Everywhere over the dwellings of the natives of the great central plateau of Bolivia Is the grass cross. Charles M. Pepper, the author of "Panama to Patagonia,” states that he rarely found a hut without this symbolism. The cross, he wns told, was blessed by the priest, and then it kept out the rain, which at times is very heavy. One old man, whose undoubted ortho­ doxy was, at least, without a crust of superstition, was asked if the crosses really did keep out the rain. “ Yes, if the roof Is a good one,” he gravely replied.

Action has been deferred on these bids because the administration was not certain that the work would be done by contract or continue under gov­ ernment management. Meanwhile tlie bidders have become impatient and Mr. Morse called on Mr. Taft today, with the result that they went to the W hite House and discussed the matter with the president. Iaiter the following statement was given out at the W ar departmnet: “ In view of the changes which have taken place in the management on the Isthmus, the persons making bids for Chinese labor, which have long been pending, have been notified that no action will be taken in respect to them; that they are released fiom any obliga­ tions under their bids, and that, if oc­ casion should arise for a renewal of bids for Chinese labor, they would be notified.” the front rank, o W ell Informed of the World.
