e,N ANTONIO Tex, Aug. 2.-General
Funston has sent to the war DePai
r,.nt at washington telegram announo.
,ns HE intention to rid the various national
guard camps Of newspaper Correspondence -,
who send out false accounts OF conditions III
the camps. He referred to such correspond
| ents as pests"
The Generals telegram. which was sent
! ~ the Adjutant General, said:
81 wish to call attention OF the var
nar,n,ent to the carnival or lying UeIi.s .
INDUCED in BY many OF the correspoIlue,,, ,ss 70
who accompanied the state troops "a ~ 80
border I have neither seen or hearu ol
snvthinR that approaches it for sheer ma
uciousness and shamelessness'
~yy-bua there are honorable exceptions.
many OF these correspondents are men 81 VL
no judgment or balance or have SO H't.e
experience OF the world that they seeiii W
have no sense Of balance or proportlo.l'
Ordinary inconvenience OF uepriSa.lol'S, stsnts
that TO a man with real soldierly lnstilets ?
are merely subjects for jokes, are magnlfleu
by them into the most distressing stories
"Thev perslstently neglect TO say any
thing about the excellent ana oreultdOle
things that they see, and If they can see
nothing to find fault with, manufacture
lies out Of the whole cloth
The effect is to distress needlessly t tne
families and friends Of members OF the
state organizations and make people Vi
ntbar nations think we are a degenerated
race Of sssles and mollycoddles incapable
OF being made into soldiers. 1 have en-
dured these pests as long as l propose TO-
and shall hereafter bar Offenders from
camps and prohibit them from accompany
ing troops on the march"

staf correspondent with the troops on the
Mexican border. Mr.. Zesberg is a thor
oughly reliable and experienced newspaper
man His instructions and his aim through
out have been to carry out the policy or
this newspaper. which Is to investigate
thoroughly, to give all sides, not to mis-
represent to be fair and to tell the truth
and only the truth. There never has been
any complaint Of the accuracy or fairness
OF Mr. Zeisberg's dispatches.

furnished the authorities with a corpus

No other stock car ever went so fast

I'VE can do better than that for
you, neighbOr," spoke John at once.
There's a half garnet overhead. If
you can accommodate yourself to a
rickety bed and some draft, you are
welcome to the shelter"
Mrs. Valentine nUdged her hUs-'
band, but he was impervious. He
rose, lit a candle and babe their guest
follow him. The stairs were rickety,
the attic cObwebbed. There stood an
old bedstead. It had only a spring
on it, but John fshed out a worn pill
low and a dusty blanket, shook it out
and placed it on the bed.
1t isn't much TO Oner you He
laughed, but in a dismal sort of way.
1T will be luxury to me" asserted
the tramp strenUOusly, and his hard
face softened and John went down
stairs.
"Oh, John! how could you? broke
out Mrs. Valentine at once. why,
that was all there was for supper and
not another bite in the house"
But I'm not at all hungry" insist
ed her husband. IF l was, that poor
fellows enjoyment of the meal would
make me glad to deny myself"
And putting him IN the old garnet
where grandfather used to sleep
not invaded for years! It's a sort Of
sacriIege."
Nonsense, Nelier returned Mr.. |
Valentine. THE old bed is ready to |
fall down. Don't worry, dear Badly

worse. The old house they had been
left by Grandfather Ellis was mort
gagged to the limit. John had lost his
position in the town. Their credit
was exhausted, the last cent gone.
Unless John found work they were
absolute paupers.
They sat thinking over this for
some time in dead silence They
were startled as the door leading to
the attic was opened. The tramp
faced them.
Il did not stop to think" he said,
humbly, but I'm subject to night
mares. Sometimes l hoIler out like
mad, sometimes l caVort around like
a jumping jack"
= Don't let that worry you, friend"
directed John. Were not sleeping
any too good ourselves, these days"
THAT is truew sighed Nellie sadly.
Mr.. Valentine came up to his wife
and kissed her fOndly. Then they
went over their prospects and plans.
The first was dubious, the latter
vague, but there was the home vii
lage where Nellie had lived to go
back to a new start in life, much as
it hurt the pride of John.
His courageous spirit buOyed Nell
lie up. She smiled through her
tears.
There may be showers of bless
ings in store for us yet" she said
brightly. "Oh, John"
In dismay she shrank back and in
alarm John drew her to one side to
evade a real shower of splinters and
plaster.
Evidently their tramp Visitant had
one Of his nightmares. There was a
vast commotiOn overhead. A body
seemed to bound from the bed with

Until the men and women of Colo

Your letter of July IL has just been
forwarded to me here where l am
