the relation was established in the

earthquake would shake down a
chiId's house of blocks. but 1t could

Like virtually all cities built by
the Spaniards in the temperate
zone of South America. Valparaiso
has very narrow streets. These
were laid out, as in Spain, to at
ford shade in hot weather. But
the town has hardly any hot wealth
er, though it possesses an ocean
resort, crowded in summer, where
people bathe and shiver in the
hcilly Homboldt current. To widen
its streets there is a law that sets
the building line Ave feet back
whenever an old structure is torn
down and a new one erected. Prop
erty owners evade this law by re
pairing" old buildings. So long as
any remnant of the old building
remains. apparently the law is sat
isfied. II the city fathers shaved"
all building fronts Ave feet, as was
done with Fifth avenue. in New
York, Valparaiso people would
probably be delighted with the re-
suit. and realize that they had been
deceiving themselves with their
evasive repairs.

I went to hear him.
In . great auditorium.
And the great crowd.
Sat like one hypnotized.
By the spell Of the enchanter.
And a little man.
With a stubborn mustache.
Came and sat beside me-
And while I listened.
To the mournful notes
Inc dir tTcHhuico.
With strange visions.
And all the while.
The little man.
Kept plucking away.
At his stubborn mustache-
Unmindful of the harmony.
That filled the hail.
With the gold Of sound.
And 1 got so nervous.
That I got up and left.
And went over to a club.
And played Kelly pool.
And lost every game.
And I believe in mustsches.
They are very handy.
For a villain to stroke.
When the girl has refused.
To meet him at midnight.
At the old mill bridge.
But I think when a man.
Dresses up his mustachc.
To take 1t to a musicale.
He ought to leave It alone.
A mustache may have a soul.
And like fine music.
And II certainly must be
Very embarrassing for II.
To get all mussed up.
With so many people around.
i don't know the little man.
Who owned this mustache.
But / do know any man.
Who could so deliberately.
Torture an innocent mustache.
Must be a brute at heart.
Probably the kind of man.
Who, sits around all day.
Swatting little flies.
Who never harmed him.
