PoRro RIco,s coMMERcE.

Porto Rico has long been a more pro-
ductive colony for Spain than even
Cuba itself, and has steadily been
growing in commercial and agricu.-
tuTal importance. The greater part OF
this commerce, let il be remembered,
has long since veered over to the
United States. According to the latest
available statistics, American trade
with Porto Rico has beef gaining at the
rate Of s3,OOOOO each year. The col
ony's annual exports to Spain, for IN
stance, have amounted to something
like $6,OOO,OOO of late, while those OF
America amounted TO SIS, 600, 600 Yet
all this whi.e there has been an un-
doubted depression of trade, partly be-
cause of the war and the unsettled
state of business preceding It, and part.
ly because OF the recent changes IN our
tariff which have seriously affected the
sugar trade OF the West Indies, already
suffering acutely from the development
Of the beet sugar industry. This Sum

has only served to emphasize the STATE
Of affairs.
Porto Rico has had to suffer with
the others. for there as well as else
where in the West Indies the stapls
products are sugar and molasses
though the cultivation Of coffee and TO-
bacco Is said to be encroaching upon
the profits OF the sugar planters. Other
lucrative exports are fruit, guano, liy'

CHOW IS YOUR SISTER 2"
A Tragic story of Ex-senator RAN
SONS Abstracted Way of Ask
ing Questions.

Former Minister to Mexico Ransom
was in the house few days ago talking
about his experiences in Mexico. After
the minister left the cloakroom one OF
the members said:
did you ever talk to the minister
when his mind has been occupied with
business2" and without waiting for
a reply the member continues: IL did.
met him soon after his return from
Mexico, and after we shook hands, he
said:
"How is your sister, Frank?
"'She is well,' said.
The minister's mind then returned
to some business for five minutes, and
then he said:
"'How is your sister, Frank? and.
as before, replied that she was we'll
Five minutes later he raised his eyes
from some papers and remarked;
"'Oh, Frank, how is your sisterg. /
thought the conversation was becom-
ing rather monotonous, and to change
it l answered that she was very i'll.
"'Bless me, you don't say so; | am
sorry to hear ii, Frank
"He turned to his papers again for
another five minutes, and hang me Il
he didn't turn around and say:
Prank, how is your sister? At first
thought he was guying me, but look

had forgotten the conversation aud

extending his hand in most sympa-
thetic manner, adding: This is dread

about it,
why l replied, I killed her JUS
now. When came in your office 4 told
you she was well twice; then told yor
she was very Ill, and that didn't impress
you. So for your benefit have just

bank Notes Under Gravestope.

Berlin cemeteries are now infested by
people who try TO lift the gravestones
In the hope Of finding bank notes under
them. Gruenenthal, the government
bank official who is accused Of having
appropriated either misused bank notes
or notes withdrawn from circulation,
had picked out graveyards as hiding
places for his plunder. Large sums
have been found by the police under
three gravestones already.-N. Y. Sun.

"Ah." replied the general, with great
satisfaction, NOW we have an oppor-
tunity to see what our taclr-throwing
mortars can do. Let them open fire at
once"
In three minutes the intervening
ground was strewn with taclSs and the

INEXPENSIVE ARTICLES.
uinty Trines for Decoration or Use
Which May Be Obtained al
Small Cost.


There are many articles which can be
made quickly at small expense which
change the appearance Of a rather bare
room into that of very coy one. For
u match safe cut a piece of water color
paper in the shape of large heart.
In the center cross two common clay
pipes which have been gilded and fas
tended where they cross with bow o.
bright ribbon. On the bottom place a
strip Of coarse sand paper. Splash the
edges carelessly with gold paint and
hang with a ribbon of the same shade
as that used on the pipes.
A cushion top of bolton cloth worked
with moss rosebuds and leaves is very
effective. This may be used over a round,
square or long cushion, the top being
shaped to correspond with the cushion.
Theeushion should first be covered with
silk or satin. Put rufiie of lace around
the edge of the bolton cloth and fas-
ten it 20 the cushion at each corner with
ribbon bows of the same shade as the
cushion.
8. Mats for hot dishes may be cut from
asbestos and covered with a light
cream-colored sateen. Work a little
figure on each cover with washable silk,
and then the covers may be removed
and washed whenever they become
soiled.
A table cover of denim, which will
be found very serviceable because It
will bear numberless washings, has for
its Ornamentation geometrical figures
cut from white pique. The figures are
catstitched TO the foundation with
white linen floss. Around the edge of
each figure is a row of white honiton
braid, and the trimming for the edge
is crocheted with coarse cotton and nov
city braid in any pretty pattern.
A cornucopia, which may be used for
a catchall, is made from a square, white
linen hemstitched dolly. Starch the
dolly very stiff, line with yellow silk
and make into the shape Of a horn OF
plenty, lacing the sides together with
baby ribbon through eyelets worked
with yellow silk.
For a court plaster case cut two pieces
of cardboard, each s1s by 21s inches

scented wadding of the exact size OF the
cardboard. Cover both sides of eacl
piece with white ribbon. overhandinl
the edges together. The embroidery
should be done with yellow silk. Sew
the two pieces together at the top, fas
tening in with them several pieces o
court plaster. Put small bow Of yel
low ribbon on the TOP of the case.
p A.eonvenient article for the dressing
case may be made from a jewelers. box
Select one in which dozen spoons o
forks are sent home. Remove the rim
from the cover. Cover the inside ofth
box and one side of the cover with shee

News comes today of the death of
Maj. A. R. Anderson at his home in
Hot Springs, South Dakota Maj. An
derson will be remembered as former
candidate for congress in this district.
He was defeated by Mr.. Pusey, of
Council Bluffs. Two years later, after
the state was re-districted he ran on the
populist- democratic ticket against Hep
burn and was elected. At the expira-
tion of his term he was again candi-
date and Col. Hepburn was his opponent
and at that time the gallant Colonel
was successful. Later, Major Ander-
son removed to Hot Springs where he
has since resided He was in many
ways a brilliant man.

the doctor has seen hard times and

itself, giving one the choice of the best
