REFLECT PRESIDENT MnNTEs

La Paz Bolivia. Aug. 13.-Pres
ident Monies OF the Bolivian repub.
lie who was to have retired from
chce today las been reelected by
congress to serve one year more ow.
ing to the recent death Fernando
Glachalla, the president-elect. II
was decided by congress that the vice
president-elect who will take office
tomorrow, cannot become president
because Senior Guachalla died before
assuming the presidency. An cleo
ton to be held within the year TO
choose successor to President
hontes. Senior Guachalla was elect.
ed on May last and died suddenly
on July "a.
Rumors to the effect that a polit.
zeal crisis is imminent, owing to the
death OF Guachalla, are without
foundation of fact. The Monies
government is highly popular with
the majority of the people and any
attempt to ferment revolution
would certainly end disastrously for
the plotters Congress is now in ses
ion and there is fair promise OF
many reform laws demanded by the
people being passed.
The new railroad line between La
PaZ and the southern part of the
republic, completed the first of the
month. is now in operation and
marks a distinctive advance in Bo-
ivian prosperity.

There was once poor donkey on

Ing foolish knight. who wore large
round hat and long cloak, because
he had no legs. Now a man who has
no legs ana rides a donkey on wheels
has a little cause for pride; but the
knight was hnughty and seldom res
membered his circumstances. So the
donkey suffered sorely. and in many
ways. #
One day the donkey and the knight
were on the table in front Of tho child
to whom they belonged. She was cut

large pair OF scissors. 'Mistress,'' said
the knight, "thts donkey tries my tenn
