Porque ell viento y ell sol tuestan,

Y solo con pescar mucho

Cuando escuch6 unos lamentos

Y Sc encontr6 con ell bote
De unos naufragos que a fuerza
De gritar Y de estar solos
Estaban vivos apenas.
Aquellos pobres hablaron
Y hablaron en- otra lengua,
Pero entendi6les Jacinto
Que no hay nadie que no entienda
Una voz que pide auxilio
Desde unos labios que tiemblan!

Y albergue lie di6 en- su choza
Cuando pisaron la terra

Y mas linda que una perla.

c., Q. P. Choosing Delegates to State
 and District Contentious.

New Haven, Aug. 31.-Under the call of the republican state central committee caucuses will be held throughout Connecticut today for the purpose of choosing delegates to the stande and district conventions.

 In this city the interest Is in tho ninth senatorial district caucuses where Senator E. l.. Isbell desiring a renomination is opposed by Harry Leonard, member of the aldermanic board. Senator Isbell served as re- publican leader in the last senate dur ing the absence of Senator Perry, he was chairman of a committee which investigated charges made by Senator Hurley that an attempt had been made to offer him a bribe for a vote on the highway commissionership, and late in the session was active in de- bates over various bills.
