The New Kansas Hero.

D"loao nus "Ileucu oVoly Cullcu
"The Duchess de Langeais." The
hero Of that story is M. Armand de
Montriveau, who had done marvellous
things he was all that a hero should
be; he suffered long and came into
his reward, and has been in a meas
ure the worlds ideal of heroic man
Of arms.
Yet the things Fred Funston has
done in truth are as wonderful as the
things Montriveau did in fiction; in
this age Of the commonplace it is hard
to fancy such character as Funston.
To realize his character one must
remember that the world is like a
three or four hinged circus, and that
while the performance is going on in
the nineteenth century ring on Broad
way and in Wall street, there is an
eighteenth ring giving an eighteenth
century performance in the mountains
of Tennessee and in the backwoods
Of Arkansas, and a tenth CEN
fury performance is going on around
Cripple Creek, while at the uttermost
parts Of the earth, where boundaries
of nations are swaying upon the map,
there is sixteenth century perform
ance, and the performers are Just as
truly of that age and time as though
they wore armor and fired blunder.
buses.
Fred Funston was sixteenth cen
fury knight, born three centuries too
late. He did the best he could to rec
tify the error of his birth by prancing
up and down the frontiers Of the
world hunting adventure.
The story CT no other American
who has lived in the last half of the
nineteenth century has SO much adj
venture and romance in it as this
brief story of Fred Funston, rhe
love of the romantic is so strong in
the people, even IN these humdrum
days, that when the young Kansas
colonel comes back to his people he
can have any office within their gift.
He is as honest as he is brave, and

The Journal proceeds in this enter
tanning fashion: The purpose that
Kansas City has in view in this action
is to get the regiment there in order
to draw big crowds for the benefit of
Kansas City. By having the boys
come by way Of New York, Kansas
City hopes to sidetrack the regiment
on its way to the state capital to be
mustered out. 1t is not improbable
that Kansas City will make an at
tempt to get the regiment mustered
out there il it thinks there is any
chance Of success. III have answered

Funston, Of Kansas.

Gee whIz,
What fighter that Funston Isl
Funston, Of Kansas; he
Who, over yonder across the sea,
Out Philippine way,
Three times day,
Grabs a gun
And starts the rebs on run;
And he'll fight
At night;
Or morning or evening or noon
Or December or June,
Or any old time; he
Lives on fighting. Seer
Eats 1t, sleeps with 1t, drlnks:it,
Thinks II,
But never talks it: just does it. Whoop-
And he's got scoop
On the foe.
He doesn't know
What Is not togo
After reb when ones In sight,
Day or night,
And he'll swim river,
Without SILVER,
Through volley OF shot
That will make the water hot.
He's always In 'front.' where
The clrcumamblent air
Is chuck full Of lead
But he keeps his head,
And In minute or two
He's beating a hullabaloo
On the rebs' coat-tails.
He never fails,
And he doesn't know
What II Is to go slow.
OF all the fighters, trained or raw,
Funstons the fghtin'est they ever saw
Out in the Philippines, and
He's keeping right at 1t, hand over hand.
Kansas has her weakness; she may
Want to make currency out Of hay,
And may think gold dollar or two
A regular IS to hoodoo
And she may grow whiskers on Populist chin
But Funston covers multitude OF sins,
Funston, Of Kansas, him
That's dandy Jim
In all kinds Of scraps
With the Malay yaps;
Funston, of Kansas, let the cheers
OF the present and all Of the future years
Be given for him; let his name
Be high as the soldiers Temple OF Fame;
Funston, of Kansas he Is great,
The glory and pride Of the Sunllower State.
