Ice Cutting Day Came

In connection with the possibility of Gen.
eral Funston having political ambition
j. w. Gleed tells story to writer in the
Kansas City Journal which gives much in
sight into the character of the man. Geed
was In New York on the day Funston
sailed away to join the insurgent forces
in Cuba, and accompanied him to the
steamer to say good-by. While the pair
were talking at the steamer landing Fun
ston spoke of his probable future and
said:
willis, I have no ambition to get rich.
1 wouldn't go into politics for anything.

ly seen ambition. But nevertheless / want

OglesbY,s Hand ValIse

An old friend of Ex-Governor 0glesby
tells a reminiseence of a valise He was
travelling through the state and met the
governor on the train.
"Come and sit with me-" said the COVER
nor.
When they were seated tho latter drew
out a valise that had a peculiar and handy
way of being opened from the top. 1t was
made of strong leather and had tags pasted
all over 1t.
81 carried this valise through the Holy
Land" said the governor. II think a
great deal of It."
81 suppose it brings up some pleasant
memories" suggested the other traveller.
More than that" was the reply and
the keen eyes of the governor twlnkled
as he reached down and touched button
and tho valise opened Immediately but
cautiously at the top. 1t opened wide
enough to admit hand and to permit 1t
to withdraw with a black bottle in Its
clutch.
This Is a great valise. I can get a
bottle out of 1t and nobody ever see me-"
When the residence of Ex-Governor
Oglesby burned a few years ago all OF his
literary monuments, his private papers or
every sort, his swords, and all of his war
trophies were destroyed. A short time af-
ter the caamitous fire he met this same
peripatetie friend.
at was a great loss you sustained gov
ernor" he said.
Eyes, all my papers are gone. Sorry
to lose them, too, and then my swords
are gone, too, I was sorry to lose them,
and I know you'll be grieVed to hear IT.
that vaIise was burned up. Yes, It's gone.
Bob Ingersoll gave me that valise and j
did hate to lose 1t, it was so handy.

REFLECTIONS or A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
It's as easy to be good as it is not to be
bad.
A lover doesn't get half SO scared that
girl won't marry him as that she will
marry somebody else.
The woman who marries for the joy of
wifehood contents herself afterward with
the solace of motherhood.
Children first learn deceit in concealing
from their fathers that they know they
don't know so much as they pretend to the
children.
When a man is pondering deeply as to
whether he shall bet horse straight or
for place. his wife feels sorry that his
business makes him think so hard.

Hind Side Before.

The first sign of the outbreak
of the regularly recurring row in
the Ohio Republican camp was
made the other day by Governor
Bushnell, when he went for
Hanna in this fashion:
"Whenever Senator Hanna
finds himself getting the worst
Of it he runs behind the Presis
dent and tries to make out that
the administration is being ass
sailed. Had it not been for the
tight hold he had upon the coats
tails Of Mckinley he would never
have succeeded in being dragged
into public life. When We seek
to eliminate Hannalsm from the
Republican party, we do not
thereby cast any ref9ction upon
the Republican party"
This promises chat the row
this year is going to be much
fiercer than usual, aud for that
We are thankful. It is to be hoped
that it will become so fierce that
one faction will swallow the
other aud then swallow itself.
But we respectfully submit
that Governor Bushnell has got-
ten things hind side before. The
fact is that the relations Of Nc
Kinley and Hanna are just the
reverse of those described by
Bushnell, It is the President
who has been doipg, and still
continues to do, the coat~tail
swinging act, and it is highly
probable that but for his grasp
upon Hanna's coat tails he would
never have been dragged into
the presidential char.

sentiment of admiration and
gratitude on the part of the
Americans for the victor Of Ma

country, if by these se4-backs IN

feeling of new strength is a fact"
ENRIQUE GUERRA.

AS spring comes on; most women
and many men who have lived hot
house lives during the winter, find
themselves unduly fretful, unable to
sleep soundly, without appetite,
easily tired, frequently distressed
by headaches, and lacking ''snap"
and strength-the result of poor
blood and weak nerves..
To those in this condition, the
thousands of testimonials from peo-
pie like Mr.. Guerra who have been
benefited by Paine's celery COM
pound, should be reason enough for
giving this best of all spring rem
edies at least a trial. What it has
done for others, it will do for the
reader. It will purify the blood;
clear the complexion, r~ejuvenate the
exhausted nervous system, insure
good Digestion, bring on healthy
sleep, and restore ones strength
and vitality.
No other medicine in the world
ever accomplished SO much; and O
single trial will add another to the
long list of people in every commune
ty who gratefully sound the praises
OF Palne's celery compound.

THE RALEIGH AGROUND.
The Accident Occurred in Entering
Charleston HarbOr.

Charleston, S. G., May 9.--The
cruiser Raleigh. which was bound
in to be present at the Confeder-
ate Reunion, went aground early
this morning, about 300 feet out
Of the south jetty.
Captain Coghlan declined as
sistance from all tugs.
Late this afternoon when the
tide filed the cruiser was pulled
off and proceeded up the harbo1
to her anchorage. It was stated
by her officers that a superficial
examination disclosed no injuries
to her hull.
The Raleigh was coming in
with a coast pilot, and the point
at which she grounded is known
as ''North Breaker just outside
of the jetty. She went on the
shoal broadside and lay easy in
perfectly calm water, and tugs
had no difficulty in freeing her
from her awkward position.
The accident necessi.ated a
postponement Of the official re-
ception to the cruiser, and this
will be carried out tomorrow
morning according to pros
gramme.
