brief conference with Ex-Governor Stone
of Missouri, and Congressman Richard
son, minority leader in the house of rep
resentatives- In an interview he ex-
pressed satisfaction with the result of
the election in Vermont and Maine He
said he had made no estimate as to what
states the Democrats were likely to car
~ in the November election in case the
per centages Of Republican decrease and
Democratic increase should be maintain
ed in the general election. He added
that he would not make any predictions
as to what states the Democrats expect
ed to carry because he could not tell
how large a vote the Republicans ex-
pected to get in states like Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois
He called attention to the fact that
four years ago the vote in Ohio reached
the unheard Of proportion of one to three
and a fraction Of the population of that
state Heretofore, he explained, If the
vote averaged one TO every five Of the
population everybody considered that a
full vote had been polled- The new Ohio
ratio Of one to every three and a frac-
ton made it extremely difficult to esti-
mate what might happen in the states
of the middle west this year However.

Homa Life In Porto Rica.

To one unaccustomed to tropical con-
ditions the furnishing of the Porto
Rican home would at first sight seem
meager, but it is quite ample. A short
residence will demonstrate that nearly
500 years of experience with the I'M
pleasant features of life in the West
Indies have been crowned by a sur
vival of the fittest in house furnishing
as in other matters.
Austrian bent wood furniture and also
wickerwOrk and willow ware consti-
tute the main equipment of the par
lors and living rooms. Upholstered fur
niture is unknown and undeSired, little
or no attempt being made at decoration
except in the matter of embroidery and
fine handmade lace work. Hundreds
of yards of crochet work are used in
the establishment of a single canopied
bed. This work is the chief delight of
the Porto Rican housewife.
The walls are for the most part bare,
but here and there a painting of merit
may be seen. The sofa pillow is the
one great feature of the home. It is ev-
erywhere, in every conceivable size,
shape and material. Ferns of gigantic
size and exquisite formation, as we'll
as broad spreading palm leaves, are
used to festoon the walls and arched
doorways. Cut fresh from day to day,
they render the dark, cool rooms invit-
ing and attractive. Potted tropical
plants in great variety abound within
and without the house.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.
