One Of the greatest dishes of the
Italians is 'polenta-" They often
serve it to guests, but it is nothing
more than cornmeal mush, one of the
dishes of our forefathers, yet always
one of the best in the winter.

when it is extended to former scion
of the cars domain has been one Of
the unsolvable puzzles of this govern
ment for some wears. Men who fed
from the tortures and expressions of
Russia to America, became natural
lied and then attempted to go back
where their families or parents still
remained, have been seized by Rus
sian authorities, thrown into prison
or sent to Siberia. American presi-
dents, state departments, ambassa-
doris, senators and congressman have
argued, pleaded, threatened, made
tactful protests and passed resolutions
until they were black in the face, all
without result. Russia has had one
cherished declaration, that no Russian
subject can end his allegiance to that
government by pretending to become
an American citizen.
President Taft has determined to
cut the diplomatic Gordian knot, and
Rockhill, one of the most accom-
plished and successful diplomats in
the service, is instructed to bring
about the action necessary to make
Uncle Sans passports pledge OF
safety in Russia for all time.

There was no special celebration Of

however, that what Uncle Joe really

gentlemen of the house, whose names
will not be mentioned in this presence,

ment politely invited Alfonso to be-
come a cadet at West Point. He en-
tered the academy six years ago, and
after a couple of years "fiuked'-
failed to pass his examinations. He
came to Washington, and while living
in a boarding house met the charming
Miss Marguerite Baker, as she was
known, adopted daughter Of DIR. w. w.
Baker, of the post Office department
They were wed in the spring OF
19O6-since then they have learned,
but seemingly not to their sorrow, that
the world is not made up of Repub-
lies and of well-born and considerable
Virginians.
A most romantic fact in this court
ship and marriage became known
months after Zelaya had won
his bride. Then she produced proofs
of her descent from the Lee family.
Mrs. Zelaya's' mother was beautiful
Spanish woman, and records In the
District of Columbia courts show that
the daughter was committed to local
founding asylum years ago under the
name of Lee. She was taken from the
asylum and adopted by DR.. Baker. and
until she wed young Zelaya 1t was be-
lieved that she was DR.. Bakers daugh-
| ter.
Mrs. Zelaya speaks with a pro-
nounced Spanish accent. Her hus-
band and she visited Nicaragua, and
reports came back to this country that
President Zelaya had been won over
by his daughter-in-law. Just why the
young couple are living under such
circumstances it is impossible to
learn, their pride bars them from max
| ing an explanation. 1t was rumored,
not long ago. that Zelaya's father
would appoint him to a diplomatic
| post.

uncollectible accounts on his books
and the struggle to meet the demands
of his own creditors became one Of
serious proportions. but he met them,
weathering the storm which swept
away so many Of his competitors in
business and when good prices came
again a large proportion of the ac-
counts were paid.
Another period of financial hard
ship came in the winter of 1901 and
1902. The preceding season had been
one of comparatively low prices for
the wheat growers and many of them
were unable to meet their current OBJ
legations. The Big Bend Land Com
pany's investments had absorbed
some of the firms current capital in
land investments. which did not begin
to enjoy an active market until year
or two later and in the spring of
1902 the creditors of Hay & Hay met
In Spokane to consider whether to
press the firm. Mr.. Hay went before
the meeting with a detailed statement
of the financial affairs of the company
and its stockholders and asked an ex-
tension of credit for nine and IL
months.
On the showing as presented by
him the extension was granted. The
season proved to be a prosperous one,
crops were large and prices excellent
and an influx of population set in
from the east. creating an active mar
ket for farm lands. so that the firm
was able to more than meet all of the
promises.
Mr.. Hay entered politics in 1892. be-
coming chairman of the central COM
mittee of Lincoln county. which he
resigned in 1904. He was among the
first to take an active aart in the agi-
tation which swept the country over
the grain-growing region for tie legis-
lative regulation of railroad rates and
service, and in 1902 and 1904 he was
the recognized leader in the county OF
the railroad commission faction of his
party. He was defeated for the state
senate in 1908. but at the primary
election in 1908 he was nominated for
the office of lieutenant governor on
the second choice ballot His family

whom are boys and two girls.
