How the Mate Got Even

The mate of a certain schooner was
in the habit Of drinking more than was
good for him. On one occasion, after
he had recovered from an unusually
severe attack Of intoxication, he was
looking over the log and found that
the captain had inscribed therein on
certain date: Mate drunk" The
mate promptly went to the captain
and asked why such statement had
been written down. 1T is true, ism;
it?" asked the captain. YES" said
the mate. Then let 1t stand said
the captain. A few days later the cap
tain, in looking over the log, found
this inscription: Captain sober" He
summoned the mate and asked him
what he meant by taking such liber-
ty. cts true, isn't it?" Yes" said
the captain, but" "Then let it

The present rebellion in the Repub-

governments of Colombia and Vene-
zula in war.
There Is a contingency which might
involve the United States in Difficult
ties with foreign countries. Both Ven
ezuela and Colombia have large for
eign debts, on most of which interest
has not been paid for years. Bonds
representing this indebtedness are held
chiefly by England and Holland. If, in
order to protect these bondholders
from further loss by disastrous war,
either of these nations should inter-
fere it is probable that the Monroe doc
trine would be involved and the United
States would cry Hands off"
In the meantime it may be we'll to
explain that the popular idea that this

not altogether well founded. In the
first place the territory of the Repub-

as that of the State of Illinois, while
its population is only 5000, against
100000 in Illinois. In the second
place the attacks on the present gov
