FRED FUNSToN'S PIN.
Lost in Alaskan River, 1t is Found in a
Washington Hall.

Washington Hall.
Captain Charles w. Filler of the pen.
sion office has been the means of re.
turning to General Fred Funston, the
gallant Kansan of river-swimming
fame, lost fraternity pin under con.
ditions as peculiar as they are mys
FERROUS.
The pin is the emblem of the Phi
Delta Theta fraternity, and was lost
two years ago by the capsizing of a
boat while General Funston was in
| Alaska on a government mission. The
pin was attached to a vest, and the
vest was in knapsack. When the
boat upset Funston and his Eskimo
companion saved themselves, but all
their belongings were supposed to be
at the bottom of the river
One day last summer workmen were
tearing up the floor of the old ice
rink in Convention hall, and a negro
found a peculiar badge with the name
Frederick Funston" engraved upon
its back. Captain Filler heard of the
incident on the very day that the
story of Funston's swimming episode
was given to the world The identity
of the names struck him as peculiar
and it occurred to him that the pin
might belong to the Kansas fighter.
When he heard that Funston was re-
turning to the states, he wrote letter
that met the General at San Francisco.
In this letter was pencil sketch of
the story OF how ii was found
Captain Filler received no answer to
his letter. and had about forgotten
the circumstance, until few days
ago, when letter reached him that
bore date of last October. 1t had been
returned through the dead letter office,
and Mrs. Funston had made inquiry as
to who Captain Filler is, and redireoted
it. The letter was from General Fun
ston, and was as follows:
The badge of which you speak in
your recent letter was lost by me in
Alaska several years ago. II is GER
tainly very much of mystery how it
ever reached Washington. | recog-
nize it from the description you have
given me. IL is the badge OF college
fraternity to which | belong, would
be under the greatest obligation to you
if you would get hold of it and send
1t to me; even If ii is necessary to pay
something to the man who now has ii,
although he is in no way entitled to
it. and has no right to wear the badge
of a society of which he is not a mem.
Der. Thanking you most sincerely for
your kindness, am"
Captain Filler hunted up the negro
who had found the pin, and secured
possession of ii by paying him 50. II
is now on its way to General Funston.
How it found its way from an Alaskan
river to Washington skating rink is
a mystery that may never be solved

CLANS FROM DE EP SEA.
Tons of Them Washed Up on Jersey
Coast Recently.

Recent severe storms along the
Jersey coast in one way have been a
bonanza to the shore clam eaters.
The great seas caused by the long con-
tinued and heavy gales have tumbled
out upon the beach enormous quanti-
ties of the big sea clams, which in calm
weather are almost rarity, and even
by no means plentiful.
Not for years has there been such d
harvest of this variety of sea food as
within the past ten days. Farmers by
the score from far back in the country
have been driving to the shore and
gathering up wagon loads and taking
them back to their homes for their
family use or for distribution among
neighbors who either had not time or
facilities for getting to the beach and
helping themselves. The CLAIMS have
simply been gathered in by the ton,
for, of course, the beachcombers
themselves were on deck and took
care that all the clans did not go in
land.
Torn from their beds far out from
the shore, the big shellfish were
caught up by the huge, incoming
rollers and pitched and tossed in the
turf until thousands of them were left
high and dry upon the sand But the
biggest finds were in the undertow,
where men and boys stood in high top
rubber boots scooping out the big fell
lows with crabnets. Those who were
in the business for keeps had to have
assistants standing back of
them on the sands, to
to whom they tossed their finds
as they gathered them out of the surf
The assistants piled them up in heaps
and watched over them until there
was enough for a wagon load, when
the clam fisher quit and gave his place
to somebody else.
The big sea clam. Macira gigantea,
although not so sweet as the soft clam
from the mud bottoms. when properly
cooked is an article OF food that is
by no means to be despised. You will
not, perhaps, have quite so keen an
appetite for him if you see him when
he is taken out of the shell. for he is
not handsome to look at To be sure,
he is like any other hard shell clam
for that matter, for. like the massive
woman aesthetic in Patience" there
is. too much of him. He gives a gen.
eral soft. porky, flabby impression
which is not inspiring.
Often the solid meat alone taken
from between the enormous, smoothly
rounded shells of single clam will
weight nearly. if not quite, quarter
of a pound. The Jersey housewife
usually chops the clam into small bits
in wooden chopping bowl. and when
he is served, rolled in nice egg batter
and fried, well. there are worse things
for breakfast than deep sea clans.

NUTS FOR LUNCH
A Happy Scientific Suggestion for
Puzzled Mothers,

A statements by government ex-
pert concerning food vaule of nuts is
boon to mothers who must provide
children with lunches to take to
school According to this expert one
pound of nut kernels is equal in food
value to one pound of wheat flour. and,
generally speaking, nuts are not in
digestible. If they appear so, it is
because they are eaten either ir-
regularly between meals or topping a
heavy meal when the stomach is not
in proper condition to handle any
hearty food. Used as substitute for
other food, they give no bad results
under ordinary circumstances.
Furthermore, the housewife will re-
fleet, nuts as food are valuable from
the fact that they require no cooking.
Also, they are easily carried and
children like them-two points of i'm
portance to the conscientious mother,
who, putting up school lunches, finds
commonly that her dietary theories
require somtheing like a steam boiler
and horse and wagon to complete
the operation; then, when this health
food is laboriously compounded and
duly conveyed to little Johnny, for
sooth! he loathes it and slyly sub
stitutes green cucumber pickles and
cream puffs purchased at the lunch
counter just around the corner ION
school.
All healthy children will eat nuts,
especially peanuts, which the &c sern-
ment experts assures us are SO nu
tr1tious that one quart is equal in food
value to pound of rump steak. The
money cost is cents. The tired
mother, therefore. who endeayors
strenuously to keep up with duty as
DEFINED by modern science for the
household may start her boys and
girls off to school with generous bag
OF peanuts each morning and revel in
the unaccustomed JOY of knowing that
thus in one particular has she fully
satisfied the desire of human nature
and the authority of expert opinion.

foreign commerce of the fiscal year
1900: First, it exceeded that of any pre-
ceeding year, and for the first time the
grand total of imports passed the two
billion dollar mark; second, manufac-
tureTs' materials formed larger pro-
portion of the imports than ever be-
fore; third, manufactured goods
formed a larger proportion of the ex-
ports than ever before; fourth, exports
were larger than ever before, and were
more widely distributed than in any
preceding year.
The imports Of the year were S849,-
941, 1874, against s697 LAB, 4S9 in 1899, an
increase of $152, ,695. This large in
crease, however, is chiefly in manufac-
turers' materials.
The total exports of the year were
valued at 1894, 4S3 ,O82, of which
1870 1881 were of domestic produc-
ton. OF this vast sum manufactures
formed 31.65 per cent, against 2S2t per
cent. in 1899, 23.7O per cent in 1895,
and 1887 per cent. in 1890.
| The commissioner general of immi-
grafton, in the annual report Of the
operations Of his bureau for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1899, submits tab
ulated statements showing the arrival
in this country during that period OF
448,572 alien immigrants, 425,372
through ports Of the United States and
23,200 through Canada. OF these
304, 14S were males and 144, 424 females,
54,624 were under IA years o. age
370,382 were from IA to As years old
and 1856 were 45 and over.
The secretary then takes up the ques-
ton of reduction of the revenue, which
promises to show an excess of receipts
for the coming year of $26 10000 over
the expenses of running the govern
ment
The report, in closing, urges action
by congress to further strengthen the
currency laws. The operation of the
act of March IA last is praised, but the
secretary thinks that there appears to
be lacking sufficient mandatory re-
quirements to furnish complete conf
dence in the continued parity under all
conditions, between our two forms of
metallic money, silver and gold. Upon
this point further legislation may be-
| come desirable.

New kipling Story.

Here is an amusing story which is
told of Kipling by Cecil Rhodes. After
the siege of Kimberley they were both
staying at beautiful little Dutch
farm, the home of one of Mr.. Rhodes
managers. One morning early the
flag was hauled down from the flag
staff, probably by some rebels. and the
manager was so afraid lest Rhodes
keen eye should notice it that he nur-
riedly begged the privilege of showing
him round the fruit farms before
breakfast. Mr.. Kipling, who was in a
dreamy mood, stayed behind. But
dreaminess presently gave place to
hunger as time went on.
and Mr.. Rhodes did not an.

and the manager were surprised to

der. When he first came to America,
James MCFARLAND was coachman for
a neighbor of Allan Pinkerton. The
detective chief was attracted to him by
his peculiar ways and Irish wit"
In the archives of the Pinkerton
detective agency is history of the
Molly Maguires containing the argu-
ment Of Franklin B. Gowen in the case
of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania
against Thomas Munley, tried and con-
victed of the murder of Thomas San
ger, a young English boss miner. Mr.
Gowen told of the efforts to discover
the leaders of the order. He came to
realize that detectives alone could
learn the motives of the assassins, and
he applied to Allan Pinkerton of Chi
cago. James MCFARLAND was selected.
He went to the Anthracite region in
1873, and within six months had so far
won the confidence of the class OF
people constituting this order that he
was admitted as member. His plan
was first to study the different sections
of this disturbing regions and then en-
roll himself in the order. He remained
in each district until he had mastered
its secrets and woven web of evidence
around the chief instigators of crime.
McParland's appearance in the wit
ness box fell like a thunderbolt among
the still confident Ancient Order of Hi
bernians. This same James Mcfarland
is now assistant superintendent of the
Pinkerton agency in Denver.
