And the world will hear about you for
another week or two
For a week or two the papers
Will recount your wondrous capers
And your name will be the theme Of
tale and song;
Twill soon be Funston here and
there,
Funston, Funston everywhere
Till some other man who does things
comes along.
Oh, Funston, Funston, Funston, like
the monkeys on the sticks,
You are full of fresh surprises and
amusing little tricks.
AS swimmer or a schemer
You go in without tremor,
And there's always something doing
where you camp;
In the daylight or the dark
You are ready to embark
To go splurging through the jungle or
the damp.
Oh, Funston, Funston, Funston, push
your chest out while you may;
The world Is looking at you and ap
plauding you today;
For you the bells are ringing,
And for you the birds are singing
But tomorrow some one else may come
in view
One who has a song to sing,
Or a dagger for king
And the world will cease to have a
thought Of you.

The finding of a mans finger and a
part of the hand in a freight car that
was on the siding at the steam mill
crossing in Hallowell created quite a
sensation, Wednesday of last week. 1t
appears that the isinglass factory had a
part of car load of fish sounds, which
they use in the manufacture of isinglass,
shipped from Gloucester, Mass. This
car was set off Wednesday, on the sid
ing near the factory, and when Walter
Lynn was unloading the sounds, he dis
covered among the barrels what appears
to be little finger and quite piece of
human hand. 1t was somewhat dried
and it is difficult to estimate the time
that may have elapsed since the acci-
dent, or the crime. The finger was ap-
parently that of delicate hand, one not
used to rough work.

quiet man, evidently from the country,
went into London music shop and
asked to see a certain book of tunes.
The clerk laid before him an oblong

book familiar to old time choir singers.
The old man drew out of his coattail
pocket an ancient yellow fife and. open
ing the book at the first page, began to
play softly. turning the leaf with care
full fingers as each page was finished.
The clerks, very much amused at
first, grew weary Of the droning noise

till tune was ended, ventured to say
politely:

Literary Notes.

The general interest 10 the Booker T..
Washington series OF photographed
articles called "Up From Slavery" now
being published 10 The Outlook, Is con-
stantly on the increase. The instalment
contained In the January Magazine mum.
Der of The Outlook tells some extremely
significant as well as amusing stories of
the difficulties encountered at Tuskegee
In inducing the ambitious colored stu
dents to turn their attention to industrial
subjects.
Scribner's Magazine has many projects
for the year 1901 and several of the most
important have their beginning In the
number for January, which has just been
issued. In fiction, readers will welcome
stories by f. w. Hornung, each of
genious Raffies and his accomplish,
Bunny, appear in all Of the adventures.
The one In this number Is entitled mo
Sinecure," and 1t is illustrated by r. c.
Yuhn, who will make the pictures for
the whole series. Raffies has alread Y
taken his place among those distinguish
ed characters In fiction which ever ybody
knows about.
Woodrow Wilson's graphic The Re-
construction Of the Southern States In
the January Atlantic begins a striking
series Of papers by eminent hands upon
different phases Of this topic. Elizabeth
Bisland discusses suggestively The Time
Spirit Of the Twentieth Century; r. Van
Bergen, from exceptional knowledge,
| treats the life and rise Of The EN-
press Dowager; Charles A. Conant
accounts for the modern Growth of
Public Expenditures; II. d. Sedgwick,
Jr., A Gap 10 Education, touches a
much needed but generally avoided SUBJ
ject; William l.. Seattle sketches the
growth and greatness of Plttsburg; and
Sara M. Handy gives the personal ex-
periences of Southern woman during
The Last Days Of the Confederscy.
The Electors and Coming Election Is
the subject of an article by DR.. Albert
Shaw In the January Review of Reviews.
The fact seems to have been overlooked
by most people that the actual election
of President and Vice. President will take
place on January IA, when the electors
chosen last November will meet In their
respective States and cast their ballots
Ia accordance with the constitutional
provision. Just what this function
amounts to In the machinery of Cur
Presidential elections, and how the pop
ular conception Of the function has de-
parted from the ideal set up by the
founders of our Government Is clearly
set forth In DR.. Shaw's article. AS an
appendix the Review presents the names
OF all the electors chosen In the forty
FIVE States--a list which has probably
appeared In no other publication and
which was obtained from the official
sources.
