The Situation in Porto Rico.

The situation in Porto Rico, of which
President Taft deemed it expedient to
take notice in his recent special message
to Congress, concerns not only condl-
ton of sentiment in the lower branch
of the legislative body of the island, but
an unrest and dissatisfaction among the
people.
The House of Delegates, which is at
outs with the Executive Council is com
posed wholly of separatists. The sepa,
ratlsts reflect, il seems, the feeling Of
the mass of native Porto Ricnns, who
are beginning TO manifest hostility not
only against Americans who hold Office,
but also against all Americans in tha
island, mhny Of whom are the owners
of plantations, intent upon developing
the industrial resources of Porto Rico
and who would be glad TO keep out of
politics if they could. They have done
nothing to harm their Porto Rican
neighbOrs, but the latter are jealous Of
them because of their success. The typi-
cal Latin American likes to take it
easy" He is not enterprising. IL hurts
his feelings to see aliens who are ener-
getic and make much of natural cppor-
mnties Of which he makes little living
on n scale which he because Of his in,
d0ence cannot afford. If the Porto
Rican would get busy" he could ac~
quire wealth and live in luxury, too
But he prefers slOth. while at the same
time grinding his teeth at the spectacle
of thrifty Americans enjoying the results
of their thrift.
1t is seriously unfortunate that this
state Of mind on the part of the Porto
Ricans prevails, but Americans who
have bought properties in Porto Rico
and are developing them by honest en-
terprise are not likely to get off thc
earth" because Porto Ricans are more
inclined TO jealousy than to industry.
The typographical features of Porto
Rico are not, like those of Cuba, favor
able to partisan warfare Under Span
ish rule the Porto Ricans chafed. but
did not revolt. There are no mountain
Businesses for insurgents to retire 10 in
Porto Rico, and an armed uprising in
Porto Rico is unlikely because it could
not be maintained.
The hostility Of the Porto Ricans is
unreasonable, and they will have to out
grow it. They have no real grievance.
They are not oppressed. They have open
10 them the opportunity to profit If they
will by initiating the thrift Of the Amer
leans. Perhaps they will do it in the
second generation. for their children are
receiving educational advantages that
were not available till ten years ago,
when the Americans established schools
throughout the island.

RACE wAGERS In INDIA.
Natives Method of Choosing a Winner
and Making Bets.

The native of India wagers his money
according to the colors worn by the Jock
eys and takes no heed of the merits of
the horses. or he win back horse rid
den by his favorite jockey, no matter
whether the animal is rank outsider or
not.
His ideas Of gambling, in fact, are dis
tinctly novel. Some of the more wealthy
Indians form rings and back every horse
in the race. thus gaining the satisfaction
of getting winner every time. 1t il
really only of late years that the native
of India has become an habitual gambler
on the turf, and nowadays the bulk OF
the betting of the various racing centers
in India is done by natives. Indeed, the
authorities are becoming somewhat CON
cerned about the growth Of the betting
which takes place among 1ndiahsnatives.
it being asserted that as many as thirty
laos of rupees about E300000) is lost
and won in the course of season.
The ignorant masses have not n great
deal of actual money to wager but so
badly bitten are many of them with the
craze for betting at race meetings that
they frequently wager what little prop
erty they possess on horse, and If they
lose they simply replace their loss by
stealing neighbours goods. The con
sequence is that when the racing season
comes around the police are kept very
busy dealing with cases of petty larceny
and other crimes involving loss of prop
erty.-Tit-Bits.

SHE EARNS $4,000 A YEAR.
Miss Katherine Giles, the Cotton Queen
of Wall Street.

A New York business woman has
proved TO masculine satisfaction that she
can keep Il secret This rara avis is
Miss Katherine Giles, the cotton sta
tistician. who, in her comparatively short
financial career, has frequently hucked
up against the government reports and
has come out with flying colors, beating
men who have grown old in the business
al their own game. In Wall street this
young woman is known respectively as
the cotton queen and as the sphinx. The
sobriquet was given to her six years ago,
ON that memorable December ). when
her report of the cotton crop, differing
from the government returns by a large
percentage, turned the tide of the cotton
market and increased cotton values by
some $1,000 900.
The likening of this pretty and capable
young business woman 10 the sphinx
comes from her inscrutable manner when
anything connected with the cotton mar
ket is the subject of discussion; never by
word or hook does she indicate in the
slightest degree any of the secrets for
knowledge of which some men would
pay good round sums to possess.
1t is estimated that between So, 900
and $4,000 is annually spent by the
government in getting a line on the cot
ton crop from which to compile its an
Huttlsgeaaoety but in this report Miss Giles
thinks ~Fhat there ure many mistakes
Her system of getting at the extent and
condition of the crop is accomplished hy
sending out return postal cards to the
big cotton growers of the south. Among
the twelve states that grow cotton she
annually distributes 5000 postal cards,
the returns from which are tabulated,
the information carefully weighed aud
balanced and an unbiased conclusion as
to the state of the crops arrived at She
then sends out bulletins indicating the
condition of the market to her customers.
Miss Giles attributes her business sue
cess TO the fact that she never specu-
| lates, which exciting game has been the
| Waterloo of more than one statistician
! To quote her own words: "If one speeu-
| lates it is only human nature to be biased
in the direction in which you want the
| market to go. Whether you win or lose
! you forfeit the confidence of your eli
ents. Miss Giles began her business
| life as an assistant in the Office of Il
| cereal statistician in Wall street at sal

| very few women who by their own
| efforts are earning an income of $4,000

Quite Il furry has been caused in ma
rine engineering circles by the an
nouncement from New York that the
Southern Pacific liner Creole, which not
long ago made her appearance with much
eclat in the New York and New Or
leans service, is to have her turbine
engines removed and reciprocating en-
glnes installed in their stead. The reason
for this proposed change is snid to be
extravaganza in coal consumption. The
Creole has required as much rs 1000
tons of coal to make Il round trip tU
New Orleans from New York, whereas
other steamers Of the Southern Pacifc's
Atlantic service have required only from
1000 to 1900 tons.
The Navy Department is deeply inter
ested in the case of the Creole which
is a steamer that cost her owners in
the neigbborhood of a million dollars.
and is therefore one of the highest types
of passenger carriers The government
has made a venture with turbine en-
gines. in the scout cruisers Chester and
Salem the latter having turbines of the
same style as those on the Creole
Moreover, it has contracted for the in
staIlati0n Of similar turbines on the new
battleship North Dakota, which il now
approaching completion 1t will be re
called that in the recent test between
the scout cruiser Birmingham. driven by
reciprocating engines and the scout
cruisers Chester and Salem, the Birm-
ingham made gratifying shOwngS al
though she did not complete the test at
high speed. and that the Salem brought
tip the rear There were hints that the
Salem's engines had been tempered with
or permitted to remain in operation
while in a crippled condition, but these
have not saved the ship from discredit;
and now that the Creole is to have her
turbines taken out there will be some
thing like panic among the advocates OF
that type Of marine engine.
Great Britain has led the way IN the
adoption Of the turbine engine aud thus
far seems to be satisfied with the re-
suits Of the tests. Uncle Sam was there
fore merely aiming to keep pace in the
matter Of speed with the worlds chief
I.aval power. aud cannot be charged with
precipitate action. But the British ships
aud the United States scout cruiser
Chester are driven with the British type
Of turbine. while the Salem and the
Creole are propelled with American
turbines The element of international
rivalry entered into the contest between
the Chester and Salem, although both fly
the Stars aud Stripes, and this element
will again crop to the surface in the
controversy which will be precipitated
by the describing of the Creole's tur-
biup4.

Hardy Chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemums Of the pompon type
Of which eacn plant produces from 40
to 100 blooms, are many of them hardy
enough to remain outdoors all winter in
central and southern ATTITUDES. The
blooms often remain in good condition
until after Thanksgiving.
These plants are the most capable Of
resisting frost Of any flowers. Their
peculiar merit is that they blossom long
after successive frosts have denuded the
rest Of the landscape. Their vivid colors
are so unlike anything else that they
are indispensable in the carefully made
garden.
The flowers are not ruined until their
petals have been wet and frozen stiff.
The plants are necessarily used for
mass effects. as great size is not to be ex-
pected. Masses of red and brown side
by side make a striking combination
Crimson and pink varieties should be
kept By themselves, because their colors
are variable and they make violent
contrast with the yellow. The culture
Of these chrysanthemums is simple. They
need little care and thrive in any situa-
| ton 50 that the soil Is rich. Cuttings
may he obtained from any florist.
