METEREOLOGIA DE HOY

LOS EMPLEADOS APLAUDEN

En la couciencia de los puertorri-
quenos pensadores esta, que ell partido
republicano acaba de realizar un acto,
que pone mas de manifesto la falta de
patriotismo de esos hombres, que no
persiguen mas ideal que la possession
de los destinos pGblicos.
Para ellos la patria Sc reduce un
presupuesto de tres cuatro millones
de dollars que hay que repartirse de
cualquier modo. Vedlos como Sc pc
lean por los puestos p1blicos retribui-
dos; vedlos como aceptan el statu quo
proclamado por Ell partido republica-
no nacional, que es Ia ruina para Puer-
to Rico; vedlos como servilmente alb.
dican de su programa regional, ha-
ciendo Greer sus huestes inconcientes.
que ell tai programa subsiste, cuando
sc declaran una prolongaci6 del par
lido nacional, como 81 fuera l6gico.
como 81 fuera possible que exista un
partido con dos programs antit6ti-
cos; pues mientras en- ell programa in
sular Sc dice que el partido aspira al
Territorio como medic para llegar al
Estado, en- ell programa nacional Sc
declara el stGta quo para Puerto Rico
como la forma de gobierno mas ven-
tajosa, puesto que con ella nos encon-
tramos pr6speros y felices.
No nos explicamos, como puede
haber en- ese partido hombres pensa.
dores y con intereses que defender
que acepten sancionen una farsa Sc
meJante laboren contra sus propios
fntereses.
La polftica del partido republica-
no es la polltica de la burocracia. es
la polftica del presupuesto; de abf
que los emoleados puertorriq uenos '
los empleados continentales coincidan
en ell mismo punto; de ahf que el San
|ttoe Netcs, organo ds la burocracia
americana, aplauda ell acto raalizado
de igual modo que 10 aplaude el Puer.
% Rico Sun, 6rgano de Ia burocrac;a

puestos de la administration de Ia is-
IA ellos continuaran siendo jefes de

gisiadores de Puerto Rico; poroue 81

formarse por election popular; y con-
tnuaremos bajo ese sistema immoral
de que dicten leyes para la admins
TRACTION del pals, los mismos emplea-
dos de esa administration.
Perque Ell Statu quo representa- la
negacion absolute de nuestra ciudada-
MIA y la continuation, quiz4s por mu-
chos amos, de esta humillante condi-
ci6n de colonos.

LUCK BROUGHT MILLIONS.

Accidental Discovery In Iron Shop
Created Great Wealth.
The creation Of the fortune of Ben
jamln f. Jones, who died the other
day, estimated in his home city of
Plttsburg at 100000 900, was one of
those odd events that are wholly I'm.
available In support Of the contention
that pure luck or chance plays no in
considerable part in human affairs,
says the New York World.
Jones owned a small forging shop
thirty years ago and had no apparent
prospects Of entering millionairedom.
One day an employee, a careless fellow,
let a pair Of cold tongs slip from his
hands and they fell between the roll
ers. Examination of the tongs when
they were recovered disclosed the fact
that the metal in them had been acct
dentally made into an exceptionally
high-grade quality of steel.
The patent secured on that purely
chance discovery was the passport of
Jones of Pittsburg to n Of the largest
fortunes In the country and incidental
ly to political Immortality as the chair
mar Of Blaine's presidential campaign
committee who fried the, fat out Of
such manufacturers as were sluggish
In their contributions.
The perverse moral OF this story Is
accumulated by the fact that the care
less workman who dropped the tongs
was rewarded for his carelessness with
a gift Of $4,000. Young Americans
will nevertheless do well to believe
that as a rule large fortunes are not
made by chance but by deep thinking
and hard working; and also that pains
taking, not carelessness, is the main
highway to success.

UPHILL.

Does the road wind uphill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Win the days journey take the whole
long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
But Is there for the night a resting
placer
A roof for when the slow, dark hours
begin,
May not the darkness hide it from my
face?
You cannot miss thst inn.
Shall l meet other wayfarers at night?
Those who have gone before.
Then must l knock or call when just in
sight?
They will not keep you waiting at the
door.
Shall 1 find comfort, travel-sore and
weak?
OF labor you phall find the sum-.
viii there be teds for me and all who
seek?
Yea, beds for all who come.

JACK FROST PROCESS
OF ICE MANUFACTURE

Paying due honor to the fact that
Frost is king in the Ice business, a
natural process OF manufac curing Ice
at a nominal expense has recently
been perfected and patented. The the
DRY of the process is In taking advan-
tage of natural conditions and improv-
ing upon nature In minor details. The
patents that have been granted on the
process by the Washington authorities
are what are known as basic" which
means that nothing OF a similar ma
ture has ever been passed upon by the
patent office. The Jack Frost process
can be carried out anywhere; all that
1t requires Is freezing weather. The
conditions under which the Ice Is pro-
duced are simple and At the same time
novel. For instance. any piece OF va
cant property within the heart OF the
city itself can be utilized for the work.
An inexpensive skeleton structure is
set UP. open on sll sides. but covered
by a roof. An ample supply OF pure
water Is provided for and the opera
tors wait for the first freezing weather.
As this approaches paper tanks the

size Of the blocks of ice 1t is proposal
to freeze are prepared on substantial
foundations, but allowing an air space
under and around them. When the
thermometer Is right two or three
inches Of water is run into each tank
and it will freeze into a solid block in
a short time, much quicker than a sim.
liar cake Of ice would form on an open
lake In the same weather. This pro-
cess Is repeated till cakes of ice Of COM
mercial size are produced, and each
process Is more expeditions than the
previous one from the fact that there
is the initial foundation Of ice. When
the first set of ice cakes are finished
another set of paper tanks is set upon
supports which rest ON the basic layer
and the process is repeated. This Is
repeated in turn till as much ice as
it is possible to make on the location is
frozen, and then the walls are put into
the building and the ice is packed and
the place closed up till the ice is re-
quired.
l.. F. Cook, a Chicago inventor, Is
the originator of the process.

HOW A TREE is MURDERED.
Some Growths Are Exceedingly Diff
cult TO Destroy These Days.

Some Are Exceedingly Dfm-
cult to Destroy These Days.
A gentleman Of means living In a
suburban town tells how his mother
once undertook 10 murder a cherry
tree. Il was a boy at the time," he
said. "The tree stood on our lawn;
1t had been planted by my father, and
he loved it with a parental affection;
but 1t was an eyesore to my mother,
for she thought it spoiled the looks
Of the garden.
"She decided to murder 1t secretly
because she knew that my father
would never consent to its removal.
For a long time she pondered, asking
herself how she might kill the tree
without being detected, and finally she
decided that she would use for her
weapon boiling water. Accordingly
whenever my father was away She
would get a kettle, and. tiptoeing out
to the tree with a guilty look, she
would pour boiling water upon It's
roots.
AT first the tree showed no change
under this treatment. After a time,
though, a change began to manifest
Itself. My father noticed it.
"'By jove,' he said, my cherry tree
seems unusually fine and hearty
And this was a fact. The more
boiling water my mother poured on
the roots the more the tree thrived and
hourished. Finally. in despair, she
gave up trying to commit her veget-
able murder.
"a florist, to whom she narrated this
strange story n day. laughed when
he heard 1t. He said 1t was no won
der the tree had gotten along so well.
He declared that boiling water was
often used on trees. as 1t killed OF
the worms and bugs molesting them"

"Any particular song?' she asked.
There was a moments silence, and
then in a voice that was half laughter
came the answer: "You might sing
Bobby Shaftoe' again."
1t was late in the fall when Miss
Dexter went back to Boston and he to
resume his law practice. They had be-
come fast friends In the meantime,
and later, when his practice was better
established, Miss Dexter became Bob

TEMPTATION OF
BERNARD STRONG.

no coward, but the whole thing had
happened sc quickly that he hardly

would not be the least use showing
himself, for what could he do against

While thus cogitating on the best
course to take there was a slight click
in the farther corner, and Strong
guessed what had happened by the rep
etition Of the appreciative grunt-the
door of the ,strongroom was open.
AT last Strong's mind was made up,
all his nerve returned, and he was as
cool and calm as ever.
Very slowly and silently his hand
crept up to the little brass knob above
his head, there was a sharp click, and
the next moment the room was flooded

him Keeling into the strongroom, there
to fall with a dull thud on the hard
iron floor. Like lightning the door
slammed to, the skeleton key turned
in the lock, and the bolt shot home.
Strong stood for a minute dazed and
trembling, listening to the dull thuds
and oaths proceeding from the room,
then fell fainting to the ground. The
excitement Of the past ten minutes had
been too much for al overworked con-
stitution.
When Strong opened his eyes he was
no longer lying on the Office floor, but
on the comfortable sofa in the direct

over him. anxiety written on every fea-
