story of his first meeting with Cen

ct remember Funston well. One
morning when I was consul general
in Havana a hungry, hunted look
ing chap appeared in my Office. He
said his name was Funston and that
he had been fighting with the insur-
gents for a year and a half and that
he was sick and wounded. He had a
Mauser bullet through his lungs, his
hip was broken and his constitution
shattered by fever.

admired his grit. I knew that if
the spaniards learned who he was

------~'----- FOREST RESERVATION.
The President is Strongly in Favor of
 the Plan.

Washington, December 19.-President Roosevelt today sent to Congress let ter strongly commenting the plan for a national forest reservation in the South ern Apalachian region. The letter accom- panied the report of the Secretary of Agriculture on this subject. The Presi- dent states that the facts as ascer- tained set forth an economic need of prime importance to the South and hence to the nation as a whole. and they point to the necessity of protecting through wise action a mountain region whose in fluence flows far beyond its borders with the waters of the rivers to which it gives rise. After referring to the marvellous variety and the richness of plant growth in this region, the President says it Is unsurpassed for purposes of a hardwood reserve and he earnestly comments the project to Congress.

At least one million tons of coal will be barged to New Orleans alone as soon as the canal is opened, and the possibilities of a West Indian trade should be explained. MT. Underwood will aid delegation in every possible way, and if his request for an appro- priation is large enough to start eight locks and dams be refused it will not be his fault. and this district should take steps to transfer the blame from its own shoulders.

DENTISTS DOG
Wears Set of False Teeth Worth
 $250.

New York Cor. Chicago Tribune.
 Rex Is the name of a dog, and he is a full-blooded Gordon setter. His owner is a dentist up town who does not think it unusual that his dog should have teeth with gold filings and six gold teeth in his lower jaw with a diamond embeddeS in them. pr. T. s. Van Nostrand, of 101 West Eighty-eighth street. is the owner. He decided that the dogs teeth must be filled if they were to be saved, so he resolved to do the work.
 The dentist told the dog to get into the chair and Rex obeyed. Then Van Nos- trand tied a towel in his mouth to keep 1t open and set to work The dog did not object seriously to the operation. Four gold teeth were made to fit his mouth and these were attached to two crowns which fitted over two other teeth and thus held In place.
 The gold teeth gradually wore down, and lately Dr. Van Nost-and decided that a new set was necessary. It was made, and in the center was placed a pure white diamond of half a caret. The teeth were placed in position today, and now Rex is the proudest dog in New York.
 The value of Rex's dental adornment IS at least S250.

Reelection of pr. UIIman.

The reelection, or rather restora- tion, of Dr. Samuel Ullman to the Board of Education is an act of much promise to the city, for it means that there is force, magnetic and uplift- ing, in the board that will be content with nothing less than the highest possible standard in the public schools "a force, too, that is as sympathetic as 1t is magnetic, having great regard for the poor and friendless. There are other good men on the board, but there is not one who has given more thought to public instruction or is more in touch with it than Dr. Ull- man.
 He may be a dreamer, a theorist, but one such man is needed on the board in order to hold 1t up to ideals and to lead it away from patronage and politics. The Board of Education should be non-partisan. It should re- member that it is conducting citizen factories-mills that grind out men and women-and the better the mill the better the future citizen of the city will be.
 Dr. Ullman takes a high and philo- sophical view of public education. All his views on that question keep keenly before him the man or woman who is nearing the active duties of life. The machinery is a means to an end, and he cares more for the end than he does for the petty and often obtrusive machinery that achieves it. The Al dermanic action is very commendable at any rate. Both MT. Lane and Dr. Ullman will be excellent members of the Board of Education, each being an honest and intelligent man, and the selections will be warmly endorsed by all good citizens.

The Grand Opera.

''The Maurice Grau Opera Company will open the season at the Metropolitan Op- era House in New York next Monday night with Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, and judging by the cast advertised, it will be a notable performance" said a man who keeps himself informed about music matters.
 'Grau closed his tour in Cincinnati this week. There was great disappointment on the part of Cincinnati music lovers over the non-appearance of Sembrich. The distinguished prima donna was pros trated on the receipt of a cablegram an nouncing the death of her son, and on account of her grief cancelled her Cincin- natl engagement.
 ''It is understood that Grau made a good profit on his tour through the south and west, but he sticks 70 his statement made in San Francisco that he will never again undertake an extensive tour.
 Cincinnati has the reputation of being musical city, but out of five perform ances in Music Hall there was only one full house. and that was at the matinee Wednesday. The bill was Wagner's Meis- tensinger with Gadski, Schumann-Heinl1 Bispham, Dippel and Muhlman in the cast"

RI0cton's Dispensary,

Blocton, a coalmining town in Bibb County, conducts dispensary in part | nership with the county, and the county and town are conducting a prosperous and thriving dispensary business. The sales of the public firm in November foot up $4.747, and the net profits $1.4OO. The gross profits are not given, but the figures lead one to think that the town and county are charging their thirsty fellow-citizens very good prices on all the goods they handle. And as to dividends upon a capital of $S,0OO they outrun even those of the Standard Oil. The divi- dend for November was close to 50 per cent, holding out prospects that even Dutchman's 1 per cent dividend a month may yet be earned.
 The city of Blocton takes one-half of the net profits, and it is today per haps the only taxless city in the world. All expenses of the city are paid from dispensary dividends, leaving hand some sums on hand which the city is compelled to waste improving streets and alleys, in building sewers, and even in establishing a water supply. Not dollar is to be borrowed for any of these purposes, the dispensay be- ing equal to all demands upon it.
 As to the good county of Bibb, it devotes its half of dispensary profits to the betterment of the public schools and the public roads, and it, too, may reach the point where it can pay all its expenses from dispensary divi- dends, for Blocton is a thriving and increasing community. The case is remarkable one, and some of it's sue cess is perhaps due to the fact that Bibb is dry county. the only wet spot in it being the dispensary at Blocton. Just how far, if at all, this plan promotes temperance and sobri- ety, we are not told. Only the money results are told over the wires.

ExtendInn City Limits.


 Richmond did not come out as well in the last census as its citizens had ex- pected, but it is determined to make a good showing in 19iO," said Virginian at the. Hillman yesterday.
 "A bill is now being prepared for the Legislature in session for annexing tho immediate suburbs of Richmond. These suburbs have a population of about ten thousand. Richmond's population in 1900 was s5,OOO With 10000 added now the city's population in 1910 will easily ex- ceed 100000. It will do this with next to no growth. The probability is that the next census will find Richmond with not less than 11b.000. provided the annexation bill passes.
 Frequent efforts have been made to an mex Manchester to Richmond. Manches- ter is across the James river. It has a population of 10000 The annexation scheme was always defeated by ma jority in the joint committee of the two City Councils. There Is no movement now to bring Manchester into Richmond, but there seems to be little doubt as to the success of the suburban scheme of annexation.

II OKly DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Departure of Cold Wave,

The cold wave that compelled the temperature to hover near the zero point has collapsed or fed No one cares what its exact fate was so long as it has gone away. It gave us at least three successive December phe- nomenal for frigidity. We have had colder January or February days, but never colder December days.
 It brought good to no one except plumbers and coal men, and neither was lacking in orders. The plumber is the sole judge of his own bills, and the coal man of his own weights, and neither needs any help at the hands of the weather clerk. This section of the country cannot afford to give tine plumbers and coal men such benefits, and indeed they do not need one. for all the year is their harvest time, anyway.
 King Zero leaves behind as he de- parts network of wrecked pipes, no. to mention the croupy children whom he cruelty afflicted, nor the bad Ian guage that he called forth from wide range of persons during the cold snap. The overthrow of the frosty king is good cause of public rejoicing. Life will soon be worth living, and the Sunny South will soon resume busi- ness at the old stand. The usurper from the heart of the Rockies has been expelled, but, alas, he may re- turn, but let us hope if he returns his if at all, in modified form and that his stay will be brief. He is not and never will be welcome in this latitude.

Prosperity Will Continue.

"Pessimists predict dull times in 1903. and their prediction may be fulfilled, but prosperity is assured for 1902, no matter what is in store for the year after that, !" said prominent banker yesterday
 My prediction is that we will not fall upon hard times before 1904, if indeed prosperity leaves us that soon. We have already had three years of active, healthy business, and 1902 and 1903 will make five. This will be a larger season of prosperity than we formerly had. but conditions in the industrial and commercial life of the United States have been improving rap idly of late, and periods of idleness and suffering should be few and far between" :"

JUDGE TAFT FOR WAR OFFICE.

Wash Cor. Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune
 The understanding Is that when Secre- tary Hay retires from the premiership of the cabinet which is expected to occur some time next spring or summer. Secre- tary Root will be promoted to the vacant place. It is well known that MT Roots ambition along this line and that there is an implied understanding with the President that he Is to be so favored. It is expected that the vacancy in the War Department will be filled by Judge Taft, who will never return to the Philippines after his arrival in this country. His health has been bad there, and he is re- ported to have had enough of the islands. His experience there would make him wwell qualified to be Secretary of War.
 The selection of Judge Taft would mean the promotion of a man who was strong friend of Mckinley and Hanna.
