A DIBSTRO Y SINlBSTRO
! Habra festas?

Habra hestas?
lie ahf la pregunta que asoma to-
dos los labios. ~
He ahf ell interesante problema que
trae pensativo y caviloso en- estos dfas
al bello sexo de esta ciudad, que Sc
muestra impaciente por saber 81 este
aflo sera 8 no festejada La Guadalupe,
que es una vfrgen muy simpatica nnuy
barbiana.
Con tan fausto motive Sc recuerdan
tiempos mas prosperos y felices en- que
Ponce, La perla del Sur, no tocada aun
del marasmo que La consume, vestfa sus
mejores galas, y Sc permitfa ell lujo,
hoy inusitado, de echar La casa por la
ventana en- honor de su excelsa pa
|trona.
De entonces aca han variado mucho
los tiempos.
A los arranques del entusiasno han
sucedido los desmayos del desaliento,
a las esplendideces las mezquindades, y
a las iniciativas generosas la indiferencla
egoista, que Sc encoje de hombros ante
toda idea que no sea la de acumular di-
nero.
va no hay constancia nj fe,
Y ESQ a todos nos aplana,
iOh Ponce, bella sultana!
iQuien tie ha visto quien te vel
No existe pueblo en- la isla, aun e!
mas insigniticante, que no rompa 81
quiera una vez al anO, La prosaica mo-
notonfa de la vida vulgar, que pesa so
bre ell espfritu como una losa de plomo.
ST carece de fondos los reune, llama
a todas las puertas; ayiva Ell entuslas
mo, todos, sin distinction de classes,
aportan su obolo y su concurso.
En- Ponce es tarea fmproba de roma
nos empenarse en- cualquier empresa
meritoria que sc aparte de La rutina; de
pocos amos a esta parte Sc ha desarro-
Ilado entire nosotros ell sentido practice
de un modo que nos hace poqufsimo IA
voT.
La febre del trafco las expecula-
clones mercantiles nos ha invadido has
ia Ell punto de que casi, casi, ha cegado
en- nosotrOs las fuentes de La genefosl-
dad.
iAeabaremos por conyertirnos Ell, ro-
nosos y tacanos!
Volviendo la vista atras
hagamos como otros dfas,
demostrando una veZ mas
que aun nos sobran energfas.
Entire tanto ell bello sexo de Ponce,
sonrfe y medita. l.
Y con argentinas voces, quese van de-
rechas al corazon apresurando sus lati-
dos, pregunta con clerto dejo melanco-
lico en- que Sc entreyee el tenor de re-
cibir un desengano:
iHabra festas?
Seamos galantes, por 10 menos; y
apresur6monos a complacer los .justos
deseos de las hermosas damas poncenas

She wore close-fitting knee-breeches, with black hose, and low cut shoes, with silver buckles. It was a combination of the costume of the colo nial period and the present.

It is impossible to reduce mankind to a common plane. It would not be desirable, if it were possi- ble, for it would rob us of ambition
 A lazy girl fails in her love affairs just as lazy man fails in business affairs. The lazy girl is never dressed when a young man ealls-she is lounging around in a soiled wrapper. She probab re- in a soied wrapper. She probably refuses to see him because 1t IS too much troub- le to dress, or she keeps him waiting too long while. she is getting ready. In eith- CT case the caller is apt to be disguised, and never goes again. The bright, smart girl is always prepared. A few touches to her toilette and she is ready for company. The parlor grate IS kept full of coal and kindling. The bird that catches the worm must not only be SUIT ring early, but must be ready early ana late.
 Birmingham is peculiar in this re- spect: It is hard to keep a regular line of customers remarked business man. "The people seem to like something new, new ice wagon, with fresh paint, will take orders from the old established line In other cities, an established milk route is looked on as a fortune-the young man who marries the daughter of dairyman with a milk route is looked upon as having succeeded in life. If a H. val milk man tries to take away the patrons of the old dairyman he is hooted at as dishonest and his wagon is stoned off the street. If the old dairyman sells out his patrons stick to his successor In Birmingham there is no such thing as selling the patronage and good will Of busness-the first new conner will prob ably get all the old patrons in few days Every tub stands on it's own bottom.

 met with in the volumes, and there will be many old classics that are far too good to be forgotten. There has been of late tendency to discount the claims of the old story tellers, but several of them whose efforts have been rescued from Blackwood's and other famous old magazines will doubtless give the read CT as great pleasure as the latest piece of work by Barrie or Kipling. Then, too, there is an old-time flavor about them that adds to their charm.
 For the past two Henry T. Coates & Co., have been publishing in their Lit erary Era" in monthly installments, an alphabetical list of American genealo- gies that have appeared in book form. These lists have now been collected into a biography which will shortly be pub lished in book form under the title of "American Genealogies in Book Form. :"
 This photography has been prepared by MT. T. Allen Glenn of Philadelphia, an authority on American genealogy who has devoted many years to a study of the subject. His bbliography will supercede all earlier lists and will be of great service to historical societies and genealogistS.

California is reasonably proud of Miss Juliet Wilson Tompkins, who lives near San Leander, and within an hour and a halfs ride of San Francisco. Her greatest success lies in short stories, though from early childhood many poems have come from her pen, which during the last few years have found ready ac- ceptance. Just at present she is at work on a light opera.

cognized in Washington.
c. c. Mouithrop's heroism has
not yet been officially recognized
at Washington, y. G., though Sen
Itor Perkins and Representative
Barham have pledged themselves
to do their utmost to that end,
says the :. T. Examiner. An eff
fort is TO be made TO have him
awarded a boatswain's straps and
gold medal.
The particular heroism of Moul-
rhrop was the saving of the lives
of four Of his comrades during a
storm in the Pacific ocean, just
fourteen days ago. The revenue
cutter Commodore Perry was on
her way from this port to Puget
Sound. and the day before reach
ing the Sound encountered very
heavy weather. BOatswain Al
fred Halfeli had been swept from
the deck into the sea when four
seamen launched a boat and tried
TO rescue him. After Il vain
search they tried to make the cut
ter, but their small craft was cap
sized and all four were in danger
of perishing when MoulthrOp seiz,
ed a rope and sprang overheard.
BY what must have been all but
superhuman effort he succeeded
in placing the rope around all four
men, and they were rescued. 1t
would be difficult to find q par
rallel to such a heroic act, as ev-
cry chance was against both res
cuer and rescued.
Moulthrop shipped on board
the Commodore Perry a fortnight
before she started on her north
bound trip. He had come here
on the yacht Coronet, owned by
Arthur Curtiss James. Halfeli,
the bOatswain who was drowned,
was the man who engaged Moul-
throp. The latter is a native Of
Springfield, Mass, % years old,
about. six feet in height, and
weighs $50 pounds. He is we'll
built, quiet and athletic. He
served an apprenticeship in the
navy, and was discharged from
the old man-of-war Omaha at this
port.

BAD LUCK AGAIN.
Ship COrOlla Has a Close Shave
From Going Aground.


The British ship Corolla, Fraser, mas
ter, had some more bad luck as she was
leaving the Pacific Mail wharf for San
Francisco early yesterday afternoon.
The Corolla had a wire stern-Iine at
tached to a mooring post at the further
end of the wharf. An order was given
to native deck hand to let go the line
This he did, and as it was being Stacked
away it caught under the iron wheels
of the post and got damned. This threw
the ship out of her course, and her
sails being set, she made directly for
the mud opposite the light house, and
might have gone aground had it not
been for the clever manipulation of
Pilot Macauley, who dropped anchor
and let out forty-five fathoms of chain
He then backed topsails and after get
ting the ship where he wanted her,
heaved anchor. After that the tug boat
came to the ships assistance and towed
her out to sea.
