What the Reporter Would Have.

Major Pond in his book, "Eccentricities
of Genius" relates this anecdote of Max
O'Rell, who once wrote, major Pond
was the only man l met in America who
was not colonel"
"One night O'Rell had been in bed for
perhaps an hour in the Grand Pacific
hotel in Chicago when there came very
decided rappins at his chamber door.
who's there!' called Max.
"A reporter came the answer.
"'Well, l can't see you now. I'm in
bed
"The Frenchman heard his door pushed
open, and the chair which he had placed
against it tumbled over. Some one adj
vanced into the room, struck match
and proceeded to light the gas.
"'Well. well! What1l you have. sir?
What'll you have? cried Max O'Rell in
dignantly.

journalistic career on the following day.
He went on botanical expedition to
Death Valley In the following year, and
later to Chilkoot pass, In blizzard. At
the head OF the Yukon be built canoe in
which he went down to the Klondike
country, where Dawson City Is now sit
uated.
Gen. Funston two years later made ar
rangements with the Cuban junta to en-
list as lieutenant-colonel In the army Of
liberation. He Joined filibustering expe.
dition, and landed at Camaguey in August
Of 1896. He reached Gomez's army, where
he found Lieut.. Jones, son OF Col. Jones,
OF Richmond Hill, l.. L., now an inspector
OF police in Havana.
Funston became second in command in
charge of artillery to w. @. Osgood, and
had much hard fighting. Osgood was
killed by a Spanish bullet, and Funston
assumed command. At Bayamo he led a
cavalry charge with 500 mounted Cubans,
attacking $500 Spanish infantry. AT Las
Tunas, Funston was shot and had his
horse killed. Although badly wounded,
he crept to headquarters and protested
against the execution OF fifty Cuban
guerillas who were captured fighting
under the Spanish flag.
Funston returned in 1898. When war
with Spain was declared, he at once offered
his services, was commissioned colonel OF
the Goth Kansas, and was afterwsrd offered
a position on Gen. Miles staff because OF
his knowledge OF Cuba. His work during
the Spanish war, and later his conspicuous
gallantry in the Philippines, which re-
suited In his reaching his present rank,

Gen. Funston, who has just distin-
guished himself by capturing AguinaIdo,
is noted for his pithy sayings. Here are a
few which are credited to him:

LIKE A LOTTERY.
Surprises for Purchasers of Unclaimed
Express Packages.

Surprises for Purchasers of Unclaimed
Express Packages.
The sale of unclaimed packages at the
offices of the American Express company
In Bangor last week furnished as much
fun and as many surprises as lottery at
church fair.
Nobody, not even the officials OF the
company, knew what the packages con-
tanned, SO that bidding was a gam BILE from
start to finish. How lively the bidding
was depended largely upon the appear
ance of the package, and many forlorn
face resulted from the purchase of
likely Choking package which was found
to contain bottles OF patent medicine.
A few men were lucky and bought
things which were of value for very
small sum. One man bought for 60 cents
package which was not over progresses
ing in appearance, but which was found
to contain SIS or go worth Of goods.
There was $40 gold piece, half dozen
silver spoons and forks, half dozen
sheets, and several other articles A letter
accompanied the package which would
seem to indicate that it had been sent to
some young woman who was about to be
married, as 1t told who was the donor of
each article, and expressed hope that
the package would arrive before the mar
rage took place.
Another man bought for 40 cents a small
package in which was found purse
containing a fine gold ring. AN
other gave 81 for a package containing
thirty pounds of spruce gum, and in the
afternoon gave So for custom made suit
of clothes which had never been worn
and is probably worth s25 or $50.
This is the bright side OF the sale.
Many paid high prices for articles OF no
value. One man paid 65 cents for pack
age containing pigs tail, which had
evidently been sent as joke to somebody.
Another man bought box containing
ham which long since had passed its
edible stages. Some obtained books OF
value, and others obtained books advertise
ing patent medicines. One man was mad
when he opened his package, for although
the box was a neat one, it contained moth
ing but excelsior.
One man bought womar's wig, and
since he was himself bald headed, the
crowd chad the laugh" on him. He tried
vainly to hide the article, but it had been
seen, and the crowd made him produce it,
which he did with rather bad grace.

THE "CRlCK."

Give me taste Of the crick today,
Up where it is dark and still,
Up where the bass and piekerel stay,
Where the sun peeps through in stealthy way,
Where the sunbeams dance when the branche
sway
Close under the towering hill.
Give me boat with an idle oar
And fish pole light and strong,
With q friendly thrush on the nearby shore
And a lucent sky where the fshhawks soar,
And would ask for nothing more,
Oh. not for the whole day long!
Nv heart goes out to the crick today;
Il Is cool and clear and calm.
The throb of the town lies far away.
The mink and the muskrats doze and play.
While the waters sweep in friendly way
The shores of my old home farm.
Give me a taste of the crick miss,
A song OF the spinning reel,
Where stream meets stream with loving kiss,
Where song birds tell US of bird life bliss;
Oh, heart grown cold TO a scene like this
Is a heart Of the hal dest STEEL

A Horseman Lost.

As illustrating the guilelessness OF the

telling of weIi-known Bangor horseman
is not bad. He is intensely interested in
trotting, and better string of horses
than Is in his stable would be hard to find
in this section of the State. Among them
is bay gelding which is badly bothered
by drooling.
The Bangor man noticed in horse
journal the other day an advertisement
which stated that for the sum OF g a

lively cure drooling horse. The Ban
gorean knew less then than he does now,

BRAVE BOER CAPTURED
HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY
BRITISH
Reports From Boer Headauarters
Say the Burghers Are Pre-
pairing to Make the Best
Terms Possible.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE capture by the
British forces of Commandant Kritzin-
ger. who has been styled The Dewet
of Cape Colony" is regarded as very i'm
portant. He has been a troublesome and
energetic invader of Cape Colony, and Is
credited with more barbarities than any
other commandant except Scheipers. In
recent proclamation he called himself
the chief commandant of Cape Colony.
Commandant FSritzinger has been de-
scribed as leader of exceptional abil-
ity, not second even to Christian Dewet,
He has been repeatedly referred to in
dispatches from South Africa as being
hotly pursued, cornered or crushed up
against the Orange river in flood. But
he always succeeded in escaping through
some gap in the uncertain British line.
At one time he has been reported as
having 10000 men with him, and a day
or two later, when the British had con-
centrated his force had been broken
into small bands and had disappeared
along the mountains, where pursuit was
useless Once no fewer than seven Brit
ish columns were in hot pursuit of him
and drove him towards the Orange riv-
err which was then unfordable, but when
the British thought they had him caught
they. discovered that he was fifty miles
in their rear, threatening the railroad,
after having divided his command into
two sections.
An officer of the British intelligence
department, who fell into Kritzinger's
hands, described the Boer leader as q
ffne-looking man about feet 10 inches
in height, broadly built, and speaking
English perfectly. At the period, the
officer said, Kritzinger was attired in
lavender colored trousers, with tanned
CATERS, well cut coat, starched white
linen shirt and brand new tally-ho
hat, with puggaree. Kritzinger wore
gloves and carried a hunting crop. His
men were well dressed, and all their
horses were in splendid condition.
During the last few days most persist
ent reports emanating both from South
Africa and from Boer headquarters in
Europe, of an approaching crisis in
South African affairs have been current.
1t .s alleged that Mr.. Kruger will aban-
don his demand for independence, and
that the Boer leaders in the field are
inclined to cease fighting and seek the
best terms obtainable.
In O. speech yesterday at Cape Town
Sir J. Gordon Sprigg, the premier Of
Cape Colony, declared that the outlook
had never been brighter than at the pres
ent time.
