Cling glass eyes into this country and
that the undertaking should pay so
well as to make the smuggler a rich
man. Yet this proved to be the case.
A German, who posed as member of
the German nobility, was arrested in
Trenton, N. j., recently charged with
having smuggled large quantities of
artificial eyes into this port. At the
trial it was established that the man,
who is in no way connected with aris-
tocracy, has been for many years
smuggling glass eyes into this coun-
try, underselling the regular import
ers and accommodating large fortune.
He was convicted and sentenced to a
heavy fine and imprisonment and, for
a while at least, glass eyes will be
higher in price.

The smuggling of diamonds and
other precious stones, of iaces and
other valuable articles of adornment is
of rather common occurrence. In spite
of the watchfulness of the revenue of

Once in while one hears of some

LIVING IN THE PRESENT.

Everyone has three lives on this
earth-one in the past, one in the
present, and one in the future. Most
Of our mistakes come from the fail
ure to recognize and keep proper
balance among these three existences.
The habit of comparing the past or
hoped for future with the present
to its disadvantage is SO human that
it is almost UNIVERSAL; but it is either
too depressing or too distracting to
be healthy. Sorrows crown of sor-
row is remembering happier things"
but it is equally improbable to dwell
constantly on the hope of better
things. That is the surest invitation
to disappointment.
On the other hand, living in the
present can be overdone. 1t is over
done when it becomes LIVING in the
moment. The present is bigger than
the moment, always; it is linked with
the past and with the future; it can
not be quite isolated from them. The
moment can be; and the person who
lives in the moment is living mentally
from hand to mouth, is not paying
due respect to the lessons of expert
dhce, and is not taking advantage of
the horizon that an occasional sur
vey the future may reveal.
To live rightly in the present is the
secret Of living. 1t means the least
possible waste. A Bit of work that is
perfunctory done means waste of ma
terial, or time, or character, or Of all
three. A sport or pleasure that is
not enjoyed with full and free heart
means a waste of possibilities. The
man who habitually fails to get the
most out of whatever work he under
takes and out of whatever enjoyment
he earns is not living rightly in the
present, is bound to live sorrowfully
in the past, and is unlikely to live
courageously in the future.
Living in the present need not be
= hSASAJ AhhhuhhS CAioIcuCc. Ing
stars overhead belong to the present
as well as to eternity. Life is not all
hustle; It is not full even when the
duties nearest at hand are all per-
formed; for TO think is as much a
part of living as to act. Many persons
who imagine themselves to be think
ing are merely concentrating the ego
upon itself, with relation to the past
or to the future. Only when people
get quite outside themselves are they
adequately alive.
So there is paradox in the state
ment that everybody has three lives
on this earth. For although to live
in the present is to live, to live in the
past is 10 die, and to live in the
future Is TO never have been born

Before leaving for California Mr.. ].
A. Clay, president of the San Juan
congress, wrote Edgar Buchanan, the
| president of the board of trade, a
lengthy letter regarding plans under
headway for the complimentary lunch
con to be rendered the people of the
San Juan congress counties by the
Denver chamber of commerce the
date having been set for Friday noon,
March 20. Following along lines sug-
gested by Mr.. Clay the advertising
committee of the board of trade met
last week and discussed the matter.
Previous to the meeting l had sent
the different vice presidents of the
congress copies of Mr.. Clay's letter
along with request for active work.
1t is planned to have as many peo-
pie attend the luncheon as possible.
There should be eight or ten from
every county. r. r. Smith phoned me
last week that Cortez and Montezuma
county would send large delegation
"a dozen or more. Mr.. Wyman says
Silverton will do the same and sew
eral from Durango are planning to at
tend the meeting. Committees in the
various counties are gathering sta
tistics on dozen different industries
and according to present plans the
data thus secured will be furnished
the ones selected to handle specific
subjects. Montezuma county has al
ready selected its speaker, Durango
likewise and we understand Mr.. Scar
cy of Silverton has been agreed on
by the Silverton contingent, Mr.. Scar
cy handling the mining, milling and
coal proposition. Another speaker will
handle the irrigation end, giving pres
ent and proposed irrigation enter
prises with the acreage that can be
watered. Another speaker will cover
the horticultural possibilities of this
southwest district along with what
has already been accomplished, and
another the scenic, fishing and gen
eral sporting features, the last speak
er closing with resume and the OBJ
ject of the meeting. Some twenty
five to thirty slides are being made
for illustrating the talks and show
ing what we have in the southwest
district, each county contributing. In
this connection every one who can
possibly attend is invited. There will
be forty or fifty delegates from this
section to attend the Republican state
convention at Colorado Springs on the
9th and it is urged that as many as
can make it point to go on to Dem
yer for the luncheon Friday. Mr..
Clay has taken great interest in this
meeting. He will return from Cali.
fornia about the goth of this month
and assist in the closing preliminaries.
Denver promises large turnout the
Denver papers giving it wide adver-
tising, and it is possible there will
be prominent men from other sections
present to hear about the great San
Juan basin. Let every commercial
club in the southwest see to it that
they are well represented as this will
be the most important meeting of the
year.
For the information of the people of
the San Juan basin il is hoped that
the different papers will copy this
article. Mr.. Clay specially requests
this, and to make the Denver gather
ing hummer.

HOBART, Tasmania, March s.
Captain Amundsen is, up to the pres.

Nobody is allowed to go on board the

The explorer says he is pleased with

He will then go to Australia, give q
few lectures and depart for Europe by
the circuitous route of Buenos Ayres

straits and through the northwest
passage and the Arctic sea.
LONDON, March s.-Captain Rob

tain Roald Amundsen or Norway
Which one, if either, has discovered
the south pole? All Britain is ask
ing this question today since Amund-
sen last evening cabled both England
and Norway that he himself had
reached the coveted goal on Dec. Z.
Not only this but Amundsen declared
or telegraphed nothing referring 10
his British rival. The apparent con-
frmation of Amundsen's attainment
of the pole, received from the e>-
plorer at Hobart, Tasmania, would
seem to set at rest the conflicting re
ports current on the subject today.
But nothing has been heard from
Scott and in the meantime the Britons
are not accepting the Norwegians as
sertions at gulp. Moreover they
point to dispatch from the king of
Norway saying the latter has received
10 official word from Amundsen who
was to have cabled his ruler at once
providing he discovered the south pole.
Maybe both Scott and Amundsen
have planted flags of their respective
countries on the bottom of the earth.
Who knows? Perchance this pole
business will develop into another
Cook -Peary affair.

Captain -7qmuna5en, of

knowledged here as being complete
and the Norwegian explorer is hailed
as the conqueror of the south pole.
Many Britons however, for the time
being, still cling to the hope that
Captain Scott's return may furnish II
dramatic climax to the antarctic story.
The Royal Geographical society while
not questioning Captain Amundsen's s
feat, is awaiting news from Captain
Scott before committing itself by
sending congratulations to Captain
Amundsen.
In the meantime, if the Norwegian
explorer has any further secrets TO
reveal, he is reserving them for pub
lication through the same channels he
hitherto used.
Rear Admiral Peary, Sir Ernest
Shackleton and DR.. Chacot are all
prominently displayed in the newspa-
pers as supporting the surmise that
both the British and Norwegian -ex-
plorers may have reached the goal,
and each of them remained in ignor-
ance of the others success.
Captain Amundsen added to his an
nouncement that he had reached the
southernmost goal by telling the story
of hardships he endured in clinging to
the ice covered mountains, traversing
drearey antarctic wastes in his race
against time and Captain Scott TO
win the coveted triumph and planting
the Norwegian flag in a mount of
