FUNSTON AS A D.ARrAGNAs.
Colonel watterson and tho Spirit of Dana
In Editorials on tho kansnn.


Colonel Watterson and tho Spirit of Dana
In Editorials on tho kansnn.
Washington special: Henry Waiter
son and the shade Of Dana and the
shades of other famous heroes cluster
today about the fame of Funston. To
have caught Aguinaldo Is much; to
have overcome Corbin is almost more;
but Funston did not dream when he
adventursd everything on his subtle
chase that Watterson would re-enforce
himself with Dumas pere and that the
New York Sun would then write down
Funston as something of D'Artagnan
himself" Thackeray. who read The
Musketeers' three times through
year, would himself have been delighted
with the caption of the editorial in the
Sun today. THE Kansan and the Cas-
con" is the title and the editorial
reads:
There is so much of what was best
in Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Ar-
tagnan combined in the dashing editor
OF the Louisville Courier-Journal that
we hate to find him misrepresenting the
history OF one of their most famous eN-
PLOTS in this fashion:
During the siege of Rochelle the
four friends agree, upon a wager to
take their breakfast and to remain an
hour by the watch in this exposed posi-
ton, no matter as Athos observes,
what the enemy may do to dislodge
gamble. They win the bet, though, in
order to win it, they. supported only
by their Wallets, have, for half an hour,
to hold at bay the whole Huguenot
army. It is a pretty piece Of soldierly
bravado. as we'll as pretty piece of
tour de force writing. And yet, dis
counting its levity it was neither SO
genious in its plan and achievement as
Tunstons expedition and capture of
Aguinaldo. The mousquitaires
| were buoyed up not merely by their
| valor, which nobody disputed, but by
their vanity, professional and personal,
to say nothing Of the sustaining spirit
| Of the gamester and the exhiliration
| of the play.
Surely Colonel Watterson ought not
| to have forgotten that the memorable
| breakfast in the Bastion st. Gervais
was far from being mere vainglorious
1 bravado or a hairbrained gamble. The
place for the breakfast was chosen be-
cause 1t seemed the only place where
the four could confer in security from
| Richelieu's Ggents and spies, upon a
matter Of life and death to one of
| their number, at least. The bet was
only pretext to make possible this
momentous consultation. The Courier
| Journal draws an implied contrast be-
tween Funston and D'Artagnan, unjust
to the latter, since of all the men who
ever lived in the pages Of fiction he was
least given to risk his anatomy fool
| ishly and carelessly. His prudence and
his perception Of the main chance were
| at once as notable as his personal cour-
age and skill Of fence.
I'VE make these remarks not in dis
paragement of Brigadier General Fun
ston, who appears to be something OF
q D'Artagnan himself. but in simple
Justice to our old friend, the young
been the first to appreciate and APP
plnud Funston's achievement"
