FUNSTON AND The BEAR.
William Allen White Tells One On the
General.

William Allen White of Emporia, KAN
has spent the week in Chicago, and bust
! ness has brought him much in the vicin-
ity of The Forest and Stream office, SC
that have met him frequently. MIR.
White as, of course every one knows,
was the author of the famous Whats
the matter of Kansas" editorial, which
reached such prominence in the last presi-
Dental campaign. He is also the author
of the charming 'Boyville" stories, and of
many other magazine contributions. He
will go to the United States senate from
Kansas as soon as he gets old enough,
and we shall hear of him in many differ
ent ways as man prominent in western
affairs. Chiefly admirable is Mr.. White
for his natural bigness of character and
charming indebtedness of disposition.
bit OF a sportsman he is, too, and knows
MS Rockies shrewdly. Gen. Funston of
Kansas, who has made so meteoric rec
ord for himself in Cuba and the Philip
pines, is a great friend of Mr. White, and
the two have hunted together for many
years.
Once upon a time before the game laws
had very much respect given them in Col
orado, these two worthless were on hunt
ing trip in the summer time, out beyond
Estes Park. Here In a little valley they
came upon a deserted village, some scores
OF houses without a single inhabitant, the
dpaHuOleQ camp OF an carrier mining
stampede. They took possession of this
town In the name of Kansas, hosting
over it their broad pennant, and when
they got tired of living in one house they
moved into another. Mr.. Funston, whom
Mr. White describes as a shocking bad
shot, went out hunting regularly after
mountain sheep. and finally succeeded in
killing good ram which they bore in tri-
umph to the house which at the time they
were honoring with their presence. They
had disposed of most of their sheep, when
one morning they were surprised to re-
ceive visit from the game warden. While
Mr.. Funston entertained this man in the
front parlor, Mr. White pulled up a cou-
pie of boards in the drawing room and lost
the head under the house for the time be-
ing: The game warden departed, silenced
and apparently convinced. A few days
later than this Mr.. Funston went out
after raspberries taking his gun along as
usual. He gathered a pail full of berries
which he put in a shady spot and threw
his gun down beside them. Wandering
little way from this spot, he at length
lay down and went to sleep. He was
awakened some time later by an unfa-
miliar noise, and on sitting up saw very
handsome cinnamon bear making for his
pail of berries. 1t needs only be added
that the bear got the berries, the future
general of volunteers making mastery
retreat along the mountain side until he
reached the bosom of the deserted village
aforesaid. Forest and Stream

Charles H. Folwell. Editor of the New
Jersey Mirror Of Mount Holly, is a can
didate for the new office Of Supervisor Of
Legislative Bills. which an act of last
winters Legislature authorizes the Gov
ernor to establish. This new position, 1t
will be remembered. is designed to take
the place of the cumbersome engrossing
department, which has been abolished
The engrossing OF bills, with its accom-
panying abuses and opportunities for dis
honest practices, is a thing of the past
in New Jersey, and hereafter measures
will be considered by the printed copy
only. This is a much needed reform
which, though a long time coming, is
finally here, and here to stay.
The act which abolishes the engrossing
department provides for the new OFFICIAL
designated as the Supervisor of Legisla-
tive Bills. His duty will be to see that
the hills are correctly printed and h
no errors have crept into the printed
copies which find their way to members
desks. 1t is this office which Mr.. FoiWeii
seeks, and it can be truthfully said that
It would be a difficult matter to find a
person better qualified for the position
than he. For two terms he was at the
head of the engrossing department, and
during that time the many abuses which
made that department a crying evil, in
sessions gone by, were totally eradicated-
No errors were Intentionally made in the
engrossing of bills for the purpose OF
holding them up, and no measure was
laid aside in order that more favored acts
might be rushed through. The office was
conducted in a business-like manner, and
one Legislature passed a resolution com
piimenting Mr.. Folwell on the fact that
his office had been conducted that session
without a single error In any of the bills,
a distinction which few, very few, en-
crossing clerks can boast. Governor
voorhees, would do well to f~avorably con-
slider Mr.. Folwelrs candidacy.

pantomimic comedy which the Brothers
Byrne are responsible for begins a weeks
engagement at the Bijou Theatre all next
wk. The new Eight Bells shows great
improvement over it's predecessor in this
line. the sensational features being much
stronger in every way. One can hardly
appreciate the scene of a ship completely
turning around. unless the ship in the
Eight Bells is seen, and the conviction
win come that no more howlingly funny
act was ever devised. 1t is not TO the
lines of the play but to the clever gym
nastic work of the brothers who continue
the life of the performance aided by a
well balanced company, that the success
of the comedy is attributable. From the
rise of the first to the fall of the last cur
tain everybody is working and working
hard.
1t is go from beginning to end and so
humorous are some of the situations that
the audience shows a disposition to re-
sent the excellence of the per-
Torrance, for laughter towards the
close suggests the explosive ounds from
tired lungs and threats. In the produc-
tion this season, there is a great improv-
ment. showing a desire on the part of the
Brothers Byrne to keep the comedy up to
its original attractiveness. And they sue
coed in giving a very entertaining and
catchy performance. Taken in it's entire
ty the new Eight Bells is a nautical
wonder and preserves its success.

HOW ARCHIE BOYS cor HIS START


This story is told on Archie Boyd, who
comes to the Academy of Music next
week as THE Village Postmaster" When
he started his histrionic career in De Bars
stock company in st. Louis in the sixties
his chief ambition was to be advanced
from second comedy parts to the position
of first low comedian. One day Mr.. De
Bar cast the young actor for Squire
Canon in wild Oats" informing him of
the fact by handing him the marked part
in the book.
Boyd was naturally astonished. and on
the instant said: 'tMr. De Bar, I can't

You can't, hey?' said the old manager,
