GENERAL FUNSTON'S CAREER.
a.ife OF AguInaldo's Captor Has Be
Full Of Adventure,

Life OF AguInaldo's Captor Has Beer
Full OF Adventure
Gen. Frederick S. Funston, the CAP
tor of Aguinaldo, is a native OF Ohio,
although he is a Kansan by education.
His life has been one long story OF
adventure and outdoor life. He was
born in New Castle, Ohio in 1863.
and went to Kansas when he was 16
years old. In March. 1893, he set out
on an Alaskan trip on a commission
given him by Secretary J. Sterling
Morton to collect botanical specimens
for the department of agriculture. He
was in Alaska eighteen months, and
in that time he travelled farther than
any white man ever Travelled there be-
fore. On his return from his Alaskan
trip General Funston spent short va
cation in New York and tried to make
living at newspaper writing. Funs-
ton was wounded three times in Cuba
once through an arm. once through
the lungs. and once his horse fell upon
him. fracturing his thigh From this
wound he was lame when he left Kan
sas with the Twentieth. OF the cx-
periences Of Funston in the Philip
pines much has been written. His
most noted exploit was at the battle
Of Malolos.

Mrs. Nation has scored . point
over the violators Of the law in
Kansas. Judge McCabe, Of
Topeka. Kan, has rendered q de-
cision to the effect that she was
not guilty Of malice towards the
proprietors of the Senate saloon
the place she smashed up two
weeks ago, but destroyed it in
abating public nuisance. If q
few more courts upheld Mrs.
Nation it will cause q whole lot Of
those illegal rum sellers in Kan
sas to quit business right away
quick. While we don't believe
in the wanton destruction of
property we believe that some.
times it is necessary for a Mrs.
Nation to get out and do some
thing to impress law breakers
with the fact that stop can be
put to unlawful deeds.

The North Dakota legislature

remembered as a very extrava-
giant one III more ways than one.
The passing Of the Sharpe bill
or ;ating morelegislatiye districts
and adding members to the dis
tricts already formed, is a meas
ure that is absolutely supertluous
at this time and should receive
the veto of the governor. but we
doubt if it will. The extra cost
to the state each time the legis-
lature meets will beabout$ $50, 600.
We now have in the two branches
of our Legislative body about 40
employees. clerks, ETC., and under
the new deal will have to have
more to satisfy the Unsuitable
greed Of the politicians. The APP
preparation of money for aschool
of forestry at Bottineau is ano.
Their useless luxury and SO it
goes. When the appropriation
bill and the Sharpe bill get to
the governor it is to be hoped
that he will refuse to approve OF
them in the interest of economy
and in line with his inaugural
message. A little backbone is
Iall that is needed.

Editor Fogerty, Of the Cando
Herald, thinks that if the press
association would pay more at
tention to business and matters
pertaining to the craft than to
social pleasure more benefit
would be derived from the
gatherings and editors would
feel more like attending the ses-
siOns of the association. We
certainly agree with Bro. Foyer
ty in the premises. Nobody en-
joyed the Bismarck trip more
thanthe Courier editor, yet at the
same time we were disappointed
in the results of the association.
There were several matters we
could have discussed as an asso-
citation but the two or three big
toads in the puddle would jump
up and suggest that the executive
committee attend to that. and as
no one cared to be called a kicker
everything went that way-just
like a cut and dried political con-
vention. The next time the boys
meet make it business affair
and don't choke off discussion in
order to don the dress cost for
social parade.

been awarded the contract for
building the extension of the
Cooperstown branch from Nc

The people who read newspa
pers and magazines have. as a
rule. d belief that publishers
have no conscience about loading
up their periodicals with adver-
iisements at the cost of reading
matter. Yet occasionally some
proof comes to the surface tina,
publishers have some scruples
in this respect. The Ladies'
Home Journal, for example, will
accept just so many columns of
advertisement, aud no more.
This proportion. for instance, is
20 columns of advertisements as
against 1872 columns of reading
matter in each issue of 48 pages
When the advertising space is full
all business is declined. The
skeptical may ask, ''But is there
any business left to decline?
There is, decidedly. For nearly
every issue during 1900 there
were from four to twenty-six
more columns of desirable adver-
Using received than could be ac-
cepted, and as each column in
the Journal cost $1,000, the pub
l sher turned away thousands of
dollars, which simply because of
principles, they would no accept.
Lo the interests of the public are
sometimes regarded where they
are not popularity supposed to be.

The Magic OF Selt-Confidence.

A mau'S success in life is usually in
| proportion to his confidence in him If
and the energy and persistence with
which he pursues his aim. In this
competing age there is little hope for
the man who does not thoroughly be-
lieve in himself The man who can be
easily discouraged or turned aside
from his purpose, the man who has no
iron in his blood will never win.
half the giants strength i in the
conviction that he j. giant. The
strength of a muscle is enhanced
hundredfold by the will power The
same muscle when removed from the
giants ann, when divorced from the
force of the mighty will, can sustaiu
but fraction of the weight it did a
moment before it was disconnected.
What miracles confidence has
wrought! What impossible deeds it
has helped to perform! 1t took Napo-
leon over the Alps in midwinter; it took
Farragut and Dewey past the caunons,
tOrpedoes aud mines of the enemy: it
led Nelson aud Grant to victory; it has
been the great tonic in the world Of
discovery, invention and art; it has
helped to win the thousand triumphs
in war and science which were deemed
impossible.
The man without confidence and an
iron will is the plaything of chance,
the puppet of his environment, the
slave of circumstances. With these he
is king, ever master of the situation.-
