MANS FAITHFUL SERVANT.

Before all the honors have been
distributed and the votes of thanks de-
livery of the poles, cannot something
be said for the dog? Now that
Amundsen has told his story, it is
more than ever made clear that, COM
pared with that of his faithful friend
and companion, the work of man in
the great endeavor was almost as
nothing at all. The dogs made pos
sible the Peary success; the dwindling
Of the Amundsen pack alone permit
ted man to add to his knowledge of the
farthest south to that of farthest
north.
Captain Scott in his dash for the
pole was relying upon automobiles
and ponies; his story, whether of sue
cess of failure, is yet to be told. Cap
tain Amundsen stuck to the dogs; the
dogs stuck to Amundsen, and their
driver is back to receive the crown of
victory.
Read what story you will of the
successive assaults upon the poles, and
ever you find the story dealing large
ly with the dog, its self-sacrifice--
willing or otherwise-its martyrdom,
its Indispensable assistance. Matt
Hensen, himself dog-like in mis- at
ta' nneni 10 Peary, tells how a. the
end cf hard going the dogs would
drop in their harness, curl up in a
way to shield themselves from the
snow and ward off the intense cold
and in the morning start at tie call
al times seeming to be imbued with
the spirit of the quest, taking ar all
bu. huron zest and understanding in
the Importance of getting there. Am
undsen tells Of feasting on the dimin-
ishing pack; Hensen, the ina ginttive
negro, says that he had to turn his
head away and leave it to the Esqui
maux to kill one of the pack which
had become incapacitated. In his ear
lier trips over the iceland Hensen,
with Peary, had killed and eaten their
dogs when there was no other alter
native, but it stands TO their credit
that in the final conquest of farthest
north not dog had to be sacrificed
for food purposes.
Hensen feels proud over the fact
that he glorified his race in being a
helper to Peary on his successful ex-
pedition to the north pole; haven't
then these dogs of Peary and of Am
undsen, which made their victories
possible, glori6ed doghood in degree
and won for their kind share in the
proud satisfaction now being taken
over the fact that man has at last

LEARN MORE WORDS.

Let anyone who wants to see him
self grow resolve to adopt two new
words each week. 1t will not be long
before the endless and enchanting va
riety of the world will begin to reflect
itself in his speech, and in his mind
as well. l know that when we use
word for the first time we are startled,
as if firecracker went off in our
neighborhood. We look about hastily
to see if anyone has noticed. But
finding that no one has. we may be
emboldened. A word useI three times
slips off the tongue with entire nat
uralness. Then it is ours forever
and with it some phase of life which
had been lacking hitherto.-George II.

SANTE FE, March 19.-On the eve
Of the states first senatorial election
four members of the house of repre-
sentatives were arrested charged with
soliciting and receiving $500 each for
their votes for senator. The accused
men are Representatives Julian Tru-
jillo and J. P. Lucero of Rio Arriba
county, and Manuel Cordova and Luis
Montoya of Taos county.
The arrest was expected by the
members of the house and came as Il
dramatic climax to the chickering's ex-
tending over several days.
The four representatives are said -
have been caught with money in their
possession amounting to $500 each.
The arrests were made by Terri
torial Mounted Policeman Sena in
room at the Palace hotel in Santa Fe
where the men met by appointment
to receive the bribes. Immediately
after their arrest the four legislators
were taken to the county jail; after
their arrival there they wrote their
designations. This afternoon the four
accused legislators withdrew their
designations, declaring they walked
into a trap which they themselves had
intended as a trap to catch the men
higher up and they demand a COM
plete investigation.

Men are, to some extent, like ami
mails in their habits. Some, like owls
gain a reputation for wisdom by re.
fusing to talk. Some, like the ele.
phant, depend upon their size and
strength to carry them where they
wish to go. Some, like the skunk,
make others do as they wish, not by
logic or coaxing, but simply because
unless you do as they wish they will
throw their stink upon you. Like the
skunk, the only stock in trade that
some men have is their ability to
stink. Durango has its human skunks
and many Of the citizens have, in
years gone by, paid tribute to escape
the contamination.

would like to know just how much
millet seed the ex-agent bought of a
Durango dealer in the spring and just
how much of the same seed, which the
government had paid for, was sold
back to the said Durango dealer in
the fall of the same year. Also just
what was done with the money.

We have an idea that the sugar
trust, the steel trust and the oil trust,
and the Lord only knows how many
other trusts, are really just one COM
bination of capital, that is that their
interests are so entwined that it is
impossible to kick Bill without MAX
ing John holler, and that they all fight
together when an attack is made upon
one of the bunch. According to
"Soapy" Wilkerson it was not the soap
trust alone which gave his little fac
tory its death blow, it was the allied
canned goods and cured meat people
that killed his child.

The forts have been in the hands of

the foreign quarter in order to bring
about foreign Intervention.

general here and British consul gen.

action. The senior naval officer of
