DOG Is SMUGGLER

JUAREZ, Mexico, Feb, 20 Dc tected as he was swimming across the Rio Grande with four bottles of "tr, quila," the powerful Mexican int,xi cant, strapped to his body, a canmc Smucgler has been captured here. The dog evidently was trained to carry liquor from Juarez to Fl Paso, since for two months he showed remarkable craft in lodging the custom house guards on both sides of the river.
 Finally, however, the Mexican "fiscales" caught him.

 honor column of scholarship. 1t was a little later that he had gone ,o Washington to work as a draugh,,- man in the Coast and Goodctic Sw- vcy offices. He spent his spare tirr studying civil engineering and passrI in that branch into the naval service. He became Lieutenant Peary, '. s. N.
 His first assignment was to tn, tropics. He was a leader of the srr- vcying for the Nicaraguan canal ront". It was when he returned to Washin.- ton that he fell upon the book abosJ Greenland, and thereafter virtually conSeclatcd himself to polar explo"a- tion
 Obtaining leave from the navel service he led an expedition into Greenland, to determine the extent of this mysterious land He determined it's insularity, discovered and namaH many Arctic points which today a"c familiar names such as lndapnE- dence Bay, Melville Land, and Heilpriu Land, and in one of his later voyage he discovered the famous meteoritIe, which he brought back to civilization. One of them, weighing so tons, is tho wonder of visitors to the Museum or Natural History in New York.
 Between voyages Peary rcsorted to the lecture platform to raise funds for further exploration. In one instance he delivered 16S lectures in 96 days; rais- ing $13,OOo.
 On his sixth voyage, with the Pol" in view, he had to give up because both of his feet became frozen. Although he had reached the most northerly land in the world - naming it Cape Morris K. Jessup at the tip of Greenland -- and had also attained Lat. S4.17, the northemost record in the WeSgcn world, he was still in great despair, He wrote in his diary:
 The game is off. My dream of sixteen years is ended. l have mace the best fight l knew. believe it was a good one. But I cannot accomplish the impossible"
 By the time Peary reached civili2a- tion; however, he had decided upcn still another trip. With the specially designed ship Roosevelt, Peary drove further into the frozen ocean than na vigators had ever been before. On foot he advanced until his record for this seventh trip stood at S6.6, where starvation and cold again checked !he party.
 The explorer was B years old when in July 1908 he set out on his eighth and successful invasion of the Polar region.
 Captain Bartlett, the veteran na- vigator for Peary, shouted to Col. Roosevelt as the ship was leaving its wharf at New York: "its the Pole or bust this time, MT. President"
 The method of attacking the Pole was in five attachments, pushing north in the manner of telescope. At

1t was on the afternoon of Scptcw Der 6, 1909 that the following few words reported to the civilized worll for the first time this crowning ache. voment of three centuries of effort:
 @INDIAN HARBOR, Via Cape R,y, x. F., September 9th. To the Asso,iar- ed Press, New York.
 Stars and Stripes Nailed to North Pole.
 "PEARY"
 Peary's actual attainment Of the Pole had been just five months befo e, on April 6, 1909.
 When this dispatch came, the wor' ! was, quite unknown to Pcary, already prasing pr. Frederick A. Cook as the diScoverer. Only four days previous 10 the Peary announcement, Cook, who was on his way back to Copenhagnr on board q Danish steamer, had so!a. graphcd the claim that he reached the Pole on April 21, l90S--- nearly year ahead of PCary.
 While Dr. Cooks claim did not % unqucStioncd from the first, he had for days at least been widely acclaim ed as the discoverer of the Pole. With Pcary's message there arose one of the greatest controversies of all ages over the honor of actual first dislov- cry. There can be no one who has for- gotten the dispute. Peary's assertions were not seriously questioned, but among newspaper readers there came to bo two great camps, for and against Cook.
 Pcary with his record of seven sue cessful trips to the Arctic, his officlal standing in the United States Nav" and in scientific circles, easily hell the commanding position in the con troversy. But it was only after the scientific bodies one by one had sifted the evidence and pronounced Cooks claims unfounded that Peary's title as dScoverer of the Pole was really won.
 The bitterness of this episode m only one item in the price which PearT paid for the immortal fame that is now acknowledged to be his. He sp"ns practically all he had in money, gave all that was in him for hard work, and suffered all that the human frame could endure from hunger, cold and disappointment. He made eight jour neys into the Arctic, spent upwards ot half a million dollars and several times he barely escaped the deatl which in various forms had been tho fate of more than 700 explorers before him.
 The first step that led Peary to- ward the Pole was taken in Washing ton one day when he walked into book store to browse and picked up fugitive account of Greenland. He be- came an unsuitable reader on the sub ject of the Arctic.
