Major Llewellyn's Promotion

1t is now Assistant Attorney
General w. H. H. Llewellyn, a
high official of the Department Of
Justice of the United States. Ma
jor Liewellyn has been promoted
to the appointing power from u.
S. district attorney of New Mexico
to the higher position in which he
will have more important work and
receive a larger salary. His pro-
motion is certainly a vindication
of the highest grade and establish
es the fact that any and all charges
made against him by vindictive,
INSCRIPTIONS and venomous politi-
cal and personal enemies have been
disproven and are found groundless
in every particular. Major Level
lyn has been before the people OF
this territory for II years and has
held very high official and legis-
lative positions as well as import
ant business positions during these
many years. Naturally a man OF
his character, aggressiveness and
vitality makes enemies, especially
political ones, but his friends out
number his enemies at twenty to
one. His advancement is pleasing
to his friends and confounds his
enemies to the utmost degree. Maj
or Llewellyn is on top where he
ought to be and where the New
Mexican hopes he will be for many
a year. He has done great and
good service for the Republican
party since attaining his majority
is a straightforward and consistent
Republican and Of course a strong
Roosevelt man. He is one OF the
best known men in the southwest
and especially in New Mexico ane
his many friends are greatly graft
fed at his promotion New Mex

THE GLORY THAT is no BE.

Horace Lathrop Dawson, an Evan
ston boy, contributes this clever paro-
dy to the Cornell Widow:
L'ENvoI.
When Earth's last bubble" Is busted
and the tires are twisted and dried
When the Oldest motor is rusted, and
the youngest chauffeur has died
We shall rest and no one shall speed
it-slow down for a cycle or two.
Till the maker of all good motors
shall crank our machines
anew.
And all that were good shall be rap
i'd; they shall sit in gold ma
chine;
They shall steer with a ring from
Saturn, with nectar for gaso-
line;
They shall find real sports to race
with-Mercury, Oldfield ct al;
They shall run for an age on GAL
lon and never get punctures at
all!
And only the comets shall pass up,
and Pegasus only shall blame;
And no one shall drive to cripple, and
no one shall drive to MAIN;
But each for the joy of speeding. and
each in his separate car,
Shall run the thing like the devil In
spite of the laws as they are.

Living on Their Noses

There some 800 men in England
whose sense of smell is so developed
that they can discriminate between
odors which offer no distinctions to
an uneducated nose. They are en-
ployed by the manufacturing chemists,
tea importers and the large wine and
liquor establishments.
A perfectly trained nose is necessary
to those whose business is the COM
pounding. blending and testing of per-
fumes and essences. The most curious
point about these people who live on
their noses is that the majority are to-
tally blind
The reason is that when any person
loses one sense the other senses are
more fully developed. These men
travel about from merchant to mer-
chant generally earning between $500
and s400 year.

WILL BE WITNESSES
Louis Marten and William Reese
Called to Testify Against Captain
kulp of Davenport.

Louis Martens and William Reese of
Davenport have been summoned to
DeS MoineS to appear as state wit
nesses in the court martial of Captain
Kulp for alleged failure to prevent a
prize fight between Packey Mcfarland
and Kid Herman recently. Martens
and Reese are officers of the Tri-city
Athletic club before which the con-
test took place and they have been
requested to bring along the articles
of incorporation of the club, as well
as its books and records. All the
members of the club, including those
summoned to Des Moines. declare
emphatically that the event was mere
ly a scientific boxing bout and could
not be called a prize fight in any
sense of the word. Whether the court
sitting at the trial of Captain Kulp
will so construe the event. remains
to be seen. Captain Kulp will appear
i'll full uniform when placed on trial
He will be accompanied to Des
MONIES by number of the members
of Company B, several of whom will
undoubtedly be used as witnesses.
