FUNSTON AS A D'ARTAGNAK.
Colonel Watterson and the Spirit Of Dan
In Editorials on the Kansan.

Colonel wAtterson and the Spirit OF Dana
In Editorials on the Kansan.
Washington special: Henry Waiter
son n the shade Of Dana n 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
a~dventured everything on his subtle
chase that Watterson would REINFORCE
himself with Dumas pere and that the
New York Sun would then write down
Funston as something of a D'Artagnan
himself" Thackeray, who read 1.-The
Musketeers'' three times through a
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-Journa that
we hate to find him misrepresenting the
history of n 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
u.s. 1t was a vainglorious, hair-brained
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 a pretty piece OF soldierly
bravado, as well as a pretty piece or
tour de force writing. And yet, dis
counting it's levity, II was neither SO
appalling In its danger nor so in
g~enious in its plan and achievement as
Funston's expedition and capture OF
Aguinaldo. The mousquitaires
were buoyed up not merely by thett
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
bravado or a hair Drained gamble. The
place for the breakfast was chosen be-
cause II seemed the only place where
the -four could confer in security from
Richelieu's agents n spies, upon a
matter OF life and death to n of
their number, at least. The bet was
only q 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 page 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
age and skill of fence.
1--WE 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 Fu%nston's achievement"

Wanted Thirteen-Inch Shells.

Memphis Scimitar: The negro porter
in a certain office building applied to a
young lawyer who had frightened him
on various occasions, and asked him
to write out all the big words he knew
on a piece OF paper.
The lawyer, being puzzled at the re-
quest, asked the negro what he wanted
with the words.
well, you see, boss replied the
darkey, II is going to have a debate

WHY MORGAN GOT PORTRAIT.
tinancier's Father Was Negotiating for IL
When Stolen.

London, April 22.-The story Is told
by persons who claim 10 know whereof
they speak, regarding the purchase by
j. Pierpont Morgan OF the famous
Gainsborough pictrue.
Mr.. Morgan's father, IT appears, was
actually engaged in negotiations for
the purchase of the picture when 1t
was stolen. Mr.. Morgan, remembering
his fathers desire to secure the picture,
telegraphed to Sir Thomas Agnew the
moment he learned that it had been re-
covered, making al offer for the paint
ing. 1t was understood that the pic
ture could be had for $4,000, but it Is
generally believed that one-eighth mill
lion dollars was the price paid for it.
A friend, In discussing this point with
Mr.. Morgan, asked: How much did
you pay for it, Morgan?"
Mr.. Morgan, who evidently did not
wish to go into details, replied: NO
body will ever learn that" Thomas
Agnew e. Son admit that the portrait
has been sold, but they refuse to d.
vulge the name of the purchaser.

A woman is sick-some disease peculiar to her sex is fast
developing in her system. She goes to her family physician
and tells him a story, but not the whole story.
She holds back something, loses her head, becomes api-
tated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and this completely mystiHes
the doctor.
Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the
disease? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very am
barrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering,
even to her family physician. This is the reason why
hundreds Of thousands of women are now in cOrre-
spOndence with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To
her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready
to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her
correspondence with the patient than the physician can
Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the
result Of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such
letters are considered absolutely confidential by
Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published in any way or
manner without the consent in writing of the patient but
hundreds Of women are 80 grateful for the health which Mrs.
Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them
that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but
write asking that this be done in order that other women
who suffer may be benefited by their experience.
Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis, writes:
"DrAR MRS. PrSKnAM:-For two years I was troubled with falling
