CONVERSATION
De- Los MART TES

Aseg6rase que viene ocurTiendo 4 los
campesinos puertorriquefios algo verdade-
ramente innsitado-si es cierto- 10 que
nos inclinamos & Greer.
Esta en- vigor una ley que Prohibe el
uso de armas.
Desde luego, facil es suponer que no
pudo ocurrirse al legislator incluir entire
las armas cuyo nso So prohibe, 81 machete
de labranza.
Este es el arnaa que comumente esgrime
81 campesino puertorriquefio para galnar-
de. .. La subsistencia.
Ell va 4 veces por 81 sendero solitarip de
la montana, 8 por 81 caInino sinuoso del
llano, bajo Ia nuvia 3 bajo el sol Tecio,
mostrando su machete al cinto, 8 terciado
al hombro, s debajo del brazo.
Pasad junto q 81, aunque vayais con
talega repleta de orc, el Sc descubrird
respetuoso ante vosotros. Ell no es un
calabres. Su machete, que en- Ia diestra
de un bandolero, mueye defensa te-

Ell hambre Sc ma dejado sentir en- los
caanpos de Puerto Rico. Els una verdad.
En- otras parties el hambre ha generado Ia
revoluci6n. En- Puerto Rico impuso el

cafiaverales en- saxon, fue despues Por Ell
propio campesino enfundado, metido entire
sas chismes de emigrante que va lelanas
tierras en- Ia doliente busqueda de trabajo.
Prohibir, pues, 81 uso del rnachete, de
labranza, es quitar-al campesino el prime
TO de sus attributes para ganarse la vida.
Pero ESQ no ha podido prohibirse. No.
ne ha prohibido. Parece 10 que que hay

FEAST FOR THE POOR
SALVATION ARMY WILL GIVE
CHRISTMAS BASKETS TO
NEEDY OF oTTUMWA
Appeal is Made by Captain Mary
Swanson to the Good People of the
City to Assist the Organization in
Providing Good Cheer to the Needy

A good custom of providing feast
of Christmas cheer for the poor OF this
city, which was inaugurated some
time ago by the Salvation Army. will
be followed out again this year by this
excellent organization of workers. 1t
is a herculean task now in compare
son with what it was when first start
ed, but Captain Swanson has already
commenced to solicit baskets of good
things for the needy of Ottumwa. Ev-
cry year sees a number of poor people
added to the list, and to supply all
these the kindness of Ottumwa citi-
zens is requested. Baskets of eatables
and money are solicited. Any gifts
may be left at the army barracks ov-
er 104 West Main street. Appeals for
Christmas baskets are being received
daily by Captain Swanson Last year
merchants and other charitable people
did nobly. There was enough for the
poor. 1t is hoped the people will be as
generous this year as they were last.
1t has been a good year. a year of
bounteous harvests, abundance of
work, peace and plenty. For the most
part the residents of Ottumwa will eat
their Christmas dinners in warm, COM
Portable homes. Their children will be
we'll fed, we'll clothed and well re-
membered with presents. But there
is nevertheless the ever increasing
number Of families in dire distress,
through sickness, through misfortune,
sometimes from crime which always
makes the innocent members OF the
family suffer more than the guilty. 1t
is for these the Salvation Army will
ask the kindly consideration of those
whose hearts are attuned to the
chords of human sympathy.
A PitifM Letter.
One woman who resides in a poor
quarter of the city writes to Captain
Swanson as follows:
Il understand that you are going to
distribute baskets of food among the
poor people on Christmas and in doing
so l wish you would remember my
family. l am a widow with two little
boys and an aged mother to support
During the past two weeks l have
been i'll and unable to work. For this
reason we arc in debt for house rent
The neighbors have been very kind to
us. We have run so far behind that
don't see how II will be possible for
us to have a Christmas dinner this
year unless it comes from some other
source, as we are having hard time
getting enough to eat to keep us from
going hungry as it is.

La Grippe and Pneumonia.

Pneumonia often follows la grippe
but never follows the use of Foley's
Honey and Tar. 1t cures la grippe
coughs and prevents pneumonia and
consumption. Ask for Foley's Honey
and Tar and refuse any substitute Of
fertd. Mr.. G. Vacher, of 157 Osgood
street, Chicago, writes: my wife had
severe case of la grippe three years
ago, and it left her with terrible
cough. She tried a bottle of Foley's
Honey and Tar and it gave immediate
relief. a SO cent bottle cured her
cough entirely" Refuse substitutes. w
