buffer and CRATER of the worst type.
He evidently counts on American IN
PREVENTION to save him from his debts
and his sins. Writing in Leslie
month before last. Francis Piedmont
Savinien told us that nobody in Nene-
zue!a knows just how wealthy Mr..
Castro is. gave some details as 10 MI
Castro's business enterprises, and theh
submitted these surprising suggestions:
Castro and his associates are not en-
thusiastic patriots. They are caicuia-
tive ones, who do not speculate Out
manipulate. His most intimate 1rlehos
declare that Castro would sell the pres
idency to derive $4,000 profit. II ne
would sell his power SO cheaply, he anu
they would undoubtedly dispose of the
country for $4,000, 900. Through Amer
lean intervention Tachirae Railroad
shares would appreciate enough 10
make Castro 100000 richer and he
| would profit immensely from cattle
sugar and transportation. His lands
| would become very valuable; he would
gain $1O,O0O.OOO. Intervention is of as
| much import to his associates. Vice.
President Gomez would realize several
millions of dollars through it because
of the extension of his business of ship
ping cattle. The fortune of Governor
| Mendoza would be trebled by values
added to real estate and ranches.
Dreams Of Generals Otanez. Corao and
Teran to become fabulously wealthy
| would be transformed into realities.
Writing in the Worlds Work last
month, Eugene p. Lyle. Jr, placed at
the service of all concerned this bit of
information:
Not long ago Germany made an offer
| to Venezuela for the Island of Mar
garita as d cOaling station. This island
can be made the outpost of the southern
continent. Other positions being equal
lied, it might decide the fate of the
| canal.
| Mr.. Castro knows all about the deli
cate relations between France and
Germany. the unpleasantness over Mo-
rocco last summer and the Algeciras
conference. Suppose he should think
this q good time to sell Margarita to
Germany. 1t would be just like him.

He Saw Nothinu.

Charles NJ. Schwab, in an address
at LOretto, praised resourcefulness.
'''rhe resOurceful man. he said,
lets nothing discourage him. In the
most untOward conditions he thinks
and thinks until he hits on an expe-
dent which turns the very untOward-
ness of things into help. Let me
illustrate this point with foolish
story that yet has Il lesson in it,
"A mother, fearing that her pretty
daughter had betrOthed herself to a
young man of Inferior station, hired
her little son, a boy of seven or eight.
to stay in the parlOr throughout an
expected visit of the unwelcOme
sutton
1.-The boy carried out his contract
duly, and at 10 o'clock, tired and
sleepy, he came to his mother and
asked for his pay.
Did you stay in the parlor?" she
asked. eagerly.

"'Wcll, what hapened?'
"'We played blind mans buff said
the boy. and it was lots of fun; but
