Puerto Rico Next.

After Santiago, Puerto Rico, pre-
sumably is next on the list, says Col
lie1's Weekly. Formerly regarded as
the key to South America, it has new
er been taken. 1t has had the storm
of ally, foyer too. Twice England at
tackled it. The Spaniards beat her
off. Once they beat the Dutch. But
though the island has never been
taken. the island has been sacked. 1t
took pirates to do it, though The
first was a choice person named
Drake. Accounts Of the adventure
differ, but they agree in this: His
mariners were dressed in silk, his
ships were rugged with damask, his
topsails were cloths Of gold. They
were as beautifully equipped. They
carried basilisks, culverius, serpen-
tines and bombardes. The latter the
old prints describe as mortar pieces
furnished with hollow shot stuffed
with fyrework," the smallest part
whereof hitting man being guaran-
teed to spoil him. More effective for
caravels and caracks than Camara' S
chemicals, they were first used for
Smelling purposes lust $40 years ago.
1t was little later that Drake APP
peared with them in the harbor of
San Juan. When he left the shop
was in ruins and his ballast was du-
CATIONS. Drake had Elizabeth be-
hind him. Cumberland, who follow
ed him there, was an equally choice
but an entirely private corsair. What
he did was on his own hook. What
he lacked was the steady gale of good
fortune which his colleague enjoyed,
Though he took San Juan, fever took
his men. Thereat suspecting, as an
ancient chronicler naively relates,
"that the Spanish had some treacher-
Gus design on foot" he broke away
with but a pearl chest for souvenir.
Since then the island has withstood
the attacks of three distinct flotillas.
There is luck in odd numbers. Now
for the change.

Text: 'And when all the people saw

Cod" Kings 1889.
In the third year of the famine and
drought in Samaria, the Lord said
to the Prophet Elijah, go show thy
self unto Ahab; and will send rair
upon the earth"
Then the Prophet went to the king
and accused him of forsaking the
Lord and following Baal, and COM
handing him to gather on Mount
Carmel, all Israel, and the $50 proph-
cts of Baal; and the 400 prophets OF
Ashcroft, who were under the spe-
cial protection of the queen. And
when they were assembled, Elijah
said to all the people, How long
halt We between two opinions? If the
Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal,
then follow him. And the people
answered him not word.
Then Elijah commanded that Baal s
prophets should put a bullock on an
altar on wood with no fire under, and
he would do the same, land the God
that answereth by fire, let Him be

And Balls prophets laid their sac

morning until noon, 20 Baal, hear

swer. Then they leaped on the altar,
and when Elijah hooking them said,
Call louder, he may be away, or
asleep" they cried aloud and cut
themselves with knives till the blood
gushed out.
In the evening when there was no
answer from Baal, Elijah commanded
the people, Come near unto me. I"
And he repaired the altar of the Lord,
and put wood on a bullock upon it.,
with a great trench dug around it.,
and commanded that four barrels of
water should be poured on the wood.
This was done three times till the
trench was full of water. And Elijah
prayed, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac,
and of Israel, let it be known this day
that Thou art God in Israel"
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and
consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the
wood. and the stones, and the dust,
and licked up the water that was in
the trench. And when all the people
saw it, they fell on their faces and said
The Lord, He is the God"
Then Elijah brought the prophets
of Baal to The brook Kishon, and slew
them there. And he said to Ahab,
"There is sound of abundance OF
rain And the heaven was black
with clouds, and wind. and there was
a great rain, and Ahab returned to
Jezreel, and Elijah ran before hin to
the entrance of the city.

down and help to elect the man who was

matter now stands the Republicans will
either put out another candidate from a
new convention or II Republican will run
us an Independent, and in either case the
Democrats will get the district"
Growing reminiscent the displeased Re

saying all Republicans are patriots.
but when the good of his party or pa

part of Mr.. Linney. he Immediately
ceases to be a patriot himself. He had
promised his constituents not to stand
for reelection this time and keeps his
promise by forcing himself on the con.
