STATUS OF NICARAGUA CANAL.
GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE ANXIOUS FOR UNITED
STATES TO SECURE COMPLETE CONTROL.

Managua, Nicaragua Dec. 4-Cable messages
from Washington. .. c. dated December l. were
published in the "Diario Ohcial,' declaring that
the Isthmian Canal Commission had reported TO
the Government Of the United States that it is
impossible for the United States to obtain absolute
possession Of either Of the canal routes across the
American isthmus because of diplomatic impedi-
nents and of the constitutions Of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica." The plea Of constitutional obstruc-
ton is regarded here very weak, because II IS
well known that the Congress of Nicaragua re
solved itself into constitutional convention, and
at once proceeded 10 modify the constitution, and
then again resolved itself into national Congress
has since that date never been questioned, in con-
it Consequently the Congress can, when II is
called into extra session by President Zelaya, so
modify the constitution 10 empower the EXecu-
tive concede to the United States belt OF land
from to fifteen miles wide across Nicaragua
having the canal route as its Longitudinal ncrth-
easterly and southWesterly axis.
The Government and people Of Nicaragua appear
anxious TO do anything reasonable 10 enable the
United States TO acquire full control or the canal
route across their country. This is true also, no
doubt in regard to the Government ana people OF
Colombia in the matter Of the Panama Canal
route. The only probable cause OF delay or difn-
Guilty in Colombia is that the armed revolutlonists
there are obstructing the peaceful assembling OF
the Colombian Congress for any purpose

How to Talk Interestingly.

"Entertaining CONVERSATION is not
alone dependent upon a well-stored mind,
a ready wit or broad culture" writes Mts.
Kingsland in Ladies' Home Journal. at
lays under contribution qualities OF heart
as we'll as head, and should reveal sim
cerity, sympathy and simplicity.
1--WE must feel an interest in our SUBJ
ject before we can inspire it, and enthusi-
asm is contagious when it Is sincere. 1t
gives animation to the face, vivacity to
the manner, and has a thought compel
ling power that aids fluency OF expression.
Sympathy and adeptability are created in
a measure by the desire to please, but one
must be sensitive to the mood OF ones
audience and quick to perceive when
some one else wishes to speak. There are
takers who metaphorically take the bit
between their teeth and run away with a
ject. When they finally cease, no one
has anything to say, despairing OF oppor-
tunity.
"Withont simplicity, no conversation
has charm. The moment we perceive
that it is labored, or that the speaker
seems to calculate the effect Of his words,
il unnecessary mention is made OF de-
sirable acquaintances or there is display
OF attainments or mock-innocent vaunt-
ing of advantages-that moment do we
feel only contempt for the affectation and
pretense. Truth has a marvellous power
of making itself felt in spite OF what is
said. Self consciousness Is but egotism
under less severe name, and self must be
forgotten before we can add to our speech
the grace and dignity of simplicity"

periority of head work over muscle. The
Bucksport team would average we'll up to
175 pounds in weigh ht; one of their guards
weighed 219 pounds. The Ellsworth
team averaged less than 14O. Yet with
this preponderance OF weight against
them, the Ellsworth boys went through
the Bucksport line time and time again,
and not only that, they held the heavy
weights for downs many times. When the
teams lined up, the contrast in size of the
players was so marked that it seemed like
boys playing men. Before the ball had
been in play ten seconds, the seminary
team realized that they were "up against

for ''slugging". They finally scored q
touchdown and goal. Only three more
minutes remained to play, and in that
Bucksport could not score again. The
game was Ellsworth's by score of 12-6.
Ellsworth touchdowns were made by
Charles Campbell and Charles Knowlton.
The Ellsworth players were as follows:
Hurley, right end; Stock kbridge, right
