theless, < f the opinion that a commer-
cial alliance will result from the recent
international complications. The re-
sult cannot fail to be of great benefit to
citizens of the United States engaged in
competing for control of the Central
American markets. The business
transaction between the live republics
of Central America and the outside
world is of considerable volume, and
covers every branch of industry. The
United States and Great Britain have
heretofore been close rivals for a divi-
sion of this trade, with Germany not
a bad third. A boycott by Central
America against Great ltritain means
an increase of something like $1.">,000,-
000 per year in the business transacted
between citizens of the I'nited States
anil the Central American republics at
the present time, with the prospects of
its being steadily and materially aug-
mented.
A<lin. Meade'* Retirement.
Washington. May 11.-Probably the
most interesting news of the day
is the coming retirement of Hear
Admiral Meade of the navy. He has
just been detached from the command
of the North Atlantic squadron at his
own request and has now applied for
retirement next month. Adra. Meade's
retirement is wholly voluntary and
comes to him under that clause of the
naval law which permits retirement
after forty years of service. It is
true that his health has for sev-
eral years been unsatisfactory, the
wounds which he received dur-
ing the civil war giving him a
great deal of trouble, but his relations
to the navy department during his
I command of the squadron of less than
a year's duration, have been very un-
pleasant, and arc no doubt the pre-
eminent causes of his voluntary retire-
ment. To these wounds his friends
attribute his great excitability and
nervousness, which have kept him con-
tinually in hot water with the navy
department since he was placed in com-
mand of the home fleet last August, a
month before lie was promote I to the
highest naval mnk

over the group,

ham. llcr given name was Jane.
There isn't the slightest doubt in my
mind that 1 am the son of Walter and
Jane Stout."
"Well, what is the poiut?" asked one.
"Just this, my dear sir—am I George
William Stout or somebody else'.'"'
"Don't you know who you are?"
"I am no more certain of my legal
identity than any of you. That's what
has been bothering me for the last five
or six months, and the question is not
settled yet. My friends say I am George
William Stout. A certain law yer says
I may or may not be. In other words,
in order to come into possession of a
few hundred dollars left by an aunt
in Eugland, I have been trying to
prove my identity. I thought it a big
joke when 1 started out. but it wasn't
a week before I discovered that 1 had a
tough job on hand."
"It ought to be dead easy," remarked
the little man with the redft^cktie.

were not church members, I was not

married in Iowa, and in a proper and
legal way, but had lost the marriage
certificate, like hundreds of others, and
only because they had lived together
as man and wife was the law satisfied
that they bore that relation to each
other. Right here and now I'll bet live
to one that none of your parents have
a document to prove marriage."
There was a general hitching about
on chairs, but no one seemed desirous
of pursuing the matter further
"My father left two brothers and my
mother one brother and two sisters,"
said the victim, "and, of course, one
and all declared that I was George
William Stout, only son of Walter and
Jane Stout. To swear to it was a dif-
ferent matter, however. It so hap-
pened that none of them saw me till 1
was six months old. How did they
know but I was a foundling who hail
been adopted? They couldn't be sure
of inc. I went to men w ho had been
boys with me, but when asked to

heard me called stout, but she kuew

you straight, that though plenty of
people aro ready to say that my name
is so and so, not a single one will swear
to it out and out. It s simply to the
best of their knowledge aud belief, and
that is founded on hearsay.**
The victim paused, as if expecting
somebody to say sotuethiug. but as all
seemed occupied in trying to figure it
out he heaved u sigh, and went on:
There's another very funny thing
about it W hen 1 was asked how many
people 1 knew I put the number at

them, how many names do you sup-
pose 1 jotted down? To save my neck
1 could not go over and the list in-
cluded women us well as men. It
wasn't how many people I had spoken
with and could remember their names,
but how many 1 could call friends and
acquaintances. I had been traveling
about and doing business for years,
and thought I ha I thousands of ac-
quaintances, but that list knocked me
out. I have lived in Toledo upward of
twenty years, and yet I could uame
only <>o people there whom I knew even
passably well. Some' of you may be
able to make a list of ?00 speakiug ac-
quaintances, but I doubt it. Indeed,

self?" queried the little man with red
necktie, who seemed deeply interested.
"1 haven't done it yet. and have

ant who lived in our family for ten

insisted that the genuine George Wil-

Among fhe Soudanese Mo iml* \re Often
1 "e l limte.nl of Word*.
The Soudanese tribes have a curious
w ay of expressing af.irniution and de-
nial. Sometimes, in replying to ques-
tions, they answ er with sounds, instead
of words. If they wish to give an af-
firmative. they will emit a sort of
"click," the kind of noise that tells a
horse to move on.
Should the subject be deemed of no
great importance, this would be done
| simply und at once, but if they become
excited, or wish to make their assur-
ance emphatic, a shower of "clicks"
will fall iu loud and rapid succession,
reminding one, as mentioned before, of
the manner of speaking to a horse, or,
as it becomes sometimes rather guttur-
al. of something between that and call-
ing chickens.
A negative is expressed by the sort of
noise sometimes made when vexation
or annoyance is indicated; it is their
natural <«r very frequent manner of
savin r "no." The tongue is placed
against the upper part of the mouth,
just behind the front teeth, ami swift-
ly withdrawn. when, if ii can be spelt
at all, a sort of "tch" is produced.
This mode of conveying nnirmation
and denial certainly seems less trouble-
some than words, aud recommends it-
self to the notice of the inhabitants of
civilized countries, where verbosity is
increasing at such an alarming pace.

When wa pass a chicken coop in front
of a grocery store und hear a rooster
crow, in spite of the fact that he is as
miserable and unfortunate as a rooster
can well be, wo wonder what lie is
crowing about. Some men are the
same way about bragging; it is in them

any occasion for it or not. - Atchison
