A MISAPPREHENSlON
In Relation to the Bureau of American
Republics Corrected.

hPDuDilcs corrected.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ? 1t appears
rom an examination of the complete
report of the Bureau of American Re-
publics that the South and Central
American republics have not aban-
dOned their connection with the bu-
reau, but have been more prompt IN
paying their quota of its expenses for
the past year than in any other like
period.
The misapprehension was due to-
failure to understand the exact mean
ing of a sentence referring to such
payments which stated that since the
date of my last annual report the
following sums have been paid, which
apparently included all the countries
that had responded with their sup
port and placed among the delinquents.
such countries as Brazil and Costa Rica,
who are, as matter of fact, among the
warmest supporters of the bureau. It
appears that at the time the report.
closed, six months ago. not a single
American republic had withdrawn from
the union, Chilli having never been a.
member.

revolver.
A sealed letter addressed to his wife

pocketbook and r~eclltie lying on tor

he is known to the reading public, was
born in Shirley, Piscataquis county,
Me-, August Is, 1850, and at the age of
two years. according to his W story.
he took his parents by the hand and
led them to the west. The family set
tied in Wisconsin. on the banks of the
st. Croix river. The elder Nye was a
farmer, and the son followed the pillow
until he reached the age of IL years
He then vent to school and received an
academic education at River Falls, Wis.
In 1876 young Nye went TO Wyoming,
where he studied law and was admit
ed to the bar.
There, as he said. he practicedla law in
4 quiet way, although frequently
warned by the authorities not tc do
So" He had plenty of leisure time on
his hands in those days, which he used
in writing a Sunday letter for the
Cheyenne Sun at the handsome re-
Enumeration of one dollar n column.
In one of his humorous Autobiography
zeal sketches Mr.. Nye says that that
sum, which amounted to $50 a year.
SO dwarfed his income from his
law practice that he decided
to take up newspaper writing as a pro-
f~ession, and accordingly he moved to
Denver, where he obtained n position
on the staff of the Denver Tribune
He correspondent from Denver for the
Salt Lake Tribune. Later on a new
paper was started in Laramie, called
the boomerang. The paper a named
after Nye's favorite mule, which he
called boomerang because he never
knew where the animal would land.
The boomerang was not Il financial
success, however. and Nye began
writing for a syndicate of newspapers.
His face became familiar to the public
by the hundreds of c~aricatures of the.

McDougall, who collaborated with him
in getting up the Nye letters.

a reputation for almost womanly gem

acquired considerable property.
His wife was formerly Miss Fanny
Smith, of Chicago. They were mar
