it is true that Jerome and this

A Kansas City girl who put a
matrimonial" advertisement in
a recent number of the Star is
probably still gasping for breath
over the following letter which
reached her few days ago:
Liberal, Kan, Nov. my
Dear Young Woman: | had just
finished rounding up the market
reports in the Star today when
[ caught your brand in the per
sonal column, and as I'm Just
about the swiftest thing that
comes down the pike, made up
my mind right away that you're
just the maverick that I want to
get my rope on, SO if you want
to be queen Of my heart and
1900 head of the best white-face
cattle in this neck of the woods,
Just send the old man a line, and
we'll be running our herd on the
same range quicker'n n bucking
horse can pitch a cowboy into
the middle of next week.
Before you put your sig. onto
that letter you're a-going to
write me, just tell me all about
yourself-whether you are full
blue blood or just a common
dogie, and If you ride. a leaping
horn saddle, or have you got onto
that new-fangled way some of
the city girls have Of riding
clothespin fashion. I wouldn't
object, exactly, if you do ride
thata- way, but if you'd just as
soon not, I'll get the best buck
skin sidesaddle in the market,
with lots Of gingerbread on the
tapideros and silver iinglebobs
all over it.
eff you want to know any
thing about me, just write to
Kilgore & Hays, Liberal, and if
theydon t tell you I m z straight
fellow and have the best ranch
in the Panhandle, and can ride
the meanest bronco and rope
more steers than any galoot on
the range, I'll eat my sOmbrero,
and it's a handmade Mexican
one, that weighs eight pounds
and cost S14.
'Rope you won't get on the
prod at this letter, for I never
was much at singing words and
always fought shy of the girls,
and as | never wrote a love letter
in my life and never sign any
thing but checks, you'll have to
counter-brand anything you do
not like in this letter. I'm a.
goin' TO send my face along with
this, SO you can see what kind
of d locker I am, and hope it'll
suit you. Return the comp,
can't you?
"Well, I'll have to rope, off or
some gal0Ot will be shooting
holes in me for running on his
range. Hope to get that letter
by next mail. Yours, if you'll
have me,

The humane man instintively,
at first thought, looks upon
capital punishment with horror.
But, those kind of men, in this
age of the world, never become
subjects to such punishment.
The man whom it is necessary
to kill for the benefit of society,
is generally only humanin shape,
having not nearly the humane
and refined instincts of our more
intelligent fourfooted friends
such as ST. Bernard and New
Foundland dogs and other such
beasts of noble instincts. The
assassin who kills incold blood,
for coin or revenge, as well as
the genuine rape fiend, should
be gotten out Of the way as a
matter of public safety. In fact,
public safety, demands it as
much as it demands the removal
Of any other evil which is a con
stant menace to the personal
safety Of all the people.-Pres

FUNK WINS A WAGER.
Bet n Box of Cigars Tint He Would
Not he Hanged Today,

Whatever may OF may not be said a
Frank William Funk. under sentence to
hang at the District jail on Noeymber 9,
for the alleged murder Of William II.
Brooks in June 1885, the fact remains that
he is an apathetic of the most pronounced
type. Though considerable has been writ
ten abou: the man. IL has never been said
that he has shown lack Of nerve in the
face of death. Funk declares that he Will
never show the white feather In fact, his
last declaration, made Saturday, after he
was informed that Justice Cole had re-
fused to grant etay of execution pending
the application for writ OF certiorari, was
to the effect that he had not yet aban-
doned hope and would not. He also stated
that II the courts go decreed that he was
TO die today with Benjamin H. Smell it
would be his pleasure to show the muir
derer of Lizzie Wiesenberger how to die
As an evidence of the carelessness of the
nan he made a bet OF a box of cigars with
o newspaper man that he would not hang
today. Funk proposed the bet and the re-
porter. more out of compassion for the
condemned man than anything else accept
ed It. The conditions of the bet were that,
in the event that the President refused to
interfere in the matter the reporter was
to call at the Jail on June rs yesterday
and accept a box of cigars which Funk
would have ready. II, on the other hand,
the President did grant stay of execu-
ton, the reporter was to furnish Funk with
a box of cigars. AS further indication
Of the fearlessness OF Funk, he said after
the bet had been made that, in the event
he lost, he would ask the privilege OF
smoking one of the cigars in the company
of the reporter the night before the execu-
ton. f
The President granted Funk respite.

and though that fact would be expected to
so fill the mind of the man that he would
not think of anything else. particularly a
small bet, such was not the case. Yester-
day the reporter received a letter from
Funk reminding him of the debt and re-
guessing that It be paid. The letter, which
speaks for itself. follows:
Dear Sir: desire 10 remind you that you are
indebted 10 me one box of cigars on our wager.

lighteaed days man could be hung by prejudice
alone. Please do not fail TO come around with
the cigars. can smoke with more comfort now.
Respectfully, FRANK W. FUNK
The last sentence of the letter shows
that Funk's sense Of humor has not been

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
 ANSWERED TWO CALLS
Quick Run to Third Avenue and Twenty first Street-Exciting Colloquy
 Over the Telephone.

The fire department responded to two fectve work. The first alarm was turned in at S:10 a. m. from box 8. The roof of the house occupied by Asbury Thompson in Twelfth avenue, between Twentith and Twenty-frst streets, was in flames but the firemen extinguished the blaze quickly and the damage was small There was no n- surance The fire started in a closet but it's origin is not known.
 At 22O fire was discovered in shed in the rear of and adjoining the office of Dr. Luige Cocciola, 2O25 Third avenue, near the co,-ner of Twenty-irst street. An alarm was given by telephone to the department at headquarters.
 .'Dr Coccfoa's office is on fire, 2025 Third avenue" or words to that effect. was the phone message.
 "Is it large or small fire?' the fireman who answered the phone asked-this ques- ton being in accordance with department rules, in order that the foreman may de- eide whether to take out both of the hose wagons or only one.
 'eThere Is fire at pr. Cocciola's, 2O25 Third avenue" was repeated.
 Large or small freq again queried the fireman.
 "No time to answer questions. Come quick" was the nasty reply.
 gT,,a ooIoo,,v onuqlrp,ad onlv vary few seconds. The fireman att the telephone simply did his duty in asking whe ther il was large small fire, and the persor at the other end, seeing the shed in blaze was naturally excited and naturally i'm patient for the protection of the fire de partment
 In less than twenty-five seconds after tn, telephone bell sounded the engine and al the apparatus had cleared headquarters and in less than sixty seconds had reached the cornor of Twenty-frst street and Thirt avenue A stream of water was turned or the burning shed and almost instantly hht fire was quenched. But for the timely ar. rival of the firemen the blaze would have spread and a considerable loss would have resulted. As 1t was the damage was trifing.
 A large crowd gathered in Third avenue thousand or more people on their way home from church being in the locality oi the fire at the time the department dashed on the scene.
 The building occupied by Dr. Cocciola is owned by T. C. Thompson & Bros. There was no insurance.
