U. S. FORCES FOR NICARAGUA
Why This Country Delays Taking Any Action Case of
Executed Americans.

tionary forces. 1t is this point that
the state department is trying to clear
up before it takes any aggressive ac-
tion against Zelaya.
The American vice consul at Man
aqua, Henry Caldera, has been in
structed to obtain all possible infor-
nation on this subject. and it is be-
lieved that other agencies also have
been employed.
Everything Ready for Emergency.
Until this information is received. it
is extremely doubtful if the United
States will take any steps looking to
the chastisement of Zelaya beyond
putting itself in a position to act
promptly should occasion require It,
1t is believed that plans for the con-
centration of warships and marines
on the Nicaraguan coast will continue
and it may be that this show OF force
will have a marked effect in stimulat-
ing the energies and hopes Of the rev.
olutionists land result in large acces-
sions to their army from the disaf
fected portions of the country now
held by Zelaya's army.

Girls and Football.

There are no more enthusiastic pa
irons of intercollegiate and high-school
football than the girls and young wom-
en- of those institutions. They espouse
the cause of their favorite team with
an ardor exceeding that of the young
men who follow the game as partlc1-
pants or spectators. They wear the
colors of their favorites, cheer them on
in their most savage plays, and resent
any reflection on either the game 1t
self on their chosen players. Some-
how this disposition does not seem to
conform to the reputation the gent
Ter sex has for tenderness and horror
of what is essentially brutal and often
inflicts injury and suffering. 1t is a
curious psychological phase Of wom-
ans always mysterious predictions
and antipathies. The popularity OF
mems games with women appears to
be determined by the degree Of peril
and physical injury possibly to them:
1t was so away back in the days OF
the old arenas when men fought to the
death with savage beasts and with
each other to make holiday for wom-
en- as we'll as for their own sex, and
when women often doomed a fallen
gladiator to death. Curious, isn't it?

The Turkey Outlook.

We must eat less beef or pay higher
prices for 1t. In Kansas the turkeys
which had the run of the prairies for
years and were sent east in carloads
at Thanksgiving time have met much
the same fate as the "beef cattle,
for farms have been made of the open
lands and the turkey no longer chases
the nimble grasshopper over the plain
and turkeys are fewer in number and
will, as a matter of course. be higher
in price. And while the western
supply-and the case is the same in
other western states as in Kansas
is thus reduced, we hear that the
eastern turkeys, those raised in New
York, Connecticut and Rhode Island,
are fewer in number than usual and
so the turkey outlook is not a favor
able one. We regret the passing of
the New England farm raised birds
which have for many years been the
pride of the holiday business.-Bridge-

Funny pohhin.

The family horse. which rejoiced in

was accordingly sent away to the
country to spend his declining years in
the broad pastures of a farmer friend
of his owner. The distance being
somewhat excessive for his rheumatic
legs he was shipped to his new home
by rail.
Edna, the family four year-old,
viewed the passing of Dobbin with un-
feigned sorrow. She sat for long

Just Like Man.

The Humanitarian league has re-
Gently been conducting an agitation
against the feeding OF snakes with
live animals. DR.. Mitchell says that
snakes, which can fast from 10 to 10
months, would in the vast majority Of
cases accept dead food. In some high
types, rattlesnakes, for example, they
occasionally refuse to touch dead food.
After long observation the doctor has
convinced himself that rabbits, guinea
pigs. mice and goats, the usual food of
snakes, experience no mental terror
when face to face with their fates.
The one animal which was evident
ly terror stricken by snakes was the
monkey. In mans and monkeys COM
mon instructive dread of the snake DR..
Mitchell sees evidence of common ori-
gin. In the case OF monkeys in the
zoo one very childlike characteristic
was mentioned. They grow so fond of
sweets and certain fruits given to
them by visitors that they refuse to
touch wholesome, nourishing food
