stnte Department silent.

Washington, Dec. 27-While the state department declined to discuss the report that Mexico had pledged itself to prevent the return of former President Zelaya to Nicaragua, the Central American diplomats here scoffed at the story. It was pointed out that Zelaya Is not a political fugitive; that he was not intercepted when he left the cover over which he formerly held sway, and that, being no Jurisdiction over him.
 ''Zelaya Is free as air." said diplo- mat tonight. He probably will not remain in Mexico for any length of time. for there Is a regular line of steamers sailing every two weeks from Vera Cruz for Havre, France by way of Havana. Because of the exist ing state of affairs, 1t is not likely that Mexico will insist upon Zelaya' s enjoying Its hospitality any longer than he cares to. His removal from the country in all probability. while il might not be acclaimed, probably would be received with quiet satisfac- tion."
 The report that Rear Admiral Kim ball visited President Madriz at Mana qua, occasions no surprise. No ex- planation was vouchsafed by the navy department, but the officers visit was pursuant to naval usage, which pro vides that the commander of a naval force shall call formally on the head of defacto governments in the waters of which his ships lie.

Light House Burns.

Newport News. Va. Dec. 27.-Having been rammed and almost cut in two by the four-masted schooner Malcolm Baxter, IT.. the Thimble Shoai light house, located four miles almost due east from Old Point Comfort, and near the tail of the Horse Shoe in Lower Chesapeake Bay. caught fire and was totally destroyed at s:30 o'clock this morning.
 Keeper Hudgens and his assistants, J. B. Thomas and T. L. Fautcher. put on in a life boat and were subsequently picked up by a rescue crew from the United States scout cruiser Birming- ham, now anchored in Hampton Roads . The men were taken to the cruiser and landed at Old Point late this even- ing.
 The schooner was inward-bound for Hampton Roads in ballast. and was proceeding under sail. The strong west erly wind and swift tide threw her off her course. and, without warning. she crashed into the frame. light house. The house crumbled before the vessel like e box and in the smash-up the stove in the light house was over turned. The hot coals set the build ing on fire and all efforts of the occu- pants of the light house to extinguish 1t were futile. Seeing that the flames must destroy the building. the light house men lowered life boat and set out for shore.
 After the collision. the Malcolm Bax- ter veered off and anchored, but was later lowed to Norfolk for repairs. The vessel was damaged about the bow. immediately after. the flames broke through the roof of the building a launch from the Birmingham steamed for the light house at full speed and picked up the men from the light house.
 A request has been made of the Light House Board that iightship be placed near the wreck until a new light house can be built.

Most men are specialists-that is.
they do but one thing; they produce
but one product
The Wise Farmer will not depend
solely upon one kind Of crop.
The climate. the soil and the nat
ural advantages OF Colorado offer the
farmer a variety OF resources. Every
farmer should grow sugar beets, al
falfa and grain crop-wheat, oats,
barley, speltz. etc. He should also
raise hogs. keep a few cows and
raise horses. He should pay his
grocery bill with butter. chickens
and eggs.
The above resources will not all
fail at one time. nor will the prices
all be low. l knew q farmer who
made more money from four year old
mares by raising Percheron, Belgian
and Clyde colts. than from an eighty
acre farm.
