out both its limitations and its bene-
fits.
He suggests that, luasmuch as the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty can be revised
to make the canal free for American
commerce, it should be done. although
he does not admit that it will be found
possible to do It. He. therefore. sug-
gests the free-tO-aH plan.

coal cheaper.
"Suez declares a dividend OF 20 per

he says.
The admiral winds up by declaring
that the canal, i'm the first year Of its
operation, will return a revenue in

that. II he introduced Mr.. Moral Sup
port to Estrada and then sat down to
walt, the downfall Of Zelaya would
soon occur. He was right. II did not
take the people of Nicaragua long to
find out that there was a stranger i'm
their midst, that he was helping rs
trada, and that his help was very pow
erful. There followed the riots I'm
Managua against Zelaya, denunciations
Of him in the congress, and finally MS
resignation.
Second Step.
That was the first step. Now comes
the second, 20 make Estrada the un-
disputed power throughout all Of Mica
ragua. That this will be done within
comparatively short time is confidently
believed by the State Department. for
old Mr.. Moral Support is still getting in
his good work.
Back Of the present Nicaraguan stu
alton, however, there is another great
fact. This country has at last estab-
lished well-defned precedent for deal
ing with Central America, the only part
of the world where revolutions are
made overnight and wars are fought
between breakfast and the office hour
Hereafter. with the aid Of that "Stima-
HE old gentleman, Mr.. Moral -,tppOrt,

erty is threatened or injured. And, as

Mexico's Part.
So far, Senior Enrique Creel, who came
here from Mexico with a choice selection
Of unsolicited suggestions about how
| this country should deal with Zelaya,
/ has not gotten away with anything eX-
/ cept the information that Zelaya. is be-
| ing dealt with strictly according to
| schedule. More and more, st becomes

up over the precedent this country has
set for dipping into the affairs of Cen

any indication that she can prevent the

/ If Mr. Moral Support presented his

Famous Blunder of Blaine Recalled

Blaine's reply to it and realized that
Blaine had made fatal error Upon
arrival at the hotel Devine sought
Blaine and asked him about the
speech, showing him the newspaper
account.
Il don't know a thing about it,
said Blaine. did Burchard say that?"
Blaine told Devine how he had gone
out on the landing of the stairway to
see the delegation of ministers, head
ed by DR.. Burchard. DR.. Burchard,
so Blaine said, read his speech in a
sing-song voice, and Blaine, who was
thinking of what he should say in
reply, did not pay particular attention
to it.
Blaine said also that he had been
so admirably looked after up to that
time by Devine that it never occurred
to him that he was likely to make a
fatal error in agreeing to what DR..
Burchard had to say, and he had not
heard the fatal expression of DR..
Burchard until Devine called his at
tention to it in the newspapers.
"Of course, Mr.. Devine," Blaine
said, I'VE know what would have
said had that been called to my at
tention.'
Blaine's friends here say he always
attributed his defeat more to DR..
Burchard than to any other cause.

Alaskan Sea Captain's Recovery from
Injuries Considered to Border on
the Miraculous.

A thrilling bear story is contained in
q report received at the navy depart
ment from Passed Assistant Surgeon
c. c. Grieve, in charge of the naval
hospital at Sitka, Alaska.
The captain of fishing sloop was
brought to the hospital for treatment
An examination showed that he had
been bitten no less than 81 times by
a female brown bear and had received
in addition many deep scratches.
The fishing captain landed one day
on the shore of Rodman bay to hunt
for deer. On his return at night he
stumbled on the bear and her two
young cubs.
Before he could use his rife the
bear was upon him. In the struggle
that ensued the man was bitten In ell
parts of the body.
For three days he lay where he had
fallen, without food or drink except Z

Taft Again Eating Three Meals Daily

have all fallen into the practice of
going over to the Metropolitan club,
where they serve fine luncheon, and
negotiating the entire bill of fare, from
soup to cigars. Secretary of State
Knox, who doesn't weigh much more
than three ham sandwiches, has gain
ed ten pounds already, and Attorney
General Wickersham, who was the
only member of the cabinet that re-
fused to adopt the simple life lunch
con, has the laugh on his associates
who did.
The president inaugurated his new
policy Of taking three square meals a
day for two reasons. First, he found
that the cravings of the inner man
we're not satisfied with two and a half
meals, and, secondly, his system of ex.
ercise has kept his weight down and
he thinks he can safely return to the
old way of working OF three square
meals.
The president discovered some time
ago that he could safely take care OF
three full meals by continuing his
daily golf and horseback riding. Since
Decoration day he has not missed q
midday meal.

Doa's Weil.Earned Monument.

Near the hospice of St. Bernard,
Switzerland, is a monument to Barry.
one Of the dogs, which always inter
ests tourists. This animal died soma
years ago, and writer in the Wido
World Magazine tells his story: "D1f~
ing the ten years he was at the hos.
pice he saved the lives Of 40 persons
who had lost their way in the snow
On one occasion he found a child, ten
years old, lying in the snow under the
influence of the fatal slumber which
precedes death. The dog warmed tho
child with it's breath, and then reused
it from sleep by licking it. This much
accomplished, Barry, by lying down
on its side, gave the child an obvious
invitation to get upon it's back ana
ride. The child did so, and was thus
carried to the monastery. Barry was
killed by some unknown person, prob
ably in mistake" The inscription On
the monument is: Barry, the heroic.
Saved the lives of 40 persons, and ws,n
killed by the forty-first.'

MAN BADLY MAULED BY BEAR

the moisture he could get from leaves
He began his trip down the mountain,
crawling inch by inch, and reached the
beach on the evening of the seventh
day. He was pestered by mosquitoes,
which at that time of year in Alaska
are frightful. The wounded and al
most naked man was compelled to
burrow In the leaves and moss.
His companions went in search of
him, but they did not find him until he
reached the beach. He was taken at
once to the Sitka hospital, where he
was found to be delirious and enact
lated.
Treatment was administered. al.
though there seemed little chance that
he would recover. He was out of the
hospital, however. within 81 days.

The letting Of the contract for con-
structing the railroad to run from
africa, Chile, to La Paz, Bolivia, is an
other striking indication of the prog
ress made in uniting the three Ameri-
cas-. The new line, to cost $15,O00,-
600, will cross the Andes mountains at
height of 10000 feet above the level
of the sea and is to be part of the
longitudinal system which is to ira
verse practically the entire length Of
Chile, 5000 miles or more. And it will
be an important link in that enormous
ly greater system which in time will
make it possible to travel by rail from

South America. The late Hinton
Rowan Helper should have taken
heart of grace, seeing how rapidly his
idea was materializing.

for the first-named, which in a 24-hour
trip made an average of $3.50 knots
per hour, her competitor, the Salem,
reporting an average of 24.54. The Of:

out when the contest was half over,
some impairment to the machinery

The American army mule is valu-
able and useful beast, as has often
been demonstrated, and he is holding
his own, with no kick coming. The
government stands by him. Orders
have just been issued that army off,
GERS going to and from San Francisco
and the military reservation near that
city must ride in conveyances drawn
by army mules and not automobiles.
The officers formed the automobile
habit at the time of the earthquake

the good old reliable mule as quite
adequate to ordinary conditions, and
SO the animal comes back to his for

Residents of New York city are ask
ing why, in the face of the casualty
records of last year, and the growing
movement for safe and sane Fourth
of July. the fire commissioner of that
city has issued fifteen hundred permits
for the sale Of fireworks. This is in
consistency worthy of note; although
even In cases where cities have rigid
ordinances against the use of fireworks
within their limits, dealers may be
permitted to sell fireworks to outsid-
ers who are not wise enough to heed
the lessons of experience. The way
to prevent the abuse of the privileges
is to limit the permit in these in,
stances to wholesaling.
