CRBANA, Ohio, September 16-"No
more private cars for me unless better
arrangements can be made said Gov.
Woodrow Wilson today, with a tlifle of
irritation in his voice. The democratic
candidates private car. according to rail-
road rules. could not be attached to the
fast trains, and as result Gov Wilson,
who is on his way west to make a series
Of speeches, was forced to spend all day
on the train when he might have been in
Chicago early today. This fact was
brought nome to the governor as he
who passed the candidate at Harrisburg
last night.
Just think of it, said Gov. Wilson,
Senator Gore left New York hours after
we did and is in Chicago this morning,
where he could finish his business and
meet us going back"
To add to the nominees discontinue
the private car went through series of
maneuvers in the railroad yards at Co.
lumbus that We're far from pleasant. 1t
was showed around in short quick jerks,
which played havoc with the breakfast
table where the nominee was seated.
The governor made up his mind THAI
unless the railroads could attach the
private car to faster trains he would take
the ordinary reservations on sleeping
cars.
Likely to Miss Connections.
His train was two hours late when
leaving Columbus and indications were
that the nominee would have more diff
iculty in Chicago, where his itinerary
called for only an hours leeway in maxi
ing connections with the train that was
to take him to Sioux City, Iowa, tonight.
The governor spent the day reading
and debating to his stenographer. He
answered some letters and worked on
speeches that he is to deliver soon. A
crowd greeted the governor here and he
shook hands, leaning over the rail Of his
car.

Marines in Chinandega.

Rear Admiral Southerland. command
ing the United States fleet in Nicaragua,
mas reported to the Navy Department
that he has dispatched 100 marines from
the cruiser Cleveland, which has just ar
rived at Corinto. to Chinandega. good
sized city on the lines of the railroad be-
tween Corinto and Managua, which Is in
possession of the revolutionary forces.
In view of the fact that the rebels here
tofore have submitted quietly to the
Americans, wherever>the issue has been
made. it Is predicted they will offer no
armed resistance to their occupation of
what practically is their last stronghold.
1t is understood that the rebel leaders
have notified Admiral Switzerland that
they will make no further attempt to
overthrow the government by force, but
VIII await the result of the next presi-
dental election with confidence in the
success Of their candidates. The United
States probably will maintain a strong
force in Nicaragua for several months,
and It Is not Unlikely that it may be
deemed expedient for the representatives
to supervise the national elections.

In which Do You Believe?

One woman recently asked an /
other, quite seriously: Which
do you believe in, environment or
heredity?"
The other woman replied: Il
believe in myself"
Yet she was not an aggressive
cock-sure person.
Along in her early womanhood,
after the illusions of the young
girl and the hopes Of the young
wife had been stripped from her,
che raised her head one day and
took q good look at this monster,
environment.
Having retained q few shreds
| of humor that had been hers, she
said: my environment is what
nv grandfather made for him
self-this big, ugly house. n's
oil the environment I have. IRo
! out but little" (" Then suddenly
(, she made up her mind: Il viii
no longer be alone. l refuse 70.
be forsaken. III not grow old
And she added: II will sell this,
house. I never liked it. I am
drying like . plant Of its own
toxin.
She spoke her mind to her
neighbor By The next day the
villege knew, and was naturally,
Mortified. A new woman had
sprung up where formerly had
} been "poor Mrs. Smith.
Why she said. my environ
ment has been making me. From
! now on l shall make my environ.
ment." !"
Think out this woman's story.
1t is practical. Not in detail. Of
course, to every one alike. But.
according to our individual needs
and tastes mould our surround
