Salud. POeta!
A SALVADOR RUEDA
en- su Uisita d Puerto Rac0.

Sed bien venido, noble hermano,
A nuestra casa, que va ufano
Sale q besaros ell mastin,
Poruue su instinto lie preslente,
Que sois a modo de un ausente
Que a sus solares lorna al Tin.
Haceos ell amo de este huerto
Donde ell jazmin recien alberto
Os da su grata emanaclon;
Donde las brisas, todo aromas,
Y las parvadas de palomas
Os hacen franca reception.
Sentaos alegre a nuestra mesa.
! La luz del cielo brilla y besa
FL blanco limo del mantel,
Cual 81 quisiera unir su encanto
AL regocijo puro santo,
Que de nosotros brota tiel
Ell pan de mieles de la abeJa,
La sana leche de la oveJa
Y las naranjas en- saxon,
Los platos forman del banquete:
La patria en- ellos sc promote
Daros su tiernO cOraZ0n.
Del manantial, que ALA en- las grutas,
Cantando fuye va por rutas
Que ensombra el verde cafetal,
Las aguas limpias, hechas vino
Seran al bardo peregrino
| Licor de goce espirituai.
La mesa es pObre y es sencllla,
Pero despues la maravilla
De vuestro verso encantad0r
Dira. que el campo que os acoJe
Los frutos Gambia de su troJe
Por los regalOS del amor.
| Por reteneros, nuestros brazos
! Unirse Quieren como lazoS
Que Sc estrechasen, al saber
Que son los mimbres prisioneros
De amante jaula, que al perderos,
Pierden un ave de valer.
Pero, no es pOca la fortuna
| De nueStra iSla, siendo una
Como a manera de estacion,
% vuestro espiritu reposa
Cual golOndrina que Sc poSa
A descansar de su aviaci0n
En- ell dorado varillaJe
Donde las luces del paisaje
A vuestros ojos pone el sol,
Ell genio fota de la raza,
Y es el ambiente que oS abraza
Ingenuo halito espanol.
Del barco d6cil que os conduce
Por estos mundos, prende luce
La blanca estela que al zarpar
Del puerto 1ltimo de Espana,
Dei6 tendida, como extrana
Cinta de am0res, sobre ell mar.
Por vos la cinta quedo hecha.
En- ella puso alguna endecha
IVuestra nostalgia de partir...
Mas, no esteis triste, buen hermano,
lQue va conoce el oceano
A dOnde Os debe conducir.
Haceos el amo de este huerto
Donde el jazmin recien alberto
Os da su grata emanaci6n;
Donde la Musa borinquena
lPliega por vos su mas risuena
lY fraternal demostraci6n.

NEW YORK, April lat least
one American citizen can boast of
having had a bona fide countess as
servant. He is wealthy Russian
manufacturer, M. L. Lehman of SIS
Park place. The servant. who has
left them to go back to Russia. was
the Countess Delka Romanoff, the
wife of Count Ivan Romanoff, one
of the nobility of Russian Poland.
Nearly two years ago Mrs. Leh-
man, in making the rounds of the
various employment offices. saw a
young woman who looked prticu,
larry intelligent. The young woman
said she was Delka Romanoff and
was hired. Mrs. Lehman and her
family regarded Delka as the best
servant they ever had. Her wages
were raised three times. Ht.is .--.,.
A little more than two years ago
her husband y Count Ivan, who had

STILL STAND BY
ENGINEER
RALSTON

Despite the decision Of the court
to the contrary, the board Of public
works submitted communication
to the city council at its special
meeting this afternoon saying that
the Spraeue avenue fill fell down
because Of defective workmanship,
thereby again shielding Engineer
Ralston.
Perm ssion was asked to proceed
with the completion Of the work
with concrete retaining walls on
the side, at an expense Of $4,000
more. While admitting that the
loose rock plan that the city has
been trying to make stand for a
year was no good, the beard never
theIess would not say so, hence the
city council adopted resolution or
dering the board to proceed with
the work as per the provisions Of
the city charter.
This means that the board must
find it's own way out Of the diff
Guilty, as the council has no official
knowledge from the board that the
original plans of the Sprague fill
are bad.
The matter Of RaIston's future
will be taken up at the first regu-
lar meeting in April.
The council then adjourned.

From present indications, it is
believed that citizens of the Fourth

posed park bond issue. The whole
matter is to be glen an airing at

provement club of the Fourth ward.
which has been called to meet at
O'Clock tonight in the Holmes
school, Sharp avenue and Cochran

At least two members of the park
board will be in attendance at the
meeting and some of the citizens
figuring on being there predict a
rather stormy session.

GIRL TELLS HOW
SHE WAS BOUND
AND GAGGED

Within 10 feet of an unshaded
window, before which a woman
neiehbor and her husband sat read
ing, Miss Frances O'Hearn was
feIled by thugs, bound and gagged,
in the yard beside her home, at
E210 Sinto avenue, about 9 o'clock
last night. A second man came to
the assistance Of her assaiant to
prevent her from making an out
cry, a glove was thrust into her
mouth.
The case, together with its mo-
tive and those who participated in
it, is a mystery. 1t was at first
supposed that the girl was bound
and gagged to permit her two
strange assailants to ransack the
house, but the police have been un-
able to find any evidence of an at
tempt at robbery of the house, they
declare.
However, according to a story
told by the girl, this was their in
tention, as she was able to tell by
their conversation, but they were
frightened away before they &C.
complished their purpose.
Il was just returning from town.

for Mrs. Lehman, her children hav-
ing been placed in a charitable in
stitution, Delka would go from hos
pital to hospital to inquire about
Ivan, believing that was the best
way to trace him.
While she was on her way to the
Kings county hospital, on March 8,
she met a fellow countryman who
told her he had seen Ivan and
where she could find him. That
night she met her husband. All
went to live in a home which Count
Ivan established.
Last week, after they had
started up their little home Mrs
Lehman said last night, there
came to our. house. addressed to the
Countess Delka RGnanoff. a large
package bearing a Russian post
mark and numerous Russian seals
This letter informed her that she
and her husband and her family
could return; that the husband was
pardoned for his political activity
and that his estates would be re
turned to him. On Saturday they
sailed and we saw them off. l will

cause thew do not want to attract

LONDON, April 1.--The) most

village of Aldbourne, Wiltshire, In
the heart of the country districts Of
England. There bold manr by the

success a play called "The Village
