PORTO RlCAN BOY ORATOR
He's Only Twelve. He Talked Like
 Sixty 10 General Guy V. Henry.

Altogether unprecedented in the history Of Porto Rico was the demon
 stratiCn of public school children,
 made at the theater of San Juan, just
 before General and Mrs. Henry left for home The exercises were held on the afternoon of May g. Two thousand children were present from the schools of San Juan and Santurse, and twenty
 four schools were represented. The arrangements were under the control of William H. Hill. English supervisor of San Juan. Following the salute 10 the flag and the singing of ''The Star Spangled Banner an address to Gen eral Henry was delivered both in Eng
 fish and Spanish. The speaker was by but 12 years of age. He said:
 General Henry: We, who are about to live, salute yOui When we heard the thunder of American shi ps b0mbarding our homes our hearts were filled with fear, and when we saw the proud flag which had fioated SD long over our land go down, we wer9 told that the end of things was near, but the stars did not fall. We soon saw that the Yankees who walked our streets were not pigs. Slowly we for got our fears. The Lafayette Post brought to each school star-spangled banner, hereafter to be the flag of our island. NCfw, every morning we sa- lute it and pledge ourselves to defend it. Since you have been our cCnl- mander we have learned many things, By your order our schools are becom- ing better. A map of your great coun- try and a little book in your language have been put in our hands to teach us to speak and write it and read it's stories. It opens to us a new door of opportunity. Our teachers tell us of the boyhood of Washington, Lincoln and Grant, and how they became great and good men under the star-spangled banner, and now that we have the same liberty which they had to learn and to do our childish fears are changed to hopes
 we rejoice that ours has become the land of the free and the brave, and that we can be what we make our selves. You have removed the burden of tax from the daily pursuits by which our fathers supported our homes, and from the bread which we eat. You have been thoughtful of cur

THE BOYS IDEA OF TT.
Too much Was Expected for Two Dol
 lars a Week.

A downtown merchant, finding him. self in need of the services of a boy in his establishment, put a card in his window bearing the usual inscription, and though many had called in re- sp0nse to it, none had been chosen up to , o'clock in the afternoon. At that hour little, wiry chap of F summers, with sharp eyes, a foxy nose with freckles on it, and a sandy suit of hair, came in and asked about the sign in the window. He was escorted to the manager of the boy department
 We want a boy" said the manager, looking at him critically.
 I'm Q boy" the youngster explain ed. briefly
 What can you do?" inquired the manager
 Most anything, I guess, that boy can dc around. I have been working for more than a year nCw.'
 "Where?''
 "In MT Banks place. You know he's broke up.''
 Well, we want boy, but so far we haven't been able to find what we are looking for
 What is it ycI are looking f0r?"
 we want boy that is honest, :n- dustrious and diligent He must al- ways be on time, and must not run on the streets, nor play marbles for keeps, nor tell stories, nor smoke cigarettes, nor fight ether boys, nor play ball on Sunday, nor use bad language, nor play tricks on the other boys in the store, nor get into any kind of mis- chief during business hours. He must be neat iii his appearance, his clothes must be kept tidy at all times, his face and hands be clean and his shoes be well shined. In addition"

CHARLES READE's CONCEPT.

The novelist Charles Reada, g " rites Justin Mccarthy in his charm ing "reminiscences, was a man of un- doUbtsdly great ability, a man of genius in his own way, a man who has written some books which will i've with our literature; but he was at the same time one of the most self-lOn- ceited men I have ever met. I know of my own knowledge, that he once wrote indignantly to the editcr of an American monthly magazine com pIaining of an article on English nov elists which appeared in it's pages, be- cause the writer of the article put Charles Reade on a level lower than that of George Eliot.

is developing that property. It is not known what MT. COntZens work will consist of, whether a general survey of the large group of mines embraced in the Grand Reef property, or wheth- CT Q site for reduction works has been determined upon. In all likelihood though, the latter is the fact, for the development work has progressed to that extent that no doubt Mir Makay has decided to commence operation with a view to reimbursing himself for the enormous outlay incident to the thorough development of this mine. The workings of the Grand Reef have attained a depth of over 800 feet, and with drifts, crosscuts, etc., the man agement is no doubt in position to de- termine as to the merit of the prop erty-Tucscn Citizen.

H. Leavick, the Denver mining man who has under bond a group of claims in Montezuma canyon in the Hua- chucas, returned yesterday from there and will leave in the morning for his home in Denver. Mir. Leavick reports devlopment work progressing rapidly Cn the claims. At present he has about twenty-five men at work. He is sinking three different shafts on the ledge besides driving the 5OO-foot tun- nel on which he let a contract to MonyCe & Cagle not long ago. Mir. Leavick is determined to open up the ore bodies if any exist there, and from indications his efforts will meet with success. He says: :"While I have no mine yet, have good prospect" If capital and work will accomplish anything, MT. Leavick will surely sue ceeG- It is just such men of energy and push that CCchise county needs 10 open up her mining resources. There are many excellent copper and other prospects in this county that only await capital to make them paying ropositicns.-Bisbee Orb.
 A dispatch from Washington states that the United States supreme court has rendered a decision in the Daly- Costello ease affirming the judgment of the lower court, the decision being in favor Of Martin Costello The final decision is rendered after nine years of litigation and involves the title of four mining claims adjoining the Cop per Queen at Bisbee, Ariz., and known as the Daily group.-Mining Review.

HOW CARNEGIE SET THE PACE

Those who knew Andrew Carnegie sOnal care to his interests, tell of tte quickness with which he adopted every mechanical appliance which came up-
 on the market to cheapen production and improve quality; of the apparent waStefulnesS with which he discarded millions of dollars worth Of machiiI- cry in the course of his career to rC- place it with, something better; but this Wastefulness was only apparent, for out of 1t has grown the wonderful web of interests which may perpetuste his famr. Every improvement which went into a Carnegie plant meant that other mills had to adopt similar ap- pliances soon after or fall behind in the race. Tn the end it was a good thing for the American manufacturer, and his right-hand man, the Ameri can inventor. 1t is a matter of history that Andrew Carnegie by his quick ness in using the best that came along skinned the cream in the use Of me- chanical appliances. His leadership in this field is UT questioned. In the end it resulted in lifting the entire body Of the iron and steel business in this country to higher plane of op- eration, and this is one reason why we are now selling iron and steel products to every civilized country in the world, to the amazement of the English the Germans and the French, who stand by in paino1 astcnisEment-Pitts Dispatch.
