After Hawks.

The sportsmen of the county are unani-
nous in the opinion that a law should be
passed authorizing the county commits
sioners to pay so cents for the head of
every hawk killed in Prince Georges.
The sportsmen submit that these hawks
destroy large number of cartridges and
other game. 1t is claimed that 200 hawks
is a large estimate of the number likely to
be killed in any one year, and that the
tax payers would not object to paying
500 as an inducement to rid the county
of these birds. They not only destroy
cartridges, but frequently carry away the
farmers chickens and other fowl. 1t is
well-known fact among sportsmen that
the hawks make away with more birds in
single season than are killed by the
lovers of the gun and og.-HyattsrWe

The Turning of the Immigration
Tide.

We clip the following from the Breeders
Cozftte, published at Chicago:
To THE GAZETTE:-For two hundred
wears the tide of immigration has been
Westward, steady flow ever since the
country was settled. There are indica
tons now that this Nv estward, H".' cry
would cease and the tide of imm igration
be East instead of West. On January !
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. landed IN
Prince Georges county, Md the heart OF
the tobacco growing country OF Southern
Maryland, eight carloads of stock and
household goods of Whiteside county,
| Ill.,, farmers Included in this shipment
| were seventy horses and cattle, sheep,
| hogs, chickens, farming implements and
everything necessary to go right to work.
Two registered Short thorn bulls were I'M
loaded and swine and horses such as
Southern Maryland men seldom see.
These men are all practical Western
farmers, growers Of cattle, hogs and corn.
The pioneers in this movement were the
writer and his father, who came in 1899.
The attraction is cheap land, good mar
kets, soil that appears to be adapted to
growing corn and grass. The venture of
these Western farmers will be closely
watched by many others in Northern Hi
nois and if successful Southern Maryland
farms will cease to be neglected.
B. L. GIBBS.
Prince Georges Co., Md.
In this connection the following also
appeared in the Baltimore american of
recent date:
Mr.. E. P. Gibbs, of Hardesty, Prince
Georges county, Md, called at the office
of the State Bureau of immigration yes
terday and Informed the secretary Of his
intention to 90 West and at the same time
try to induce some other w estern farmers
to come to Maryland, as he did about two
years ago.
Mr.. Gibbs formerly lived in Illinois, but
is so we'll satisfied with the change he
made that upon his recommendations
already six other families, consisting alto
gether of 90 persons, from Illinois followed
his example and found new homes in his
neighborhood.
Mr.. Badenhoop sent, upon his sugges-
ton, about so pamphlets, with maps of
Maryland, to different people in Illinois
and Nebraska, and is writing letters noti-
flying them of Mr.. Gibbs coming.
Another Western farmer with capital,
Mr. H. H. Huntemann, who was here last
September and spent about five weeks in
different counties of Maryland, wrote to
Secretary Badenhoop that he had sold his
farms in Nebraska, and, despite the fact
that possession would not be given until
December 81, he was going to come to
Maryland in about four weeks, and would
not leave before he had bought his new
farm here.
Mr. Huntemann made small fortune
by raising hogs out West, and he is con-
WINGED that he can do still better in Mary
land, the climate and market being more
favorable here than in Nebraska.

Maryland Topographic Maps.

Within the last few months the United
States geological Survey of Maryland
has issued four quadrangles of the topo-
graphic map of Maryland. They are
drawn on scale of about one mile to the
inch, and show in great detail the towns
and cities of the sections they cover, the
roads, railroads and streams; they also
reveal the relief of topography by con-
tour lines which pass through points OF
equal elevation, thus showing the shape
or contour of the hills and valley and
their altitude above sea level The maps
are named from some important town or
feature shown upon them, the Frostburg
Quadrangle, which includes the towns of
Frostburg and Cumberland and shows the
mountainous country in the western part
of the state; the Leonardtown and Drum
Point Quadrangles, which are adjacent in
the east bordering the PatuXent River and
Chesapeake Bay; and the Ocean City
Quadrangle, showing the country ia
cent to Ocean City and the ocean beach
to above the Delaware line. Other Mary
land map sheets are; the Belair, Snow
Hill, Gunpowder, Princess Anne, Green
Run and Salisbury quadrangles in the
northern and eastern part of the state.
The Patuxent and Mt. Vernon quadran-
giles comprise the District of Columbia
and the City of Washington.

How Helen Keller Writes.

who will read Helen Keller's own story
of her life, when it begins in an early
issue of The Ladies Home Journal, will
have the least conception of the amount
of hard work required to write the story.
First of all Miss Kellar puts down her
ideas Gin Braille," as the blind express i;
that is to say, in the system of "points"
raised on paper by means of a stylus and
slate devised to aid the blind; points"
being read after ward by passing the sensi-
tive fingers over them. When all of this
Braille work has been completed Miss
Keller goes to her typewriter and uses
these notes as guide to the rewriting Of
the story.
As soon as page of the matter is type
written it is, SO to speak, lost to Miss kel-
Ter, who has to depend upon her faithful
teacher, Miss Sullivan, to repeat it to her
by spelling out each sentence by means of
the hands 1t is tedious task, especially
as some of the pages have to be read again
and again with changes here and there,
before Miss Keller is satisfied. Then,
when the proofs are sent to her. all this
slow process of spelling word after word
has to be gone through once more, so that
each word that Helen Keller writes goes
through her fingers at least five times. 1t
will be satisfaction to everybody to
known that the publishers of The journal
have recognized in a substantial manner
the extraordinary ability and patience
which Miss Keller has shown in her work.

UNCLE JOE WAS HONEST.

Uncle Joe Cannon's speeches before the house are said to possess a flaw which might prove injurious to his reputation as an orator if the fervent old gentleman's huoyant zeal and good nature did not offset it. And he knows this as well as any of his crit ics.
 A few days after his speech on the status of national finances last session went into the Congressional Record, friend went to him with the remark; ;
 "That was a mighty good speech of yours, Uncle Joe"
 "Yes," was the response, "Courts gets up good speech"
 Courts-Jim Courts of West Tennes- see-is the clerk of MT. Cannon's com mittee on appropriations and is an eminent celebrity as such at the capital.
 "Did Courts write that speech?'' was the obvious question.
 MT. Cannon lighted his cigar and then answered, "Certainly You might have known it was not mine. The sentences are all completed"
