FUNSTON AS A D'ARTAGNAN.

In Editorials on the Kansan.

Colonel Watterson and the Spirit of Dana
In Editorials on the Kansan.
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
adventured 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 1.-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 Gas
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 ex-
ploits 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
us. 1t was a vainglorious, hair Drained
gamble. They win the bet. though, in
order to win 1t, they, supported only
by their Wallets, have, for half an hour,
to hold at bay the whole Huguenot
army. 1t is pretty piece of soldierly
bravado, as well as a pretty piece OF
tour de force writing. And yet, dis
counting it's levity, it was neither so
oy,na in ifS IN.
genious in it's plan ana achievement as
Funston's 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 vatnglorious
bravado or a hair-brained gamble. The
place for the breakfast was chosen be-
cause it seemed the only place where
the four could confer in security from
Richelieu's agents and spies, upon
matter of life and death to one Of
their number, 'at least. The bet was
only a pretext to make possible this
momentous consultation. The Courier
Journal draws an implied contrast be-
tween Funston and D'Artagnsn, 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 We're
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
a D'Artagnan himself, but in simple
justice to our old friend, the young
man from Tarbes, who would have
been the first to appreciate and ap-
plaud Funston's achievement"

DECAY OF DOMESTIClTY.

The San Francisco Bulletin, a news
paper that is often eccentric. but
scarcely ever duh. gives up some OF its
space To a discussion of an alleged
decay OF domesticity. with the result
Of showing that In one social class. OF
stratum, domesticity is very much de-
aged, if it ever existed in that class
or stratum. There is in every wealthy
community a small number of persons
men and women. who decline to take
the duties OF life seriously They are
idle and so get into mischief Thei
only object in life ia selfish endowment
without much regard for solemn obli-
cations and they don't care who suf-
lef provided they themselves have a
good time. Fun" is the desideratum
regardless OF the sorrow it entails on
others. Men and women Of this class
neglect their children for society. "
Tn" home is not valued Domesticity
is voted stupid" and substitute Is
Iouhd Tor it in sort of butterfly.
lway from-h home sort of life thai ends
in disaster.
Another set destroys domcsticlty by
taking themselves too seriously. They
fancy that they have duties more i'm
portant than home duties and spend
the time they ought to give to home
folks in looking after outsiders They
are engaged in magnificent philan
throplc schemes OF various kinds
Some spend the whole day away from
home looking after other peoples
children and neglecting their own.
