for a handsome book, "'Carpenter's
Geographical Reader"-Asia. The
book was written by Frank G.. Carpen-
ter, the well known press co~rrespon-
dent, and the numerous illustrations

times, and especially so at this time.

book, but it is SO interesting that whole
families would be glad to hear il read
aloud. Send 60 cents to the above

London, May 12.--The Evening News
of this city today publishes q dispatch
saying a cable message received from
Port au Prince, Hayti, that
nine American warships are lombard
ing San Juan de Porto Rico, and adds
the Notifications Of that place are
rapidly crumbling under the fire of the
American fleet.
The bombardment of San Juan de
Porto Rico Is held here to indicate that
Rear Admiral Sampson has a pretty
accurate knowledge of the whereabouts
of the Spanish squadron, at any rate,
that it is too far distant to interfere
with his proceedings.
The news was fully expected today
Of the tall of San Juan and that
Admiral Sampson has sufficient force
handy to land and hold the place. If
his feat will be regarded as almost
as dashing as Dewey's. 1t is supposed
the news that the bombardment
had begun was dispatched by someone
who had command of che wires at San
Juan or permission to send a message.

A AIatron's Lecture on the Most IndepeDd-
ent Woman.
Woman Is by nature dependent. In
deed. there is no such thing as an all
around independent woman. Few men
are wholly independent. Many young
women calling themselves girl bachel-
ors think that they have sought and
found real Independence Then there
are the aggressive spinsters who are
firmly convinced that they alone OF
al! womanhood are truly independent.
They join in with the girl bachelors
and pity their married sisters for being
tied TO man. The married women do
not answer them, for they are satisfied
with their lot as rllc. Aud well they
may be. for the most independent wom-
an In the world is the woman who is
not only married but also mated. Some
people say that woman poorly mar
ried is happier than the woman not
married at all. A matr0n gave two
girl bachelors some points along this
line not long ago. They spoke to her
m rather patroniz;ng way about her
not being able to join in one Of their
larks because she was married; it was
like touching match to kerosene.
Such talk shows your Ignorance"

Mnps Of Whitley Forge.

1t is somewhat remarkable that the
only known maps OF the Valley Forge
encampment during the winter OF l777-
rs were made HI own 20 an American
as late as last year, when Judge
Pennypacker discovered them in AM
sterdam and that presented before the
Sons of the Revolution on their visit
to Valley Forge recently, they will
only become known to the American
public when published in the society's
yearbook. The series of maps now In
Judge Pennypacker's possession ana
made originally by a French engineer
with the American army. include not
only careful drawings of the Valley
Forge encampment, but plans also OF
The battle-fields OF Pennsylvania and
New Jersey.
1t is understood that the plot OF tho
Valley Forge encampment modifies
materially the traditions concerning
the camp. showing the location OF
troops where heretofore no troops have
been supposed to have had their en-
campment. The careful Hollandey
who contributed 80 heartily to the
American cause appears to have COM
tributed the last chapter to the his
tory OF the cause by preserving these
maps until they fell into the right
hands.

All Hawk. M. Harmful.


The instructive dislike OF all kinds OF
every human being. is just about as
unrcasoning as the antipathy shown by
a man with gun for any and every
kind OF hawk that happens to come
within range. 1t is q hawk, and az
such it should be killed; that seems
to be the idea that is predominant. AS
a matter OF fact there are really very
few hawks that are harmful even in
the smallest degree to game birds and
game animals. The large majority are
as useful to farmers as the house-cae
is to the housewife; they quarter the
fields like setter or pointer, but they
are not bent on looking for a quail:
their favorite game is field mice, and
every farmer knows what field mice
can do to his crops For this reason
the annual slaughter of all kinds Of
hawks while on their Northern flight
is something pitiful. A sportsman's
Journal, few months ago, devoted
column or SO TO the doings of a certain
gunner who resides near the Atlantic
Highlands. The Highlands are right
in the path annually taken by tho
hawks on their way from their winter
resorts and this year Mr.. White, the
party III question, Is reputed to have
killed large numbers of hawks of all
kinds If Mr.. White and his kindred
spirits would devote themselves SOLE
ly to the sharp-shinned hawks that ara
so destructive to game and chickens.
they would be doing some rear good to
the cause of game protection, but to
ruthlessly destroy any hawk that is
flying over. Just because it Is a hawk
and not protected by law. is an outrage
from the naturalist's and humanitars
ian's point OF view.
