Doqs of War.

The canine department in the French
army is a command in itself; it's four
footed recruits are enrolled almost
more carefully than real soldiers. They
have an official record, number, an
identity plate, and are never lost sight
of. The dogs already have their roll
of honor. Several have been cited in
orders for having saved whole COM
panies by their sagacity; others have
enabled surprises to be brought off as
well as avoided. AS liaison agents
they are invaluable, while as ammuni-
ton carriers they are practically in
dispensable. While few of them can
never get used to shot and shell, the
majority quickly get as case-hardened
as old soldiers. A dog carrying a mes
sage through terrific barrage fire has
been seen blown into the air, to come
down with thud that made it sense
less, to remain stunned a while, then
pick itself up, give itself good shake,
and resume it's journey.

Jonah Vark.

Well Al one of the burgs along
the line is where Jonah Vark was
born when she was alive. 1t seems
like France was mixed up in another
war along about one hundred years
ago and they was getting licked and
Jonah was just a young gal but she
dressed up in mems coat and pants
and went up to the front and led the
charges with a horse and she carried
white flag and the Dutchmens or
whoever they was fighting against
must of thought it was flag of tru-
ants and anyway they didn't fire at
them and the French captured New
Orleans and win the war. The Ger

your back is turned they whang away

JUST LIKE TIMES OF PEACE

II is the "Little Things" That

A few hundred yards to the rear we
came upon a soldier sitting on stump.
From the waist up he was as naked as

his shirt turned inside out, ana ne was
studying the garment as intently as
young son of one of the best families
stealing a chapter of a forbidden dime
novel. But the expression was more
that of a man digesting bad news.
"what are you doing, SOM" the cap
tain called out.
The soldier on the stump slowly
raised his eyes and looked us over. ms
expression was that of detached ana
world-weary man breaking under the
burden of q secret sorrow. We didn't
seem to ease his mind much, for ne
sighed deeply and returned to his IN
tent inspection.

The bird of the beautiful colOrs
perched himself on a nearby branch
which was on low shrub. The
Ophelia Rose looked up at him. The
rose had been a bud but nov it was a
full blown rose of salmon pink shade
with orange edges.

chirped a little to make his voice in
good condition for his speech to the
Ophelia Rose, "that beauty is very
wonderful. That / have said before.
"But to me it is really something
to wonder at-that there can be so
much beauty in the world. Think of
it! Think of it, Ophelia Rose.
SIN the spring there are the spring
blossoms peeping at the big world. The
trees burst into soft, yellow-green
leaves. then into darker, fuller, bigger
green leaves.
SIN the summer the flowers all bloom
so glOriOusly, as they are blooming
now. The sun shines upon them. The
rain gives them drinks of water to
keep them fresh. The land, the gar
dens, everything is very beautiful in
the summer.
"Then comes the autumn and the
leaves of the trees change color. They
are of many colors, some of brown,
some of red, some of yellow, some Of
orange. They are very gay and bril-
liant and splendid as if they wanted
all the world to know that they were
ending off their summer visit in the
most glorious way possible.
"And next comes the winter with
the snow-beautiful white snow. The
ground looks often as though covered
with diamonds as it sparkles. The
trees are often covered with snow and
parks look like fairyland. Icicles make
all sorts of beautiful pictures and the
world is a lovely place.
"And there are the many other
things and creatures which are so
beautiful and which are too numerous

TRACTION PARK
To PASS OUT OF
EXISTENCE SOON

Traction park, which for years has
been Albuquerque's main recreation
place, particularly for horse racing,
fairs and baseball games, is on the
verge of passing out of existence Two
years ago the state fair association
secured an option on the property for
! the purpose of eventually converting
/ il into state fair grounds. The price
agreed upon was $4,000. of which
/ 81 900 was paid in cash Later on the
state fair association decided its in
/ terest in the property to the Chamber
! of Commerce The annual interest
/ payment of $500 was made and an
! other payment is due 1t has now
been decided by the Chamber of
! Commerce to abandon the project.
The tract Of land now known as
Traction park was, first used as
fair ground in 1891 In April of that
| year number of enterprising citizens
| of Albuquerque met in the office of
Judge w c. Hazeldne and talked
over the question of holding an an
nual fair or exposition here This
meeting led to the organization of the
! New Mexico Agricultural, Minera,
and Industrial Exposition and Driv-
ing Park association, which later was
incorporated. The first fair was held
october 3 to 8. 1881 The officers

by an address from Lionel A. Sheldon,
then territorial governor. and on the
day following Robert G. Ingersoll was
the speaker.
During the succeeding years the
park has been the scene of some great
entertainments and hundreds of thou
sands of persons have flocked thither
to witness the various forms of
amusement and feast their eyes upon
the exhibits of New MeXicos varied
resources Some of the best horses
i'm the country have hung IN records
in races held on the local track. The
wrecking of the buildings as George

Electric company, announces will be /
done in the near future, means that
Traction park is to pass out of exist
ence after doing duty for thirty seven
years as Albuquerque's playground.
