WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 90
Adverse criticism of the state de-
pa-t rents over the Central Ameri-
can policy during the closing hours
was an occurrence at the last ses-
sion of the senate, with intimations
that the American army would be
sent to Nicaragua soon after con-
gress adjourned is believed by some
officials here as the reason which ac-
tuated President Taft last night in
/ revoking an order to send the tenth
infantry from the canal zone to Nj
caragua.
All authorities on international
law in state, war and navy depart
ments are practically agreed that
there is no technical difference be-.
tween khaki clad soldiers and ma
rines or blue jackets when employed
as force Of this kind in foreign
countries. But there is public sen.
timent which invariably associates
the landing of soldiers with actual
warfare and the permancy Of pur-
pose.
Minister Gabrielle of Nicaragua
received the following telegram from
Governor Masis, department Of Ri.
vas, Nicaragua:
"Granda is being sacked; prison,
ers kept without food In order to
force the payment of huge sums of
money. Assassinations and sacking
are going on every where. Urge the
United States to save our country

FORT COLLINS, Aug. 29.-Re-
fusing to take a dare in which his
young companions defied him to
climb an electric light pole, carrying
high voltage transmission line OF
the Northern Colorado Power COM
pany, ten-year-old Charles Leding-
ham of Iverness ranch, had very
narrow escape from death late yes
terday afternoon when he climbed
to the top of pole and came in con-
tact with wire carrying 1900 volts.
Young Ledingham when he reached
the top of the pole threw his left arm
over the wire and took hold of tho
metal support for the cross arm, to
rest before returning to the gound
His taking hold Of the metal COM
rleted the circuit and the $500 volts
passed through his arm, the wire
burning to the bone and the arm and
metal support burning through his
fingers.
Had the connection been such that
the current would have passed
through his body he would have been
killed. His young companions were
powerless to help and finally he re-
leased the arm and came to the
ground with no assistance. He was
brought to town and given medical
attention. Hs will recover.

1t has become quite common
for towns to set certain days for
cleaning up the streets, alleys,
and private back yards. In ad-
dition to the civic fervor stimu-
lated by concert of action, work
of hauling can be done cheaper
when teamsters can be assured
of a days work, instead of his
having to hitch up to haul away
half a load for some individual.
Wonder when the clean up fever
will break out here.

Large bags Of wool seen on our
streets indicate that the sheep
have taken off their winter cloth
ing, and are sending it to the
laundry. Speaking Of sheep,
the question of raising more of
them is engaging the attention of
our agricultural writers to a
greater extent than formerly.
Sheep are the poor mans friend,
but the loss on account of dogs
makes it impossible to stock GER
tain pastures. The loss does not
stop at the ones killed; ewes oft
en- lose their lambs, either
through fright, or from physical
injury, and the flock soon deteri-
crates.

DO YOU WANT TO LIVE LONG?

DR.. Jacques Bertillon of Paris has
has come to the conclusion that "law-
yers and university professors follow
the healthiest occupations among all
those engaged in the liberal profess
sions."
For instance, among European
lawyers, despite the fact that they are
subject to diabetes, liver complaint
and alcoholism, they nevertheless
show remarkable longevity.
Lawyers clerks, on the other
hand, frequently succumb to tuber-
culosis. 1t is not easy to assign q
definite cause for this, but the in
ference is that the nature of their
work entails close confinement and
constant STOPPING over dusty papers.

We cannot recall the time when
the newspapers contained as
many advertisements for farm
laborers as now. We have been
assured by farmers in the Cum
berland Valley, that they would
welcome help from larger cities
if they could feel sure that the
applicants who sometimes call
for work could be trusted. In
many instances the city man is
outlof work on account of some
unworthiness, and farmers who
accepted his offer to hire with
them have been bitten.
