"~OU'RE looking bad said Snug
 gins.
 Buggins certainly did look bad. His eyes had large dark rings under them, his face was pale, and his left cheek was horrlbly swollen.
 "Badv' be snorted. "So would you look bad if you'd been through what I have"
 Whats the trouble?'
 "Well, I've had jumping neuralgia since 2 o'clock this morning, if that's what you want to know. But that's not the trouble. The trouble is that I've been walking about the streets with it since daylight
 But the streets are no place for you," protested Snuggins, If you have neuralgia. You ought to stay home"
 That's all you know about it,'' snarled Buggins. Homes no place for me when I'm sick"
 "Why, your wife used to be trained nurse" ".'e.
 Exactly. She can give me the best attention-from a medical standpoint. She knows just what ought to be done and does it. But there the matter ends. Sympathy's what want, and that she won't give to any sick man. She says she wouldn't have been good nurse if she hadn't got rid of her sympathy in the first year of her training. She is always we'll herself and can't appre- ciate what pain is. Go home? Not muchv' hv'-Philadelph Press.

To curtaiI PIa Iron Output.

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-Realizing that a further curtailment of their product is necessary to restore the pig iron market to its normal condition, repre- sentatives of nearly all the big pig iron producers in the eastern district held a meeting here and adopted resolution to continue the same ratio of reduction for November as during October. This means that all the merchantabie blast furnaces in eastern and southern New York, eastern Pennsylvania, New ter sey, Delaware and Maryland will re- duce their output for the current month at least 20 per cent. The production for October showed that the total out. put of the furnaces involved had been reduced to 68 800 tons.

 Simply shameful that he dr1nks!" Or some hard-worked fellow-being
 That you've learned to know of late, Fighting bravely and unai6ed
 Gainst stubborn frcwning fate: Just a mention inadvertent
 To this butt-'em pest: "Acts hard up t keep it quiet
 How he's feather1n' his nest" F. Then that other chap, whose handciasp
 Oft had saved you from despair Surely there's no blot or blemish On his 'scutcheon white and fair. But this human turkey buzzard

 "She does not seem to be prized as much as she was formerly"
 How do you make that out?'

 vorabIe to Nicaragua Route.
 Washington, Nov. 3.-Arthur M. 2Beaupre, United States minister to Co., lombia, has been withdrawn by order of the president and instructions ca ,bled him to come home at once.
 He was notified several days ago to hold himself in readiness to leave Bo- gotta at once if the Colombian congress adjourned without taking some favor able action In the canal natter and it is supposed that he has already left the capital
 Formal announcement that he had been granted an indefinite leave of ab- sence was made Saturday in such a way as to make 1t appear that he had asked for leave. MT. Beaupre did not ask for leave. He has simply been withdrawn.
 His departure will mean that dip lomatic relations between Washington and Bogota have practically been sus- pended and will not be renewed unless Colombia experiences a change of heart on the isthmian canal proposition. AL ban G. Snyder, the secretary of Iega- .,tion, will be left temporarily in charge of affairs at Bogota, but he will attend to nothing but routine matters and clerical work.
 A Reply to CoIombia's Threats.
 This course, which was predicted when it became apparent months ago that the canal treaty would fail of ratification by the Colombian congress, has been selected by the adm1nistra- -tion to show in most emphatic way its displeasure with Colombia. It is sharp reply to the unofficial notifica- ton recently brought to Washington by a Colombian emissary that if this country did not materially increase its offer for the canal zone Colombia would open negotiations for control of the property with a syndicate of Ger man, French and English bankers.
 If Colombia remains obdurate Secre- itary Snyder may be recalled and the legation closed.
 The president probably will take no further action until he has submitted the whole matter to congress. He con ailznEa fhaf Cnlnmht hta haa hgohen faith

merely necessary to unloosen this
screw and the parts may be placed In
