of the expansionist. the merchant. the
patriot and the traveller. but no one
has yet pointed o u what a vista Of
happiness opened to the sportsman
with the raising OF the Stars and
Stripes over Porto Rico.
With this new possession and the ex-
tension Of the Bangor and Arostook
railway to the very edge of the Can
dia wilderness the domain OF the
American sportsman has been length
ened to nearly 1000 miles. and he has
been given the choice of nearly every
climate ranging from 30 n 40 below
zero to more than 100 degrees bow
In Porto Rico there is no big game.
The only large animal is the wild goat,
which is found in the beautiful noun
tain country in the interior of the ISL
and, and these are too much like the
trained ''Billies'' that are harnessed to
chidren's go-carts to be mistaken Cor
the wild creatures OF the woods. But
on the other hand there is an infini-
tude of bird life. especially from No
vember until February. Nearly every
bird which flies south upon the Amer
lean continent finds it's way to the
marsh lands or forests of Porto Rico.
The wild goose and turkey. duck and
ortolan are visitors as regular as the
sunrise and the spring. So rich Is
sport in the interior that already a
movement is on DOT among the hunt
ers OF the North TO open a number of
camps in Arecibo and Ponce. and to
establish a big game preserve many
miles in extent. From Porto Rico the
American sportsman can go to Florida.
where, thanks to the late war. there
has been a mighty spirit of progress
awakened. Roads are extending south
ward and eastward from Tampa, and
southwark and westward from Miami
and Palm Beach. In this district are
deer, bear. wild cats. and IL is said
some monstrous "b~ullgaters." which
inhabit the recesses of the everglades.
Florida ought to be a paradise for the
sportsman. but at present the laws are
so lax that the game is being ruth
lessly destroyed.
Al Tampa, early in the summer. I
met an old darby who claimed to be
a descendant of some long forgotten
Indian chief. He spoke i'm pitiful terms

He laid that in his youth a hunter
could secure several deer in a single
morning. but that now II took 'more'n
a week. to find one: that formerly
there was quite a trade in bears skins
and other furs. but now there were not
more than a dozen bears in the entire
state. and as for caters" they once
could be counted by hundreds. n big
fellows IL and IL feet long at that, but
now they were hunted so relentlessly
for their hides 1t was difficult to get
one five feet long. There is no reason
why Florida should not have the same

forced in New York and ain

The fishing OF Florida I found like
that of Porto Rico. In the waters of
each the tarpon is easily king. but
there are more tarpons in the gulf p
parently than in the Atlantic or the
Caribbean. The best / have seen in
Porto Rico weighed about 80 or 40
pounds and were mere pigmies COM
pared with the magnificent 9~0-pounders
which one finds at the Florida fishing
resorts. Those delicious fishes known
as %grunters or pig fishes i found COM
mon to both the Florida and Porto
Rican coasts. In Florida they are
more varied. no less h six well de-
fined species being recognized. while
cies are seen in the market. Coming
north. there are deer along the Appal-
achian chain reaching an apparent
maximum In Virginia. 1t Is strang
to an observer that this state should
have been so overlooked and neglected
by the sportsman. The climate is ideal
and the range OF territory where game
is found runs from the wilderness OF
the dismal swamps to the mountainous
country of its northwestern corner. IL
has ducks and deer. wild turkeys and
bear, quail and partridge sufficient TO
satisfy an army of nimrods, Inc enough
fish in its streams and harbors TO
please the most captious disciple OF
Izaak Walton.
The lover of the beautiful will find
Virginia an enchanted land. Its fer
tile soil and noble plantations, its clear
and bright streams and rivers. its roll
ing hills and graceful Mountains form
a combination impossible to surpass.
The climax is reached not so much In
the fashionable springs and beaches as

statu. of Woman in Sweden

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The education of the Swedish girl Is sim
liar to that of her brothers, and, If so in
clined, there is nothing to prevent her from
taking an academic course.
The schools which are under government!
supervision supply not only good. but
ample, means of improvement, and the
Swedish woman is a cultivated and a
learned member of society. She is an OBJ
ject of interest to all who meet her, and
holds her place in whatever discussion may
be under way. She is womanly at the same
time and is possessed Of all woman's ac-
accomplishments, but she is intellectual as
we'll.
These northern women hold higher po-
fsition than is gKanted our intellectual wo-
men in England or on the continent of Eu-
rope; In this respect they are more like
American women, and, as in America, the
able women are treated with distinction,
and are honored for their attachments quite
apart from any consideration of birth OF
social attachments.
To a great extent the system OF instruc-
ton as pursued in Sweden is promoting
attention to the education of the girls, and
provides instruction In a manner that
makes those who would be Independent
self-supporting. This In particularly true
of those trained to serve. All grades OF
work are taught. Governesses are trained
to teach, servants are trained to serve, ard
ell intermediate pursuits are open to those
who wish to learn, SO that the girl who il
thrown upen her own Ee1ousces Is fully
equipped for the battle of life. She IL pro-
yided with the implements Of work. and
her labor brings her honor and respect.

Reply to the Mercury.

: N0PAy ~ ZIG HACASuAy.
| Some time ago the Graphic in ~
face of the horrible condition the vol
unteers returning from Cuba and the
southern camps, took occasion tt
criticise President Mckinley and Sec
rotary Alger for their conduct of tht
war. The Mercury called us a cop
perhead and said some very unkini
things about US for presuming to crit
icize Mckinley.
Mckinley may be all right as a mar
but the Graphic lacks the propensity
to view a man with awe and declare
him a God, because his friends bought
the presidency for him. To prove to
our readers that we have been fair in
our criticism, we give few quota
lions from articles in the leading mag
azines, not newspapers, mind you, Or
yellow journals.
Stephen Bonsal writing in McClures
for October says: "The struggle for
life had become so acute that no one
had moments thought to devote to
the Spaniards, War had become sim
ply. a rustic for ratiOrs."
| ''When soldier is living upon
three hardtacks a day, a very little
coffee and a bit of bacon rind, better
suited to clean his rifle with than to
satisfy his stomach, he thinks very
little about Spaniards.
Casper Whitney writing after the
santiago campaign, in Harper's says:
"Then came days of wonderment,
that now, with transportation facili-
es, nothing but bacon, bareback and
coffee were brought up for the wound
ed to say nothing of the we'll. - ''That
wounded, fever stricken men were
allowed to sleep on the ground in the
rain with plenty of brush and Dam-
300 lying around. aud with well sol
diers enough 10 build beds; wonder
that the Caney refugees were permit

First. OF all. infirmity of purpose at
Washington: some excuse can be
found for individuals, but none for
the government. Officers were need
ed at the outbreak of the war who had
| proven their ability to think clearly
and act quickly and who had exper-
fence in organizing. '.Some of these
were at hand-Miles; Merritt, Brooke
and Wheeler and one of those should
have led the Santiago campaign
"The general who led us Shafter
through no especial fault of his, ex-
cept that of being the friend of the
secretary of war, found himself over
whelmed by the scope of an undertak-
ing beyond anything he had ever
known"
Perhaps the greatest blunder was
in arming our volunteers with Spring
field rifles shooting 1000 yards, and
burning black powder, to shoe,
against Spanish rifles shooting ovel
1000 yards and burning smokeless
powder. This was not blunder, il
was criminal
Here you have the criticism of mer
who were at the front. Add to this
the scathing rebukes given Alger and
| Shafter by Col. Roosevelt and Gen
Miles and you can see that the criti
cism of Nc Kinley is not partisan.
