A STATE OF WAR.

There is apparently no disposl'io"
IN any of the capitals concerned eA-

Ian imbroglio as serious. In Lonoon

custom house at La Guayra, the port
Of Caracas. appears to nave been
seized. On the other hand President
Cairo has caused the arrest OF Brit

dition to what he calls "iustihable re
prisars". the Venezuelan ruler has IS
sued an appeal to arms and IS pre-
pairing for warlike measures of
graver sort.
So far bloodsheG has been avoided,
but fatal shot may be fired at any
moment-and tn n? Has that contin-
gency been considered? It is easy
enough to repeat the shallow and su-
pe-fciai phrases regarding the differ
ence between territorial designs and
financial claims, between debt collec-
tion and criminal aggression, but the
logic OF events has trick of effac-
ing such distinctions.
What ia Castro's game? Clearly. It
is to his interest to involve the Unit
eG States in the controversy He has
nothing 10 lose, and it Is difficult to
see why he should now yield 10 the
demands Of the old world powers. II
the Monroe doctrine is to be enforced,
even in narrow senss Venezuela
cannot be deprived of an inch Of Ter
ritory. war, therefore. has no terrors
for Castro and his followers. An in.
demnirv may be impo"ed, but if the
powers cannot collect an ordinary
bt Of few million dollars. how viii
they enforce payment Of a war in
Semnity?
The seizure Of he custom houses
is a futile proceeding, for LILLE bu,i-
ness viii be done at the ports in pos

what is 10 prevent Castro from carry
ing out his threat and proclaiming
free trade for Venezuela? How long
will the United States permit Britain
and Germany to exercise dominion
over Venezuelan soil? Temporary
occupation" for an indefinite period
may glide into permanent retention.
It hehooves rhe United States 10

matter Our position is anomalous in

IN THE MORNING.

There were times that have dreaded In the
days that now are past;
There are times whose present coming look
forward to aghast
Many moments full of horror in my lifetime 1
have spent,
There are many still before me whose approach
can't prevent;
Many sounds have caused my heart to tumble
down into my boots
And set my nerves aQuiver with their walls or
roars or boots,
But the worst of them has never broken nm the
peaceful charm
OF mind serene and easy like the six O'CLOCK,
alarm.
I've known the time I've trembled wben NV
creditors I'd meet
At hour of set appointment or in walking down
the street;
The burly man whose truthfulness 1 lately had
denied
Approached me with an agry glare and business
in his stride;
Fond recollection takes me to the time when. as
boy,
I played the game of hockey and sharp pain sue
But no nervous apprehension of calamity or
harm
Was like anticipation of the six o'clock alarm.
What time, when from my slumber that con-
founded nickel clock.
With jarring, whirring, jingling sounds awakes
me with shock,
The sweetest, brightest visions crowd upon me
in my dreams,
And if I still am waking it is even worse, it
seems;
I'm glad to think that Gabriel will only use a
horn
To rouse us from our slumbers on the resurrec-
tion morn,
1t is worse than the shrill rooster of old days
The jingling, jangling SUMMONS of the six o'clock
alarm. Chicago DGityNea0s.

SEEK INDIAN BRIDES.

In Indian Territory among the
five civilized tribes many white men
are now seeking wives. These
Indians are rich, having good land
and money on deposit in the United
States Treasury. The mixed blood
women are beautiful, strikingly so,
and some of them well-educated.
Hence the desire of the white men to
marry them.
1t is not true that at every railroad
station dozens of beautiful young In
dian maidens are waiting patiently
for the arrival of good-looking pale
faces who will WOO and win them.
But it is true that in every hamlet
there are good-looking young women
of wealth, education and ambition
who can be persuaded to marry white
men. The white man as catch is
regarded as strictly Gin it,
Just as impecunious noblemen from
abroad marry into rich families of the
East so white men seek Indian girls
as wives. The girl has dowry all
her own, headlight that cannot be
taken away from her under any cir
cumstances. This headlight entities
her to share all of the benefits of the
tribe. If the head men of the coun-
Gil secure a payment from the Gov
ernment she gets a share. If the
white man who has married her in
sists upon it, he may also get share.
All of his children have equal rights
with the fullest of the full bloods.
The dowry of these Indian girls
varies. Five thousand dollars is not
too large an average. Some get twice
that amount.
While the Cherokees are the poor
est they have the prettiest lot of young
women, and are likewise the farthest
advanced.
While the white husbands have
nothing to complain of in the way OF
money matters or social or political
influence in the tribes they sometimes
find their home life not all that was
planned. Some women who have
been married for their money and
know of it are prone to remind their
husbands of this during family quar-
rels. That is a frequent cause OF
trouble between these couples.

FOR TIRED, NERVOUS WOMEN.

Learn how to do nothing. Prac-
tise cultivating complete rest. Any
woman can do it. Begin by com
pletely relaxing every nerve and mus
Gle for five minutes a day.
1t you are home woman, go to
your own room and give orders that
IN no event are you to be disturbed.
Draw the curtains and close the door
lie down, if possible.
Say to yourself: "I have left care
and worry and anxiety outside my
door. l will rest my soul and body
absolutely for these few precious mo-
ments.
Wide-awake repose, if complete,
will prove inestimably restful. A
few minutes of absolute relaxation,
literally thinking of nothing, will
greatly revitalize the nervous woman.
With regard to the amount of sleep
required for women an author of re-
pute says we'll that one aspect of this
subject is frequently overlooked. Ex-
tremely energetic women appear to
take virtuous pride in limiting
themselves to four or FIVE hours sleep,
really grudging that, and considering
it more disgraceful evidence of la
ziness and reprehensible waste of
time.
Now, viewed simply from a purely
material and hygienic point, this is
an error. 1t is quite possible to ac-
custom yourself to so little sleep as to
be greatly the loser thereby. 1t may
not show Immediately, but it will in
the end.
From seven to eight hours sleep is
needed by all people leading active
lives, and brain workers can least af-
ford to cut down their allowance. If
for any reason it is occasionally neces-
sary if should be made up by extra
sleep as soon as possible. Any other
course undermines the strength in
sidiously and the penalty is invaria-
bly, breakdown of some sort. The
severer the tasks imposed upon the
brain, the more sleep it should be al
lowed.
The woman who cannot sleep is
always nervous subject. She should
religiously take enough physical ex-
ercise each day to induce healthful
fatigue. She should eat simple, ca
silly digested food, avoiding tea and
coffee later than her breakfast hour.
Many women declare that tea and
coffee have no effect upon their nerves.
l know they are mistaken. Coffee
and tea are excellent excitants and
enemies to sleep.
The insomnia victim may be lulled
to rest by gentle massage-the hyp-
motto stroke will often act as magi-
cal sleep inducer. Sometimes rub
with hair friction gloves will induce
sleep. A tepid bath taken just be-
fore retiring has sedative effect.
But a hot bath is stimulating, and
should not be taken at night by ner-
