about 5000, which is covered by insur-
ance. Harper's loss to his household

Stanley w. Bortree, a government
teacher in Porto Rico, delivered a lee
ture in the Simpson Methodist Epis-
copal church last evening to a fair
sized audience on Porto Rico-Its
People, Customs and Schools" The
lecturer is a son of ,ex-Sheriff Bortrec
and is we'll qualified to speak on the
subject He says the islands are 90
miles long and 80 miles wide, with
an area of 3,70O square miles. The
land is rich and healthy, but the
storms there are heavy and severe.
The scenery is magnificent, the hills
are pronounced and clear. San Juan
is a wonderful city, with about $4,000
inhabitants, and the people sleep
wherever night overtakes them. The
houses have no ventilation except
through the entrance doors. Most Of
the houses are one story high and
are elevated three or four feet from
the ground and are without windows.
Fruit is plentiful and bananas can
be purchased for cents a bunch,
pineapples . and cents, and oranges
20 for cents. Coffee is plentiful and
is the principal drink on the island.
In the smaller towns the people live
on plazas and the lower classes live
on low lands. The natives live in fear
Of the United States soldiers, and
carry knives instead of firearms.
The schools have changed since the
Americans invaded the island. The
people are quick to learn, especially
the children, and are anxious to study
the English language. The govern
ment teachers are not permitted to
instruct the pupils in any religious
exercises.
