Cost of Living In Porto Rico.

hish-priced, even with the exchange Of sill

widdie in his special correspondence to Har-
per.s Weekly from that island. The Ameri-
did the Spanish army, and. as a result, prices
haye risen, controlled to. some; extent also by
the fact that the Porto Ricahs have discovered
that Americans are more prodigal with their
means, and are willing to pay higher prices.

also at the Hotel Francois in Ponce-whch
are the leading hostelries Of these two cities
the daily rate, including IL o'clock break
fast. g. O'clock dinner, and sleeping room, is
1915. Coffee, eggs, and bread in the cafe
IN the early morning are called an extra,
which brings the daily bill up to $425 Span
,ish . or, at the prevailing rate Of exchange,
about. $2.76 American, per diem. The serv-
ice one receives in return for this would, in
the United States, be considered high-priced
at $1.5O. 1t will be found difficult to live
under $50 Spanish per month anywhere on the
island, whether hotels Or. private boarding
houses are patronized "a. ~. -.

Sioux City. Journal The whoop Of the
red-skinned, huntsmen was answered in ra-

Turtle. Dove, who: lived years ago in
Bears Gulch, in the Black Hill of the Da-
kotas, had. one little babe, q boy, whom
she called Sage Cock, and a girl Of five
named Ohotev.f It was her custom when
she daily gathered seeds in the valley to
carry Sage Cock about on her back, as
Indians do, but one day she grew so tired
of her burden that she laid Sage Cock,
who was fast asleep, under a sagebush
and told ohoteu to watch him. Turtle
Dove went further and further down the
gulch, and while she was away an old
witch, who had been watching her chance,

QUEEN LENA
Miss Purdy Will Rule In Phoenis
Carnival Week

Miss Lena Purdy was elected queen
of the carnival yesterday by a plural
ity of rs votes. Miss Gala Mills was
second and Mrs. w. p. Cleary third.
The balloting closed promptly at y
o'clock last evening and the various
members of the committee conducting
the election proceeded to visit the va
rious polling places and gathered UP
the votes. The canvass was made in
Buxton's store in the presence of an
interested crowd of spectators and was
carefully verified at every step taken.
Those witnessing the count were thor
oughly satisfied that it was conducted
with honesty and fairness to the Diff
ferent candidates.
The voting, it was found, centered on
the three leading candidates. The an
nouncement of Miss Riordan's with
drawal from the contest was MADE
early in the day and her friends in
