Zelaya has resigned from the presidency of Nicaragua. Ma placed his raalgnatlon In the handa of congreas this morning. Ap? parently there was no other course for hlan to take. The people were at laat aroused. The guna of the revolutionists threatened. The war? ship* of the United States lay In Nicaragua n ports. Managua haa been seething tor du ye. The spirit of revolt haa apread even to the gate* of the palace. Ze? laya surrounded hlm*Jf with an armed guard. Unchecked, the pop? ulace have marched through the etrteta, crying Tor the end of the old, proclaiming the new regime. Who will take up tha ralna no one know* or cares. It la sufficient that Zelaya at dlcUtor will be known no -esfcore. There la no doubt that con -ffeae will act quickly on hla raalg? natlon for the people have demand? ed It. Dr. Joae Madrla, Judge of the Cen? tral American court of Justice at Cartage, who haa bean cloae to Ze? laya and la now his choice for presi? dent, will arrive have on Saturday. Madrls haa hla following, strong and Influential even among the revolu? tionists, but Oan. Eatrada, under whose command la the great body of fighting Insurgents, will have none of him. Estrada's word will bear weight In the choice of a prealdent. Zelaya haa known, too, that Mad rls Is not acceptable to the United States and he has sought to learn who would be looked upon with fav? or by that government aa his succea Accompanying his resignation, Ze? laya aent the following message to congreas. ^ "The painful circumstances In whtch the country Is plunged call for acta of patriotism on the part of the good cltisens who are the witnesses of the oppression of tha republic by the heavy hand of fate. The coun? try la ataggerlng under a shameless revolution which threatens the na? tion's sovereignty and a foreign na? tion unjustly Intervenes In our af? fairs, publicly providing tha rebels with arras, which haa only resulted In their being defeated everywhere through tha heroism of our troops. "To avoid further bloodshed and for the reaaon that the revolutionists have declared that they would lay down their arma when I surrender the executive power, 1 hereby place In the hands of the national assem? bly tha abandonment of the remain? der of my term of office, which Is to be filled by a subject of their choos? ing, with the hope that this will re? sult In good to Nicaragua, the re establishment of peace and particu? larly tha suspension of the hostility of the United Statoa, to which I do not wlah to give a pretext for Inter? vention." A commission of five deputies was appointed to draft a bill loklng to the acceptance of Zelaya'a realgha tlon, which Is now considered a mere formality. Newe of the president's action spread through the city and soon great crowds moved through the etreete shouting for the United States, Estrada and the revolution. ?If you are suffering from bilious? ness, constipation.

Slbsrt "Callable of Coping With Antag? onism." In advertising for a man for a re? sponsible position a firm stated, among other qualifications, that he must be "capable of coping with an? tagonism, " says Orison Sweet Mar den in Success Magazine. Evidently, what this firm wanted was a young man with backbone and grit and stamina, who was not easi? ly discouraged; one who would not ? stop or give up when obstacles con? fronted him. Many men who are gatnts when everything goes smoothly are com- | pletely paralyzed when they meet with antagonism or friction. When everything goes their way, when there Is no trouble or hitch any where, they are strong, resourceful, Inventive; they Impress you with their power, but the moment they strike a snag, meet adverse condi? tions, their courage oozes out. I have In mind a man who is a perfect whirlwind, who can accom? plish marvels when everything is go? ing smoothly in his busness, but if one of his chief lieutenants sends In his resignation, or if he has differ? ences with his partners, or his firm meets with any loss, he is immediate? ly shorn of power and becomes a mere pigmy. His mental processes are com? pletely moralized* by the least bit of friction or discord. When there is trouble anywhere he is perfecetly miserable; when harmony is restor? ed he is a giant. I have never seen so strong a man rendered so com? pletely helpless when he has any trouble whatever, or when things are going wrong anywhere. Now, the really strong man braces up, rises to the occasion In propor? tion to the difficulties to be over? come. I was recently talking with a youn^ man of this kind who occupies a ? high position in a large firm, and he j told me that he n< ? er allows him t self to go to the proprietor with his J troubles, with any difficulty, how | ever, great, unless i: was one which j might seriously affect the firms* rev I enues. He considered that he was I paid for solving the business prob | lems that presented themselves, and that he must fight them out alone. That Is the kind of employee that is wanted everywhere?the man who can solve his own problems, fight his own battles, without running to his superior with every little difficulty that confronts him. That's the Question. Little Prue was much interested in Miss D-, who had lost her voice, and one day came to her and said, "Miss-, would you know your voice if it came back?"?The Delin? eator for January.
