Funston is proof that in America, at
least, feudal aristocracy is extinct. For
the average American taxpayer regards
Funston as a faithful servant-who
earns every penny of his wages.
NO MONOPOLY AT WEST POINT.
There are thousands of fine. brave fell

Some have come from West Point Some
like Funston-have come from the
ends of the earth, H eaven knows whence.
There are West Point officers and Vol

are northumberland some are cads;

4 PLEASANT PICNIC.

The last week has been almost as I'M
eventful as the one preceding it though
there were a few quiet little affairs
which relieved it from absolute dizziness.
Most people were so occupied with car
ing for the many visitors in town that
little time was left for anything else in
the way of entertaining. There were
few quiet little luncheons and dinners
and on Tuesday evening Dr. Lowry en-
tertained the Bohemian club very pleas
antly. The evening was spent in play
a game of Slippery Ann with which the
club always ends its evenings. There
were number of guests present which
added to the pleasure of the affair. The
following afternoon Mrs DeWitte Mel
lis and her daughters Celeste and Anna
which was attended by about IS guests.
One of the delightful features of the
afternoon was a musical programme.
Receiving with them was Mrs William
Hinesiy Of Lawrence Tea, punch and
waters were served during the afternoon.
Several interesting affairs are prOmis-
ed for the first part Of next week On
Tuesday afternoon the resident drug
gists' wives will give one of the largest
receptions of the season in compliment
to the visiting women. The affair is to
be given in the Elks parlOrs and elabOr-
ate plans are being made for it. The
druggists ball on Wednesday evening
is being looked forward to with a deal
of interest; it is to be given in the Aud
itorium. The same evening, An Auth
ors' Evening is to be given at the high
school under the auspices of the city
federation This will doubtless be one
of the most interesting literary events
of the season as some Of TCDeka's best
known authors are to take part. and
