friendly Pan.American rela-
TONS"
The letter convuised the dip.
tells the story Of an imaginary
war between tho United States
and Lntin-America.
AT ODDS
A rift has come between two
famous old republican musket-
GERS.
Razor-tongued, wise cracking
George Moss Is deeply aggrieved
ut Jim Watson, his political
crony OF many years standing.
George feels that the big, glad
handing Hooslcr has two-timed
him. II In q sud, sad story:
Swept out OF the senate by the
1892 democratic deluge, both
have been yealously casting
about for ways and means OF
wormlng their way back into tho
national arena. Recently George
figured his chance had come.
Tho now republican committee
for the congressional campaign
would need publicity man. As
an old newSpaperman and edi-
tor, George regarded himself as
tho perfect choice. lie preached
tho idea TO his old friend Jim.
For the small sum OF $4,000 a
year, and house In Washing
ton, George was ready and Will.
Ing to serve. Ever the expansive
promlsor, (major cause OF his
defeat was tho crop of unfulflicd
promises which caught up with
him) Jim readily assured George
he would take care Of tho mat
ter.
But, alas! rho Job was not
Jim's TO deliver,
When no put the suggestion
up to Senator Dan .. Hastings,
leading spirit In the republican
congressional committee, tho
pudgy little Delndarlan shifted.
Dan doesn't think 10 much of
the caustic Mr. Moses. Further
moro, he had his own choice for
the Job, Warren Wheaton, then
correspondent OF tho now de-
funct Philadelphia Public Ledg-
or.
Wheaton got the job--at the
figure George set, but without
the free house.
SO George Moses In pceved at
Jim Watson. But he'll get over
1t.
