The St Louis Post-Dispatch review
General Frederick Funston's "Memorie
of Two Wars in this way:
FUNSTON!
The subject Of this moving rhyme
Has seen some fighting in his time,
And in the coming days of peace,
When marshals, sheriffs and police
Perform the functions hitherto
Requiring armies gray and blue,
And all those agencies OF death
With which we take each other $ BREATH
The world, with reading of Matanzas,
VIII marvel at this man from Kansas.
"Great Caesarr' people will exclaim,
WAS ever any one so game
As this red-headed little chap
When he had on his fighting cap?
or Butcher Weyler in his lair,
OR Aguinaldo with his hair
Outstanding in his awful wrath,
or the Bagbag River in his path
Or Death-or Hell-Or sink or swim
They always looked alike to him.
How well does he remember now
The night he landed from a scow
on bleeding Cuba, there to stand
With Gomez and his little band.
The night was desolate and chill.
And nothing but the whippoorwII
Was there TO welcome him and bid
The Cuban hail the fighting kid.
Who had resolved upon the step
To give the cause little pep
Alas for hope of career,
That night, for once, he tasted fear,
And on that dark ana OlSlHdi lldI
Observed his knees go rat-a-tat-
The tardy morning brought him fr1enos'
And otherwise made some amends
BUT never after that though blood
Became as commonplace as mud,
And bullets trimmed his Titan beard,
Did Funston ever feel Altered.
That one dread night and its desolatlon
Was the end and the initiation
He fought the Spaniard long before
The country heard of Theodore,
~. r.F hn
Had won the sentimental smack
He was a gunner of the line,
And the young man from the Appenlne
knew very we'll which way to go,
When he beheld the fiery glow
OF Funston's whiskers coming round or
Heard the crack of his old 12-pounder.
His later Philippine career
A., was that made him Brigadter,
But those were the days he loved the best
And lived with the more tremendous zest-
There may be some disposed to scott,
But to shoot a big church steeple off,
Or bust block house like a stein
At half a mile, very fine
Old-fashioned sport, as one in doubt
Discovers, now the book is out.
The scenes of Gertrude Atherton's
new novel. Julia Atherton and Her
Times" which was published April
II, are laid in Nevis, B. W. l. and
in England with glimpses of India
and San Francisco. The hero of the
story is an American, a San Francis
can of the most modern type, with
nothing of the cowboy or usual west
erner about him. The heroine is a
study of all that civilization has done
for woman up to date; for the mat
ter or that she belongs to the small
advance guard Of whom there will be
many as time goes on. All forces are
made to play on her in the interest
OF development and the political his
tory OF the past sixteen years is used

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance Of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon 1t, and she Is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is SO truly a
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. 1t relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ngaments, makes plant and elas-
tic those fibres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the infiam-
nation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mothers
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers
Friend assures speedy and complete
recovery for the mother, and she Is
left a healthy woman to enjoy the
rearing of her

THE WORLD ARENA

Things continue to move. The latest
sign of progress in quarters not usually
looked upon as progressive where tenn
perance is concerned, is the regulation
relating to instruction in temperance
which the Hungarian minister of edu-
cation has recently issued to school au-
thorities in that country. The author
tiles are notified that it is important
to commence ant-alcohol instruction as
early as possible, and that all schools,
state, communal church, and private,
must set apart one day year for in
struction on the harm caused by alco-
ho1. A special lecture has been prepared
and is to be read in all schools on the
day appointed. The day is to be made
more or less of festival, so as to
arouse the interest and imagination of
the children. One day year does not
seem an excessive amount of time to

quarts OF whisky shipped to resident
Of Georgia The man admitted he re-
ceived the whisky by mail and thought
it was a present When he found the
liquor company wanted money he re-
fused to pay and the company asked him
to return the shipment. The man re-
fused to return it or to pay for it and
the whisky firm tried to collect. In its
opinion the court said, "One cannot re-
cover for the price of Intoxicating
liquors sold in violation of the law. An
act done in disobedience of the law
creates no right of action at court"
Recently a lively wet" and "dry"
campaign was conducted at Long Beach,
California. The place has been without
saloons for some time. A minister of
the town advertised that he would
preach sermon advocating the licensing
of saloons. The Business Mems Asso-
citation Immediately came to the front
with an announcement that the business
men do not want saloons in Long Beach
and that the association does not want
to be misunderstood nor misjudged be-
cause of the announcement of the min
ister The business men declare that
they oppose saloons and gambling and
draw strict line against liquor and it's
attendant vices.
The legislature of the prohibition
state of Mississippi has recently passed,
and the governor has signed, law
which the old liquor gang greatly fears
and which the liquor press predicted
would never be enacted. This law gives
boards of supervisors in counties and
boards of aldermen in municipalities
authority to appropriate not to exceed
third of the amounts received from
fines collected from liquor law violators
to catch other "wet" violators

Of other anti-alcohol regulations issued
by Hungarian ministers does not en-
courage undue optimism concerning the
practical results of this; but the ordi
nance is, on the whole, welcome sign
of quickened public opinion and we
wish it WE'LL
1t seems that the average nhabitant
of Great Britain spends $I7.64 annually
upon Intoxicating liquor, $I.57 on the
education of his children, and IS cents
on Christian missions. The average
Canadian lays out $633 on intoxicating
drink, SLY ON education, and II Ia
cents upon missions. This comparison
may be said to be "odorous," but not to
us. 1t would be interesting to know how
much of the SLY goes for school read
erS.
A local option vote was taken in the
village of Sherrington, Que, the popula-
ton about four hundred and when the
votes were counted there was not one
anti-that is there was not single bal
lot marked against the adoption of pro-
hibiton.
Denmark, like most countries, has a
liquor problem and in Copenhagen the
police authorities have taken new step
toward regulating one phase Of it. The
plan is this In order to compel the
proprietors of cafes to exercise care
and also to discourage intoxication the
Copenhagen police are trying the plan
of carrying any person found intoxi-
Gated in the street to his home in a cab,
the fare being charged to the establish
ment where the liquor was served.
Mr.. Adolf Hansen, one of the Inter
national Prohibition Confederation's
vice presidents, has been elected secre-
tary to the "Danmarks notwithstanding,
which is the largest Danish temperance
society, numbering $4,000 members in
about 1000 branches. Offices are to be
opened in April at Aalborg in Jutland
Denmark is steadily nearing its long
desired goal of national prohibition on
which His Majesty King Frederick
VIII. has expressed the great pleasure
which he will have in attaching his sig
nature to a national prohibitory law
1t is therefore expected that Mr. Han
sen will be able to materially assist the
cause of prohibition by means of this
powerful organization, Of which he now
becomes the active head.
Oscar Hicks, an engineer on the Cana
dian Pacific railway, was charged in the
Toronto police court the other day with
