The feeding Of the hungry soldiers
of zelaya's conquered army with sup
plies from the warships Of the United
States should serve as a demonstra-
tion TO Latin Americans of the bene-
violent and forgiving spirit in which
Uncle sam takes a hand in the affairs
of the little republics. Had Nicaragua
under Zelaya been a republic in fact
as well as in name Zelaya might have
continued at the head of its affairs in
stead Of being forced to seek refuge

TT would probably surprise many If
they should begin from now on to
B count their change, to find how many
mistakes are made and either too much
or too little change given. A man in 4
hurry the other day entered a restaurant
for lunch. and after partaking Of a fairly
good meal took up his check. il read
fifty cents. Taking out his purse, he
found he had a S. and 81 bill, and,
handing the 81 to the cashier, he received
his change and slipped it into his vest
pocket
A little further down the street be
spIed in n store window 4 pretty necktie
reduced from nifty cents to twenty-five.
Seeing that this really was a bargain,
he entered the shop, bought the tie and
gave the coin he had dropped in his vest
pocket to the man. His necktie was
wrapped up AMI handed him. but stu
he waited. Finally be said: 'I believe
I have twenty-five cents coming to me. :"
The clerk looked at his book and said :
"No. That is all right You gave me
a quarter" The man protested. but hav-
ing nothing to show that he had given
the clerk hfty cents. he had to let the
matter drop. He could not tell whether
the mistake had occurred at the res
taurant or In the store.
