FUNSTON AS A D,ARTAaNAN.

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
FuHston as something of a D'Artagnan
himself" Thackeray. who read 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 Cas-
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 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 it, 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 we'll as pretty piece Of
tour de force writing And yet dis
counting it's levity it was neither so
appalling in its danger nor so in
genious in its plan ana achievement as
Funston's expedition and capture Of
| Aguinaldo. The mousquitaires
were buoyed up not merelw by their
! valor, which nobody disput d. 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-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 q
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'Artagnan, 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 were
at once as notable as his personal cour-
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 APP
plaud Funston's achievement"

Interesting Facts in the Memoirs of JAG

New York Sun: The French govern.
ment has published the first volume of
the memoirs Of Jacques de Morgan, which
deal with his explorations for the site
of the city of Susa. NJ de Morgan ran
series Of tunnels into mound at various
levels and found traces of five distinct
settlements. One of these he found to be
the site of the Graceo- Parthian city which
existed between 300 and 200 3. c.. Be.

between 500 and 300 B. G., and beneath

by the Assyrian, Asurbanipal (Sardan-
apalus). In the debris he found q cyiln-
ing that the city had been occupied dur

that Daniel had visited it, for tradition
says that he was buried there.
The memoirs go on to say that the dls.

not sufficient for payment of interest

value on the first of last April. In

The Two Best in One.

People who formerly considered the

daily or who believed the Chicago
Times Herald to be premier among
American newspapers now have an op-
portunity of judging Every day how re-
markably complete and excellent in
every department is that great metro.
politan daily. the Chicago Record
Herald which combines ''the two best
in one.' All the popular features Of
both the Chicago Record and the Chi
cago Times-Herald are included in the
Chicago Record Herald. In the Sum
day issues especially the great advan-
tages of the combination OF all the re-
sources and worldwide facilities of the
two papers united in the combination
are made manifest. The worlds news
is covered with unexampled fullness
due to the fact that never before in
the history of journalism did an
American newspaper possess news ia
clities SO varied and extensive.

Wee ky Crop Bulletin.

Inc mean temperature has averag-
ed very close to normal in the SOUTH
central counties and on the western
slope, and about degrees above nor
nal along the eastern border and in
the north-central section. Light
showers have fallen in the northwest
ern and north-central counties, while
beneficial rains have been general in
other sections.
Showers have retarded the harvest
OF wheat, rye and barley. The work
is practically finished, however, at low
attitudes, and well advanced in the
western and south-central counties
and San Louis Park. On the divide
and in the more elevated districts hay
ing is nearing completion and early
sown grains are ready to cut. Flowing
has begun in the sections where win
ter grains are sown. Threshing is in
progress and, though the yield of
many fields is average or better, the
grain crops as a whole will be light.
Early corn is maturing nicely and re-
cent rains have been of great benefit
to late paintings. The potato crop
will be average or above, the outlook
being especially favorable in the
Greeley district Large shipments of
tree and vine fruits continue. Sugar
beets are generally laid hv and . oood
crop is assured. Winter apples are
coloring on the western slope and the
prospect is favorable to heavy yield.
The water supply is adequate except
in the Oldest bitches. Ranges show
improvement since the rains of last
week and afford feed in nearly all sec
tions, but stock is being fed or pastur-
ed on grain fields in localities.
