PORTO RICo'S POPULATION.
Island Has 264 Persons to the Square
Mile

Island Has 264 Persons to the Square
The results of the Porto Rican cen
sus, taken in October last, show that
the island has 953, 243 inhabitants.
With a population of 264 to the square
mile, Porto Rico is the only densely
peopfed part of our new possessions.
There are good reasons why Porto
Rico should have a far larger popula-
ton, in proportion to area, than Cuba.
The island vas always the favored
colony of the Spanish. For over two
centuries Spain invited colonization.
Lands were allotted gratis, while they
lasted, and settlers were exempt from
direct taxation. The interior, though
very billy, is well adapted for small
farming. Most Of the land is owned
by the ~peasantry in small holdings,
fruit farms predominating, though
there are many small coffee estates as
well as large and small farms raising
sugar, tobacco and cattle. This is
the reason why four-fifths of the popu-
lation is scattered through the rural
districts, and only one-fifth live in
the towns. Porto Rico is notably a
country of small farmers. The island
is still growing in population. Since
1887, the density has increased from
220 to 264 to the square mile. With
good government, more schools, and
larger commercial opportunities, there
need be no pause in the development
of Porto Rico. But not a few observ-
ers believe the island has population
enough. There is little prospect that
an increase in density would be advan-
tageous.

The girl who was the object of the

OF the reproof, for certainly her
thoughts were not upon acquiring the
step of the English chappies, whose
role the twelve young women in line
across the stage were to assume. To

Dorothy Ingledew's
Revenge.

The harvest 0 climbed slowly up
the %cloudless sky, shining white and
clear on the sleeping town at Tun-
bridge Wells. The silence of night was
on the sleeping town. Two women,
closely cloaked, crept stealthily along,
the elder demonstrating.

she whispered.
IF you fear to come with ne, Betty,
I go alone"
NAY, madam, my fears are net for
myself. | know my place better than
to leave my mistress alone to meet
wild Sir Harry Fortescue."
Meanwhile pacing slowly backwards
and forwards in the shadow cast by
high banks half hidden by brambles,
a man waited their approach. AS the
women came into sight he advanced
to meet them.
st is but five minutes by the clock
since I came, madam, yet I dare swear
that the moments have been leaden-
footed as so many hours. The post

heart! But can you not say them as

The moonlight fell full on the group,
as the woman stopped and threw back
her hood. and it shone on her pale,
set face. Seeing it, Sir Harry faltered
and tapped uneasily on the lid of his
snuffboX. 1t did not seem much like
the look to be expected on the face of
a romantic girl who had SO easily fall

have known me as Dorothy March, sir;
know me now as Dorothy ~Ingledew-
sister to the mar you ruined, and
whose patrimony you stole, and to the
woman whose heart you broke"
He scanned the eager face with some
curiosity now. So this explained the
haunting idea that there was some
thing forgotten which the sight of
Dorothy stirred within him. He could
see now the resemblance between the
slender, ~fair-haired Winifred Ingledew
he had tired of and deserted when he
found it SO easy to get the Ingledew
money from her weak spendthrift
brother without numbering himself
with a wife, and this dark beauty, who

NOTED WESTERN ORATOR.
w. ID. O1dham Was a Conspicuous Fig
ure at Kansas City.

w. ID. ldham Was a Conspicuous Fig
ure at Kansas City.
One of the most conspicuous of the
western politicians at the Kansas CITY
convention was w. D. Oldham of Ne
braska. He has long been recognized
as II of the best political speakers in
the west. He has twice before been
a member of the national delegation.
Four years ago he belonged to the con-
testing delegation from that state,
which was shut out of the Chicago
convention at the beginning. AS he
expressed it in a recent speech before
the state convention, they went to Chi
cago without tickets, crawled under
the canvas in momentary fear that
some chap would apply a neckyoke to
the back of their ears, but when thew
finally got inside they captured the
whole show. Oldham has the reputa-
tlon OF being one of the homeliest
men n the state, and he is proud of it.
He is very careless in his dress and
has been variously taken for a cowboy
and a farmer. Oldham's oratorv is of
the e~vangelistic order. He has a COM
mand Of homely phrase, perfervid ex-
hortat1on and broad wit that has made
him a popular favorite at every state
convention, and no gathering of that
sort takes place without a speech from
Bill" Oldham. He is tall and heavily
built, and has all the "earmarks'' of
the typical cowboy of the west in the
matter of dress.

gloomy, the empty seats covered with
canvas. The figures on the stage look
ed weird and fantastic, the hollow, re-
verberating voices changing the scene
from pantomine.
The girl darted a parting look of
scorn at the stage manager, and sat
before a small table, and between puffs
at his cigar Joined the musical direc-
tor in angry shouts at the bewildered
chorus.
"The BRUTE" she said under her
breath. docs he think l will stand
his abuse even to become a star. It's

He didn't know what kept me late,''
she said. still talking to herself and
referring to the stage manager as she
went out on the street-"that / had
that check cashed. Well, he'll scold
somebody else now"
She took from her pocket a small
white envelope bearing the postmark
of a distant country town. For a sec
ond time she read the letter. He'll
come at z. it is 4 now"
Half an hour later she was in her
room, a hall bedroom on the third
floor. Ct am glad for once, it is on the
alley" said the girl, tossing an empty
lunch box out of the open window. 81

outfit any l~onger"-said with disgust

more than bread and cheese and weak
tea. But, maybe, I ought to leave the

She dragged a small trunk from the
closet and started to pack her clothes.

ter little laugh. 81 haven't so many
of them as I had when | came to the
city six months ago. Where's my
watch; it was pawned, and there are
other articles in the same place that I
shall never call for. But it doesn't
matter now. I'm going home"
When the trunk was packed the
girl made an attractive toilet, for the
cloth street dress was well brushed
and neat. and the sailor hat was new.
1t cost the girl a few dinners. She
sat down on the side of the bed, and,
for the third time. drew the letter
from her pocket.
Dearest daughter" it ran. "You
have had your way. You wanted a
career, to make a name for yourself.
If the path is too thorny, and you are
tired of the great, selfish city, one
who follows this letter will tell you
how we are waiting for you to come
home. Father and Mother"
There's a gentleman down stairs to
see you, Miss Tremaine," said the maid
pushing open the door which stood
partly aiar.
81 am coming down." said the girl.
"And you will come back to the old
life. Gracie?" said a big, ~sun-burned
young man a few minutes later, hold
ing the girls small hand in his big
brown one. you will never want to
leave us again."
Il will never leave you again." said
the girl.

young woman, timidly.

with a suspicion of a sob in her voice.

With a market basket filed with
pieces of bank and treasury notes, an
old woman, who said she lived in
Camden, appeared at the s~ub-treasury
in Washington recently, and said she
wanted the bits of money redeemed.
1t required only a hasty examination
for the officials to determine that the
pieces of notes were all from the edges
and corners of bills of various denomi-
nations. The woman refused to say
how she became possessed of the
pieces, and was bluntly told that the
government would allow her nothing
for the remnants Of money, because it
was plainly evident that the pieces
were all clipped from whole notes.
The officials found that though there
were corners and edges of all kinds Of
notes, there was not a piece of a center
in the entire collection. There were
enough bits, however, to equal a hun
dred notes in size, and Judging from
the paper and style Of notes, it had
required about 20 years to collect the
pieces.
