1t Is Possible That the COmmis sion
May Continue to Sit.
There is said to be a good prospect that
the Chilean American claims commission
may be able to prolong it's sessions long
enough to permit the satisfactory adjust
ment of all the claims before it, notwith-
standing the refusal of the Chilean govern
ment to extend the existence of the COM
mission beyond April 8, the limit fixed by
the treaty between the two countries. The
claims presented on behalf of Chilean cti-
zens amount to less than $3.OOO.OOO. while
those of citizens of the United States aggre-
gate S2I.OO0OOO. The time for the filing Of
claims has expired.
BY the decision rendered in the Itata case

sure that the United States will be COM
PEELED to pay nearly $500, 900 for the deIen-

ment of Chile is relieved of o most embar-
RAISING case, which has threatened for ten
years to diminish its national treasury to
the extent of more than SlO,0UO,OOO. All the
other cases before the commission are small
and easy to adjust.
This satisfactory result has led the

ion that their government might now be
Wiling TO continue the consideration Of the

Inc regular session of the Chilean con-

Nero, was in another cage nearby The
three became engaged I'm A pitched battle.

liberty. The keeper, who was alone and
not prepared for such an emergency ran
out OF the building, leaving the door open
to the lot and the three lions were out in
a moment.
There were four head of fine cattle. he

soon became the prey OF the lions which
probably, was all that saved Keeper BraRg's
life Ii being late at night Col. Sells was
notified. and by the time he arrived The
lions had killed the cattle and were sucking
their blood. which made them all the more
ferocious and unmanageable. Torches were
procured. fires built and irons heated. and.
after two hours Of hard and nervous work.
the beasts were driven back into another
cage. that was placed near the entrance

To the young who wishes TO be informed

eligible girls are before US. Some are pretty
some are not. The highest bidder can have the
girl he chooses. lie marries her. You must bear
In mind he has never met her before lie thinks
she's nice and after marrying her tries to love
her But 1t is impossible. Why7 Because he
does not know her. has not studied her habits,
not even her nature. knows nothing OF her
character. Suppose she turns out to be false
DO you think you could love her them De-
cidedy not. Love is when two persons are ir-
resistlbly drawn towards each other by the little
man Cupid. They did not know each other. but
gradually they grew fonder and more anectionate,
until they could not live without each other
This shows that love made them understand each
other and fate wlied It. OF what does the poet
sing?
Love. sweet love, is a poets theme.
Love. sweet love. is poets dream
Surely your lady friend who thought she loved
