In letter to the JOURNAL Geo.
D. Ellsworth, who is in the hospital
at the Veterans Home in Waupaca,
says his health is improving. He
speaks in praise of the institution
and it's management. There the
old soldiers have all the comforts
and conveniences found in good
homes, and the sick are kindly
cared for under the best of medical
attention and nursing.
The German government wants
Castro to apologize-to acknowl-
edge that he has been saucy. He
replies that he has no apology to
make, says he is able and ready to
pay the sum the Hague arbitration
commission shall decide upon. A
curious feature of the row has de-
veloped in the offer of the German
residents in Venezuela to furnish
Castro with the money to pay the
demands of the European powers.
Mrs. Sarah Tozer entertained the
members of the Christian Endeavor
Society at her new home on Fourth
street, Monday evening. A large
number of young people were
present who passed~the evening in
social converse and the playing of
games. A unique and interesting
game was the play upon derivative
words ending in "age," of which
there is large class. The question
would be asked: What is the age of
soothing ointments?" Salvage. :"
"The age of pious travelers?" "Pi1-
grimage." "The age of the dog?"
Courage (cur-age)." THE age of
heavy things?" Tonnage. -" "The
doctors age?" "Pillage." "The
letter age?" Postage" THE age
of money!" Coinage" And many
others equally as amusing.
President Roosevelt, in escaping
the necessity of arbitrating the diff
culties between Venezuela and the
European governments, receives the
hearty congratulations of the people
and relieves them of considerable
anxiety. 1t was felt that no advan-
tage to us could possibly be secured
in the gracious act of the Presidents
arbitration. His decision would un-
doubtedly displease Venezuela and
perhaps be unsatisfactory to Ger
many. The United States would
gain no prestige, except that of inter-
meddling. In fact there was and is
no apprehension of trouble to the
United States in this imbroglio, ex-
cept in the possibility of the powers
insisting upon Roosevelt as arbitra-
tor
