SWEDES To ERECT
MONUMENT IN u. S.
To Celebrate Founding of
Delaware County.

Stockholm, Sweden. - Sweden is
now actively preparing for its share
IN the American tercentenary cele-
bration of the founding of the first
Swedish colony on the banks of the
Delaware in 1888. The anniversary
will be observed next year, probably
In May or June, and a part of the
official program here is a plan to
send as gift to America some
monument that will probably be
erected on The Rocks, a site in what
is now the city of Wilmington, where
the early pioneers first landed.
Costs of the proposed monument
will be met by popular subscrip-
ton.
Planned by Minuit.
In February. 1887. just three hun
dred years ago, Peter Minuit, well
known as founder of the New
Amsterdam colony, on Manhattan
island, came up from Holland to
Stockholm to confer with the Chan

gent during the minority of Queen
Christina, and laid before the coun-
Gil of state a plan for colonization
that led to concrete results. Earlier
efforts to found trading companies
bad failed. Even now there was no
popular interest.
The population Of scant million
enjoyed religious freedom, and the
wave of mereantilism sweeping up
from the continent was adding ma
terial prosperity to the country, now
the recognized military power of
Europe following the Thirty Years
war. There was no impelling need
to emigrate.
Peter Minuit succeeded, and some
months later, in November, 1887, he
was the leader of the expedition
that sailed from Gothenburg in the
two Dutch vessels, Kalmar Nyekel
and Fogel Grip This handful of
colonists did not reach the Delaware
until March of the following year.
Fort Kristina was SO named by
Peter Minuit in honor of the SWed-
ish queen.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE

In a certain village is pretty
and charming young widow. Now
the local minister, bachelor, owns
a car that often gives him trouble.
One dark evening, while returning
to his home the car stopped dead in
a quiet street and the owner decided
to walk and send garage man to
fetch the car next day.
In the morning, however, before he
carried out his intention he received
a call from friend who said. my

Friendly With Indians.

Gradually on both sides Of the
Delaware there sprang up forts or
trading centers with nomenclature
distinctly identifying the little
groups of SWedes or Firms that
came as additions to this COLOMBIA
ton venture. The relations with the
Indians were friendly.
Gradually the Swedes bought out
the Dutch interests and by 1643 the
first Swedish Governor, Johan
Printz, had arrived. Old Swedes
Church, built in 1893, is still stand
ing. In less than two decades, how
ever, the colony had been absorbed
by the Dutch and in 1864 it passed
into the control of the English. Re
Inducements from the mother coun-
try had been too slow and uncertain.
1t was not until two centuries
later that the real emigl alton from
Sweden to America began. BY the
time of the 1905 it had reached
such proportions that the welfare
of the mother country seemed
threatened. The early pioneering
colonists of 1857 set out from a
sparsely settled homeland with a
population of only one million. To-
day there are a million and half
Americans Of Swedish ancestry.

probably would appreciate a gun dog
above all others even if he doesn't

Another factor to be considered in
the purchase of puppy is the pups
age. In many cases a grown dog
proves to be the better choice. The
young puppy is subject to infantile
ailment, will chew on things. dig and
tear, has had very little or no train
ing, but is utterly adorable The older
dog does not need to be fed so often,
is past his puppy troubles, may have
had some house training and often
can adapt himself better to the ways
Of an adult house than the younger
can.
GOING hunting? Take dog The
~ amount Of game wounded and un-
retrieved each hunting season is ap-
palling. A good dog will save the
needless suffering, the wasting Of
game and the disappointing trek home
without a bag. He also will add ma

Kayo Is Messy Job.

THE st. Louis-bred Negro, who
kicked around Los Angeles several
years before he got chance on the
bigtin1e, is a good enough fighter in
his own diggings. No one who saw the
ease with which he defeated Mike Bel
loise and Pete Sarron will deny that
Or the ease with which he has been
spotting fairly good lightweights and
throwing in a handy whipping to
clinch matters.
However, Armstrong; recent knock
out over Billy Beauhuld left something
to be desired. A bad cut over the
bridge of the nose and several promi-
nent bumps near the temple showed
that Marse Henry knows how to bring
his hard head into play when required
And low left hook just before the
bell sounded to end the fourth round
did not help the willing Beauhuld.
The latter went to his corner reeling
from the effect of the pain and hardly
was able to come out for the next
round.
Armstrong admittedly is harder
puncher than Lou Ambers. This point,
however, is not enough to discount the
lightweight champions edge in boxing
and crafty ring work Pedro Mon
tanez compiled an impressive string of
victories in order to gain the right to
meet Ambers for the lightweight
crown, but the Puerto Rican failed to
land his sleep wallop in As minutes
Of fast stepping. Ambers nullifed
Pedro's leads by beating him to the
punch with lancing left and cuffed
him considerably with inside upper
cuts.

Birds and animals thrive in the edge

Dense forests shade out undergrowth

where it changes to open grassland
the berried shrubs thrive, insects and
other food are abundant and birds

Strips, terraces, sodded channels,
reforesting and the planting of shrubs,
vines and cover crops for soil protec-
ton all help increase the variety and
abundance Of food and cover for birds
and animals.

Sounds Bad for Ross.

A RMSTRONG had difficulty solving
Sarron's bobbing and weaving for
several rounds, and the latter is nc
Ambers in that style Of boxing and
does not have the durability of the
hatchet-faced Italian to carry on
round after round. Then there is the
fact that Ambers met up with and
lasted the route against one of the
greatest punchers in the welterweight
division in the person of Jimmy
McLarnin.
Barney Ross, in defeating Tony Can
Eoneri, won the lightweight crown
from a great fighter. He went on to
whip McLarnin twice. No one yet has
had the temerity to class Ross as a
fuke champion, but giving Armstrong
. chance to whip Barney practically
amounts to the same thing.
Armstrong will not lack for action
while attempts to match him with
Anbers or Ross are taking place. The
punch-master has engagements with
Tony Chavez at Cleveland on Decem-
Der and, il four colored victims can
be obtained, Marse Henry will strut
his stuff at Birmingham, New Orleans,
Mobile and Houston, with two days of
rest between each effort.

the golf course, one Of the outstanding
layouts in the East for two decades,

the P. G. A. tournament.

Pinehurst in 1896 and at Pittsburgh
last May. 1t must 60 West in 1899,
if the p. G. A. is to satisfy the demands
Of the Western pros.
Shawnee has been the kind of course
where a red-hot golfer could score
amazingly low, but it won't be a soft
touch in the tourney next July. New
tees have been built on many Of the
holes, pushing the markers back for a
total added distance around 300 yards
bunkers have been pulled in closer to
the greens and the whole layout has
been toughened until the big shots
won't do any 65s as they have done
in the Shawnee open tournaments of
past years. Even the famed Binnie-
kill hole-the 10th of the course
has come in for some shifting. This

Already Financial Success.
brown told Witty Cox few days
ago that the P. G. A. tourney al
ready is a financial success. He has
sold enough advertising in the tour
nament program to pay the rap of IS
grand, and propably the tournament
will make money. Gate receipts won't
bring in any startling amount of
dough, for Shawnee, even though it's
fairly close to several smaller Penn
sylvania towns, is 80 miles from New
York and about the same distance
from Philadelphia.
So the pros will have more than
$4,000 to shoot for in three open
Journeys next June and July. The
National Open for IS, 1000, the Shawnee
open for another $4,000, and the
P. G. A. for $4,000 follow in rapid
succession. 1t looks another big money
year for the boys who make a living
by knocking in 6-foot puts.

another fight. All, except Hanna,
were wounded fatally overseas. \
Just the other day Hanna re-
