The heating problem at Camp Fun ston. national army cantonment, is al most at an end. With the installation of central heating plants proceeding rapidly. it is expected that there will be little difficulty in keeping the bar racks warm this winter.
 There are Is of these central heat ing plants, each with four large stacks. From these radiate ou. within a cer- tain surrounding district overhead steam pipes. These are connected with radiators in the barracks and other buildings.
 The overhead steam pipes are about six inches in diameter and are wrap ped with asbestos covering to retain the heat. Around the asbestos is wrapped waterproof material which further conserves the energy of the steam.

CAMP FUNSTON CANTONNENT IS
 MECCA FOR THOUSANDS PEOPLE
 FROM EVERY PART OF THE WEST
Elementary subjects such as read

Elementary subjects such as read ing, writing, arithmetic and spelling have attracted the most students, but small groups of students all through the camp are studying such topics as telegraphy, wireless telegraphy and salesmanship, while prospective can didates tor artillery commissions are plugging on mathematics all the way up to calculus. Aside from the ele- mentary classes, the French classes are the largest with an estimated to- tai of 900 enlisted officers and men studying to greet heir brothers in arms in their own tongue.
 c. c. Dotzour, former prinicapl of the Lyons (Kan.) high school and prior 10 that connected with the Uni versity of Kansas, is divisional educa- tional secretary, working under the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. Many of the classes are taught by men who were teachers in civil life
 A class for "seamstresses" has been opened by Captain Ingram D. Hook, a former Kansas City lawyer, wh3 pit ies the men in his company because of the difficulties they encounter in simple jobs of sewing and patching. He undertook to show them how to sew on buttons and make patches. and the class made fine progress, but some of the men finally asked for instruc- tion in knitting. Captain Hooks de gree" did not cover that subject, and no knitting class has so far been formed

 Mrs. King was killed near here August 29, last, while visiting rela- tives of Means, who was her husi- ness agent. A local coroner's jury decided that she accidentally shot herself After the body was taker to Chicago for burial suspicious were aroused which caused an au topsy to be performed, and the Chi cago coroner's physician announced that the bullet wound in the bacl of the woman's. head which caused COulu lOl nave ptGn SCll-Iu' flicted.
 Means, Mrs. King and severa friends of Means had gone out for target practice near the field where Mrs. King expected to learn to shoot with a pistol.

farmer" for he was continually study
ing as to how to make the land pro-
duce the greatest crops. He raised
the first alfalfa, and was the first
farmer in America to breed mules.
While he owned slaves he always
declared that slavery was wrong. He
was most careful of his overseers and
never permitted flogging. This will
do no good he declared. 1T will
probably make the man more sullen."
When he found a slave unmanage
able he sent him down the river" to
be sold. A few of his slaves occupied
places of responsibility. one Davy be-
ing for many years manager Of the
Muddy Hole farm. Washington con-
sidered him quite as capable as any
of his white overseers although he de-
clared that Davy would allow lambs
to be stolen. "That Negroes love for
sheep meat is his only fault" said
Washington, but as ii Is only half a
dozen u year we will let him alone"
His favorite slave was Billy Lee,
his personal body guard, whose pic
ture is so often shown with the Wash
ington family. He went through the
battle of Monmouth with his master
and displayed no little courage. He
was ever afterwards Wash,ngton's
companion in pleasure or on business
Washington loved to hunt and Billy
was always at his side. In 1884 the
two were engaged in surveying a piece
of ground when Billy fell and injured
his knee, with the result that he be-
came a cripple. When Washington
started to New York to be inauguratod

as first President of the United States
Billy begged SO hard to be taken along
that Washington finally consented.
The old negro gave out at Philadel-
phia and had to be sent back to Mount
Vernon. Provision for his faithful
servant was made in the will Of the
Father of His Country. and the old
negro died a few years after Wash
ington, surrounded by every comfort.
On the whole, the life Of the slave
at Mount Vernon was a reasonably
happy one. BY his will he freed all
his slaves at the death Of his wife.
One of the servants thus freed lived
to the alleged age Of one hundred and
fourteen years. He moved to Wash
ington, where he became an important
parsonage among the colored popula-
ton.
Temperate In All Things.
Washingtons fine physique and ex-
cellent health were perhaps due to his
temperate habits. All of his family
were addicted to govt but the General
always declared that he never had a
"twinge." He was an athlete Of rare
ability. During q surveying expedi-
ton he visited the Natural Bridge,
and while standing almost directly
under 1t he tossed stone on top-a
distance of nearly five hundred feet.
He also scaled the rocks and carved
his name far above the others. He Is
said to have been the only man of his
time who could throw a stone across
the Potomac River. AS a horseman
