This is his tenth child. The oldest is now 50 years of age. In his comfortable home at 1007 Broad street, Trenton, Mr. Harding talked to a reporter about the new baby and discussed the most approved way of raleing a family. “There isn't anything wonderful in my belng & father at 73" he exclaimed. “Any man can have the same distinction, provided he has lived soberly and steadily and taken care of his health during his earlier years."” The mother of the child is 23. James Preston, who has just returned from a visit to Porto Rico, tells the Phila- delphia Record: “There are about ffty American school houses in Porto Rico now— the Washington, the Lincoln, the Penn, the McKinley, the Jefferson, the Irving, the Hamilton, and so on—and nbout thirteen hundred pupils are attending them. Ome of the principals pointed out to me a young &irl of 17, very preity, who walked, he ex- plained, twenty miles to and from school | dally, slept on & bare floor and begged | nearly all her food, she was so poor.

The intelligence of the Porto Ricans, their teachers say, is as remarkable as is their thirst after knowledge. No truant officers are needed down there.” A Washington newspaper man recently wrote an article dealing with the size of senatorial fortunes. He put down the two New Jersey senators, Kean and Dryden, for $2,000,000 and $5,000,000 respectively. A day doy or two after the article was published eSnator Kean met the writer and sald: “You put me altogether too high, but con- fidentially you didn't put Dryden high enough.” Half an hour later the news- paper man met Senator Dryden, who said: ( ‘I wish I were as rich you give me credit for being, but you surely know that Kean is worth more than $2,000,000."
