PREDICT WAR WITH AMERICA.
NencZuelaE Officials See Only One
Outcome of Asphalt Row.

War with the United States over
fifty miles Of swamp land is predicted
by leading Venezuelan officials. The
strip was under control of the asphalt
trust until the beginning of the long
series of difficulties that now may end
in a contest with America.
All the turmoil, bloodshed. revolution
and international controversies have
their origin in this speck of territory
Upon its proper development depends
the wealth of the nation; for it is the
natural outlet for all the resources of a
country so rich in the earth's treasures
that the dreams of a PiZarro might be
realized. 1t was granted to the as
phalt trust with the agreement that it
would be developed Canals were TO be
dug so that the boats could sail IN the
river to the gold mines. the silver
mines, the oil wells and the rich coffee
plantations. Railroads were to have
been built. One of the Venezuelan gov
ernment's principal complaints against
the American asphalt trust is that it
never fulfilled any of these promises.
All the trust did was to push its own
boats into the pitch lakes. load them
and take away the valuable natural
product
The district has remained impOvcr-
1shed because undeveloped. Its 3,WU.-
0i" people were poor because they could
not get their wealth sold. The rail
roads and the canals promised never
materialized into anything better than
mule caravans and canoes. The GUS
toms which composed the chief income
to the national treasury fell off, for the
asphalt was free of duty.
Then the temper of this mixed race
Of Spanish. negroes. and natives reach
ed the boiling point. They hated these
1000 white men and their trust greed.
They made life dangerous for the for
eigners. Suits We're flied in the shakv
courts Of the country to try to get back
the asphalt wealth given away. Castro
found he was fighting the most eypcrt
trust lawyers, men who knew other
tricks besides those of the courts. Rovo-
lutionary leaders took advantage of the
turmoil to start internal troubles. Ev-
erybody in Venezuela believes that the
Matas rebellion was financed by the
trust-and all VenezuelanS insist that
it was Castro's duty to the people to
dispossess the trust.
Meanwhile this land Of wonderful
wealth lies like shining diamond in n
hill of sand. It's Brazil wood, coral
trees. indigo, rubber, bananas remain

A Marriage Fiction.

The polite fiction obtains that mar.
rIages are made in heaven. This ro-
mantle viewpoint is particularly popu-
lar in America, where it is held TO be
highly improper for parents to make
any move toward securing good hus-
bands for their daughters and immod-
est for girls to manifest any interest
in the subject themselves
The conventional theory is that the
matter is or the knees of the gods and
that in uuc season husbands will be
provided like mamma in the Wilderness
for sustenanCc of the faithful. Unfor-
tunately this miracle does not always
come off for every woman. The supply
Of mamma gives out. There are not
enough husbands to go around, and
these are un2yenly divided. Some wom-
en- get three or four. while others get
none. But neither the old maids nor
their parents realize that the reason
that they did not share in the dispen-
Sation was their own fault, because
they did not put themselves, as old
fashioned McthOdiSts used To say. in an
attitude to receive the blessing Dor

The tohunga (native magican) was

encing the dead. The present writer
was witness of the following Incl.
dent: a branch of the Arawas. the
tribe Of the district of Rotorua being
at war, had suffered defeat, and one
of their braves had been brought home
dead. The vanquishcd sought at once
to find out by some omen connected
with the dead chief whether they would
be successful in their next encounter.
The tohunSa was requested To procure
THE desired omen, the people squatting
in Il ring about the bier. Advancing n
few PAGES from the dead body, the
priest began to recite n powerful mean
tation intent on making the deceased
give some sign, the eyes Of all present
being fixed on the slain warrior. Pres
emily the corpse was observed to move
slightly to one side on which a great
cry Of joy rose from the people. The
movement was interpreted as Sign Of
future victory This feat was often

Men of Today.
The general idea that our enormous
advances in science and command over
nature serve as demonstrations of our
mental superiority to the men of ear
lier ages is totally unfounded. The evil
dence of history and of the earliest
monuments alike goes TO indicate that
our intellectual and moral nature has
not advanced in any perceptlble degree.
In the second place. we find that the
supposed great mental inferlority of
savages is equally unfounded. The more
they are sympathcically studied the
more they are found to resemble our
powers.
Even the so long dcSpised Australian
