THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS, MONDAY, JANUARY 3, 1910. !) fARE YOU ; (l :AUVE,YET? -lj p lr.,... JSiO- Vi JUST 1 if, 1 FOOLISH QUESTIOMS-N&iatoo IN ZELAYA LAND American Woman Describes Experiences While Travel ing in Nicaragua. EXCITING TIME AT LEON Party of Sympathizers With This Country Resented Hissing at htars ana Stripes. Although South and Central Ameri can revolutions have long been the butt of many a conventional North American Joke, the situation of United States citizens In Nicaragua during the present civil war there U anything but a jocose matter, according to the experienca-of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Barris of -Lynn, Mass. Mr. and Mrs. Barris left Nicaragua In September, Just ns the present revo lution, which has since, reunited in the resignation of PresiJUaj sse Saiftos Zelaya and the placing of two hostile armies, one Zelayan and the other commanded by his former governor, John J. Estrada, In the field, was be ginning to break. "On our first trip we left Boston in November, 19C7, Bailed to Costa Rica, which is next to Nicaragua, and trav eled part of the time by rail and part of the way on mules over a wild moun tain trail." said Mrs. Barris. "The mountains were high and the trails of the roughest sort. To me the perilous part of the ride was when we came to a chasm some 2,000 feet deep with a wire pulley stretched across it and large baskets suspended from the pul ley, when it was explained that to get across it was necessary to sit in the basket and be hauled over on the pulley. A Delightful Country. "Nicaragua is one of the most de lightful of countries. The climate is charming. The moonlight of the even ing la something a tourist can oiever forget. In the cities there are many handsome buildings, and much atten tion is given to art. The natives are kind and generous, and the well to do families, most of whom have traveled much and are educated abroad, are very hospitable. 'Leon, our final destination, has 40, 000 inhabitants and is very picturesque with its old churches and its pretty little houses and courtyards filled with tropical plants. The place was un spoiled by tourists, and an American woman was a great curiosity. When ever one passed through the streets people rushed out of doors to see her. "This visit in Leon was exciting, but not pleasant. One night we were at tending a theater. One of the per formers sang a piece in which she waved the flags of various nations. Always before this the appearance f the stars and stripes had been a sign for cheering, but this night it was hissed. It made my blood boil. The next night I made up a theater party of all the American sympathizers I could bring together. The owner of the theater had planned to cancel the flag waving, as he said it made too much excitement, but we persuaded him to continue it for this one even ing. When the American flag was waved we stood np and gave a shout which must have sounded like a foot ball cheer. If there were any hisses th(?y were loo feeble to " make them selves heard."' Picturesque Ride on Mules. In describing a ride of 120 mile's on muleback from the mountain town of Madagalpa during her first visit to Leon she says: "That ride from Leon to Madagalpa was the most picturesque and in many ways the most exciting of the trip. It was a five djjys' climb through moun tain wilderness to this quaint little town, which is several thousand feet above sea level. We had to have an Indian guide, and it was so hot that we could travel only at night. "There was not much enchantment about the houses where we stopped along the route, however. These were Indian huts made cf straw and grass and mud. We slopt in hammocks, and it was necessary to have the hammocks swung Irish because the pigs of that vicinity are numerous and also friend ly, and if a hammock happens to bo lowt enough they insist on scratching their backs against the sleeper. We carried some of our own provisions with us, but much of the time had to eat the native dishes, the principal one being rice fried in grease, with cold water poured over it. I ate this, but never couid persuade myself to try tortillas, the native bread. Menaced by Robbers. "Many travelers are held up and rob bed along this route. On our first night out we thought we were going to be. We were at an inn when several rough looking men rode up armed to the teeth. They had good horses and no baggage. You do not need a detec tive to tell you that men who ride swift steeds and don't carry luggage on the Madagalpnn trail are freeboot ers. They watched us continually un til we left the inn. ' "We feared t!;ey would follow us and expected to be held up on the trail. Our Indian guide evidently thought so too. He was clearly frightened and hurried us along at such a pace that we. became lost and wandered about nearly all night before we got back to the trail. Perhaps that circumstance saved us from the robbers, for we saw no more of them."

A woman walked up to the counter of a fashionable hotel and asked for a package of valuables which waa In tho safe. "If I had not wanted one particular thing I suppose I should have left tba package where it was for another three years," she said to the clerk. "Yes," said the clerk in answer to a question after the woman left, "that packet had really been in our safe for three years. Why, we have all sorts of valuable papers, jewelry and even money that are intrusted to our keep ing for years at a time. People seem to prefer a hotel safe to a safety de posit vault. One reason perhaps is that it costs nothing. Another is that the standard of hotel clerks baa improved. "It is astonishing the amount of Jew elry that people keep in hotel safes. Of course the owners have originally stop ped In the hotel, but they go away, leaving their valuables, and 1 have known such persons to be gone as much as two years and never make an Inquiry about their property in that time. "To show you how much confidence people have in hotels and their em ployees I might mention that the other day a man came in here and put four $1,000 bills In an envelope, wrote hia name on the latter and asked me to put it in the safe. Not long ago an other man actually did the same thing with seven ?10.000 bills." The clerks of several other hotels talked in a similr.r strain without any outside suggestion. "I'll bet I have handled more than a million dollars' worth of Jewelry to day," said one. "Look here," and be opened the safe and piled six or eight big jewelry cases on the counter, but hurriedly put them back. "In one of those I know there is over $200,000 worth, and what I showed you was only a few of what the safe contains." New York Sun. A RESTRAINING HAND. Its Action Followed by a Voice That Warned. Tatrick II. McCarren once told me of a funny incident that happened in Rome," said a Brooklyn lawyer. "Mc Carren said that on his first visit to Rome, after he had seen the Coliseum and the Forum, he visited the Ara Coeli church, on the left of the Capl toline hill. He climbed the grand btairway leading to the church, the finest open air stairway in the world. He pushed back the heavy leather cur tain, and, entering, he found a service in progress. So he put his hat on the marble floor at bis side and took a seat. "After tun minutes or so he decided he would go and reached down for his hat. But a restraining hand was laid on his, and he desisted. He knew, of course, that some churches don't like people to leave in the midst of a serv ice. "Ten or fifteen minutes more passed. The service stiil continued. Senator McCarren got impatient and again reached for his hat. But again the un seen hand restrained him from the rear. "A little later, however, the senator quite lost patience. This was, he told himself, an important service, of course. Nevertheless he did not pro pose to miss his luncheon, and it would harm no one if he slipped out quietly. "So a third time he reached for his hat. and the Invisible hand a third time detained him. ne persevered, however. The silent hand pushed, and his silent hand pushed against it Hut just as he was conquering in the strug gle a voice said in good American: "Cheese it, boss; that's my hat you're taking.' "Exchange. Could Prove It. A few days ago an alderman was glancing over the register at one of the local hotels to see if a friend of bis was registered there. Near him stood a man who was holding on to the desk for dear life in a semisuccess ful attempt to maintain his balance. "I s-s'pose you think I'm drunk?" said tho stranger, looking belligerently at the alderman. "Xo; not in the least," replied the alderman, anxious to avoid the possi bility of a row. , , "Well, you'd know I was If I let go this desk," answered the man. New ark Star.
