Francisco Mariana Quinones, States
man is Mourned by Populace.
Francisco Mariana Quinones, one
of the leading figures in Porto Rican
history, died at San Juan Monday.
He was born in 1880, and after hay-
ing travelled and studied in Europe
for number of years, took up his
residence in New York, but remained
there only short time. He returned
to Porto Rico and showed such deep
interest in the welfare of the island
that mis- name obtained prominence
in the black list of those whom the
Spaniards considered Suspicious ;,
Notwithstanding this, he was one OF
three commissioners at a conference
in Madrid in 1866, in which he strong
ly urged the abolition of slavery,
which result was attained in 1873.
Senior Quinones was elected mem
her of the Spanish cortes and after
ward was president of the provisional
autonomous government. After the
occupation of the island by the
Americans he was elected to the legis-
islative assembly and was the first
speaker of the house. Later he was
elected by both houses historian of

1t is often desirable to build the
cellar wall of cement whether the
house itself is built the same way or
not. The lower part of the wall may
be built without an outside form if the
ground is firm enough to maintain a
perpendicular cut long enough to mix
the cement and shovel it in In such
cases it is only necessary to put up
temporary boarding to form the inside
of the wall up to the grade line. Then
stakes may be driven and boarding
placed inside of them to build the

"Who's Brown" Tonight.

The largest audience of the pres ent week greeted the Dudley Stock Company at the Forest Park theater last night, when 'Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde" was the offering. In the title roles MT. Dudley surprised his most ardent admirers with his work. The weird play was presented in its en- tirety and the cast was excellent. The company will present 'Who's Brown again tonight, special re- quest having been made for it's repro duction here. This is one of the fun niest bills in the company's repertoire
 The particular bright star of this company is Mir. Frank Dudley, who bears the reputation of being one or the most handsome and graceful ac- tors on the stage today in repertoire. Aside from his good looks and grace ful manner, Dudley is blessed with talent of the right sort, and an artis- tic temperament that holds his audi ence in never-ending, never-fagglnS interest in the actors character. One of the many reasons advanced for Dudley's great popularity is his abil- ity to retain a different and distinct type for each character portrayed

POSSIBILITIES OF DEER FARMING
Department of Agriculture Tells How

Imaginative city folk who love to talk
about the joys OF farming and plan TO raise
very profitable crops Of recondite commod-
tiles, like squads. turtles, frogs legs and
ginseng. will be pleased to learn that there
is big money in a deer farm, The stately

might keep a few pastured on the vacant

Wild bull elks should be kept in a strong
Enclosure.
A Washington breeder who began raising
deer in 1874 sells the animals for breeding
purposes, the bucks bringing $50 each and
the does $75, He feeds corn and a mixture
Of bran and meat, also wild forage in sum
mer. The animals prefer the rankes,
weeds to the choicest grass. An Iowa deer
farmer plants weeds of all kinds to supply
his stock with the catholic diet which they
prefer. A Missouri farmer with a herd Of
Virginia deer says that no domestic animal
except the goat requires so little feed and
attention. The greatest expense is the
fencing, and 1t. is a troublesome matter to
bring up the fawns as pets. The st. Louis
Park and Agricultural company has 400
deer and elk in Z. 5,OOO-acre preserve In

The reason for this is that the really fine
and valuable house of the farmer is fast
going TO ruin for lack Of paint, a cir
eumstances that greatly embarass his
daughters and disgusts his ncighbors, to
whom the weather-beaten and scaly
structure has become an eyesore.
Burkhart is an ardent Democrat, and
upon the defeat Of "siNtecn-to-one'
twelve years ago registered a solemn vow
that he would not paint his house until
that great commoner, William j. Bryan,
was elected president Of the United
States. When the fearful vow was made
the house was in good condition as re-
CARDS paint, but the rain and sun of
twelve years nave wrought sad havoc
with it.

that Farmer Burkhart's house painting has

Is the interest that some Of the nsighbors
have expressed their intention Of voting

saved to the family.
This opens up a new line of thought and
suggests a plan that ought 70 insure the
accomplishment Of two great ends, viz
the election Of Mr.. Bryan and the painting
Of Burkhart's house. Let all OF his follow

Care and Cost.
The increase of elk under demonstration
is equal TO that Of cattle. The weight Of
an adult ranges from 800 to 1000 pounds,
and the percentage of dressed meat is
greater that with cattle. Mr.. Russ says
that elk meat can be produced in many
sections of the country at less cost a pound
than beef, mutton or pork. while quota
tions for venison range between 40 cents
and $3.50 a pound. Large areas of rough
and u~nproductive lands, as in the Ozarks
and the Alleghanies, could be used for
raising elk. A valuable quality Of the elk
is his natural enmity 10 dogs and wolves.
A few elk in a L.OOO-acre pasture for cattle,
sheep and goats will absolutely protect
these animals from all wolfish intruders.
1t might be added that the elk will some
times not even let their owner intrude. A
four-foot woven wire fence is said to be
sufficient to confine a herd, and the cost

posts is cheap in 500 a mile. 1t is not ex-
