FEMININ E II NOR

THE disposition to be funny
j is said to have ruined the
aspirations of more than one
political dignitary in recent his
tory. A statesman cannot afford
to be cut-up, and the strongest
tendency observed in an ordi-
narily cheerful looking man who
attains high Office is a careful
meditation of the twinkle in his
eye.
This is the one light that the
great and the near-great can put
under a bushel with advantage.
Laughter. it would appear, is not
for the gods, nor for the god
desses. Women, through an un-
written dictum which it might
be interesting to trace through
musty tones and aisles of
grouchy marble ladies of the an
tique, are forbidden the divine
right to be merry, although the
privilege of tears has been freely
accorded them ever since Eve got
her first bullying from Adam
after the little whirl with the
serpent.
There is no Queen Cole men
toned in the song, and if the
good lady existed she was prob
ably crying her eyes out in some
other part of the palace because
of the pronounced pipe and bowl
proclivities of her lord. And
there were other jolly gentlemen
that we read OF in history, En-
perors and beggars, knaves and
saints; but the laughter of no
famous girl rings through the
ages. The bacchantes were gay
as they danced and sang and
wreathed beautiful rose garlands
about their friends; but not one
of them apparently did anything
more remarkable than to stub
her toe on the stony classic sward.

Former President of Nicaragua De- clares That 400 Americans Took Part in Recent Battle at Rama-ES poets Vindicatlon.

The City of Mexico, Dec. 31.-"Mr, Knox Is not my judge. I am answer able only to my government"
 Jose Santos Zelaya, who arrived here from Calina Cruz, thus replied to question as to what attitude he would assume should Secretary Knox seek to extradite him from this coun- try Zelaya refused to discuss such a probability. but strongly intimated that the secretary of state would not have the right to request his presence in the United States
 T have no feeling against the Amer ican people at large, nor the govern ment," he said. Secretary Knox has been systematically misinformed and public opinion in the United States has been prepared against me, but the real facts must become known in time, and 1t is to time I trust for my vindication.
 Do you know that there were 400 Americans fghting with the insurgents at the recent battle of Rama? Do you know at the battle of Colorado June tion, on November 1, the bodies of 20 American marines were picked up on the field by our forces-all dead, and all from the American gunboats anchored in the river to protect Amer ican interests? The official explana- ton given me was that these men were deserters.
 Zelaya says he never signed an or der for the death of Cannon and Groce. He made the assertion, but added that 1t was true he refused to interfere with the carrying out of the sentence of the courtmartial.
 These men were contracted for in Guatemala to assist the reyolution- ists." Zelaya said. Cannon only re- gently had been set at liberay in Hon. duras upon his promise made before the secretary of the American legation in Tegucigalpa and the American con. sul, to leave Central America forever. Both officials acted as his sponsors. The men were engaged at the time of their capture in charting the country and laying mines in the rivers for the destruction of the troop ships of the government. They also acted as spies. They were tried by court-martial, ac. cording to law, and found guilty. ap. proved the findings absolutely in the interests of military discipline.
