TIE COOP oLO lazy Man.

know a dear old lazy nan
Who roams about all day,
Whose head is fan Of happy thoughts
And pleasant things to say.
He wanders through the sunny streets,
And fingers here and there
To watch the children whom he meets,
Or smooth some baby's hair.
And when he finds lonely child,
Or one that's fretfuI grown.
He takes It gently b. the hand
As though it wers his Owl.
And handin hand they stroll away
Along the pavement wide,
First down the block, and then across,
Then up the other side.
He helps the children at their games,
And knows why each one wins,
And tells Just what day top-time ends
And marble-tims begins.
He Is no myth from fairyland,
Nor prince IN psuper's clothes,
But Just a dear old lazy man.
Whom everybody knows.
And II you keep a sharp lookout,
And note each one you meet,
Some day you'll see the lazy nan
Come strOIling down Jour street.

Der of about 500 make their home on Gu
Zebra, the second largest island IN the
Passage group. Culebra lies about six
teen miles to the eastward of Cape san
Juan. Because Of its irregular outline
and broken, steep shore the island is also
sometimes known as Serpent Island. Like
Nieques, its coast Is indented with many
bays, which afford excellent harbors
There are many small hills that are COW
cred with scrub timber. but the soil IS SO
sterile compared with the fertility of For
to Rico that no attempt is made TO cuiti-
vate il on an extensive scale. and the LOO
inhabitants support themselves by FISH
ing and gathering wood.
The principal village on Vieques is Fort
Mula, where live 1000 inhabitants, under
the direction of a governor appointed by
the governor general of Porto Rico A
lighthouse stands al this port.
The other islands in this group are of
even less Importance. They are small keys
alike those off the Florida coast and few
are inhabited. Northeast Key is small,
ovel-shaped, $40 feet high and its two
square miles of area is thickly wooded.
Byrd Key, near Northeast Key Is four
square miles in area and remarkably
rocky. Near by are other small islets
that are also wooded, but the dwelling
place of fishermen.
on Culebrita Island or Little Culebra,
which lies about a mile from Culebra. is
lighthouse whose light, at an elevation of
moro than 300 feet, can be seen for fifteen
miles
Two other islands worthy of mention are
at the western extremity of Porto Rico.
These are Mona and Monta Islands.
Mona IS near the Mayaguez inlet and gives
its name to the broad channels flowing
between Porto Rico and San Domingo.
Mona, that Is, Monkey Passage, termi-
ntaes on the west in a bold headland top
ped by huge overhanging rock known
TO seamen by the. suggestive name of
"CaigO o No Caigo?' (Shall I fan or
notO Near Mona is the islet known as
Monte, or Little Monkey
In their present condition none of these
islands is of any Importance but il is be-
lieved that under American rule they win
be as prosperous as those of the same
size on our own coast. Their climate is
delightful and they would make ideal
summer resorts. The real reason, how
ever. for their acquisition by the United
States is to prevent Spain from retaining
even foothold in the Western Hemis-
phere.

NEARLY THREE YEARS PHENoSIE-
NAL SUCCESS HAS GIVEN II
PRESTIGE THAT CANNOT BE
SHAKEN.
Endorsed by the Best and Most Sub
StantiaI People of Savannah.

Merit hath its own reward is true and
trite saying. The reward of Abbos meri-
torious Surgical and Medical Record has
been abundant and is strikingly visible in
the success that has followed the Abbo
Institute in this city and the good will
and encouragement rendered 1t by the en-
tire community. The work performed by
the physicians Of the Abbo Institute has
been of a truly remarkable character.
Hundreds of sufferers have been relieved
of horrible aflctions when all hope had
fled and many lives have beyond question
been saved by the medical Skill of these
physicians. The rich have felt effects and
derived the benefits of their superior
knowledge and scientific work and nave
laid tribute in gold at their door in appre-
citation of the good done them. The poor
alike have been given the advantages of
their medical learning and success and
have offered up sincere words of gratitude
and prayers that they might continue in
their prosperity and be always successful
in alleviating and curing the afflicted.
Hundreds of testimonials from eminent
and Well-known people attestins the cura-
tive powers of Abbo have been published
and hundreds more could be added, but
are considered superfluous in view Of the
popularity that the Abbo Institute has al
ready gained. The people recognize its
worth and appreciate it. To the sufferer
from disease 1t is a haven OF refuge.
Crowds continue to assemble there daily
for. treatment and every day adds to the
number of friends and patrons made by
the institution The cures made in the
past have been of a character that can
certainly prove to those needing medical
or surgical attention that they can make
no mistake in visiting the Abbo Institute
and place themselves under the care and
treatment of physicians whose work has
been wonderful and who have merited and
won the praise, encouragement and sup
port of the best people of the city.
