General Funston has turned lee
turer since his return to the United

of the Stanford University in Cali
fornia last night, in the course Of
which he charged the friars with
maintaining the insurrectiou in the
Philippines, and declared II con.
gress would drive out the friars
and conhscate every inch Of church
property the bottom would drop

The British loss in the recent
fights with the Beers are heavy,
and we suppose the Boer losss are
equally as heavy. The lighting
will continue more as a skirmish
until the British can get an army
landed and organized and then the
Boer jig will certainly be up

The Southern Home Journal is on
the city EDITORS desk, thanks to
DR.. Spearman who purchased one
and presented it to US. The editor,
Miss Ida V. May, who was here dur
ing the summer and who made a
systematic canvass for subscribers
under the guise of giving the city
a write up, and who got good list,
and who also promised to mail the
city editor copy for courtesies ex-
tended, but which we feel now as
having acted more of the booster
who got boosted than in any other
capacity. Well the write up in the
book is all right, but my country!
what write-upl It consists wholly
in telling the people that B. H. Fp-
person and John G. Fremont cross
ed over to France and robbed an
estate out of 7OO0,OO0 under the
guise of building the Texas Pacific
& Ell Paso railroad, which they new
er built. After this piece of stale
news the article is composed of
fulsome hattery with photos Of
those whom she shook down for a
"V' or "A like amount. We must
say that the write up of Texarkana
for the cost to those who put up is
mighty steep, and we ask Miss
May to come again and try it over.

SHEEP FOUND IN ALASKA.
Flesh Said to BE the Most Deliciou!
of All Wild Game and L.
Much Sought.

This rare wild white sheep is found
nowhere in the world but Alaska, and
few specimens for mounting whole have
ever been obtained, says writer in
Outing. This species, named owls DALI
by Prof. Dali, differs from it's cousin,
the Rocky mountain big horn (ovis
montana) in color, owls montana being
a dull brown in midsummer, changing
to grayish drab in winter, with light
ashy-colored patch over the rump all
white at all seasons; in fact, there is not
colored hair on any part of it's body.
He is not quite so stockily built as the
''big horn," yet more trim and shapely.
Two of my specimens stood 10 inches
at the shoulder. His limbs are not
quite so heavy, and his horns will not
average as large at the base, although
quite as long. The horns of my largest
specimen of 1897 measured 41A inches
in length and 12% inches in circumfer-
ence at the base.
The flesh is the most delicious of all
wild game. In the summer this sheep
lives chiefly on the. rich, succulent
growth of the asplenium septentrion-
ale, which grows in the crevices of the
rock on the sunny slopes of this ragged
range. This beautiful animal must en-
dure great hardships to survive the win
ters of this icy north. .'-.

THIS CAT REFUSED TO DIE.
How nm Intelligent Pussy Put . Stop
to University Professor's
Denomination. ~

Students Of one of the big universe
ties in this city have q cat that has
utterly refused to become martyr to
science. It's history is another instance
of the refining and elevating influence
of science, says the Chicago Hmes-Her-
aid. = @' X -'7s@.E"',,@@ - - ~t7zs-
Prof. Blank asked ]. P. Morgan, the
janitor to get q cat for him. as he
wished to illustrate his lecture on "Res-
piration" by experiments upon the ami
NAL. Mr.. Morgan succeeded in getting
one with the aid of some small boys.
When his students had assembled the
professor put the cat into the glass
receiver of the air pump and began to
pump out the air. Before the piston had
time to move more than once or twice
the cat began to feel very uncomfort-
able, and, discovering the aperture
through which the air was escaping, put
her foot on it and thus corked the pipe
and stopped the removal of the air.
Several subsequent attempts to car
ry on the experiments were alike inef-
fectual, for as soon as the glass cover
was put over her and she felt the re-
moval of the air the cat would put her
feet over the pipe and keep them
pressed there.
The students, struck by the remark
able intelligence shown by the cat,
asked the professor to iberate the ami
NAL and loudly cheered her self-posses-
sion when the cat, after coolly clean
ing herself and smoothing her ruff1ed
fur, jumped down and rubbed against
the legs of the students sitting on the
front bench. She is now permanently
annexed to the college and an object of
interest to all visitors.

HONOR DUE TO CANADA.
The First Vessel to Cross the Ocean
by Steam Power Sailed
from Quebec.

An interesting but little known bit of
history in connection with early steam
navigation on the ocean was brought
to public attention in the recent address
of the venerable Kivas Tully on his
election to the presidency of the re-
Gently organized Engineers club of To-
ronto, says the Engineering News.
This was to the effect that to the
province of Quebec belongs the credit
of having built the first steamship that
crossed the Atlantic from either side.
The steamship was called the Royal
William, commanded by Capt. McDou-
gall, and sailed from Quebec on August
S, 1888, arriving at Gravesend on Sep
TENDER II, having steamed the whole
distance.
This seems at first sight to contradict
the well-known claims to priority made
for the Savannah as the first steamship
to cross the Atlantic. The Savannah,
however, on her memorable voyage
from Savannah to Liverpool MAY &c,
1919, to June 20, 1919 used her engines
during 10 days and progressed under
sail the remainder of the time, the pad
dlewheels being hoisted on board when
not in use.
The Royal William, therefore, ap-
pears to have been the first vessel to
make the vayoge using steam for the
whole distance.

Permanency of Profession.

Col. Bell, the United States consul at
Sydney, recently appeared as witness
in the divorce court in that city on the
point whether a certain certificate
would be accepted in. the American
courts as formal proof of marriage.
"You are lawyer, think, Col. Bell, -
remarked the judge. 'Well, no, sir -
replied the colonel, with Mark Twain
like drawl; II was once, but / have re-
formed" When the laughter had sub
sided the bench settled the matter with
the dictum: "Once lawyer, always a
lawyer" The colonel then pronounced
the certificates valid from the legal
American standpoint.

PLEA FOR THE GOLDFISH.
A Chief Cook Says This Fish II Not
Appreciated at Its Real
Worth.

IF Goldfish cost a dollar a pound"
said the chef, lit would be more univer-
sally beloved. tell you, it is the best
dinner fish known. I have tried the
whitefsh all over, the world, but the
Goldfish is king of them all and is k:ot
appreciated at his real worth. Cook
him in any way you like and he is de-
licious. Even the dried Goldfish, picked
up and served in cream for breakfast,
is fine dish. Put him in q bag, sew him
up tightly and let him boil, or bake
him carefully, well stuffed, and he is
delicious.
"Let me tell you that when you make
fishcakes you should not drown out the
fish with potato. Put as little potato
or other substance in the cakes as posi-
BILE, and, if you want them as fine as
they can be made, wrap them in a blan-
ket of eggs and do not be sparing of
the egg. You can make a tasty dish of
Goldfish cakes if:you will follow my adj
vice. Fish cakes are considered very
democratic dish, of course, but my
patron, who pays me large salary, is
as democratic as he used to be in his
younger days. When he sends down to
me an order for fish cakes for the next
mornings breakfast he says he wants
Meschutt's fish cakes, with egg. That
is the order, and he is thinking of his
younger life, when, as he once told me,
in a basement on Broadway he used to
get the finest butter cakes and fish
cakes he ever tasted, excepting yours,
Chef he adds always. But l know
that dimes in those days were as thou
sand-dollar bills to him now, and his
appetite was keener and more appre-
ciative"
