Conditions in Porto Rico have greatly

Conditions in Porto Rico have greatly
improved since the American occupa-
ton Of the island. An efficient tele
graphic system has been established,
and roads are in process of construction
which will make all parts of the island
easily accessible. The judiciary has
been reformed; schools have been reor-
ganiZed and improved; an efficient po-
lice force has put down brigandage-
once the curse Of the standard rem
dered life and property generally Sc
cure. Improved sanitation has had
marked effects in promoting public
health, and under the new order Of
things, it is safe to assume that, as
time passes, the island will enjoy
prosperity hitherto unknown in its his
tory.

Here she lies where all must come
After days grown wearisome;
She that was Chrysanthemum.
Tulips falter in the wind,
With blown leaves her eyes are blind
And her singing mouth is dumb.
Here she lies where all must come.
Eyes as dark as indigo
Now a deeper darkness know;
Hair that Knocked the ravens wing
Feels it's lotus whitening
After days grown wearisome.
Lotus flower between he rbreasts
Rests as deeply as she rests;
Milky veil about her rolled
Feels seeds quicken in its fold.
Heat she fears not, nor the cold
Here she lies where all must come.
Little feet that moved so light
Music will not stir tonight,
Though the strongest love of men
Lifted on the samisen.
Little hands mems hearts that led
Into snares that she had spread
After days grown wearisome-
Little hands shall hold no more
Closing door or opening door;
Keys Of pleasure or Of grief
Lo! they hold withered leaf.
World, and where is thy distress
One chrysanthemum the less?
World, what sayest thou? SHE is dunn
She that was Chrysanthemum.

The value of negative blessings, so to

The value of negative blessings, SO to
speak-the things that do not happen
is seldom taken into account, yet one
assets" For instance, an insurance
expert estimates that two and half
million accidents, involving a money
loss Of one hundred and seventeen mil
lions of dollars, take place in this coun
try every year. Turning this state
ment about little, it would seem that
the people who met with no accident
last year saved thereby, on an average,
forty-six dollars and eighty cents!

The loss and waste through negli-
gence is Incompatible. The mechani-
cal genius and business energy Of our
age is devoted in large measure to the
economies of doing things. If any one
shall say that inventions in machinery
have reached the limit, which is far
from a safe prediction, no one can say
that the occupation Of making men
has reached the limit. Men, as never
before, are a necessity of business.

No Reason for the Curiosity.

1t Is needless for college boys or any
body else to ask BRYAN where he stands
on the Ie-to-I question. for his position as
TO free silver coinage Is declared unequiv-
ocally In the platform on which he Is run
ninS and In the plank dictated by him as
On absolute requisite TO his acceptance
Of the Kansas City nomination.
THIS IS the plank and it could not be made
more positive:
" We rsarnrm and lndorse the principles Of the ma
tonal Democratic platform adopted al Chicago In 1890
and We Teltefaie the demand Of that platform for an
American financial system. made by the American
people Tor themselves, which shall restore and main
tain a blmetaIllc price level. and as part OF such system
me ~immCiJis restoration Of ths free ana unlimited
coinage Of slrsr and gold at me present rdtfoot 1910 l.
viH8A eating FOR The ala or consent OF any Other
nation"
That settles the question where BRYAN
stands on the currency and why he Is now
n candidate for the Presidency. He could
not make clearer the explanation OF his
position and he does not. cannot and will
not deny that this declaration dictated
by him and forced by him on the Kansas
City Convention expresses his conviction
and proclaims his purpose If he Is elected.
Tho question is answered and settled and
there IL no excuse for the curiosity OF the
college boys as to BRYAN's position on 1t.
Except for his i6-to-i proposition he would
not have been nominated In 1895 and re-
nominated in 1900 and his very name would
now be unknown TO the college boys.
