For the Dispatch.)

This summer shirt-waists with shirt
or dress sleeves will be more of a neces-
sity than ever before. For morning there
are the ginghams or Madras waists. in
such profusion that IL is bewildering to
think of them even; then there are the
white pique waists, which are appropriate
for mornings and afternoons. Some OF
these latter are very handsome as will
be seen by our illustrations this week of
one richly embroidered on the material
itself. This waist is an imported model,
and can never be common, both on &C
count Of its cost and its style. Why can
not those of our readers who are en-
broiderers copy IT, instead of making
table and sideboard covers in lace, as so
many seem fond of doing summer morn
ings on hotel verandas? After the pique
waists come those OF white India linen,
jaconet, and all fine muslins. These are
made in many dainty designs, but the
daintiest II has been our fortune 10 be-
hold is the one in our picture. This. for
wear over a colored foundation, is
dream, yet not so elaborate as to forbid
reproduction by the fairy whose home
Is in your sewing machine. For eve
ming wear we have silk waists-white
and all the light shades. White is the
favorite-plain. or with polka dots of
black or of color. The newest of these
have crystal buttons TO fasten the fronts.
and crystal link buttons TO fasten the
cuffs.
Pique skirts will be much worn; the
very SWEETEST, If one may be allowed the
use of the word, are of black pique, or
vice versa. Then there are the white
Hamburg insertions. which are very at
tractive on those black skirts, set on in
straight rows or in Vandyke points.
There will be, however. more white worn
than anything else-it is so cool and so
smart looking that women cannot give

HE started back to Rampant House
and got there just as the morning OF
spring was dawning. He had made a
journey OF 800 miles in the dead of night
of an Arctic winter. Pearys famous jour-
ney in Greenland was only 400 miles, and
Il was made in the light Of midsummer.
He made his report, quit the govern
ment service, and went TO Central Ameri-
ca. where he tried to establish a coffee
plantation, and failed.
Then ne showed up in the Cuban army,
where he served under Garcia, enlisting
as a private, and coming out as Il lieute-
nant-colonel and chief Of artillery in that
division OF the army led by Garcia. He
was wounded three times-once through
the lungs, once through the arm, and
once in the thigh. He lay three months
on a bull-hide hammock I'm the Cuban
hospital. The story OF no other American
who has lived in the last half OF the
nineteenth century has so much adven-

COLONEL FUNsTON's CAREER.
Wherever There Was an Adventure
He Was There, Too.

William Allen White, in an interview
at Emporia, Kan, recently, gave thls
story OF the career of Colonel Frederick
Funston:
Fred. Funston was q sixteenth cen
fury knight, born three centuries 100
late. He did the best he could to rectity
the error of his birtb by prano ~ q"
down the frontiers Of the world hunting
adventure. He got as good an educa-
ton as the schools Of his townsl ip ana
county and State could give him, and In
1850 set out for the jousts and the tour
ney.
He began his career as a Santa re
train collector, and half a dozen cow
boys in New Mexico and Colorado and
Western Kansas, who laughed at the
little toy collector, as they called nm;
put their faces in court plaster ana
bought new guns. one OF his IaVorlte
pastimes was to disarm burly cowboys
who Insisted on shooting holes through
the roof Of the smoker.
"He got a place in the Agricultural De
partment at Washington as botanlst,
and went into Dakota and Montana col
lecting grasses for the collection In the
Government Museum. A year later run
ston was assigned TO the Death NaIey
expedition, which was sent TO survey mat
fearful alkali waste in Southern CalitOr-
mia. where the temperature ranges ABOVE
90 degrees Fahrenheit all the year round.
Every man who went In that expedition
except Funston is either dead or insane.

"One day Funston started across the
the desert, 125 miles, after the mail; ne
got lost; the canister OF water gave
out. his horse fell under him, and for
twenty-four hours he walked without
food or water with the thermometer reg
istering 10, and the sun beating down
upon him. TWO days afterward he wrote
me a letter and devoted less than three
lines to the incident, and IL was only by
prodding and questioning that L ever got
the truth from him. , -,
