AMBITIOUS PORTO RICANS
Men, Women and Children Are Intel IIgent and Anxious to Learn
 from BOOka-

The Puerto Rican is mentally acute. The children learn with surprising ease and quickness. Boys and girls eight and ten years of age will do a sum in long division on the board without showing the process; doing the multi plying and subtracting mentally, and only setting down the figures of the quOtient with the remainder. 1 have talked with men and women in the poor quarters of several cities and towns, have seen the peasant in the field and in the market place, and did not find one' with slow wits or dense ignorance of or-' dinary affairs. A wOrkingman told me of a class of laborers he had formed in Arecibo who studied at night to prepare themselves for the educational test re- quired for the franchise. He said they made rapid progress in learning to read.
 The fact of illiteracy is not due to lack of intelligence, but rather to lack of opportunity, and the lack, also, of stimulus. The peasant has not been able to see how he could improve his condition by education. The merean- tile and the banking business were all most exclusively in the hands of the Peninsular Spaniards- It was next to impossible for native to get position of any kind in one of these houses. They preferred young men from Spain. relatives if they had them These young men would begin at the lowest round in the ladder, sleep in the store live in the most economical fashion, and trust to experience and opportunity for advancement, which seldom failed to come. When the heads of the house re- turned to Spain with competency, to live the rest of their days in ''Graeia," the newer part of Barcelona, the clerks would succeed to the business.-Forum-

HONORS ARE EVEN.
Practical Jokes Two Maine Men Play on Each Other for
 Pastfme.

In a certain city in the state of Maine, call it Lewiston, for example, live two men that for years have been playing practical jokes on each other. but SO far it has been ''srand-ofr'. -s tween them. One of the men keeps "a z feed and grain store, the other is the owner of trucking business, one team of which he drives himself.
 On rainy day not very long ago the grain man asked the truck man if he could tell him where he could find a rent for friend of his that wanted 10 move into the city from neighborinR town The truekman replied that he could, and invited the grain man to get into his team with him and would show him the rent. The trucs man drove slowly along the differei streets through the pouring rain, unti f at last he drove up before the grainl mans store.
 Well, where's the rent you prsmised to show me?" said the grain man, wffh. considerable indignation.
 Why, there it .is," said the truck man, as he pointed to bag in the bot ecAu NA tAC NdEOn NAtn AdIRe QO1c la 1t, there is the rent"
 Time went on. and although the grain man was ehaffed considerably about rents, he took it all good-naturedly, and patiently bided his time.
 About month later, after the joke had almost been forgotten, the truck man was employed by the grain man to go to the outskirts of the city and get trunk and bring it to the store. It was a long ride out to the place, and the rain made it all the more uncomfort- able
 Arriving at the place, the trunk was put in the team, and the truckman iE - due course arrived at the store, only to be informed that he uas to take it to another place, where the proprietor of the grain store would be found. Arriv- ing at the last-named place, he asked - the grain man where he wanted the trunk put, and was told to put it in the rent" he had shown the grain man a short time before. Up to date honors are easy.-Portland (Me.) Express.

Poprtulists SPLIT.

party have agreed to SO their devious

sion all along: they resented the idea of
having their identity sunk in the DEM

straIght-out nominations. Besides they
