the only reference General Fun
ston made being to relate little
thing that occurred at Marathon,
Tex. When the train stopped at that
station recently the general got out
to take a breath of fresh air, and
was accosted by citizen who said:
81 understand that that Fighting
Funston is on this train," to which
the general replied "Yes, we have
him in the next car. but we scarcely
ever allow him to go outside" The
citizen replied: IL would mighty
like to see the little general, as |
liked the way he handed it to thcm
Baptists."
General Funston delights to tell a
joke or to hear one. a
