MHN HND DOG FROM YUMH

formally introduced to him by the "gen-
tleman from Yuma" before he will take
you into his confidence to the extent of
even exchanging caresses
When the Senate is in session Carlo lies
at the side OF the Yuma desk, or possibly
upon it. Sometimes when thars is lull
in the proceedings Carlo will wander
around the room little and pay his re-
spects to his fellow members. But if
| Carpenter snaps his thumb and second
finger instanter Carlo returns and re-
sumes his place beside the Yuma desk
During rollcaIl and reading of the journal
In the morning hour Carlo invariably
makes the round OF the Senate cham Der.
de goes directly to the presidents chair
hrst, receives a nod or a pat of recogni-
ton. rubs his nose friendly against the
presidents hand, then walks down, very
quietly and with great dignity, to the
Gila mem ber's desk. In turn he goes to
each desk, exchanges "good mornings"
and then takes up his seat beside Car
penter.
1t Is Carlo who is first to notify the AS
sem bly. that the Senate has adjourned.
The two branches of the Legislature meet
in adjoining halls. with heavy swinging
doors between them. If at any time dur
ing the day the mem oers of the Assem- blv
see big brown curly dog push his way
through the deor and walk over to the
Speakers chair, everybody knows that the
Senate has taken recess And until
"Carp's" dog appears every body knows
that the Senate is still IN session.
Carlo has no frivolous ways about him.
No one ever saw him run-at least not in
Phoenix. He walks quietly side by side
with Carpenter, and when Carpenter
meets man" and stops to talk the
'brown pup" hats also.
When at Yuma sometimes Carpenter
leaves Carlo at home for day or two
while he takes flying trip to Los An
geles. This occurs but rarely, but when it
does Carlo goes down TO meet every in
coming train. There are two trains day
at Yuma-one east and one west-and of
course the whistle blows as the train nears
! the town. Carlos home is at some dis
tance from the depot, but the dog always
gets there first, and this is probably the
only time he ever loses his dignity long
enough to travel at an undignitied pace
Carlo has profound contempt for lob
| bylsts and members of the third house.
He never notices such ordinary indi-
viduals unless formally introduced bv
Carpenter. AS rule he associates only
with mem ber, of the Senate, but at long
intervals he takes quiet stroll through b
the Assembly and speaks to those with
whom he is acquainted.
If Carpenter goes to church Carlo goes
to church, and on the same day and in
the same church. If CARPENTER attends a
caucus Carlo GOES the same. He is safe
and will reveal no state secrets. Doubt
less he has a great many of them locked
up in his wise old head, but he never
breathes word.
Yet he talks quite plainly and intelli-
gently and ho.ds long conversations with
his master at odd times. He does not
perform any tricks-such procedure would
be entirely beneath bis dignity. He is as
well known in Ariz ona as Carpenter and
Carpenter is probably the best known of
the young men of the Territory.
Carlo has travelled ell over this section
OF the country with Carpenter and by all
kinds OF conveyance. He is as familiar
with the interior OF Pullman palace cars
as other dogs are with their kennels, for
Carpenters duties make him q constant
traveller, and Carlo is his constant com
panion.
There is really something very pretty in
the friendship and understanding between
these two individuals, and every body In
the Territory likes Carlo almost as well as
Carpenter and Carlo is welcome wherever
Carpenter goes. For Carlo is never dog
out of place wherever he may be. He is
never oticious, never troublesome. You
must speak to him first or he will prob
ably pass you by unnoticed. He is one
I dog in a million and probably the only
canine member of a legislative assembly
| in the Nation. The claim is made for
him. too, that he is the only dog who has
ever ridden in a Pullman car.
