in Nicaragua, owning a gold mine in the
State and also large rubber concessions.
He is particularly interested in the present
Nicaraguan political difficulties for this
reason. He said last night in discussing
the subject: There can be no question
that the big men of the country are in
favor of the canal and of America building
it. They are all friendly to this country"
In speaking of the sentiment of the South
regarding the expansion policy he said
"It will be found that a great majority OF
the important people of the South are in
favor of the present policy of the Admins
tration. | am sure that my friends Gov
ernor McLauren and Senator Sullivan of
Mississippi, for instance, are heartily in
sympathy with expansion.

REDSKINS HAD A PICNIC
Followed on the Heels of Parade
Rehearsal.
CHIEF TREY SPOT SANG
Lu String Hair Led the Chorus--The
Sorrows of Limbo Pete-Public
Love Making Stirs Up
His Bile.

Sol Levy's variegated band of red
skins had picnic yesterday of their
own. After parade rehearsal they
treated themselves to a clever imita-
ton of a grand ball. Sol filled them
up on dried apples and ditch water and
then they sang patriotic air-patriot-
ic because of its immensely of volume
and it's piercing cadence and similarity
to the booming of cannon. The bride,
Lu String Hair, led the chorus and Old
Chief Trey Spot sang double bass. At
ter they had sung themselves into a
swoon they called on Sol for another
feed. They were given a wheelbarrow-
full of stale bread and cold chops.
Since String Hair found his Lu there
have occurred in camp daily demon
strations of hilarious joy. Indeed so
lavish has been the affection bestowed
upon one another that it has become
very tiresome to Limbo Pete, an aged
renegade from the Cree domain in Can
ada. To him this sort Of conduct indi-
Gates deterioration of the race-a
breaking up of ancient customs and
the adoption of the disgusting prac-
tees and methods of the wishy-washy,
soft white race.
Pete has Travelled much He has
been in many cities and seen things
not to his liking. He has also taken
things that did not belong to him and
he has his habits on. Whenever he
sees a buck kiss squaw he swallows
his quid of tobacco and turns green
in the face, and his eyeballs become
chalky. His muscles relax, cold per-
spira ton falls from his expansive brow
and 10 wis off TO sap1nlnI Snnt
and tries to die. He feels that he is
alone in the world, that the race of
the noble and bloodthirsty redman is
fast becoming extinct, He grieves be-
cause he thinks that is the best thing
to do. He curses fate and paws the
earth. His shouts rend the air and
bring to his side scores of frightened,
superstitious bucks and squaws.
"Prithee,. me daddy buck. what hurts
thou?" asks the first wife of the
mourner.
BE gone, base deserter Of my cause.
Off to the bug-eaten sage brush. there
to wither and die under the blazing
sun, that the just winds may scatter
the dust of your milky bones to the
four quarters!'
After this scathing arraignment of
his docile old helpmeet, Pete RECEIVERS
and returns to the assembly spot and
joins in the merriment, forgetting all
about having swallowed the tobacco.
This is merely one Of the ways of
Indiandom An Indian is an impulsive
mistake, and if perchanca he falls be-
low the social scale. he will climb up
again if he be given half a chance.
Pete, like others or his specie. has
ideas of his own, and if he falls into
state of ennui and hysteria when he
witnesses an oscuIEtory exhibition by
his own people, it should be allowed
