Change In Legation.
II was stated recently that there is
to be a change in one Latin American
legation in Washington shortly. the le-
CATION of Costa Rica not being men,
toned and that following this expect
ed change whatever negotiations there
are to be will be expedited
The proposed Central American un-
ion was last heard from at the time
Secretary Bryan proposed his treaty
with Nicaragua, which would secure
to the United States the right, upon
payment of the sum of $3,0O0,O00, to
construct canal through that coun-
try-a right the United States desires
in order to prevent any other country
from constructing a rival to the Pan
anna canal.
: The project, however, is an older one
than that and was approved by the
United States government when James
G. Blaine was secretary Of state, at
the time he intervened when Mexico
was pressing Guatemala with vigor In
regard to boundary dispute between
those two countries.
Cabrera an Able Man.
In the last twelve or thirteen years
President Cabrera Of Guatemala has
been one Of the principal believers In
such a project He is a popular man,
generally accepted as able, and a lead
er among Central Americans. His hob
by has been education. He is said to
be a man Of strong character, who has
not permitted assassinations and who
has invoked the courts in every dis
pute in Guatemala. He is reported
as being extremely friendly toward
the United States, and as making it
a point to send an adjutant to call on
every citizen of the United States who
passes through or visits Guatemala, in
viting him to call at the palace and dis
cuss American affairs.
Guatemala City, Latin Americans in
Washington point out, was the seat of
the captains general in Central Amer
lea during the Spanish regime before
the republics threw off the yoke. 1t
has always been a capital and is said
to be city of great wealth, beauty
and dignity.
z Also Seat of Fashion.
It is said also to be seat of fashion
for Central America, and to have a elf
mate which is springlike in its charac-
ter throughout the year. The city and
its environs have population of about
100000
Latin Americans in this country re-
call that in 1883 the Central American
union was almost an accomplished
fact under the leadership of General
Barrios. Commissions exchanged Wis
its among the various governments
with the purpose of concerting a plan
to carry out the proposed union. Cen
eral Barrios was, however, accidental
ly killed, and the efforts halted for
time.

CENTRAL AMERICA
ITS NATIONS
Five Republics Considered In
AmaIgamation PIan-0nly
Costa RIGA Coy.

~ IPLOMATIC exchanges are ex-
pected to be set on foot in
IL Washington in the near future
looking to a discussion between
the state department and the FIVE Gen.
6ral American republics of the posi-
ht1ity of forming a United States of
Central America.
Advices reaching Washington from
Guatemala City, the capital of Guate-
Znala, are to the effect that Manuel Es-
1rada Cabrera, who has been president
of that country since 1898, is disposed
again to take up this subject with the
United States government, following
,retary of state, which came to moth,
: Ing.
The proposed United States of Gen.
Nfrai America would consist of Guate-
xna1a, Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. -Four of these repub,
lies are declared to be in favor Of the
, amalgamation plan, hint of objec.
ition coming only from Costa Rica.
This objection, while not definite, is
, said to be based on the belief Of
!, the residents of San Jose, the CAPT
tai OF Costa Rica, that that city should
be selected as the capital of the
proposed United States of Central
r.. America rather than Guatemala City,
the largest city in Central America,
toward which the people of the other
Central American republics lean for
the proposed capital of the Central
American United States
Great Interest Manifest.
The prospect of these diplomatic ex-
- changes has excited the deepest inter-
% est in Latin American circles in Wash
ington, and the subject constitutes the
principal topic Of daily conversation
among those whose fortunes are not
bound up in Mexican affairs. Mem
hers of the large Latin American cir
cleS in Washington who will discuss
the subject express themselves as
keenly alive to the significance of
President Cabrera being willing to
open the. subject again with the state
department, and they see in his report
ed attitude willingness to stand for
possible election to the presidency of
the proposed Central American United
States
This willingness, it is stated, is not
unacceptable to many residents of the
countries of Central America. Latin
Americans, other than Costa Ricans,
declare that an attempt to compare
Guatemala City with San Jose, in point
OF advantages as a capital of a repub,
DC, would be much like an attempt to
compare Washington with Richmond.
Owing to the prominence of Mexican
affairs In the public eye, little atten-
ton has been paid to rumors which
have lately reached Washington of the
proposal to revive the project Of a
Central American republic. Latin
Americans of the diplomatic circle

Beulah to name. Silently | point

from his coat pocket.
"All ready, Beulah!" he said.

dropped without hesitation.

P-E-N-C-I-L!
A very little girl, standing in
the darkest corner of n dingy
farmhouse kitchen, brought the
letters out decisiveIy. As she
finished she wheeled around and
faced the gathered crowd.
There was nothing unusual
about her. She wore dull,
cheap dress of blue and her hair,
hanging in a braid, was tied
with worn piece of red ribbon.
Her face was thin and sallow and
was modelled with the high cheek
bones and the thin lips of the
American Indian. 1t was per-
fectly stolid face, too, and ii
showed by no sign that she had
done anything unusual.
But the faces of all the per-
sons who gazed upon her showed
that she had done something
unusual. They Immediately piled
her with questions and began to
demand, with one accord, "how
she had done it,"

AS a child grows older it requires

Diet is of great Importance, and the
