;FUNSTON'S STIRRING CAREER )
Has Sought Adventure in Many Places
and Has Never Sh;rked Danger.

A red-headed man with low, sweet
voice, is making the Twentieth Kan
sas the most famous American regi-
ment now fighting the Filipinos. He
only weighs 115 pounds, but-he can
fight. More than that, he will fight.
The story of Brigadier General Fred
Funston, late Colonel of the Twenti.
eth Kansas. reads more like tale
from the exploits of the "White Com.
pany," romance of knightly times,
than matter-o of-fact relation of what
a nineteenth century jayhawker has
done.
Funston's character as soldier and
combatant is summed up in the terse
expression of one of his own men
"bottled vitriol."
The Twentieth Kansas is not regi-
ment composed of handsome men. As
beauty show it would 60 into bank.
ruptcy. So far as possible every man
in it was selected for his ability to en-
dure and fight and not with view to
his good looks. The selection of the
men was largely left to Funston, and
that his Judgment was exceptionally
good is proved by the terrible deeds
his men are performing on the island
of Luzon.
The men are Kansas farmers, of the
horny-handed type, bullwhackers from
the plains, blacksmiths, city laborers,
descendants not only of the old Free
Soil settlers, but of the early Confed-
crate rangers; men who can shoot,
swim, live on air, and sing hymn.
Funston fought in Cuba with the
Cuban army until the destruction OF
the Maine brought him back to his
own country. He ia but thirty.three
years DID, yet he has engaged in
twenty.three battles in Cuba and six
or more in Luzon. His left arm has
been INITIATED for life by shell, his
lungs pierced by Mauser bullet, his
thigh crushed by horse plunging
during battle, his system racked by

Bore His Loss in Silence.

The following episode happened at
the recent brilliant charge of the
Twensy-drst Lancers, at the fall OF
Omdurman:
One of the men got his thumb cnt
of, and turning to his chum, an Irish
man, calculated:
"Whatever shall I do? I'm done
for life."
Pat, taking things somewhat coolly
and thinking his chum was making o
fuss over a mere triae, responded,
solemnly:
"Begorra, that's nothin' to make a
fuss about; here's poor Jones wild his
head cut of, an not a word is he
sayin'."

Cuban fever. He was captured by the
Spaniards in Cuba and sentenced to
death, but escaped While on an ex-
pedition to Alaska he was pitched into
the Yukon River and narrowly escaped
drowning. Within the circumference
of the arctic circle he was nearly frozen
to death, and then fought pneumonia
to the very door of death. Of pract-
cally no physique, but five feet four
inehes in height, his endurance and
escape make him one of the most re-
markable personages connected with
the American army. $50.

A Family Disagreement.

In home out in the country, not
far from town, we are int nrmed, there
may be seen quite pile OF sewing
lying on the floor, nearly y in the mid
die of the room, that has been lying
there undisturbed for more than six
months. At that time the head of the
house wanted chair, and, seeing but
one handy, he dumped to the floor the
sewing which lay upon it. His wife
asked him to pick it up. he said he
wouldn't do it. She told him al he
threw it there it could remain until
he got ready to pick it up. She
would never touch it. And there it
remains o memorial to an incoInpati-
bility of disposition. New York Com
