Little Dock" the MOctezuma dog
whose picture and story was in The
Herald some years ago, IS still alive
and well at my residence" said J. I.
Vaughan, of 312 Portland avenue,
Highland Park Dock had a scrap
with a big Mexican lion on the morn
ing of Feb. "A, 1903, and was left for
dead near the Tres Castiuos about so
miles from Moctezuma. About mid
night March he came into town in
a most pitiable condition, with his
head crushed by a blow from the
lions paw, and nearly dead from hun
ger and thirst. The wounds on his
forehead and over the right eve
where the bones were crushed by the
blow from the lions paw. have
healed. leaving large scars. Recently
a small piece of bone came out on the
left side of his head This piece Of
bone had evidently come from the
wounds on the right side, and had
been nearly II years in crossing over.
The wonder to ali who know Dock is
his remarkable vitality, intelligence
and good nature. In addition to the
Ell Paso herald, Docks picture and
story have been in Mexico City, Chi
cago and London papers. AS near as
we can find out, his age is about IS
years"

FEARFUL SUFFERING IN
BELGIUM AND POLAND

LONDON, Eng, Dec. 15.-The suffer
ing of the non-combatants in Belgium,
through the destruction Of homes and
the sweeping bare the country Of all
supplies of food, is duplicated on a
much larger scale throughout Poland,
where millions are reported to be
starving, without prospect of relief.
According to reports from various
trustworthy sources 400 villages have
been destroyed as result Of the fight,
ing between the two great armies that
have been driven back and forth
across the land during the past three
months.
Unless some means Of relieving IL.
distress can be found, very many Of
the women and children Of RUSSIA
Poland will not be able to survive the
winter.

men. and there is little or no hope
that it will ever properly accomplish
its purpose. The reasons why II Vii
net 90 so it is not profitable To DIS
CusS.
Il am firmly convinced that il No
can use the standing army as a schO0I
through which TO pass men who come
into il. with the know ledge that II
they are proficient they can be dis
charged at any time after year OF
IS months, We will begin at once tc
build up the necessary reserve. anC
will, for the first time IL the military
history Of Tire country. have something
apprOXlmating a balanced organlZa
ton.
Il am therefore firmly convinced
that We should have immediate legis-
latiOn dealing With the matter Of en-
listment and reserve. A practically
similar provision should exist in every
state which maintains an organized
militia. 1t is just as essential that the
organized militia should have prop
er reserve to fill up it's ranks as it is
that the regular army should.
Train More Civilians.
Il am convinced with equal firm
ness that We should adopt some one
or more Of the methods which have
been suggested for the training OF
more civilians to become officers in
case Of necessity. The potentially OF
the student military camps and Of the
schools and colleges at which training
is obtainable suggests fruitful source
Of accomplishing this purpose.
Il realize that one of the matters
which will be much debated in con
nection with this whole subject viii
be the matter Of expense. do noI
overlook this, but | think that those
! who are charged with responsibility
on behalf Of the public should realize
! the greatness Of that responsibility
| should realize the unanswerable in
dictment that will lie against them i
they shrink from mourning expense
| for what is vital to the nation. Wher
one has reached the conclusion, as
| have, that minimum of military pre-
paredness is essential, the question
of its cost is secondary and canno
be permitted to be the determinin.
factor No citizen will or can prop
erly object to the expenditure o
money for vital national purposes"

be provided by the company who IS to supply the talent and who are mani festing a liberal spirit and earnest endeavor to promote the mutual in- terests of both parties concerned, With some of the strongest and most experienced lecturer of America, and many very fine musical organizations and entertainers of the highest order
 and moral standing, the citizens of Conway are to enjoy what may prove to be one of the greatest events in the history of our town. While the con- tract for such chautauqua usually calls for a guarantee of $1,OOO, we
 understand it will cost the company S1 800, clear of expenses, to promote it, and only by conducting nearly two hundred chautauquas on the circuit
 systep, and purchasing the talent for the whole of their available time, are they able to do it. It is a fact t9 be Appreciated that by the enterprisiag spirit of some of our leading citizens Conway is to secure at half the eM- pense chautauqna which would cost the local people OF an independent basis something like $3,600 or S4,060.
 For several consecutive years the White & Meyers system have conduct ed six and eight day ehautauquas in such cities as Columbia, Mo, the seat
 of the great Missouri Sstate Univer- sity, in Jefferson City, the state capi- |tal, and many other cities and towns of like importance. On their eight day circuits this year which calls for a guarantee of $1,500, which IS only two-ffths of the expense, the people of the various cities and towns will have the opportunity and privilege of hearing Vice President Marshall, who has been secured by the bureau at
 great expense for all his available dates.
 With the hearty cooperation of the citizens of Conway this year in pur- chasing the season tickets, and boost
 ing the enterprise, this can prove to be but the stepping stone to the larg- CT and even better chautauquas that
 will bring to our town as in no other way such men of great mental caiibre
 and national reputation,
 List your tickets now with the rep resentative of the company, who is
 here, and give the community or the
 men who are backing the enterprise the financial benefit of your co-opera-
 tion, as 50 per cent of all tickets sold
 over 500 will probably be given to the
 schools or some other local interest of the community. d1t*

ADVANCE GUARD
 IS AT PINE BLUFF
POLITICIANS ASSEMBLING
FIGHT TO ORGANIZE CONVEN- TON BEING KEPT IN THE
 BACK GROUND.

Little Rock, June 1-The advance guard of Arkansas politicians jour neyed to Pine Bluff Sunday afternoon to open headquarters for the contest ants in the Senatorial squabble before the State Democratic Convention which convenes Wednesday. Senator James P. Clark and Judge Wm. F. Kirby went to Pine Bluff today, Sen ator Clarke to personally take com mand of his headquarters at the Hotel Jefferson, while Judge Kirby will be with his followers at the Hotel Pines R. P. Allen and Frank Kitchens of Helena, who were in charge of Clarke headquarters before the primary, will be in charge of Clarke headquarters at Pine Bluff, and Judge Kirby will have on hand his old advisers, Smead Powell, Frank and Troy Pace, Judge Carter of Texarkana, and Wallace Davis.
 The rank and file of Arkansas poll tics has been rolling into Little Rock all day, and will go on to Pine Bluff on each train bound for that Arkan- sas river port.
 Neither Senator Clarke nor Judge Kirby will discuss the temporary or permanent organization of the con vention, but it is evident that both are working to secure control of both or ganizations if possible. Senator Clarke states that it is not customary to complete the organization of con vention until all forces are on the ground, and he will not lay any plans until the preliminary meeting to be held Tuesday.
 Senator Joe T. Robinson arrived from Washington Saturday and will be one of the active agents in the con- yention. He is a Clarke supporter.
 There have been number of re- ports sent out that J. c. Floyd will not attend the convention, but close friends assert this is a mistake, and that he will be on hand to accept the permanent chairmanship of the con- yention if it is rendered him.
 Several delegations will got to Pine Bluff on special trains, among then being the delegates from Phillips ant Lee counties, and the friends of Judge Kirby from Texarkana.
 Many counties will present tw( delegations and the convention mus decide which is entitled to seat. | is claimed that in many of thes' counties the county convention wal not legally held, and for that reasol an effort will be made to throw then out.
