DEATH OF HARRY PITNER LEAKE. lExtracts Culled From “La Revista de ' Puerto Rico,” “El Tiempo,” and Other Porto Rican Papers. “The death of Judge Harry Pitner Leake was one of the saddest events that has gone into the American his tory of the island. He was not a very rugged man to begin with, but none of his many associates had the re ‘motest idea that the grim messenger ‘was so close to the heels of this very ‘lovable young man. On Monday, one !week before his death, we called with ‘other friends at his home on Cerro street, and, while he was ill, yet his good cheer and hopeful future seemed apparent. There was no reason for anticipating the dramatic end so soon to come. “Mr. Leake was removed from his home to the Municipal Hospital on Easter Sunday and the end came the Wednesday follewing, April 10. He suffered from uremia. “Harry Pitn'er Leake was born in Marietta, Georgia, thirty-six years ago. He came to Porto Rico in 1899, and was attached to the office of the ad jutant-general until the following year. when he became official stenographer of the United States District Court. Later he became associated with Judge N. B Pittingil in practice of law, and afterwards practiced his pro fession in Ponce. During the years 1910 and 1911 he acted as judge of the District Court of Guayama. The long trial of the election case, over which he presided, demonstrated his integrity and ability. It may be said in all sincerity that Porto Rico never had a truer friend than Harry Pitner Leake, who lived the last twelve years of his life in this fair island. “It was Mr. Leake's intention to go to the United States by the steamer ‘Coamo’ last week, but just before the ship sailed his physical condition be came so serious that the physician or dered him to bed. “He leaves a mother and a sister, wnho arrived from New York on the steamer ‘Philadelphia’ two days after Mr. Leake had passed away. “Mr. Leake was a member of the Roman Catholic Church, and on the day prior to his death he was visited by Bishop Jones and received such comforts and congolations as his re ligion offered. “At 4 o'clock Thursday, April 17th, the funeral services were held over the mortal remains of the young man at the Military Hospital. Rev. Father Doherty, army chaplain, officiated. Later the body was interred in the San Juan cemetery by Morro Castle on the Sea; and it is quite fitting, as he loved this island as a son his mother. The San Juan Lodge of Elks conducted the services at the grave side. “Hon. Willis Sweet, past exalted ruler of the lodge, and a warm friend of the late Judge Lieake, delivered an address. Many Americans and Porto Ricans made brief and appropriate remarks. “Judge Leake was efficient, able, honorable, lovable, and his early tak ing off just in the prime of early man hood appeals strongly to the sympa thetic side of our natures. His ambi tion was to continue on the bench, and next to become assistant attorney general, which he would surely have realized. “Dr. Sam C. Bothwell, clerk of the Supreme Court, was appointed cus todian of the estate of the decedent to serve until a permanent adminis trator is appointed. *“Mr. R. B. Noyes, a close personal friend of Judge Leake, has been ap pointed by his mother, Mrs. Sarah Louisa Pitner Leake, permanent ad ministrator. “Mrs. Leake and Miss Marie Pitner Leake sailed for New York April 27th on the steamer ‘Philadeiphia.’” Fine-Feathered Vulture. In the South American forests is found the most beautifully colored of all vultures, and it is the true king over the black vultures and turkey buzzards. Its plumage is of a deli cate cream, with black quillg, and the head is brilliantly colored with red and orange. Getting Down to Facts. - “I shall make it a rule,” said the - young man who is learning politics, “never to go back or my friends.” “An excellent rule,” said Senator Sorghum, “but the real test of the game is to keep your friends from go ing back on you.” : T DIAMOND ;I\ L NS \\3‘\\\;\ o‘ “— — 2 <’ Rp' Bt° (s G o, Tuse eo'eee™ T T 3 Susepe ey cov o P Vtog, LADIES o, Ak your Druggist foo CHI-CHES-TRER'S DIAMOND BRAND )} ILLS in RED an?

CRIES TO GET ITS OWN WAY Chlid Scon Learns to Know the Effest of Tears on Mother, Declares an Authority. A mother can seldom withstand the tears of her baby, especlally if it is her first baby. And yet the fear that babies’ will cry, or the mother’s soft ness of heart, accounts for much of the over-indulgence of children. As soon as a child finds out that a mother is perfectly willing for him to cry if he likes, and as long as he likes, and that it doesn’t disturb her in the least, but she just sits complacently (outwardly!) by and reads or sBews, crying loses its virtue and life from that lesson on grows decidedly more sunshiny. For most of the crying of a young child is done deliberately be cause the child soon finds out that it is the way to get what it wants. *I know it is wrong to give In to my child when he cries,” said a mother recently, “but I do it for the sake of the neighbors.” This feeling for the neighbors is penny wise, pound fool fsh. In the first place anyone who lives near babies expects to hear them cry more or less, because all babies cry. But no baby cries so much as the one whose mother is so afraid of his crying that she is always trying to prevent it. Hard-hearted it may sound, but the common sense fact remains nevertheless that the crying of a young child shall have no weight whatever in his management, except as a symptom. In itself cry ing is not serious; on the contrary, it {8 healthful. A mother must decide whether the crying is a symptom of pain, weariness or of temper. But having decided that, she must treat the pain, the weariness or the tem per, but never the crying itself.— Ladies’ Home Journal. HAVE PRIVILEGE OF CREATION Consolation for Women Who Do Not Enjoy All the Advantages They See Others Have. Women are taught very wrongly about love. They are allowed to read love stories at a tender age and form a totally fatal notion of love. They see themselves as charmers at a very early age. They begin trying to captivate, to charm, to enslave the opposite sex, before they are out of the nursery. They live and die— many, many of them—without ever in the least understanding the truth about love or, In fact, about anything else. Women are very envious by nature. There seems to be plenty of Justifica tion in this one way you look at it. Why should one woman have luxury, ease, travel, society and flne clothes and another woman have only tofl and loneliness and privation? This i 8 a useless question. We cannot explain the inequalities of life, but there is an answer to the woman who asks this question. It is this: The more barren the field the greater the privilege of creation. You have a chance to see what you can find by the way of joy and beauty; you have an opportunity to create your own at mosphere and it can be a very lovely one if you learn the secret of making it so.—Pittsburg Leader. Sounds Like Good Logic. Recently, several educators came to the conclusion, after a lot of argument and discussion, that it is useless to teach girls higher mathematics and logic and that the time should be de voted to giving the girls a more prac tical training that will fit them to be housewives and mothers. It is much better, say the educators, to teach cooking, housekeeping and nursing. So far as logic is concerned, the edu cators point out that the minds of young women can be disciplined just as much, if not more so, by putting them through rigorous courses in what will be of practical benefit to them in life. It further is argued that mathematics and such studies do not help a woman to be a better com panion to her husband, for he uses those things only in his business, and a woman rather should study things that can be of help to him in his hours of relaxation, Strenuous Exercise. They were talking abeut the value of regular physical exercise, and one of the group, noticing that Meredith Nicholson, the author, seemed pretty fit, asked him what he did to keep in condition. “Who, me?” he exclaimed. “Why, I don’'t need any calisthenics or things of that sort. 1 live in a house on the sunset side of the street, and I get all the exercise my system needs in build ing the fire every morning.” “That doesn't seem to offer much chance for exercise,” remarked a friend. “What kind of fire is it you build, wood or coal?” “Neither,” replied Nicholson. “We use gas, and I have to scratch a match every time I light the fire.” Ancient Land Grants. Among the Jews the private owner ship of land seems to have been es tablished from the earliest times, as we learn from the purchase of land by Abraham when he secured the Cave of Macphelah for a family tomb, and the story of Ruth and Boaz. Assyrian, or rather Babylonish cylinders of clay still preserve the transfers of land, and the names of humble grantors and grantees, whose names and petty bargains have survived for ages all record of the magnates whom they en vied and obeyed.—Charles Winslow Hall, in National Magazine. ALL FOND OF FINE APPAREL Soberness of Costume Not a Marked Trait With the Men Who Helped Make Nation. John Hancock, thin in person, six feet in stature, was very fond of orna mental dress. He wore a wig when abroad, and a cap when at home. A man who visited Hancock one day at noon, in June, 1782, describes him as dressed in a red velvet cap lined with fine white linen, which was turned up two or three inches over the lower edge of the velvet; a blue damask gown lined with silk; a white silk stock; a white satin embroidered walstcoat, black satin small clothes, white silk stockings and red morocco slippers. Washington, at his reception in Phil adelphia, was dressed in black velvet; his hair was powdered and gathered behind in a large silk bag. His hands were incased in yellow gloves; he held a cocked hat with a cockade on it and its edges adorned with a black feather. He wore knee and shoe buckles, and at his left hip appeared a long sword in a polished white leath er scabbard, with a polished steel hilt. John Adams, on the day of his inauguration, was dressed in a full Buit of pearl-covered broadcloth, and his hair was powdered. Chief Justice Dana of Massachusetts used to wear in winter a white corduroy surtout, lined with fur, and held his hands in a large muff. The justices of the su breme court of Massachusetts wore, until the year 1793, robes of scarlet, faced with black velvet in winter, and black silk gowns in summer. At the beginning of the last century powder for the hair became unfashionable. tying up the hair was abandoned, col ored garments went out of use, buckles disappeared and knee breeches gave place to trousers.—New York Press. THAT MOST WONDERFUL BABY Surely Young Mother Had Good Rea son to Be Proud of Her Remark able Offspring. It takes a baby to appreciate a baby —or a mother. A writer recounts the conversation between the mother of a very new baby and a caller who had professed a somewhat academic inter est in the infant. It was immediate ly brought forth for inspection. “You know,” she exclaimed, “every mother thinks her baby 18 the best in the world, but mine just proves it.” “What does he do?” “Everything.” “Does he walk?” “Walk! Why, he's only six weeks old! But just let me hold him in my arms, and see how perfectly he exe cutes the Highland fling.” “Er—can he say ‘mamma?’ “Oh, no. But he can imitate a steam engine.” llHow?l! “He puffs out his little eheeks, so, and says ‘Oo! Oo!'” “Can he—er—crawl?” “You silly man! Of course not; he's much too young.” “What else can he do?” “Now, you watch him as I take him up in my arms. See how he smiles at me, and notice how inteligently he— breathes!” Oldest Metal. A recent paper presented to the Royal Institution at London, in dis cussing the question of the metals used by the great nations of antiquity, pointed out that gold was probably the first metal known to man because it is generally found native. The old est metallic objects to which we can assign a probable date are thought to be those found in a royal tomb at Nagada in Egypt supposed to have been that of King Menes. In one of the chambers were some bits of gold and & bead, a button, and a fine wire of nearly pure copper. If the tomb has been properly identified, these ob jects are at least 6,300 years old. Near ly all the ancient gold that has been examined contains silver enough to give it a light color. It was gathered by the ancients in the bed of the Pactolus and other streams of Asia Minor.—Harper’'s Weekly. Rare Word. The news dispatches told the other day of the death of an old man who had known a little of fame in his na tive city, the pleasures of riches and then the agonies of poverty. As the doctors told him he had only a short time to live, he said: “It's been tough, but I think that on the whole it's been interesting.” Death is everywhere, as it always has been. But for most of us it {s hid den. No more, as it was once, is death the commonplace sight, the thing to meet the eye on every side. It is pleasanter for life that this is so, yet, because of the fact, there are fewer philosophers in the world, fewer persons conscious of the inevitable, fewer still who, when their summons comes, can be easy and cheerful and dle little mindful of troubles and wounds endured, and with a fair word for the pleasures experienced. Impudent Jack. Delle—l don't speak to Jack any more. Nelle—What's the trouble? Delle—l told him the ladies’s aia approved the way I dressed my hair and he had the impudence to ask if it was ratified. Consideration. “Do you want your wife to vote?” “I don’t mind,” replied Mr. Growcher, “But I hope they don't make election day costumes too expensive.” News Item, Everything quiet around here, but our neighbors in Lindeau will have gas soon. Poor Piscatawaytown lis still asleep to improvements.—Raritan (N. J.) Independent. Must Take Wife to Theater. Solomon Holm of Langley avenue promised Municipal Judge Sabath to buy his wife a box of candy and take her to a theater once in a while, Holm was arrested while fighting with his wife. The case against him was dis missed after he made the promise.— Chicago Tribune. NOTICE, TAX PAYERS. The tax assessors have finish €d their work and the books are on file with me.
