One Of she city prisoners who was
being worked On the streets Friday
Afternoon, created little excitement
when he threw down his shovel, pick
ed up his bali and chain and walked
over to the side walk, and sat down.
In loud tones, he declared that it was
a disgrace to compel man to work
against his will, and he'd be dod-
gasted if he'd work for Ninot or
any other city. He was taken back
to his cell to reflect on his rash act
and dine on bread and water.

ALASKAN DOG RACE

Dogs and drivers were off over the
snow and ice-clad trails. Over wind
swept coast, up and down river
courses, they raced madly on. Road
houses were made and passed, and
stopping only for the necessities of
life, a, little sleep by the drivers and
rest for the dogs, the long course was
traversed.
When Candle was reached, the first
lap in the big event which brought
together in mad competition the best
flesh and bone of hardy northern dogs.
the Siberian team was ahead, and the
long dash home on the return leg was
commenced. 1t was then that the
Siberian hackers gathered together
their friends and, collecting 100000
in gold, posted this fortune against
the field. The takers were there. as
the Fink and Berger men felt sure
the Siberian team would fall by the
wayside. The finish showed the
Fink hackers overconfident of their
team, for Fink's dogs were far behind
at the end of the course His hardy
malamutes, for which he had secured
the length and breadth of Alaska,
went down to defeat before what were
regarded as the second-class teams
owned by Berger
In finishing the course in 80 hours,
one bet of $4,000 was made and lost.
1t had been wagered that the course
would not be traversed in less than
SO hours, and in finishing the race in
80 hours last years time is broken
by better than day. The official time
of last years race was days % hours
Is minutes IL seconds.

this road was operated strictly &C.
cording to methods that prevailed in
Spain. The equipment, including To-
comotives, passenger coaches and
freight cars, all came from Spain. The
officers were Spaniards and all of the
employees were either Spaniards or
Mexicans. The accounts and books of
the syndicate were kept in Spanish.
All correspondence was conducted in
Spanish. and in every respect the road
was just as much foreign enterprise
as though it was located in Spain
itself. This Rio Grande railroad, as
1t was called, served for nearly forty
years as Brownsville's only railway
outlet. All goods and supplies for the
town and surrounding territory came
by water to Point Isabel and thence
over the little railway to Brownsville
for distribution. The first locomotive
that was used on this railway is still
In good condition and attracts much
attention among visitors to Browns
vile. 1t is crude type of the early
day equipment which was used by the
road. This primitive locomotive con-
tlnued to do good service on this line
for many years after the more modern
type of propelling power had been in
vented and brought into general use
elsewhere

Monico was mere lad when he first
came under the attention of Mr.. Taft,
then president of the Philippine COM
mission. Mr.. Taft liked the boy and
made him his valet. The lad was loyal
and learned quickly, and it would al
most have broken his heart had he
been left behind in the Orient when
the big Ohioan came to Washington to
be sworn in as secretary of war So
Mr.. Taft brought Monico along with
him, and from then until the Taft
house was closed on X street, after the
nomination at Chicago last year, Mon
leo, who had grown up to be a young
man, continued to serve Mr.. Taft as
