Them-The Situation.

The other day a ruddy-faced, clear
eyed man was discovered at the cor
ner Of Twenty-third street and Broad
way, carrying the banner of a cheap
restaurant, according to New York
letter to the Cincinnati Times-Star.
There was nothing of the downtrodden
and forlorn about him. He watched
the panorama which unfolded before
him with wide eyes, interested in ev-
cry detail as child might be in new
toy.
Il can get you better job than
this" said a man who was interested
in him, at first sight. Il can find you
a place where you can make $12 a
week, and the work is not hard"
Il don't want it," said the old man,
promptly. I'm having the best time
OF my life right now"
He had been a farmer all his life
For years he had struggled with a
hillside farm in Vermont. His one
recreation was to read a city paper.
By and by his four sons grew up, left
the farm, and have been modestly sue
cessful.

city" said he. "My boys send me SIS a

Jobs of this sort to keep me. And,
say! I'm living for the first time in
my life! I'm enjoying myself, tell
you. There's man living down at
the lodging house where l get 25-
cent room every night who used to be
bank burglar. and he tells me the
stories of his life. And there's fell
low who says he's count-he talks
like one, aayhow-and there's a major
in the English army, and sea captain
and professor who got fired by his
university-they say for cheating at
cards-and a man they say used to be
a minister and killed man. Every
night fellows like that come in and
there's always something happening.
It's exciting-and l spent all my life
hard at work on hill farm. I'm TWEEN

A city missionary heard the story

been pretty thoroughly thrashed out by

1t has been commonly stated that TO
occupy Mexico IT would be necessary to
raise an army OF 100000 men. This would
involve a call for volunteers by the Pres
ident, and would contemplate very
thorough occupation OF the country, with
American garrisons everywhere.
While this is the most discussed plan.

the United States can do all that is nee
