There are many persons who never
stop to think o ftheir obligation to
the newspaper man. They seem to be
of the opinion that he can live easily
without collecting from his subscrib'
ers, and yet be able to give them a
newspaper that is full of news, back
and front and all up and down the
sides. There is no question about
it, it is be damned if he do, and be
damned If he do not. Then why not
be fair with the fellow who at the
best he can do is always between the
devil and the deep blue sea?

UN EPITAFIO.
Aqui reposa un hombre
cuyo nombre fu6 escrito
SObre ell aqua.

Este divine epitafio de
Keats vale por un nOema. Asi
es de intense y de sdtil. Sus
once palabras son como once
perlas milagrosas. Evocan mil
imagenes muertas, mil suenOs
desvenecidos tcdO de I'm mum
do de aridas desoIaciones y de
inutileS esperanZas.
En- esa sugerente Erase flu
neral ondula un alma de tor
mento, victima de un negro
dcstino: pasa el dolor como
una sombra, pasa la vida CO.
mo una sombra.
.Surca una vela blanca
ell pi6lago azulado que no tie,
he horizonte. La tarde es de
amarantO Y ell cielC una fulgi-
da turqueza. Las ondas gimen
vagamente: y llevan a la me
moria duIces canciones de la
infancia. Y Sc piensa en- ell va
clio de las horas que fueron Y
cue Sc repiten siempre-como
los matices del crepusculo mo-
n6tonas y tristeS.
"Aqui repoSa un hombre Gu
yo nombre fu6 escrito Sobre el
aqua"
-Esta Inca es un largo sus
pho. una pena que Sc inmorta
liza sobre una lapida marm6-
rcs, I'm asfodeIo sideral sobre
I'm sepulcro. Revela I'm espi-
ritu, una idea, una desilusi6n.
Fs como I'm hilo de lagrimas.
