PORTO RICAN MUSIC.
The National Instrument Is N Queer
One. but Popular.

The National Instrument ls n Queer
One. but Popular.
Like all other Spanish speaking peo-
Piles. the Porto Ricans are fund of mu-
sic. Nearly all of the airs are pitched
in a minor key, which, even when in
tended to be joyous, contains plant
to the Anglo-Saxon fond of Sousa's ro-
bust music. To one who has travelled
in Spanish lands the music at Porto
Rico at first seems very familiar, but
the ear is not long in discovering some-
thing more novel in the accompani
ment to the melody. 1t sounds at first
like the rhythmioal shuttle of feet upon
sanded floor, and one might suppose
some expert clog dancer was nimbly
stepping to the music made by the vio-
Inns and guitars The motion is almost
however. and it is the dizziness of fingers
and not of feet which produces it.
1t comes from the only musical in
strumens native to the West Indies, the
"guira," which word is pronounced
"huir-r-r-a." with Ga soft roll and
twist to the tongue only possible to the
native. The "guira' is a gourd vary
ing in size in di fferent instruments. On
the inverse curve of the gourd are cut
holes like those in the back of a violin
On the other side of the gourd opposite
the holes is q series of deep scratches
The player balances the gourd in his
left hand, holding it lightly that none
of the resonance may be lost. With the
right hand he rapidly rubs this rough
ened side Of the gourd with two tined
steel fork. In the hands of q novice
this produces nothing but harsh. dis
agreeable noisa In the hands of a ma
tive ''guira" player wonderful
rhythmic sound comes from this dried
vegetable she'll q sound which. in its
place in the orchestra. becomes music.
and most certainly gives splendid time
and much volume 10 the performance
The players hand moves with light
ming rapidly. The steel fork a. times
makes long sweeps the whole length Of
the gourd end then again vibrates with
incredible sWiftness over but an inch
or two Of its surfacA There seems to
be q perfect method In it's playing.
though no musical record IL before the
player, and IL seems 10 be a matter
merely Of bis fancy and his ear as to
how his part shall harmonic with the
melody Of the stringed Instruments
The players generally make their own
instruments and apparently become at
tached to them. for a. poor as these
strolling players are. they will not part
with them for their real value They are
distinctly Porto Rican ourio. and the
tourist who can secure a guira may con-
graduate himself, for IL will be hard
to get and is the very thing which can
be carried away from the island as
souvenir which is distinctly native and
peculias.-Kansas City Star.

A hard luck story comes from Abb
lene, Kans. When the Kirby bank
failed in that town q Santa Fe conduc.
tor had in it S2,0 900 which represented
the savings of many years. In course
of time he received 81 900 in dividends
from the bank receiver and this sum
he deposited in the Cross bank at EN-
poria, which in turn failed. II any
thing in the world Is calculated to in.
duce man to take his savings and
have one great big glorious blowout it
would seem to be an experience like
this.

Cresencio Valerie, q badly wounded
Mexican, was brought in on the South
ern Pacific passenger train today from
Cambray Station, New Mexico. He
was shot there early this morning and
was suffering severely when he reach
ed this city. t1
The wounded man was placed In an
express wagon and conveyed to the
Mexican consulate where he related
the story of the shooting to Consul Ma
lien.
He said that he and several compau-
ions were travelling afOot toward FL
Paso and spent last night near Cam
bray station, New Mexico, about sixty
miles west on the S. P. railway.
According to Valerio's story the
wayfarers built fire near the railroad
track and early this morning the sta
and ordered them to move on.
They did not comply Immediately and
the wounded man says the agent then

load of buckshot at him;
several of the shot took effect in his
