Worth the fcxpense.
The story that Sir John Fisher of
the British admiralty tells with the
greatest enjoyment and he tells many ,
and all with zest Is of an old boatswain -
swain on his flagship who fell into a
little money and retired. Ono day
the admiral visited him at his coun
try box , to' ' find the old sailor pos
sessed of an apparently useless man
servant.
"What do you want with him ? "
asked Fisher.
"H'every morning , " explained the
\
old sailor , " 'e comes to me "ammock
and tells mo to roll h'out. 'Tho h'ad
miral wants to see you , ' 'e says to me.
H'and I says to 'im , 'Tell the h'admlral
to go to 'ell , ' says Hi. "
Misery.
The neighbor's dog sits out on the
front lawn and howls dismally. The
man in the window looks out and
yells : "Sh-li-h , you beast ! " The dog
continues to hbwl. The man again
comes to the window and this time
hurls a shoe at the dog. Still the
animal howls. Another shoo follows.
The next day the man's wife goes
around in her stocking feet because
she can't find her shoes. The man
hasn't the price of another pair of
shoes for her , and the next night the
dog howls louder than ever.

TO BE ON SAFE
NO HASTY ACTION AT WASHING
TON IN NICARAGUA CASE.
BUSY LOOKING UP THE RECORDS
Efforts to Learn Whether They Were
Members of the Revolutlonoary
Army or Acting on Their
Own Responsibility.
Washington The delay on the part
of the United States in taking action
with respect to the killing by order
of President Zelaya of Nicaragua , of
.he two Americans , Groce and Cannon ,
t developed Tuesday , Is occasioned
> y the Inability of the government up
o this time to ilx the exact status In
N'lcaragua of the slain men. It was
explained that every effort was being
nade thrbugh government agencies to
determine whether these men were In
fact members of the revolutionary
army , or whether they were acting on
.heir own responsibility at the time
they were captured. If It ran be proven
that they were partly responsible for
the planting of mines for the purpose
of blowing up troop ships of the Nlca-
nguan government , and were acting
n this matter on their own responsi
bility their status would bo very differ
ent from what It would be were they
acting as a part of the revolutionary
forces.
It Is this point that the state depart
ment Is trying to clear up before it
takes any aggressive action against
Zelaya. The American vice consul at
Managua , Henry Caldera , has been in
structed to obtain all possible Informa
tion on this subject , and It Is believed
that other agencies have also been
employed for thq same purpose , and
until this Information Is received it Is
doubtful that the United States will
take any steps looking to the chastise
ment of Zelaya beyond putting Itself In
a position to act promptly should occa
sion arise.
It Is believed that plans for the
concentration of warships and marines
on the NIcaraguan coast will continue
and It may be that a show of force
will have a marked effect In stimulat
ing the energies and hopes of the revo
lutionists and result In large acces
sions to their army from the disaffect
ed portions of the country now held
by Zelaya's army.
The navy department Is prepared
for any eventuality In Nicaragua.
Overtime work has resulted in putting
the troop ship Prairie , now at the
Philadelphia navy yard , in condition to
sail at any moment after Thursday of
this week with 400 marines who are
immediately available for transporta
tion to Nicaragua. If necessary thio
number can be increased within a few
hours' notice to 700 or even 800.
It Is known that the naval olllcers
are hourly in expectation of receiving
orders to direct the Prairie to sail and
they would not be In the least sur
prised If other war ships were ordered
to the Nicaragua const.
Not Much Hope Left.
Cherry , 111. Hope that there might
still be alive some of the ISO men
known to be entombed in the St. Paul
coal mine was practically abandonee
Tuesday.
An exporation Into what is known as
the second vein , where it was thought
probable many miners/had barricaded
themselves and had managed to exlsl
on onts and corn provided for the
mules , showed that great portions of
the tunnels had collapsed. It is be
llev'ed many men were burled under
the debris , and If the obstruction is
not soon cleared away at least 100
bodies may never be dug up. Fire Is
still raging in this tunnel , and the
back portions where the imprisoned
miners could have found a retreat
were said to be full of the fatal black
damp.
"What little hope wo had was given
up when we penetrated to what is
called the over-cast , " said \V. W. Tay
lor , general manager of the mine. "In
that place pure air would have been
found if It could have been found any
where , and the miners , aware of It ,
would have retreated there. When we
got into that place we found it empty
both of bodies or of live men. We lis
tened In vain to detect a signal or any
other sign of life. "

Van Valkenburg is the widow of v

Science Hall for Negroes ,
Washington. Within the llortvil
university grounds Tuesday there was
laid the corner stone for the new sci

cost of $90.000 , the amount appropri
ated by congress. The occasion was
significant In that this will bo the first
Institution intended for the advanced
training In physics , chemistry and biology

a college for colored people. It will
be devoted to the instruction of the

THANKSGIVING DAY
Canada's Day of Thank's a Month Ear
lier Than In tl\e United States.
For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side of the line , our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving a month or more earlier
than \ye do. It may bo that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient , and
Rounded n note of warning , or it maybe
bo that the "frost on the pumpkin" de
clared Itself. But whatever the reason ,
their Thanksgiving day Is past. It may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than wo do
were pushing themselves so hard and
so fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event. They
have had reasons , and good ones , too ,
for giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded in
abundance , and here , by the way , It is
not uninteresting to the friends of
the millions of Americans who have
made their homo In Canada during the
past few years to know that they have
participated most generously In the
"cutting of the melon. " Probably the
western portion of Canada , comprising
the provinces of Manitoba , Saskatche
wan and Alberta , have the greatest
reason of any of the provinces to ex
press in the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results In the
line of production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence
This year has surpassed all others in
so far as the total increase In the coun <
try's wealth Is concerned. There is no
question that Providence was cspe
clally generous. The' ' weather condl
tlons were perfect , and during the
ripening and harvesting period , then ?
was nothing to interfere. And now it
was well It was so , for with a demand
for labor that could not be supplied
there was the greatest danger , bu
with suitable weather the garnering o
the grain has been successfully accom
plished. There have been low gen
eral averages , but these are account
ed for by the fact that farmers were
Indifferent , relying altogether upon
what a good soil would do. There
will be no more low averages though
for this year has shown what good
careful farming will do. It will pro
duce 130 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres , and It will pro
duce a splendid lot of oats , yielding
anywhere from CO to 100 bushels pe :
acre. This on land that has cost bu
trorn ? 10 to ? 15 per acre many farm
ers have realized sufficient from thl
year's crop to pay the entire cost of
their farms. The Toronto Globe says :
"The whole population of "tho West
rejoices In the bounty of Providence ,
and sends out a message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with Industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep
tion of the source from which the
blessings have flown , and the good
feeling Is combined with a spirit of
thankfulness for the privilege of living
in so fruitful a land. The misfortunes
of the past are practically forgotten ,
because there Is great cause to con
template with satisfaction the com
forts of the present. Thanksgiving
should be a season of unusual en
thusiasm. "
