tral America, a country which will be opened Up by the Panama canal and by the Pan American railway and will very soon be accessible to all.
 |. Frank G. Carpenter will visit the va rious republics going first into Costa Rica, thence to Nicaragua, and on by Sal vadoy and Honduras into Guatemala, which is soon to be connected with Mex ico by railway
 He will stop some time in the various republics describing their curious feat ures, their wonderful resources, their gov ernment and their present vital relations to the United States. Uncle Sam has of late adopted a new policy as to the Monroe doctrine. He Is taking charge of our sister republics, and in Santo Do- mingo is already collecting the customs and paving the bills. According to the treaties which will come before the pres ent congress he proposes to do the same with Honduras and Nicaragua. and this work will probably be extended to Guate- mala and Salvador. If so our relations with Central America will eventually be somewhat the same as those of the Brit ish with Egypt, and 1t may be that this Is the beginning of the practical owner ship of the whole of North America by Uncle Sam.
 After spending some months in Central America, it is MT. Carpenters plan to travel overland from the end of the Guatemala railway into southern Mexico where the Mexican railways begin, and thence travel northward to Mexico City. from where he will make some extensive journeys throughout our great sister re- public.
 Mexico is now one of tliT news centers Of the world. and fl promises to be so for long tune to come. Beginning his work III the unknown south lands of that coun- try MT Carpenter will speak of the won derful industrial developments going on, of the mining, manufacturing and agricul- tural interests, and of other great under takings in which the United States is now such a part, that our financial fingers reach out to every section of the republic making 1t almost our own. In this con nection the political conditions will be de- scribed and in interview and special feat ures you will be brought face to face with the Mexico and the Mexcans of to- day
 Indeed. the whole series of letters will be graphic representation of the chang ing conditions which are rapidly making in the southern part of our continent, and no one who would be abreas st of the times or would really know our national next door neighbors as they are now can afford to miss them
 These letters will begin publication on Sunday March r. and will run regularly as series, from then on until completed

RISKED LIVES TO
 SAVE POODLE DOG

Chicago, January 11.-While flames were destroying the Oakdale hotel in Austin today woman and man appeared at q window on an upper floor and called to firemen for help. A moment later a blan- ket was thrown down. Several firemen grasped the sides of the blanket and braced themselves to catch the body that was to fall into the improvised life net.
 Suddenly out of the smoke that filled her room the woman's head appeared and she cried Hold tight, men," Then she threw out her little white poodle dog. It landed safely.
 Now put up ladder and we will come down. came the order from the window. A ladder was raised and the couple de- scended safely. Beside the hotel three other buildings were destroyed. Loss, S5e,000

FRANK

Among the bi ... .,.,,ia,, .,o e,,n- qfmina year 'ld Will nave aofihs ine tsrs bv Fra Fill be series of tfaVei is'- 'ei' Ink G. Carpenter. covering liie of Panama and Central Amer 'ea a" 4exico. MT. Carpenter is now oH 'ae hmus gathering the material for lne ip of these letters. which begin pub ii'a .'o on one of the Sundays of March
 re are few men better fitted to write @1s sdt the Panama canal than Frank G. 2arpenter His first study of it was in , iS97 when the French were still in charge.
 He stopped there at the beginning of his 1 tour around the South American conti- nent and at that time went over the work l ings with the French engineers He de- scribed the labor conditions and the enor- nous extravaganza which filched from the woolen stockings of France hundreds of millions of dollars. It was at that time that MT Carpenter said that the work of the French was perfunetory only, and he prophesied that sooner or later the canal would be sold to the United States or one of the great powers of Europe. u was SnOfIiy dIleT liilS piopbcSy SaiiS true that MT. Carpenters second visit to the canal was made. Uncle Sam had bought the undertaking and MT. Wallace had been made the chief engineer. It was with him that MT. Carpenter visited all parts of the canal and with pen and cam era described it's possibilities and pie turesque features.
 That was the story of Uncle Sam's work at it's beginning. We shall now have a graphic description of the work as il is approaching completion. It is with that view that MT. Carpenter has gone to Panama to show you Just how the canal looks when ready for the water to be turned in. He will now describe the work in its immensity and detail, taking you over it step by step, and so paint ing it with his pencil and photograph that you will seem to be there. This is one of the striking features of Mir. Car penter's newspaper work. You seem to be actually travelling with him, and through his eyes behold things as they are.
 After leaving Panama MT. Carpenter will make his way northward through what to a large extent is the very Terra Incognita of our hemisphere. This is Cen
