Dear Sir Some of your readers have

After four years Of prosperity and good times

imagine hear the Democrats say
Ever since the very day
That Mckinley took the Presidents seat
Everything has been working for our defeat.
But still there is nothing like trying,
So We will again nominate w. /. BRYAN.
Our only hope is to deceive,
And make the people all believe
That soon, ah very soon.
Our country will all go TO ruin.
Our country we're bound 10 defend
And every Trust we'll quickly end.
Of one Trust they have never spoken.
That's the Trust they have already broken.
But the majority Of the voters seem 10 saw.
In November, on the sixth day,
Our only help this side Of Heaven,
by the Republican party can be given.
Mckinley, the candidate we selected.
am glad to say has been reelected.
Now we can all plainly see,
And on this we will have to agree,
That William Jennings Bryan
is left again far behind
How much better il would be
II Our Democratic friends could only see,
On gold standard we dare to stand.
To protect the interest OF our land.
May God forbid any foreign power,
Should invade this land Of ours.
Bu, may our flag continue to wave
Over the land Of the free and home Of the
lbrave.

INCIDENTE COMICO

La Erensa francesa llegada q esta
Isla en- el 1itimo correo tributa grandes
elogios al artista espanol de tres afios,
Pepito Arriola. Uno de dichOs peri6-
dicos, refiriendose a este, dice:
"Por de pronto, hay que reconocer
que la precocidad del mencionado nino
artista excede la del gran Mozart.
Ademas Sc nota, en- eloglo suyo, una
particularidad acerca de la que no ha-
blaron nunca los bi6grafos del insigne
autor de ''Don Juan". Pepito Arrio-
la, con sus ties amos de edad y tOdo,
juega con las octayas, 10 que no hacia
aqu6l, y 10 que parece hacer del ex-
presadO nino, tan maravillosamente do
tado, no solo I'm prodigio, sino hasta
un ten6meno. Igual que Mozart, su
modelo, pepito Arriola, ha sido recibi
do ell los palacios, escuchado con frui
ci6n per los arist6cTatas y colmado lie
caricias y favores por las tertas coro-
nadas.
"Despu6s de un concerto en- que ell
