Nicaragua on Eve of Another Rebellion
Managua, Mica, October 30.-Presiden,
Zelaya, of Nicaragua, is sending a com
mission to the United States and to Eu-
rope, who will try to sell Nicaragua's ma
ional railroad and steamboats,.
In government circles and in the semi
official organ. Ell Concrete. the PROPOSE
ton Is discussed of attempting to relieve
the present low condition of Nicaragua's
paper money and the financial condition
generally by issuing other large sums of
paper money-prOmises to pay, based on
mortgages on improved real estate in
Nicaragua. There are many indications
that there will be another revolution soon
in Nicaragua. the third in about three
years. The people are restless and do not
want President Zelaya to sell the ma
tional railroad and the steamboats,. 1t is
claimed that some of the most prominent
N~icaraguan officials have been placing
large amounts to their credt in Europe.

The gamin has always been infatuated
with the Little Corporal in his gray
oyercoat, but he, however, not being
logical, is fond of liberty DelacEoix has
painted him black, with gunpowder un-
der his torn cap, standing, pistol in
hand, on one Of the street barricades
during the revolution Of 1880. In 1913
we saw him scale the very throne of
Louis Philippe at TIE Tuileries and
have himself carried about on it in tri-
umrh. Always impulsive, he is as ready
to save as to destroy and will leap into
the Seine to rescue a drowning child Of
his own age without ever stopping to
think whether he knows how to swim
or not.
What is he doing when not playing
tops or marbles in the gutter? Some
times he is plasterer's help and so
powdered with white dust as 10 seem
Piorrot himself, sometimes an apprep-
ticc in a green linen apron, or a pastry
cooks boy, clothed in a questionably
white cotton suit from head to heels,
balancing his basket on his head as he
saunters along, or printers devil in
blouse and paper cap, or he pushes a
hand cart or sells flowers, newspapers,
matches, etc, or he may join the army
Of young telegraph messengers. He may,
by chance, rise TO the position of errand
boy in lawyers Office or even soar to
the elegance Of a painters rapin.
Who knows what his future may be?
There are painters and sculptors who
began 10y sweeping studios, and some Of
these gamins have quick and bright
minds and clever hands They catch
everything on the wing and assimilate
it without taking the trouble to study.
There are others, nevertheless, who,
after having tried several trades, follow
none Of them, but pass from loafing to
idleness, turn out badly and finally are
arrested for misdemeanors. Some Of
them. true to their instincts, manage to
be amusing, even when on trial, by their
cynicism under the unfortunate ci~cum-
stances Mime. Blanc in McClure's

The joker, perceiying a fine chance to
make a point and struck by the curious

the story goes, reported that while he

well developed, and that there were
signs that he was also person OF ex'

by mail and the phrenologist expressed,
in closing, the hope that at some time

English Justice.

A short while ago one Harry Trelease
was charged before the Falmouth bench
in England with the heinous crime Of
sleeping out near a hayrick and having
no visible means of subsistence. In the
eyes Of the magistrates his guilt was
aggravated by the fact that he had a
pipe in his possession. Though the pipe
was empty and the offender had neither
tobacco nor matches, the English judges
determined to make an example of this
man, who had never been punished be-
fore. They accordingly sentenced him
to one month in Jail. The poor wretch
took the matter so much to heart that
he committed suicide before he was
taken to prison New York Sun.
