JUST A LUCKY DOG.
What Gen. Frederick Funston Said OF
Himself

A dispatch from Prescott, Arizona.
says:
1t has developed that General F>uns-
ton made a speech while a visitor to
Prescott few days ago. The occasion
was a banquet in his honor spread by
Capt. r. Palmer, u. S. A., at Whippie
barracks. The toast Of the evening to
the honored guest was extended by DR..
F. L. Schoenie, a nephew of the late
Gen A. V. Kautz- In his reference to
the deeds of the doughty Kansan the
doctor drew it strong thus conclud-
ing: Here's to the incarnation of
American courage and unsurpassed dar-
ing; here's to the embodiment of Anglo
Saxon grit, Of American enterprise and
American success; here's to General
Funston, who has bound the shores of
Asia to the An erican continent as they
have never been linked before; here's
to General Funston, I'll not say of Kan
sas nor merely of the United States,
but the greater United States. our
country and its colonies"
To all of which the guest responded:
Il don't feel like a hero: don't look
like a hero. I am simply a lucky dog"
