can get along with fewer wagons and
carriages His harness bill, wheel
wright and blacksmith expenses are
reduced. \ portion paid to the cleo
tric line gives him transit that saves
practically all of the time he formerly
wasted in primitive barbaric fashion.
Going to the city was formerly an
event with him or his family The
train had to be driven TO, the time
table was generally such that it dis
arranged his habits for the day. His
return was the same way 1t would
probably leave the city at an hour
that caused him to waste time wait
the farm affairs would not work easily.
On the electric line, the half hour or
hour schedule accommodates itself to
his duties or whims with no disarrange-
mpnt. The town Is thus brought near
cr to him. He rubs elbows oftncr
with his city ncighbor He ceases
to look and to be out of place on city
streets. The environment gets TO he
n commoner part of his life. He
| ceases TO think of the city, its life, its
ideals and its convonicnccs ms II thing
apart from him. He transmits more
and more of It's fashions and habits
| into the country home. He finds that
modern improvements are not to be
dcspiscd ana that they are in the end
as economical as perverted mossbacl
thrift
All this tends to redeem the rural
district from stagnatlon and place il
on par with the smart city suburb
What this means for the country
dwclcr and especially the younger clc
mcnt is to put them from twenty tC
forty years ahead of their former
sphere of life, TO place them ON az
equality with their city cousins; TO re
move the dullncss, tcdlum and mar
rowncss of country life; to remove
some of the incentives that have takcl
bright, ambitious young minds ava.
from the country and TO increase TN
demand for modern goods in the rura
districts,
The house will he better built

passing over the intermediary of ill
minating gas. All this means genera
prosperity in which the most activ
creative agency, the electric roat
should and ought to have Its full shan
of reward.

|STHM|AN CANAL. Great Britain and the United States Have Reached
 an Agreement. MAKES THE PROPOSED WATER WAY AN ALL-AMERiCAN
 ENTERPRISE. Objections Which Led to Rejection o@ Former Treaty Have Been
 Overcome.


Washington, Oct. S.-The United States and Great Britain have reacheS an agreement concerning the isth- milan canal question, and the new treaty will be presented to the sFF ate for it's ratification early in the coming session. The substance of the treaty is as follows:
 l. For abrogatiCn of the cid Clay ton-BulWer treaty in toto,
 2 For a neutral isthman canal. Fl case one be constructed by the United States, open in time of peace to tae ships of all nations upon equal terms.
 3. This neutrality is guaranteed py the United States alone, and other maritime powers are not invited to participate in such guarantee, Gteat Britain is inferentially one of the, guarantors, because she is a party to this treaty.
 1. In case of war the United States reserves the right to take such steps for it's own protection as it may deom proper.
 By the terms of the new treaty the United States may, in time of war. deal with the canal as it deems best for it's own interests. 1t may close the canal to the ships of it's enemies. and could, if it were thought advisable (which no one believes it ever will bel, fortify the channel or it's termin
 In the broad sense the isthmian water way is to be "all-American" The United States is to build ani to have complete control of it, un- hampered by oDerous restrictions.
 The government of Great Britain has met this question in liberal spirit It has assumed that it was it's duty to place no unnecessary oh stacles in the way of a work promi5- ing so much of importance and value to the commercial world
 It has proceeded upon the principle that the canal is built for commerce. not for war. and that guarantee ef nondiscfimination is, after all. the most important desiHeratum
 On the point the un2ted States and Great Britain werc able to agree, be cause the United States has never sought the right to fix preferential tolls in favor of American commerce.

JOY AT THE
FUNSTON HOME

lola, Kans., March 2S.-Kansas is
Funston crazed today. Here at his
home flags are flying, a captured Fill
Pine cannon, brought by General Fun
ston from Manila and presented to the
town when the Twentieth Kansas was
mustered out, is booming in the park,
and every one is wild with joy.
The first news of their sons gallant
deed was received by ex-Congressman
Funston and wife through the New
York Journals dispatch, which was
taken to them on their farm SIX miles
from lola by the Journal correspon-
dent. The news made the mother of
General Funston fairly hysrer1ca1 with
JOY The father is delighted ana proud
of his famous son.
Soon congratulations by telegra oh
began pouring in upon the happy pa
rents Prominent men in all parts of
the country sent messages, among
them being some from high army Off
Gals.
The people here are as proud as the
parents of Funston and his men. AS
three of those who are with him hall
from lola, the capture is looked upon
as wholly Kansas adventure and
achievement. Streams of people went
to the Funston farm to unite with Mr..
and Mrs. Funston in expressing their
pleasure. Ex-Congressman Funston,
unlike his son, is big man physically
He stands six feet in his stocking feet.

The last letters | received from
Fred" Mr.. Funston said, told of his
disclosures made by an insurgent rene
gade, and that he was going TO try and
capture Aguinaldo by strategy. a few
days after the receipt of the letter
came the Geographic news of the ven
ture. | thought he would fail and
So wrote him, but l am glad to learn
that he has succeeded"
While Mr.. Funston was talking his
wife came into the room. Her eyes
filled with tears as she listened TO the
story of her sons success. She nad
been bordering on nervous prostratiou
since the first news came that General
Funston was engaged in the desperate
effort to capture Aguinaldo, and the
news that success had crowned his eff
forts left her near collapse.
Il have pleaded with him to stop
those wild expeditions" she said, but
it has done little good When he re-
turned from Cuba he told me he would
never take another trip. In less than
two months after his return he was
on his way to Manila at the head of
the Twentieth Kansas. I would not
feel so bad if / could near the result
of his enterprises without the uncer-
tainties and suspense OF waiting for
the news.
He is following in his fathers foot
steps. soon after our marriage my
husband went off to the war and I was
forced to wait for days for news from
him after l read of battle In which
I knew he was engaged. Now I am
undergoing the same suspense for my
son, but l am not so buoyant as I was
then"
And Fred Is coming out of his
scrapes as well as 1 did" her husband
added. Both laughed at the pleasant
ry
Mrs. Funston says she expected her
son to be killed this time surely. He
has had so many narrow escapes that
she has felt for some time that death
in one of his madcap ventures would
be the end of it all
