HenricA & Co., de Barcelona.
Els I'm precioso estuche, para guar
dar una joya de gran valor: los versos
inspirad1simos de Jose de Diego, uno
de los poetas de mayor sensibilidad de
la pequeha Puerto Rico.
POGO afcionado soy leer versos
ajenos; y los que suelo hacer yo. no
como poeta, sino como nero afctonsdo
a las letras, por 10 regular, despu6s de
hechos, no vuelven pasar por delan-
te de mis- ojos.
No me sucede asf con los que escri :
be este Jose de Diego, porque piensa
hondo, y me obiiga pensar; con los
de Salvador Brau que retumban como
una campana; con los de Luis Mufloz
que me enardecen; con los de Rafael
del Vale que me hacen sonar con la
6Iur4I1dA1 de mund0S y, con algunos
mas pocos, que lno recuerdo en- este
momentO.
Unicos versos que leo con gusto;
unas veces sonriendo, otras meditando,
y no pocas sintiendo que mis- ojos Sc
humedecen y Sc llenan de lagrimas.
Cuando me Sucede este 11ltimo, moons.
cientemente, es cuando me GUSTAV
mas los versos, sea quien fuere Ell au-
tor; y este meIsucede frecuentemente
cuando leo versos de Jose de Diego.

No hay tai cosa. cMisantropo, Jose
de Diego? Para decir ESQ, es nec-sa-
rio no conocer al poeta, 8 haber Lido
muy la ligera los hermosos versos

Creo firmemente que no eStoy equi-
vocado. Yo, que rio siempre, por que
entiendo que solo riendo Sc puede vi
vir en- Puerto Rico, eSa misantr0bta de
Jose de Diego me hace poner serio, y
olvidarme de que, como decfa Figaro,
mejor es reir que llorar.
Y basta va. Gracias, amigo mio,
por el ejemplar de tn libro, que has te-
nido la bondad de dedicarme, aunque
no merezce esa distinction.

ard of indianapolis, at the Riggs

Senator Fairbanks will be named for

1T is quite within the range of prob
ability, moreover, that Indiana may fur

tain the Chicago ticket but in the
event that the St. Louis convention
takes its Vice-Presidential candidate
from our State. the race will be close
enough to be interesting.
Apart from politics. there has been
a great deal of discussion out our way
of the letter written by former Post
master General Tyner to President
Roosevelt asking that reparation be
made him for the stigma put on his
honor previous to the trial which re-
suited in Mr.. Tyner's vindication
Thousands of our people consider that
this aged man has justice and right on
his side, and his letter has reused a
feeling of sympathy among all classes
of men. In our country 1t is held with
reason that no man is too great or toe
exalted in Office to do a citizen justice
and in accordance with this sentiment
many people are anxiously watching
