FORKS AND FASHION.
A Young Girls Embarrassment and
Token of Appreciation.


She had lived all her life In coun-
try village, daughter of the poorest
of poor country doctors, and when the
great surgeon who once had befriended
her father visited him in his illness
the pretty daughter was invited to
dinner and reception at his house.
Aglow with excitement, the girl packed
her Sunday dress and took the train
for New York.
When the guests were all seated at
dinner she hesitated at the shining ar
ray of silver beside her plate, then
picked up her meat fork and began to
eat her oysters. CHANGING under her
eyelids at the guest nearest her, she
blushed crimson as she realized her
mistake.
Her hostess, perceiving her embar-
rassment, quickly drew attention to
herself by telling a story, which was
drawn out to the length Of the course.
At the end of the story, in illustrating
a point, she held up fork, saying:
"And the stem Of this wonderful
flower was no longer than this fish
roTk.
The social novice was further relieved
at the meat course when q fork was
quietly dropped on the table by the
same hand that placed the plate before
her.
When the evenings entertainment
was over, as she approached her host
ess, the young girl, unobserved by any
one else, took from her corsage beau
tiful rose, which she laid in the white
hand extended to say Good night

Treatment of Bunfons.

Bunions are serious and hard to treat
About the only thing to do is to wear
seamless stockings and shoes with kid
or fine calf uppers. Avoid heating the
feet and change the shoes frequently
Any sweet oil will heal the soreness of
a joint, and sometimes amounting it
with iodine will bring relief When a
bunion gets troublesome the best plan
Is to buy q stick Of sulphate of copper,
pare away the dead skin and cauterize
the spot The operation is trife pain
full, but it is only momentary, while the
sense Of relief that is sure to follow is
like the peace that passeth under
standing"

MOVIMIENTO
ECONOMICO
FL PALS DESPlERTA

Segun nuestras noticias, on
yarios pueblos de La isla Sc proyec-
IA Ilevar a cabo renniones con
Obieto de coadyuvar a la pronta
organizaci6n de La Asociacion ge-
neral de agricultores. Coamo y
Comerfo han roto la Marcia Y es-
neramos que en- todOs los pueblos
sc opere igual movimiento. La
Asamblea de cafeteros que Sc ce-
Iebrara ell 20 en- San Juan, sera 'el
Dunto dc partida, Y a ella deben
concurrir todos los cultivadores de
ese grano.
Pero aparte de esas organiza-
clones parciales, insistimos en- la
conveniencia, mejor dicho, en- la
necesidad urgente, de que todos,
absolutamente todOs los agricul-
torres del pals, Sc unan bajo las ba
ges de una Association fUerte y po-
tente, que genga d servir de con-
trapeso a la labor polftica del go
bierno.
1sa, y no otra, es hoy la uni
ca union possible en- ell pals.
Dos problemas Sc presentan
hoy en- ell pals: ell pol1tico y Ell eco
nonlico. 7 aunque ambos Sc com
paginan y estrechan, nadie mega
ra que mucho Sc ha adelantado en-
81 primero, mientras que el segan-
do esta aun por r9solver. No es
una crisis pol1tica, sino una crisis
economical 10 que agobia hoy al
pals. Tres 9 cuatro amos lleva au-
xiliando al gobierno un partidO
esencialmente polftico, y NADIA, alb
solutamente NADIA ha realizado en-
ell orden economicQ favorable a la
production agr1cola, que es nues-
ira dnica fuente do riqueza. SPor
qu62 Porque ese partido no tiene
La debida representation de Las cla
sesconservadoras y productoras;
porque en- ese partido imperan los
insolventes y los burocratas. Y
mientras en- La Canara insular no
predominen las classes intelectuales
ylas classes productoras, ese NAL Sc
ra eterno.
Mucho hablan en- estos dias
algunos colegas de &union>; pero
de una union fcticia; de una union
que no puede dar ningun resulta-
do practice, puesto que en- ella Sc
quieren amalgamar todos los ele-
mentos de la pol1tica; los buenos
y los nociyos; los que producen y
los que explotan; y uniones de ese
g6nero no Sc han verificado nunca
en- ningun pals, hi con caracter
pol1tico, nj con caracter economi-
co. De ah1 que no prestemOs .nues-
trO concursO q esa clase de unio-
nes que no pueden nunca adqui-
rir solidaridad nj consistencia.
La dnica union possible Y sal
vadora, es la que proponemos: La
union do los agricultores; La union
de los que producer; los cuales,
dejando a un lado ideas Y prejui-
clos pol1ticos, pueden realizar La
obra regeneradora; la salvacion de
los intereses econo1nicos del pals.

CANAL TREATY STATUS
Colombian Congress Conyenes
June 20-chances For Ap-
proyal Unknown.

Panama, May 1O.-The eonvocation OF
the Colonh.an congress for June % is
believed by those acquainted with gov
eminent affairs TO mean that President
Marraquin- is confident of having suf-
ficient support to assure the approval Of
the canal treaty
Gerardo PUelcio. a prominent member
OF the conservative party, discusses the
canal question in the CorreO NaciOnal,
published at BOgOta- He says the re-
neWai OF the canal concession granted by
President Sanclemente is legal, the gov
eminent having constitutional power to
take this step. No company or European
government is willing to risk any money
in the canal venture after the De Lesseps
failure, says Senior Pulecio; therefore the
United states only can undertake the con-
s1ruction of the canal with chances Of
success.
scnor- PueIcio says as Colombia labors
under a load OF 650,000,000 pesos of paper
money the present generation and its
descendants must be saved He proposes
the following plan- The United states TO
pay Colombia for. the canal concession
the sum of SO. 100000 without discount,
concession or reduction. and 100000
yearly for the canal zone. Colombia to
be free of any claims that may arise
against the canal company. The United
States is to recognize the sovereignty Of
Colombia on the isthmus. The other con-
sideratiOns put down by Senior Puelcio
are the same as those that have been
specified in the treaty

also that he has experimental with the

JET PLACED IN JAIL
Alleged Assassin of Attorney
Marcum Was Captured With
out BIoodshed.

Lexington, KY, May 10.-Curtis Jet,
charged with the assassination Of J. 3.
Marcum, was captured without blood
shed at O'Clock Sunday morning at
the home of his mother, Mrs. A. Hag-
gin, near JacksOn's Ferry, by the posse
that started from Winchester at mid
night. He later was placed in jail at
Winchester. When the posse arrived
at the Haggin home the woman admit
ted after some parleying that Jett was
IN the house, and permitted the officers
to enter Jet was found in bed. He
shook hands with the sheriff, said he
would surrender without trouble, and
handed his revolver to his mother
In jail Jett refused to talk about the
killing of Marcum, except to say, "Pll
get out of this all right"
When asked in reference to the state
ment that five men would testify that
he killed Marcum, he sneered and re-
piled, WHAT'S that to your
Jett's stepfather, Haggin, asserts
that when Jet reached his house last
night he drew a revolver and ordered
him from the neighborhood Haggin
went to Richmond and sWoFe out a,
warrant, charging him with assault.
After his arrest Jett denied that he
drove his steDfather from home. Jet
was bitter in denouncing his uncle for
causing his arrest. and said that the
score would be evened up" when he
was released Jet will be arraigned
on Tuesday
The report that B. J. Even was shot
a. Jackson last night is untrue. Even
was with Marcum when the latter was
assassinated last Monday.
