The Bunch of Violets.

Anne Stacey sat with her back TO the
light of her existence and the chanje-

manned equally Indifferent, the one OBJ
scured by the evening paper and the
other by the pink tissue shade. So she
lifted her pretty foot to the glow of the
fire-the only glow that seemed in evil
dence anywhere-and engaged in her
long practiced game of making the best
of things. But the play went DULY this
night, although the Goals arranged the
usual pictures for her to gaze into ana

a big bowl Of YiOlets which stood on the

of the lines which had come as valen-

she whispered sadly. 1T does not last

Janitor's Humorous Misunderstand-

The janitor of a fashionable Boston
fat opened his basement door in an
swer to a ring, and found there a tidy
appearing young man who inquired if
Mrs. Cleverington lived in the fiat
The janitor answering in the affirma-

to that lady's apartments. Stimulated
by the money, the mental readily led
the way upstairs. At Mrs. Clevering-
toms door that lady, on beholding her
long-absent college brother, flung her
arms about his neck, and kissed him
before the eyes of the astonished
janitor
A half-hour later the flats handy
man again hurried up the stairs and
knocked at Mrs. Cleverington's door.
When it was opened by a maid he
stuck his head inside until his eyes
came upon the loving couple chatting
together on the sofa.

KEEP SWEET.

Suppose world of trouble do
Annoy you day by day:
Suppose that friends. considered true
Your trust in them betray;
And rocks may bruise, and thorns may
tear
Your worn and weary feet,
And every day you meet a snare
Keep sweet.
suppose you have not each desire
That forms within your mind;
And earth denies you half your hire,
And heaven seems quite unlxind;
And you have not the best to wear,
Nor yet the best to eat;
And if you have the meanest fare
Keep sweet.
A grabbed heart will make things
worse
And harder still to bear.
A cheerful heart destroys the curse
And makes the heavens fair
So then. whatever be your case
Whatever you may meet,
Dwell on the good-forget the base
Keep sweet.

GOD BLESS YOU.
(Rv r. Nom. Belly

u
God bless you-'tis homely phrase.
1t brings the smiles. it brings the
tears,
1t holds the hopes of other days,
The joys of other years.
The pain of parting, and the bliss
OF happy hearts on homing wing,
The warmth of the returning kiss.
The clasp of arms that closely
cling.
God bless you-Ah, the blood runs
warm
When dear lips breathe the prayer
sincere.
God keep you safe from hurt or
harm,
God bless you through the year,

'If q quarantine has been ordered in

When the announcement Of the alleged

Secretary Stewart was out of the state.
After his return, and finding that Mr..
Felt prominently identified wi tn and well
known among shespmen, was going 10 Ne
Vada Mr.. Stewart asked Mr. Felt to in
vestigate conditions there and report by
letter.
The letter received yesterday was TO the
effect that MI Felt had inquired Of the
sheriff and county assessor Of ELkO COun-

that no action had been taken by these
officials against the flocks Of sheep which

Blot Upon History.


1T is equally a matter of common
knowledge that under the regime of Pres
ident Zelaya republican institutions have
ceased in Nicaragua to exist except in
name; that public opinion and the press
have been thrOttled; and that prison has
been the reward Of any tendency to real
patriotism. Ny consideration for you per-
sonally impels me to abstain from un-
necessary discussion Of the painful de-
tails of regime which unfortunately has
been a blot upon the history Of Nicara-
qua and a encouragement to a group of
republics whose aspirations need only the
opportunity Of free and honest govern
ment
"Tn view Of interests of the United
States and Of its relation to the Wash
ngtOn conventions, appeal against this
situation has long since been made to this
government by a majority of the Central
American republics There is now added
the appeal through the revolution, of a
great body Of the Nicaraguan people.

with the revolutionary forces and there

said to have been preceded by barbarous
cruelties.

There Is thus a sinister elimination of
an administration also characterized by a
cruelty to its own citizens which has, un-

case of this country, in a succession of

Little Helen, 15-months-old daughter Of

East Eleventh South street, is in a seri-
Gus condition and in danger Of losing her
sight as the result Of playing with a Gel
lulOid comb in front Of an open fireplace

to refrain from exploitation of the terri

Purpose Of Knox.

In the ordinary course this government
would content itself with the payment of
a heavy monetary indemnity to the fam
lilies of the victims Of Zelaya's edict-
But. as Secretary Knox clearly indicates
in his letter, it is not the purpose of the
American government thus TO tax the
great majority of the Nicaraguan people
who did not sympathize with Zelaya s
action.
The status may be summed up as fol
lows:
Diplomatic relations between the United
States and Nicaragua have been ter
minated. DR.. Hazera, minister designate
from Nicaragua, viii not be received at
the state department. Senior Rodriguez
the charge Of the NicaFaguan legation
has been given his passports and so has
no official standing here.
On the receipt of the letter Of Mr.. Knox
through a state department messenger
Senior Rodriguez notified his government
by cable. He is awaiting a reply and
Will remain here a few days. When seen,
Senior Rodriguez was excited, but his dis
cussiOn of the situation was brief,
I'VE are stricken to the heart We are
Daralyzed," was his expression.
There was, however, little evidence at
the NicaragUan legation Of so profound a
feeling. On the contrary IT was the
scene Of much gaiety.
