A SWORD FOR FUNSTON.
Kansas Citizens TO Present Him
Token of Their Regard.

Topeka, Kan. May S.-Kansas will pre-
sent to General Funston on his return
home a sword in recognition of his valor-
Gus deeds in the Philippines. A popular
subscription is asked from the people of
every community in the State. The appeal
for funds says:
The fame of Funston is the glory Of
Kansas. Wherever his extraordinary deeds
of daring and generaiship are mentioned
the name of Kansas is coupled with them.
His regiment has made an immortal name
in the history Of the nation, and no histo-
ry of Kansas will ever be complete with
out the thrilling chapter recounting the
deeds of the famous Twentieth in the
Philippines. In recognition of the SER
vices rendered to Kansas by General Fun
ston his friends and admirers will unite
with enthusiasm in the proposed move
ment to present him with a sword as a
popular testimonial Of the feeling Of the
State. This sword should be the finest
that American industrial skill can turn
out. AS Maryland honored Schley and
other States have honored other distin-
guished sons Kansas will honor Funston
A committee of wellknown citizens of the
State will be named to select the trophy
and it will be presented to him as a part
of the ceremonies attending the home
coming Of the regiment"

THE new PUBLIC
PRINTING OFFICE
To Be the Most Complete in
the World.
Seven Stories in Height, With Nine
Acres Of Floor Space.
Fifteen Million Pounds of Steel to
lie Used in Its Com
struction.

The United States Government Is to
have the most complete printing estab-
lishment in the world. According to the
estimates OF experts in the Government
employ. this will be an accomplished fact
within three years. The equipment of this
publication plant is to excel in every way
thai OF the largest printing establishments
and is to be capable OF every kind of press
work known to the art
The new Printing Office is to replace a
structure which for years has been de-
clared uninhabitable, and would have dis
appeared years ago but for controversies
in Congress regarding the selection of a
site for the new building.
For years the late Senator Malone. OF
Virginia, was interested in a plot CT
ground which he endeavored to sell 20 the
Government. Other interested parties also
tried to dispose of lots, and not until a
year ago was the present site selected.
Recently the condemnation proceedings
were concluded. Congress has voted
81. 600 for the building. and the site
will probably cost at least $500. .0G0. The
actual work Of construction is not to begin
for at least one year. but the excavation
and possibly the foundation will be Under
way, it is estimated, in three or four
months. and the building ready for use in
about thirty months.
Some facts concerning the immense size
of the new structure and its capacity have
been secured from Lieut.. J. S. Sewell.
Corps of Engineers. Lieutenant Sewell is
TO design the foundation section, the iron
work, and have charge of the installation
of the electrical machinery and the aux
iliary engines. An architect will have
charge of the plans for the building prop
er. The structure will face on North Capt.
tol Street, near the present Government
Printing Office, and with a side on G
Street. Its dimensions will be 4OS feet by
115, and in height it will be seven stories,
OF about l25 feet above the pavement. Its
floor area will be 1000 square feet, or
more than nine acres of ground.
Some idea of the enormous size of the
building may be gathered from the fact
that at least 100000 pounds of steel
will be used in its construction. and be-
tween nine and ten million bricks. Its
architecture wih be pleasing but not
elaborate. nor will the building have ex-
pensive stone trimmings. AS far as prac-
ticable it will be fireproof. and according
to Lieutenant Sewell. a great fire in the
building will be practically impossible
AS compared to the present building the
new structure will have at least 30 per
cent more room for employees. and in an
emergency nearly six thousand persons
may work in its various departments. TIE
present structure houses about 3.0t0 en-
ployes, all of whom are crowded and lack
proper room for working to the best ad-
vantage

A LION HUNT IN AFRICA.
The Plucky Pursuit of n Native Boy
of TOrO.
From the Wide World Magazine.)

From the Wide World MagazineD
While staying in one of the suburbs OF
| the capital of Toro / was one morning
called up by the chief to come n; once
and shoot lion that was doing great dam
age in the district and had lust then kill
ed poor woman while cultivating her
garden. She was STOPPING down pulling
up some weeds. when in front of her she
heard the horr!d roar of q lion. Looking
up in speechless horror, she saw in the
grass few yards away huge male lion
apparently about to spring upon her; but
just at that moment the lioness which had
crept up behind her, sprang out, and with
an awful stroke OF the forepaw killed her
where she stood. and then carried her off
into the thicket. As soon as | heard this
story | started OFF with a couple of my
boys to hunt the lions. but although |
spent the whole day searching not a lion
did | see. The mangled remains of the
poor woman We discovered. but the lions
kept out of our way. However a few Gays
after this, a party OF native hunters. re-
turning from their days hunt after small
antelope, were attacked by the same lions.
Walking in single file through the long
grass on the narrow path. the man at the
end of the line was suddenly seized rom
behind by the lioness and instantly killed
and carried of.
The rest of the party made off with all
L
the man killed. and he. amazingly plucky
little fellow that he Is actually turned
back, and. armed with nothing but a small
spear. followed the blood stained track
through the thicket. After a little while
he came upon the lioness in the act of de-
vouring his father Without a moments
hesitation this brave little chap rushed
at the huge beast, and the lioness, becom-
ing aware of his approach. left her prey and
sprang upon the boy. BY a merciful Prov
idence the spear which the boy carried
entered the breast of the lioness. and by
the brute's own weight was forced right
into its body, piercing the heart, and the
great creature rolled over stone dead. The
boy was utterly unharmed. Rapidly with
drawing his little weapon. he rushed to
the mangled remains of his father, and
while bending over them the male lion
came roaring through the thicket. The
grief-stricken lad sprang up, and with al
most superhuman courage rushed toward
the second lion, waving aloft his blood
stained spear. and shouting: Come on:
come on; I'll kill you also,' But the male
lion was so discounted by the unexpected
approach of the lad that he turned tail and
fled. leaving his spouse dead by the side
of her mangled prey.
The boy then went home to his village
and called his friends to come and bring
the dead lioness to the king. and this was
done. The brave little fellow was suitably
rewarded by Kasagama for his wonderful
pluck and he made him his own page. l
photographed him, with his little spear all
blood-bespotted. just after his noteworthy
act of bravery.

LIVES WITHOUT A STOMACH.

Ideas Regarding Digestion.

Ideas Regarding Digestion.
San Francisco May S.-An Italian named
Juan Patritti has upset all preconceiyed
ideas In regard to digestion and nutrition.
Without stomach, and consequently with
out assistance Of gastric juices, he digests
and grows fat on soups, sphaghetti, rayi-
ola, tamales, beef mutton. and pork, prop
erly seasoned with garlic, and drinks his
usual allowance of wine
A year ago Patritti was dying of cancer
OF the stomach. Today he is hale and hear
ty, does his days work at plowing or driv-
ing milk wagon. and does not know what
dyspepsia means. During the past year
Patritti has done so well that he has pur-
chased ticket for Europe. and next week
he starts on trip to Italy to visit his old
home.
When the Italian was admitted to the
hospital his case seemed hopeless, but the
doctors decided as a last resort to remove
the whole stomach. With the assistance
OF Drs. Frazer. kingwell. McMonogal, and
Bailer. Dr. Macdonald successfully per-
formed the operation.
A month after the operation Patritti
thought he was well enough to go home
so without asking anybody's leave he Slip
ped out of the hospital and was met on
Market Street during the afternoon by Dr.
Macdonald carrying a gripsack weighing
twelve pounds. He objected strenuously
to being taken back TO the hospital, but
DR.. Macdonald insisted. and back he went.
He was kept in st. Mary's until July %.
when he was discharged. At that time he
weighed lO7 pounds and gave the doctor to
understand that his usual weight was l35
pounds. From the hospital Patritti went
back to his ranch in San Mateo county.
and there he has lived and worked ever
since regaining his strength and weight.

Plenty of Work in Illinois

Chicago, H.. May S.-Keeping pace with
the general move of prosperity which is
sweeping over the country is demand for
all kinds of labor, from the shoveler to the
skilled mechanic. The Tribune" through
nois, has received reports of the prevail
ing condition OF the labor market. Ex-
cept in one or two instances the demand
exceeds the supply. the State capital be-
ing the only notable exception. Other
points report an unprecedented revival of
manufacturing and general improvement.
The general tone of all reports is that no
man seeking work need look for it long If
he is really in earnest. Railroad extern
sions. local municipal improvements, and
farm work can more than occupy all the
laborers in need of steady employment
