BENDITA TU MANO

sSabes en- que pienso? No 10 Sc yo mismo.
Miraba tan solo. Me gusta mirar
tu mano, cuidada sin ell exotismo
de los mil afeites de un rico "boudoir'.
Tu mano, con tenue matiz sOnrOsada;
tu mano suave como el terciopelo
siempre seductora, siempre delicada.
ManO que parece que fue modelada
nor artes de un bmjo como DonatellO.
Cuando entire mis- manos queda abandonada
-gracil maripOsa que detiene el vuelO--,
cuandO de ella todos los adOrnOs quitas,
mi pObre mirada, ic6mo Sc recrea
viendola desnuda, sin una presea!
iLas joyas mejOres, aun las mas bonitas,
solo favOrecen a una manO fea!
iBendita cien veces, entire cien benditas,
tu mano, de Virgen adorable, sea!
No la apartes. Deiame que a gusto la yea
Esta ihanO tuya, pOr la que suspirO,
que retengo ansiOso arrobadO miro,
es la que, abnegada, cuida tus primores
V, para que ignores del sol los rigores,
sobre tus mejilIas su abanico, tiende;
la que en- lindos huertos en- bellos alcOres,
donde tu hermosura sin igual esplende,
N4 ! i +.
acaricia ninos deshoia flores;
la que en- el reposo de los hospitales,
restafandO heridas- -mitigando males,
indefensas vidas a la muerte arranca;
la que, EN- ell regazo del hogar tranquiIo.
donna esclaviza las hebras de hilO
entire la pureza de la ropa blanca;
la que, en- dignas, lorna niserias indignas
con dadivas-faros de un alma hecha luz:
Ia que reproduce, cuandO te persignas
la sefal perenne de la Santa Cruz;
La que reza, cura, socorre labOra
con tales beIlezas yirtndes tales
que, a cada momento- isiempre seductora.-,
mi amor inspira nuevOs madrigales
Yo que de ambieioso blasone hasta ahora,
victima voy siendo de mis- convicciones,
porque al yer tu mano,l como nunca bella,
mientfas que mi vista Sc rinde ante ella,
renace en- mi pecho Mi afan de ambiciones;
teniendO tanto ya YES que te miro
por mi afan. que pide siempre con exceso,
va tn mano ceso de niirar. aspire
asqne td me deies darte, en- ella. 1n beso.
iQue accedes? iQue bnenaI Cual Dios sOberanO
tienes en- tn mano mi vida mi muerte
Dicta mi sehtehcia. iQuien fuera gitano

In speaking about intimidation OF
voters conditions are much different
than they used TO be as a Burlington
man found out,
Years ago il was the practice for this
Burlington manufacturer to call in his
help and tell them how to vote They
generally did as they were told as they
wanted to hold their Jobs.
Some different this year At the reg.
ular round up OF the help just before
the primaries they We're told TO vote
for certain candidate for governor.

swer that came back sharply. Now.
we are going to tell you where you get
off You vote for our man for governor
or we quit work. You can't tell us how
to vote any more"
The manufacturer was taken com
pletely off his feet and thought it was
a joke He soon found out that the
men meant business and he gave in.
He had to or else lose his help. The
men had simply used same intmda

A DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FUND

A DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FUND.

the total should run as high as a mil
lion dollars. Il is, indeed a slack time
politically when one Of the two great
parties has been able TO collect only
Sl2s.S2l less than two months before
the election. So slack are the collec-
