ZELAYA OFTEN IN DANGER
Navy Surgeon Tells of Attempts on the Life of the Former Nicarag-
 uan President.

A young doctor in the United States navy was stationed not so very long ago in Nicaragua. Judging from what he says, life in that country could not have been of the quietest.
 Zelaya isn't or wasn't much of per. son to make public appearances, he says. Instead, he was very apt to stick closely to his palace and at one period almost two years elapsed before he graeed any public occasion with his presence.
 Then there was some formality in the cathedral of his capital town which he could not well avoid It appears that some of the cadet corps, made up of sons of the good Nicaraguan fam lilies, conceived the idea that this would be a good time to abolish Ze- lava. They formed a plan that cer. tain of them who would be present ip the cathedral should load their rifles with ball cartridges and on signal should pepper the president.
 This plan was not carried through very we'll. The secret got out just about at the last moment and the ball cartridges were removed from the rifles. few of the cadets in their turn discovered this fact and they re- loaded their rifles with ball cartridges. When the signal was given the devot- ed group arose and fired. The shoot ing was Central American and bad, and Zelaya's wound was one in the shoulder.
 The punishment was prompt, accord ing to the surgeons story. The 300 or so cadets of the corps were lined up on the parade ground and one of Ze- laya's trusted men simply told off every fifth boy in the ranks. Those checked off were shot.
 A story is told too of another pa triot who hired a room near the plaza in which the palace stands. The house

FARMERS, HOLD YOUR COTTON
Hold Their Product and Reap the Profit Themselves.

A dispatch from Gainsville, Tex, announces that a local cotton buyer on the 7th of December loaded 800 bales of cotton for export, selling it at $14.25. He is said to have been storing cotton as he bought it and the shipment is the largest to be loaded there at one time for many months. In that dispatch there is a lesson that should strike home to the farmers who sold him that cotton and teach them hereafter to hold their cotton them selves for the gain in price It does seem astonishing that after the off, cials of the union had urged the peo- pie to hold warning them that what has happened in this case would hap pen if they disposed of their cotton on the streets, that farmers should deliberately take the very steps that they were warned against, and sell to the very man or men who they know have been eternally for years taking their profits. It is no use for such farmers to cry out against the trusts and the cotton gamblers and the street scalpers and cuss them, for these people could not hurt the farm CT if he would only act as a sensible man and take the steps himself that are taken by the scalper, hold and sell when the market is right The farm CT is the absolute owner of the prod uct that makes so much money for every one else who handles it, and he has only to use a little common sense and backbone to defeat the schemes of his opponents and take to himself what is justly his own.
 The co-operator has stated this oft en and has urged the producers of the great staple to act sensibly and hold their cotton, and it is a relief to know that many have done so, but it does seem to be a parody on good common sense when members of the union will deliberately sell their cot ton and then let the buyer store it in the union warehouse and hold it in definitely for a rise in price actually under the nose of the union members.
 This cotton speculator knew that what the officials of the union and the co-operator had been telling the farm CTS was the truth, but he had dealt with the farmer so long that he also had discovered the fact that the farm- CT had not arrived at that stage of business intelligence to follow good advice so he went ahead, bought, held and sold in bulk 800 bales with the result that he got big profit, which the farmers gave him freely.
 There is no kick coming from the men who sold that cotton, for they | had had warning plenty, and it was with deliberation and in spite of all warnings that they went to the street scalper and said, "here is my cotton pay me what you want to and let me go.'' Who is to blame?-Co-Oper- ator

hand in marriage, and Tess. believing she had cleared her conscience by confession, took the happiness that was hers, and Tess herself had the elemental passions which doomed her to be her evil destiny's toy.
 She ended very badly-and there was another woman indicted and con- victed by an author who, thus far, hasn't shown the smallest prejudices against women in his private life, nor has ever been accused, like Watson, of regarding the whole adorable sex as being composed of any but perfect ladies.
 The forbidden theme-and that at a time when the forbidding meant something-was the whole motive of Wilkie Collins most human novel, if not, perhaps, his most complicated one His New Magdalen" took the vilest figure to be found in a great city's scourings, and exalted the true, womanly soul that lived under the hideousness of her manner of life.
 Evil Characters interest
 His readers, then and now, have always been free to admit that Collins, in that one story, at any rate, did succeed in creating a woman who could hold the interest to the end.

in him only peculiarly callous genius with an eye to business.
 Literature has seldom, if ever, made a shining success with the perfectly good woman, they say; and it is des- tined, ultimately, to match Mark Twains monument to Adam with another to Eve, in gratitude for the frailties which make her descendants good material.
 In their expert opinion, as in the observation of the critics generally, the good woman is too tame for art; and the fine frenzy of the poetic Wat. son, whether inspNed by his pro-Boer sympathies, as he mfages, or by chag- rin, over failure to aS-ieve knight hood, as ayerred by the Asquiths. went straight to the oldest and the most interesting topic literature can handle the frailties of woman.
 In the universal literary diatribe against lovely woman, Watson is so far from singing solo that his, al- though the latest, shriek of eontumely is only part of the chorus

PROVIDING FOR THE AGED
Writer in Success Magazine Thinks Pension System Is Only a Begin
 ming of Good Work.

In Germany, in Denmark, in Aus tralasia and now in England, a new policy has been adopted toward the old. The pail of fear which has hung over the hungry, naked old men for centuries is lifted, says Walter Weyl in an absorbing article in Success Magazine. To every man who has la bored in his lifetime pension is granted, and whether he contributes to this pension directly and compul- sorily, as in Germany, or indirectly through his labor as in England, he re- ceives in his old age fixed weekly stipend which is not dishonoring or rooted in charity. The pension paid by the German or English state to it's old is as much reward of labor as is the wage which is found in the weekly pay-envelope.
 Old-age pensions are not the end, but the beginning of the problem. A pension Is a good thing, but 1t is not

Willis thought but little of this tree until he began to clear the woodland in 1894, when he cut the block out and kept it until recently, when he was planning to leave the state for Wash ington. As it would not be of as much historical value there as in Kentucky, MT Elam prevailed upon him to leave it in this state.
 Senator H. H. Smith, who is au- thority on the growth of timber and is acquainted with the slow change of such lettering, says that there is no doubt but that the letters were really cut by the pioneer.

Cranberry Exports.

The government has been trying to develop a market for cranberries in Europe, but foreign consumers do not seem to take kindly to this fruit. There is a variety of cranberry raised in western Europe and sold to some extent in the foreign markets, but it has never become popular The Ameri- can cranberry is acknowledged to be a much better fruit, but so far little success has been reached in creating popular demand for it, as most of the sales are made to the restaurants and hotels which cater to American visitors
