but as his means We're limited he could

The Ring Ftnrer

To the question often asked why the
marriage ring should be placed on the left
hand many answers are given. Some say
because the left hand is much less used
than the right. and therefore the ring is
less liable to get broken.
In the British Apollo of 1888 it is stat
cd that for the same reason the fourth
finger was chosen, which is not only less
used than either of the rest, but is more
capable of preserving ring from bruises,
having this one quality peculiar to itself
that it cannot be extended tnt in com
pany with some other finger, whereas the
rest may be singly stretched out to their
full length and straightness

PLAIN TALK BY FUNSTON.

That Does Not Belong to Them.

Says Politicians Arc Claiming Credit
That Does Not Belong to Them.
San Francisco, Oct. 24.-Brig. Gen.
Frederick Funston, in an Interview
yesterday, said:
II am getting tired of the absurd
claims that are being made by certain
politicians of Kansas. Letters have
been written me by certain alleged po-
litical leaders, claiming credit for some
order that has been of advantage to the
regiment or to myself.
They claim credit for the order to go
10 Manila, and further assert that
owe my promotion to brigadier to their
influence. 1t is claimed that the regi-
ment got its order to come home
through the influence of certain politi-
clans, and now comes the absurd re-
port that if these same politicians had
not exerted mighty influence ! would
not have been returned to Manila.
THE fact of the matter is that the
Kansas regiment would have rotted In
the sand let's at Camp Merritt. would
never have gone to Manila. would be in
the Philippines yet, i would still be
Icolonel, and would soon be private
citizen. had it depended on the exer-
ticns or influence of these politicians.
THE Kansas regiment was about the
last regiment to leave San Francisco.
and was the last but two to leave Ma
jnila. A whole hell's acre of political in
tluence would not have affected the or
der of coming or going
Gen. Funston, in speaking of the To-
peka report that he would not accept
the $1,000 sword which the people of
Kansas propose to give him, because of
the inscription, Until my regiment is
mustered out" onthe blade, said:
II certainly do not intend To do any
such thing. l greatly appreciate the
proposed presentation of a sword from
the people of my state, and the inscrip-
ton is one of which | shall always be
proud. ] can see no other reason why
any one should imagine that 1 would
not accept the sword e-Ilh this inscrip-
ton than that had not said the words
thus attributed TO me. But l did say
them.

Grain Letter.

Chicago, oct. 24.-Wheat gets good
deal of sentiment from corn. Not that
the latter is such an advancing mar
ket at present, but one of merit and
feeling in its supply, and increased de-
mand for such an important crop will
develope bull fever in other grains.
This is the chief bull factor and coupled
with the fact that every time it nears
10 and purchasers make money new
friends como in and absorb the offer
ings. AS lorg as this continues prices
will be added to. Dry weather also en-
courages investment buying, but rains
would quickly undo this sentiment. The
position of the two grains. however, are
widely different and while sentiment Is
at times a strong factor, our sugges-
ton would be to accept moderate
profits on long wheat. The worlds
stocks are large.
