ARGENTINE PRESIDENT
FLOUTS CONGRESS-

BUENoS AIRES, Jan. 20 By
Mail-Thru Minister OF the Interior
Gobez, President Irigoyen today ser-
we'd notice on congress that he pro
poses to lead as transformations a
private life as he likes even if he is
chief magistrate.
Criticism Of some Of his personal
economies developed in connection
with the budget discussion in the
chamber Of deputies. Although the
president has assigned all his sal
AIRY to charity, the critics expressed
the opinion that 80 rich a man ought
as president, to assume somewhat
more state, considering the official
position he occupies.
President Irigoyen," said Gomez,
assumed his great responsibilities
at the call of the people, but as pres
ident, he does not intend to abandon
his simple manner of living as
private citizen"
The president still refuses to live
in the Casa Rosada, or Argentine
White house, which he has turned
into suites of government offices.
but makes his home in his own very
modest residence with his daughter,
only two or three servants and prnc-
tically no company.

South America Does

BUENoS AIRES, Feb. 10. 1t

American notes to Germany as An
endorsement of President Wilson's
action, according to Jorge Mitre, ed
tor OF The Lanacion.
Mitre explained, Argentine is not
enthusiastic over Americas stand.
Other republics have shown the
same feeling more OF less, with the
exception of Brazil. Brazil objects
TO the blockade on account Of her
overseas grain and coffee trade.

war preparations where they left
off 1t would mean bankruptcy and
anarchy for more than one nation to
impose the old burden upon the new.
The first presumption from Mr..
Wilson is a peace without victory
This portion of his address is vague
and inconclusive even for him. We
cannot tell what is behind it all. Mr..
Wilson may be in possession of pri-
vate information from the capitals
of Europe, giving him an idea of
what the peace terms will be, but
without a key his language is hard
to interpret.
In what manner is nonvictorious
peace to be brought about Thru
House and other neutrals? The
president states that he does not
mean actual American interference
in the peace terms. He takes it for
granted that "mere terms of peace
will not satisfy the belligerents
themselves" and that ''major
force" to be made up of the nations
not at war will be welcomed to make
peace certain for the future.
If central powers are successful
in their quest in the eastern war
field and are not defeated on the
western front, they are likely to
make their own terms. If the en-
tente allies win on land or sea-and
the sea is likely to be the final ar
bitter in this as in most other wars
they will make terms to enforce
peace for good many years to
come.
Then what is TO become of the in
ternational Monroe Doctrine, so
Realistically presented in the most
recent document from the White
House? 1t looks as if it would have
to wait a more canvenient season.
By that time new administration
may be in office and the European
nations may be too busy in indus
trial warfare to think much of Mr..
Wilson'S panacea. Rocky Noun

PREPARE:
FOR WAR
Administration Anxious to
Keep Martial Spirit Of
Nation Alive


WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - The
administration fearing "state of
war; with Germany will ultimately
come, is anxious to keep alive the
r,artial spirit in the country. Effort
is being made to guard against an
undue sense of security. However
there is no manifest move to raise
N army for actual war altho there
is some progress toward naval and
economic preparedness. This epito-
mizes the governments position to-
day.
A week after the diplomatic break
between America and Germany finds
the neutral shipping ordinarily ply
ing in the Atlantic, remaining at
home. With the terrific possibilities
ahead, the government is anxious
lest the peace propaganda and the
absence of war will hull the nation
into unjustifiable calm.
Insofar as an actual declaration Of
war is concerned it will he upon Ger
many's responsibility. President
Wilson is determined to follow the
literal wording of the speech he
made before congress and ask only
for a means of protecting American
seamen and American lives.

MAJORITY OF US ARE B0RES
Many People Give Preference to Dis cussion of Own Affairs Rather
 Than to Other Fellows.

The Irish World gives the first test of a bore, presumably for readers to try on themselves in these words:
 Do you monopoli-e the conversation wherever you go with breathless ac- counts of your own affairs?
 If let alone long enough the major ity of us do. Our own affairs are so much more interesting than the other persons. It takes some wisdom and considerable culture to subordinate the self.
 Under this definition, the baby Is sometimes a bore, but we forgive him for we know that he has neither the wisdom nor the cullre to set his lit tie self to one side. It should not be expected of him.
 But there is about the baby none or the subtle deceitfulness of the old, oracticed bore who deftly turns the conversation to his own exploits and affairs. Baby simply takes of the muffler from his personal self. The entire households attention turns at once to his affairs. He monopolizes the conversation with his breathless ac- count of his hunger or of his cOnnec- tion with the open safety pin-and that is all there is to it.
 l The growing child frankly finds him. self the most interesting person in the world, and we forgive him to some ex- tent and attempt to show him that he must conceal his personal liking for himself. Some of us may recall the story of the little boy who had been delighted listener while his mother Ga real bore) told the neighbors of his cute little manners and ways. When she branched off to some other sub- ject, the little boy listened while in manifest uneasiness till the conversa- ton Jagged the merest tritle. Then he broke in with his perfectly natural request:

LAUGHED TO SEE GOLD TEETH
Tartars Indulged in Peculiar Antics to Induce Artist to Display His
 Decorated Grinders.

The artist who accompanied George Kennan through Russia tells an anus ing story about an encounter with party of tourists, who seemed very curious about the artists pictures. As the TartarS were armed to the teeth. the artist thought it best to be amia- ble and smiled broad and propitiatory smile upon the party. WhereupOn the entire party smiled broadly in return and showed great interest in him. He smiled again, more broadly still 1; whereupon the TartarS came around ln front of him and began to go through the most extraordinary antics, laugh ing still.
 The artist gathered somehow that he was expected to laugh, too. and proceeded to .gratify their evident wish. The more he laughed the more they laughed, and several big Tartars came around in front of him and lay down on the ground, rolling and tum- bling. The artist laughed until his jaws almost cracked. The thing final ly became a little alarming, and call ing his factotum and interpreter, the artist bade him find out of the head man of the Tartar party what these extraordinary antics were all about.
 His excellency," said the Tartar in explanation, smiled upon us, anc showed us something which we never saw before-teeth made partly of gold And as the men of my tribe saw tha his golden teeth were only to be seer when he laughed, they took all pos sible ways to make him laugh. ant when they rolled on the ground Defor' him, it was only the better to see Int his mouth and behold the goldeI teeth"

Capturing GorIIlaa

n is said that no gorilla has ever been captured alive after he Is fuE grown. Gorillas fear nothing. Even when mortally wounded they show an agility, strength and ferocity which Is astonishing. A traveller stated that It would take 15O men to hold down gorilla with any degree of safety. On the other hand, all other apes are easy to capture. The usual method Is for a trapper to seat himself where he IS certain to be observed by these crea- lures and pretend to drink from bot tie of crude spirits. When he Is sure that he has been observed, he leaves the bottle and goes away. The mo- ment his back is turned the monkeys rush to appease their curiosity con corning the contents of the bottle They like the taste of the spirits ana quarrel among themselves for it till the bottle has been emptied.

Our Other Selves.

It means that II one has only little free time at his disposal, he must use that time for the refreshment of his hidden selves, says S. M. Brothers in the Atlantic. If he cannot have a sabbath rest of twenty four hours, he must learn to sanctify little sabbatAs, 1t may be of ten min utes' length. In them he shall do no manner of work.

In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when strength is declining the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritability, and unless corrected, leads straight to breakdown.
