in his breast. Among us here, he spent
his youth. Since then he has Travelled
far, but wherever he has been, the
sweet, CELESTIAL tones of his voice
have charmed the people, the ringing
music of his song has made hearts
lighter. Even in the distant metropo-
lis of this nation, matched with the
greatest singers, has he brought thou
sands to their feet in ecstacy. But,
with all his triumph. he has ever re-
manned a true San AntOnian at heart.
