IRVING THE AssTgmIoUs ONE
Poet Had Forgotten Finishing Bottle
Of Port Himself.

II was while Irving was rehearsihs
"Becket" that he told n story OF Ten
nyson that has both pathetic and hn'
morous Significance. In the earlier
days. when The Cup" was In prepar'
alton. he had been to see Tennuyson
in the Isle OF Wight to discuss his
ideas for it's presentation. After din
ner the dessert and wine were set
out upon a separate table and when
they were seated the poet asked lrv'
Ing II he would like a glass of port.
Yes. like n glass Of port" replied
the actor.
Upon which Tcnnysc D. taking him
at his word, poured him out n glass
of port and all unconsciously. nm
lshcd the remainder Of the bottle him
self
Next morning the actor had TO leave
an had therefore taken leave OF his
host overnight. But he had scarcely
awakened when he saw Lord Tcnny'
son sitting at the foot OF his bed.
How are you this morning." he
inquired. anXlously.
Very we'll, indeed" was the guests
reply.
Are you?" came the response. with
just a ungc Of doubt in the tones
Of the voice. You drank lot o: port
last night"
That was Teunysou's way Of rc,

HELP BEAUTIFi

Ordway has made rapid growth dur
ing the past few years. In fact, while
the town was building up 50 rapidly.
the newcomers had difficulty In find
ing houses to live In and those who
purchased property and erected homes,
have not had the time as yct-and we
regret to say, some have not had the
inclination-to take up the matter OF
beautifyIng their premises. We all
know how much can be added to the
appearance uf "A town by trees, shrub
berry, lawns and flower beds, and II
the people OF Ordway will make a
combined effort to aid and encourage
the planting OF trees aud the sowing
OF lawns this spring, the results that
will be shown by another year will be
wonderful. Hire, your neighbor TO
plow up that front yard, SOW IT to blue
grass, alfalfa or anything grecn-it
will look better than sagcDrush aud
thistles-plant "A few stumps, row Of
sweet peas and few beds Of old
fashioned flowers and see how much
enjoyment you get out OF them. The
experience Of our agricultural editor
in raising lawn Of sandburs and
thistles- which he honestly believed
to be bluegrass, while IL was coming
up-last year, need not discourage
those who have never tried the game.
II you don't succeed the first time,
pay some fellow to do IL for you.

always well to bear in mind that

 Mexico City, Dec. 2s.-Jose Santos Zelaya, former president of Nicara- gua arrived in Mexico City today and was received unofficially by the gov ernment- A large delegation of Cen, and he was cheered when he reached here in a special car attached to one of the regular trains.
 Zalay was not greeted by Presi- the President today but 1t is expected he will confer with Diaz soon over the Central American situation It is believed the conference will have considerable to do with the instruc- tions to be given De La Barra who leaves soon for Washington
 It is openly admitted in diplomatic circles now that the mission of Special Ambassador Creel in Washington has failed and De La Barre will endeavor to secure cooperation in a new plan- 1t is generally believed here Zelaya will be held virtually a prisoner and should he leave Mexico he will be watched to prevent his returning to Nicaragua.
 It is rumored that the plot against Zelaya's life has been discovered and the police are using every precaution to prevent him meeting the fate of General Barrilla who was murdered here two years ago at the instigation of Cabrera. of Guatemala
 Just what attitude the government takes toward Zelaya's Nicaraguan position cannot be determined but it is known, however, that Zelaya con siders himself still president. although he resigned. It is thought he will soon endeavor to escape and resume his presidency.

 Although the precise object of Senor Creel's mission still remains cally certain that his visit was due to be failure before he left Mexico. Secretary Knox has pursued his own course apparently unmodihed by any suggestions whatsoever
