Funston Relates Incident in News
paper Career witch Does Not
Allure Him.

CHICAGO, March 12.-General Fred
Funston was a busy man today. The en-
tertainers had him rounded up at 9:30 in the
morning and 1t was midnight before he
gained his hotel. A decidedly interest-
ing feature was General Funstons recep-
tlon at the Press club. After the hand
shaking was over a small platform was
rolled into place before TIE general, whose
short figure did not reach above the shoul-
ders OF several men around him. Homer
]. Carr, president Of the club, introducing
General Funston, saidi
General Funston, on behalf Of the Press
club Of Chicago, we welcome you to our
rooms and to our hearts. We welcome
you not only as a soldier. but as a newspaper
man, and you will always be one of u.s."
In response General Funston said;
used to be- I'm a weak way, a newspaper
man myself, and my experience was usu-

first job l had was as reporter on the
there the city editor, Mr.. Graham-a rather
savage, saturnine-looktng man-ran me
over with his eye and said: II will try
you, and he gave me an assignment. He
said: There Is general feeling here that

overcrowed or not" I went out full OF
the enthusiasm that inspires every young
reporter and came back with four OF FIVE
columns of stun about a matter that
wasn't worth two sticks. When l handed
in the copy he ran it over page by, page
and then he said. you'll learn better,
sonny, as you grow older. 1 don't think
we need you" just at present I believe 1
would rather be TN editor of a big paper
in the United States or an editorial writer
than to command brigade in the United
States army, because there is a splendid
chance just now to have good deal of
fun that way in stirring up some people
who need it. But 1 hardly suppose 1 could
hold down a job as an editorial writer,
while am sure of the place 1 have; so
Will stick to that, and l hope some of
the rest of you will do the other part of 1t.
President Bush Of the Marquette club
and a committee called on the general
in the morning and escorted him to the
Board Of Trade. His coming was eagerly
awaited by the traders and they gave him
an enthusiastic greeting. From the Board
Of Trade General Funston was driven to
the stockyards, where he spent three hours
watching the various packing processes.
He was entertained at luncheon by the
packers and then returned to the city.
