Here are his latest words on the

ITO establish national government
it is important that the public service
be confined to persons who are honest.

progress and does not cling blindly to
the past During my administration L

all the good my predecessors realized
and to begin one other work that Is
without prejudice to the public serv-
ice / started the construction OF q
highway to Potrerillos, the first station
on the National Railroad of Honduras.
Thus the time may come when we may
go in automobiles from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
: Moreover by this work we add to
the value of the lands of the valley of
Conayagua and to that of other land
the products of which Will be sold In
the towns of the north coast that are
now supplied by importations from the
United States. When Europe shall
turn to the peace so desired by all We
shall arrange our foreign debt. because
we can then count with some assur-
ance on what to offer to creditors, and
after that arrangement we may even
be in condition to undertake in de-
cided manner the continuation OF our
interoceanic railroad.
These truly national works are not
beyond our resources. For them We
need peace. perseverance, and, above
ALL unity. That is the most we expect
and hope from our compatriots.

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-06-26

Once upon time there lived very
old and very poor peasant on the
great estate OF the king. The man
managed to make living by working
his garden and selling the vegetables.
FOR his wants were few and he did not
require much to meet them
So he lived alone, doing his work
well and treating his neighbors kind.
~ One day there came down the road
great cavalcade Of troops, and they
marched by his humble cottage he
saw 1t was the king himself passing
on his way to the place where his
army was encamped. There soldiers
IN armor and great cannon numbering
In the dust. hundreds OF men on horses.
covered with gold cloth, and dozens Of
pages and heralds riding on white
ponies and clad In suits OF silver and
green.
Last OF all came the king, a gentle
looking man, In his robes OF state. In
spite Of the splendor Of his coach the
Ipeasant saw that his ruler was of a
noble heart and knew that he wished
above all for the good Of his people.
After the king had passed there came
crowds to bring him presents. Some
took their jewels and others their gold
while many brought in their herds of
cattle. But the king told them he lad
plenty OF the earth's riches. yet he
would like to find among his people
the gift of the worlds most precious
value, But the people shook their
heads and went home. wondering what
the king meant He did not want their
wealth. but something greater-what
could II be?
That evening the king put on cloth
ing that belonged to one Of the com
mon soldiers and slipped out down
the road to see what there was to be
seen. No one knew him, and thus he
could learn a lot about the people AS
he walked along in front OF the old
peasants cottage he heard cry and
saw that little child had fallen
Then the door swung open and cut
rushed the peasant. Tenderly he pick
ed up the weeping boy, wiped away his
tears and gave him a bit of cake.
Smiling, the child went on his way
down the path.
But hardly had the child gone when
the king, who had seated himself I'M
der a tree to watch, saw woman
tottering under load OF heavy fagots
on her shoulder. The peasant also
saw her from his window and came
out.
! Let me help you with your burden"
said he, and. lifting the wood he placed
II on his back and carried 1t to the
swoman's home.
AS soon as the man was back in
his cottage the king tore his own
clothes into rags. shook dust over his
coat and made his whole appearance
that of a man in great trouble In
this plight he knocked at the peas.

but have fallen among thieves, who
have stolen my money and beaten me
up badly"
The man did not hesitate moment.
He helped the king-thinking it was
a poor soldier-to the bed, washed off
the dirt and brought him a plate of
bread and cold meat.
My friend" said the peasant to the
king, IF you will wait / will go to
the shop and buy you bottle of wine;
you look Ill and it will help you"
Have you no wine in the house,"
asked the king
Il have nothing more in the house."
replied the peasant. Il have just CIV
en- you my last bit Of food
But the king is in his camp and
expects his subjects to give him the
most valuable gift on EARTH" continued
the king Can you give him moth
ing?"
The old peasant flushed and looked
embarrassed. Il love our good king
dearly" he replied, but have nothing
which I can offer. This poor hut and
the food gave you are all have own
ed today"
Come to the royal tent this even
ing" said the king as he limped away
as II he were lame. The peasant went
back to work. still thinking that he
had helped an unfortunate soldier.
But that evening he went as told to do
to the tent, In which the king was
holding feast. He wore his shabby
gown, but royal guards met him and
escorted him to the throne, on which
sat man clothed in robe OF purple
velvet embroidered with jewels. The
peasant knelt, but the king took his
hand. AS the man looked into kings
face he saw 1t was the old soldier
whom he had helped in the morning
Rising, the king threw around the
peasant his own imperial robe, and
leading him to the banquet, he said to
the assembled guests:

life he will be the chief Of my royal
