A Faithful Horse,

Instances of the self-devotion of ami
mails in the service of their masters
are not uncommon, but they generally
have to do with some sudden instinct
i've deed OF courage. Passive faithful
ness unto death, among beasts as
among men, is the rarest form of self
sacrifice. The story of the horse Of
a certain police sergeant In the north
west illustrates the courage of animals
in its noblest form. Sergt Parker, a
member of the Canadian mounted po-
lice, waited day or two after the de-
parture Of his men, in order to receive
some government dispatches, of which
he was to be the bearer. 1t was win
ter on the prairie, and every trail was
hidden beneath the snow, but as soon
as he secured the papers, he pushed on
alone, hoping to rejoin his company by
forced march. BY nightfall he had
lost all sense of direction, and when
he resumed his journey next day he
felt that his search was hopeless. Still
the dispatches were important, and
he had been trusted with them. For
six days he wandered about, starving
and frost bitten. Then snow blind
ness came upon him, and he lay down
to die. His faithful horse did not de-
sert him, but stood like sentinel at
its masters feet. For day and a night
it stood there, and on the morning Of
the second day Of its watch a mail
carrier saw the motionless figure. He
approached and discovered Sergt. Par
ker. 1t was nearly fortnight before
the rescued sergeant regained con-
sciousness. His first question was after
his horse. The emaciated beast was
brought into the tent where its master
lay, and at once it began to lick his
face TWO days later the horse was
dead.

The Amende Honorable.

In its comments recently upon a ship
ment Of Grand Junction apples, the
Journal has stirred up hornets nest
about it's head, all the Grand Junction
press jumping upon it all spraddled
out.
The Sentinel in the course of column
double-leaded editorial. very dignitied
and fair in tone, expresses the hope and
belief that the Journal will do the
"amende honorable" assuming that this
paper was misinformed and misled.
The Journal dislikes to dispoint the Sen
tlnel, but it cannot retract or apologize.
The consignment Of 25 boxes to which
the Journal reporters attention was
called were billed at 81 per box or
bushel and the consignee wrote the con.
signor that the fruit was here subject to
his order, and then went out and bought
North Fork fruit at 50 per box.
For years the Journal has done it's
share Of boasting OF Colorado's possibili-
tiss in fruit culture and it still main
tsins that with proper industry and care
OF trees this state can beat the world in
apples. What we protest against is our
neighbors sending their good fruit east
and giving us the culls, unless they
come in the shape OF cider accompanied
by about thirty days twang.
So enthusiastic is the Journal editor
over Colorado fruit that year ago
while en- route east he invested several
dollars in Grand junction apples at
Denver and took them TO his old homo
merely to show Illinois and Michigan
people what real apples are like.
He is sorry to have offended his neigh
bors down in the Grand valley, but if
his structures will operate to warn them
against sending their inferior fruit up
here, all will be v ell when the storm has
blown ver.-Telluride Journal.
Editors Note Since writing the ar
ticle in regard to the apples sent to Tell
uride, it has been ascertained that there
was shipment OF the very poorest ap-
Piles sent to Telluride from this city by a
well known ranchman. The apples were
as poor as described in the Journals ar
tiele. When an investigation was made
regarding the shipment OF apples, the
Sentinel thought it had covered the
field when it made inquiries at the
freight and express Offices and at the
Grand Junction Fruit Growers associa-
ton and Abbey Hardy company. 1t
did not suspicion that any ranchmen or
orchardists were shipping apples in
quantities.
THIS paper was also mislead by the
number stated in the fret article ap-
pearing in the Journal. 1t agrees en-
tirely with the Journal that if better
fruit cannot be shipped from. here, none
had better be sent out.

Cameo That Cost $4,000


The famous Marlborough canoes,
purchased in London for the Museum
of Fine Arts, have arrived. The rarest
cameo Of the collection is the work Of
an engraver before the time OF Alex
ander the Great, and for this one gem,
measuring by 51s inches, the sum Of
$4,000 was paid. Connoisseurs say 1t
is the finest cameo in the world. This
cameo humorously represents the hy-
meneal procession of Cupid and
Psyche. The relief is in flesh color
upon a background of black. The de-
signer, Triphion, lived and died in
Macedonia long before Alexander the
Great was born. A case is to be made
of steel and plate glass in which the
collection will be exhibited.

Several business houses of Pine
Bluff had almost consummated ar
engagements for removing to new
quarters when the antitrust law
placed a check on such operations.
Obviously, the merchants would de-
sire their insurance transferred to
cover the new location. THE local
agents, having their hands tied, can
not properly endorse the policies, so
application was made direct to the
companies. The companies repond
that if they "are deharred from max
ing any new contracts in the State,
they certainly have no right to
change the old ones and for that
reason they cannot comply with the
requests made The position OF the
companies is most natural. If they
are guilty OF making new contracts,
they would certainly be guilty if
they changed any now existing.
This obnoxious phase of the law is
one which the people of the State
did not anticipate. The merchants
will havet to remain in their present
localities until some action is taken
by the courts.

sions, irrespective Of any elass-inter-
est, it is
Resolved by this Convention:

est, it is
Resolved by this Convention:
l. That it regards all legislation
to prevent pools, combines, assoeia-
tions, and the like, to arbitrarily fix
the price or quantity of commodities
as necessary for the welfare of the
people OF the State. and the mainte-
nance OF individual character,
2. That this legislation should not
be carried so far as to defeat the
good OF our people, nor so far as to
reverse the settled policy heretofore
existing for the protection OF the
people, where no interest nor person
in Arkansas is in any manner bene
fitted by this change.
3. That the act Of the General As
sembly of the State recently passed
to prevent pools, trusts, etc, having
been construed to debar all insurance
companies from doing business in
the State, who are members Of any
underwriters board or rating bu-
reau to fix rates upon other states,
is not, in any respect. required or
justified by the needs of our people
or property. that it has tended to-
ward a reversaI-and it is reversing
the policy of the state--a policy
which has aimed to secure to our
people the best and most reliable in
surance companies, and the writing
OF insurance under such conditions,
relating to bonds and service of pro-
cess, as would secure to the assured
a certain recovery. in the courts of
his own county, OF the loss sustain
ed
4. That not only has this legisla-
ton unnecessarily destroyed the val
ue Of property painfully acquired by
many of our worthy feilow-citizens
and has already reduced some to
beggary (Which we deeply deplore),
but it has materially Iessened the
credit power of the people, curtailed
the capacity of our business men il
the handling of ourcotton and other
products. in the extension OF loans
and the CARRYING on OF safe bust
ness, and has left the h0useholders
of the State in a condition of such
dependence upon irresponsible com
panies, as to promise in tue near fu-
ture, so alarming condition Of af-
fairs as will lead to the most " ide.
spread panic and depression that
this State has ever witnessed.
Resolved Further. That the tide OF
progress which we had hoped would
reach Ark ansas in it's march from
ocean to OCEAN, is passing us by, and
that extravaganza steps to cure evils
are endangering that development,
which for many years has been our
hope by day aud our dream by
night, and that we do not threa ten
nor command, but that we implore
our general assembly to pass an
am endatory act enabling foreign fire
insurance companies to do cuisines s
in this State.
