Para Ell brillante escritor
y poeta j. Perez Losada.-

Tn tame, que, como de costumbre,
daba yo mi paseo
por las afueras de San Juan, sacome
de mi abstraction, ell eco
de estas palabras tristes, pronunciadas
va casi sin aliento:
|" Una hmosna por amor de Dios
para este niilo os ruego.''
Volvl los ojos y mire con pena
y de mi no muy lejos,
a una pobre mujer, que entire sus brazos
llevaba un nino enfermo
que lloraba de hambre, mientras ella
continuaba pidiendo:
por el amor de Dios, una imosna,
porque hamhre y sed tenemos.''
Movldo de un afan caritativo, f
dirigime al momento
hacia aquel cuadro de miseria y hambre
y mis- ojos pudieron
entonces contemplar los desgraciados
con mas detenimiento.
La madre, O. otro tempo fuera hernosa,
pues asomaban restos
de belleza a sus ojos sus labios,
que. a1n conservaba frescos a 4s
a despecho del hambre y la miseria, y rs
llevaba apenas puestos ,9
sobre su carne, unos harapos sncios, s
ropas que tai vez fueron
de una muJer iViana, asql1ien Ia suerte
+ prodigara sus besos; Il
y el pequeno, desnlado enfelaniizo, .

cue del instinto de vivir Hevado
aun seguia viviendo;
pobre despojo de la cruel miseria
que desgarr6 su cuerpo;
ponre angelic, que en- sus tiernos amos.
va sentla los efectos
de la mlseria, al sepultar sus garras
en- su ser cadaverico,
y lloraba de hambre, mientras ella
continuaba pidiendo:
una limosna por amor de Dios
porque hambre y, sed tenemos.''
-'~O d4uc1 CtldUrO de dolores
y miranda hacia ell cielo,
iBendito Dios, clame desesperado
como consientes esto!''
i on hermosa Carload, yo te bendigo, !
que aun wives en- mi pecho
y aan slento de tus rayos bienhechores

Era precise darles la limosna, J
yo soy pobre, es 10 cierto;
mas 81 de hacer la Carload sc trata

Saque de mi bolsillo una moneda,
acerqueme hacia ellos, }
y poniendola en- manos de Ia madre
La die al mismo tempo:
"iY ell padre de ese nino, no 10
tampara?...
y ella exclam6 muy quedo,
con una voz tan apagada debil
que parecia un lamento,
sureando sus mejillas una kgrima:

show a condition that impelled Demo-
Gratis to vote for Republicans, and
Republicans to vote for Mr.. Daniel.
myself voted for Mr.. Daniels oppo-
nent because in point. of location and
experience considered himsthe best
man for the place. This view shouid..
be adopted by every good citizen, not
only when voting for purely fiscal
offices but for any office. / know of
no Democrats who wanted special
favors, and not one who voted against
MIR. Daniels on account of his ack-
nowledged integrity. 1t remains to be
seen whether Democrats who void for
him were Misguided and as to the
kind of Republicans who voted for
him it is only necessary to say that
his opponent, Thompson, is "prog-
ressiye" Republican
Mr. Daniels denial, it will be OBJ
served, doesn't deny the principal
charges based on the very best of
hearsay evidence that he supported
Royal for the Senate-but on the
contrary says he was not "party''
candidate and was not "endorsed,'

elected then by Republican votes.

campaign against reciprocity with the

nection with President Taft and Mr..
Fielding. the Minister Of Finance, dur
ing the course of his argument Ber-
geron's remarks aroused an outburst of
Indignation. and trouble at future meet
ings was feared if he appeared.
At Weyburn, Saskatchewan, one
speaker for the farmers, whose opinion
was cheered. said:
The farmers are prepared TO take the
West out of the confederation of prov

Borden's first speaking place in AL
berta was Macleod, where he received a
memorial from the united farmers of AL
berta representing the feeling of forty
81. branches. They desired the obstruc-
ton 10 the pact on the part Of Bordens
supporters in the Canadian Parliament
70 cease. They desired reciprocity as a
step toward free trade in agricultural
implements and machinery with the
United States. Similar memorials were
presented by farmers in other regions
visited by Mr. Borden.
Mr. Borden replied to all these me-
MORALS. The sober second thought Of
