There's Harry Stavers. for instance.
You know Harry. When he was 10

do say he gets pretty good wages. too.
But for my part. 1 can't see how
folks can pay a man for doin' jest
nothin at all.
Harry has a nice room full o. books
and things and a big desk with a big
krinkly kiver that shuts up as cute as
you please when he amt usin' 1t. and
there he sets all day as grand as a

more than that. they bring In STUFF al

of South and Central American re-
publics, are authority for the state
ment that there is no intention on the
Fart of the governments of these coun-
tries to recognize Cuban belligerency.
Bolivia has evidenced a purpose to
grant such recognition, but it is ek-
planned that Bolivia has no ports nor
commerce that can be affected, and
could take the step without fear of any
disastrous consequences at the hands
of Spain. The tone of the official pa
pers of South America generally have
been friendly to Spain, and the govern
ments of the respective countries do
not care to take any positions which
might result in hostilities The atti-
tude of the United States, diplomats
from the Southern republics say, WI
govern nearly every South American
country as to 4elligerency or non-in-
reference. This sentiment on the part
Of the Central and South American re-
publics to conform their foreign poll
cies to that Of the United States, it is
stated, has been more marked since
the intervention of the United States
in the Venezuelan boundary dispute.
