TEXAX SENDS UNCLE SA3I
A PRESENT OF $1 CASH
Washington D. C Dec. 23. Uncle
Sam received his first Christmas pres-
ent today. A shock accompanied it
such as would be conveyed to a gentle-
man 134 years of age receiving his first
visit from Santa Claus.
A few days ago a- ranchman wrote
f from San Antonio to secretary Mac-
veigh asking for a copy of the esti-
mates of the expenses of government
for 1911. He enclosed also a $1 bill.
Robert O. Bailey Mr. MacVelgh's sec-
retary sent the estimates showing it
will cost the government about $680-
000000 to run things another year and
returned the $1.
Today the ranchman's reply was re-
ceived. The same $1 bill came with it.
"Take my dollar" he wrote "and
play ten ways against the expenses of
ten different departments with a mer-
ry -Christmas.'
j There have been many contributions
j to the conscience fund but this is the
j first time on record that a patriot has
j made a Christmas present.

Grace Benson famous for the mar-
velous beauty of her hands and arms
in a recent interview says: "If I
could tell every woman about the
prescription that has caused all this
talk about my hands and arms'they
could every one of them make their
hands and arms just as beaut&ul aa
mine. I am glad to have the oppor-
tunity to give my receipt free to the
world. It will help every woman to
Improve her personal appearance."
When I asked her if she "would allow
me to publish the precription she
quickly answered: "Certainly only
too glad to have you do it." Turning
to a desk she wrote it on a slip pf
paper and handed it to me; here It
is "Go to any drug store get an
empty two ounce bottle also a .one
ounce bottle of Kulux Compound.
Pour the entire bottle of Kulux into
the two ounce bottle add quarter of
an ounce of witch hazel then fill wJth
water. Apply night and morning."
She further said: "This prescription
makes the skin transparent and re-
moves all defects such as freckles
tan sunspots roughness and ruddi-
ness. A single application works a
marvelous transformation." "Where
low collars are worn it can be applied
to the neck with equally as startling
results. It is absolutely harmless
and will positively notst!mulate or
produce a growth of hair'.
Explorer Says He Thinks
He Grot to the North
Pole.
Xew York Dec. 23. Dr. Frederick A.
Cook came back to his native land
Thursday on the steamship George
Washington as calmly as if there had
never been a -north pole controversy.
He said little. A type written inter-
view handed to reporters embraced
all that he had to say with the excep-
tion of the necessary formalities of
conversation thrust upon him by inter-
viewers. "I spent weeks preparing my story
and I have frankly said in it all that
there Is to say" his written statement
said.
"Every charge against me is taken
up and answered in its proper place in
my narrative.
"I do not know what my plains for
the future will be. I have not returned
to America with the Intention of mak-
ing money out of my arctic experi-
ences. I have come back solely for
the purpose of rehabilitating myself
and my family by setting matters right
with 'my countrymen."
Dr. Cook boarded the ship at Bre-
men they said wearing a full beard
but had It shaved off on the first day.
His name did not appear on the passen-
ger list at first but later was placed
as Herr Dr. Frederick A. Cook on a
supplementary list. He was an unos-
tentatious passenger playing cards
evenings with friends. Once when the
toasts were going round before bed-
time and it came his time to name a'
health he was quick to propose the
stars and stripes.
One" time a passenger who had not
remarked him before asked brusquely:
"Are you Dr. Cook?" He answered:
"My name is Cook."
"Are you the doctor Cook who went
to the north pole?" persisted the ques-
tioner. "I have been there" asserted the doc-
tor gravel y.
The typewritten interview did not
satisfy the reporters. They plied him
with questions but to almost all of
them he parried:
"That has already been covered In
the statement" or "I shall answer that
in full later."
"You have written doctor: 'After
mature thought I confess that I do not
know absolutely whether I reached the
pole or not.' Do you believe that you
aid?"
"I still believe it."
"Does your uncertainty at all ex-
tend to your ascent of Mount McKin-
ley?" "Not in the least. I shall have a re
ply to make to Prof. Herschel C. Par-
ker's lntftst attack on my ascent of
Mount McKinley in a few days." j
"Did you stii believe in your records
when you sent them to the University
of Copenhagen?"
"Oh certainly."
"Then why did you call Capt. August
C. Woods to aid you in completing
them?"
"That will be answered in the next
statement."
"Why did you choose to make this
Statement to the public for money
thrugh the medium of magazines rath-
er than to the University of ' Copen-
hagen which had honored you"with a
degree?"
"I wanted a medium that would be
free from bias."
"Yet you accept the verdict of the
university?"
"Yes I think we have accepted that."
"And you believe that Perry got to
the pole."
"I have never questioned it."
"Shall you enter into any debate with
them?"
"Impossible. -That is not my man-
ner." "Did you intend to take part in any
other polar or antarctic expeditions."
"I am through with exploration. There
is no other point on the slobe where I
particularly wish to go."
The doctor said that what he intended
to do with the instruments and Tecords
which he says are at Etah would be
told later. He was emphatic that they
were "as correct as any explorer's in-
struments" and that "no polar proofs
are positive." He reiterated that al-
though he was not a mariner he was
competent to make observations to de-
termine his position.
From the steamer he went directly
to the Waldorf Astoria where he stayed
on his welcome home from Copenhagen.
Mrs. Cook and the children he said
were still in France where the chil-
dren were going to school.

ENE3IIES OF PINCHOT ARE
TRYING TO PROVE DISHONESTY
Denver Colo. Dec. 23. The Post
this evening- says.
"In an effort to secure enough evi
dence to prosecute Gifford Pinchot on
the charge of misappropriation of gov-
ernment funds while holding the po-
sition of chief forester secret agents
are scouring the country. They are
backed by cattlemen of Colorado Mon-
tana Idaho and other states as well
as people who have suffered financial
and other losses In the forest fires in
the last year. Two of them (have spent
the last week in Denver. l
"The movement it is reported iD
dispatches from Montana and Idaho
had Its inception in those two states
and the instigators have been to Wash-
ington checklngup the records to see
where every dollar of the forest serv-
ice appropriation went. When they
finished in Washington they headed
for the west and have been in every
important center where the forest
service has offices.
"The charges in a general way are
that millions have been spent by the
forest service in theoretical notions
while human lives were being sacri-
ficed in the xforest fires."
