Literature for Soldiers.
;ditor of The Evening Star:


Many appeals for reading matter for the
soldiers have been issued and responded to-,
but in making this request for late maga-
zines for shipment to the soldiers in Porto
Rico feel that statement should be made
regarding the class of literature desirable
for use in the camps and hospitals. Since
the opening of the post at Washington bar
racks to convalescents from other camps
have had ample opportunity to observe
just the kind Of books and papers which
most please the boys"
Those who use the magazines are of two
classes, the first and but a small per cent
of the whole, caring only for the pictures,
while the majority of the men who are
sufficiently interested to ask for reading
matter are anxious to keep informed re-
garding current topics This is absolutely
impossible II the magazines and papers fur
nished bear an old date. Some people i'm
agine they have displayed proper amount
of patriotism If they have cleared their at
tics of an overflow Of antiquated, moth
eaten and dusty magazines and contributed
them to the soldiers. Among the books
sent to the Washington barracks have been
many copies of old cook books, aids to
needleWork, works on scientific subjects,
including the Anthropologcal Magazine,
and innumerable school book catalogues,
all OF which, when new, might have proved
highly entertaining to the particular classes
Oh hulV1duaiS Ior Wnom they were intend
| ed by the publishers, but were not particu-
larly attractive to the sick soldiers 1t Is
needless to say that all such generously
| contributed specimens of the printers art
have found a merited place ontthe dump.
What the soldiers want is fresh timely
reading matter. Such reading will prove
| of double interest to the men now doing
garrison duty in our newly acquired terri
| tory. In order that they shall be supplied
with the late war numbers of our best
magazines, l hereby suggest thai those per-
sons who have extra copies wtl contribute
them for this purpose. The war articles
began to grow very Interesting with the
| July numbers of most of our standard pub
locations, hence any copies not older than
| four months would prove acceptable, and
may be sent to my home from where,
through the courtesy of the depot quarter
master, shall forward them to Porto Rico
early next week ANNA NJ IAISE

SPORTSM MANS PARADISE
Marvellous Spot in the Heart Of the Rocky
Mountains.
Mr.. E. L. Brittingham Tells the Story
of His Recent Annual Trip
and It's Results.

Mr. E. L. Birmingham of the Hotel Ra-
leigh has returned from his annual hunt
ing trip to the game paradise of the
world as 1t is called, in the heart of the
Rocky mountains in Colorado. Mr.. Brit
tingham brought back with him as trophies
of his months sojourn in the wilds the
heads of six bucks of the black-tail deer
family one bearing antlers with nine
points. one having eight, three having
seven and one having four. Five OF the SIX
bucks weighed over 800 pounds each he
also brought back the skin OF a large
mountain lion, which seemed inclined 10
contest the right of trail with him. There
We're ten gentlemen in the party, including
Chief Howe of the Railroad Telegraphers
Association, General Passenger Agent An
drew of the Denver and Rio Grande rali-
road l.. j. Tauquerry of the Denver ana
Rio Grande and William A. Beauchard,
cashier of the Denver National Bank.
Location Of the Grounds.
I'VE hunted and fished along the Will
liams fork of the White river, between
PYRAMID and Pogoda Peak said Mr.. Brit
tingham last night. "It is truly paradise
for sportsmen. 1t is in the very heart OF
the Rockies We left the Denver and Rio
Grande at Rifle and took our wagon train
and went 175 miles into the mountains.
Such superb scenery cannot be easily
found and 1 tell you that constant COM
munion with it for a few days makes a bet
ter man out of a fellow. Game? You never
conceived anything like it. The second day
out l killed a black-tailed buck weighing
over 800 pounds, with seven-point antlers.
It's the only place in the world, l reckon,
where man can pick his deer. You viii
see a bunch with twenty bucks in 1t spread
out before you and can select the biggest
and best and crack away. l killed noun
tain lion, among other things, including
black wolves and bob cats, as they call
'em out there-what we call wild cats
nearer east. They were plentiful as sQuir-
rels.
stopping n Coyote Chorus.
I'VE fairly slaughtered coyotes. The in
ferual things would gather around camp
and squat up about 800 yards off and howl
hke-like coyotes. At last one night 1 got
tired of it. They'd sing for about ten min
utes and then stop. You'd just be dropping
on to sleep. thinkink they were gone, when,
