Fewer Holidays Now
In Russian Territory

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Petrograd, May l2.-One important
reform which the revolution has eff
fected has been the abolishment Of
excessive holiday-making in Russia.
Before the revolution, not only were
twelve great church holidays cele-
brated, but also the birthdays of the
emperor, empress and the heir appar-
ent, the anniversary of the accession
to the throne, the coronation, etc. In
stead of these, the lst of May is to
be instituted as a national holiday.

Your liver is fairly begging for

Career of Continual Adventure,
Became Guide in Rockies.

In the summer of 1889, while still a
student at the university, he went to
Colorado, and after exploring some
places in the Rocky mountains that
were difficult of access ne became
guide to earn money to help pay his
expenses.
Two years after this his father, while
member of Congress, obtained his
appointment as a botaniSt to accom-
pany surveying party sent out by
the United States government to ex-
months in that desolate region.
The second daring adventure of Fun
ston was that which followed his ap-
pointment to visit Alaska. On one oc-
casion he took some Indian guides and
travelled 200 miles over the snow and
ice to the rescue of a ship that was
icebound. He went as far up the Yukon
river as any man has gone since. and
he visited the places where gold has
since been found.

Funston's Death Removes
Picturesque Character
From the U. S. Army

The death OF Gen. Funston removes one
of the most picturesque characters from
the United States Army. whose record in
cluded the capture of Aguinaldo, the Fill
pino rebel chief, command of the forces
which seized Vera Cruz and direction of
the Mexican border movements. His adj
where he carried out the President s
orders with firm hand. simply holding
the city when every influence about him
was centered upon forcing the American
army into actual fighting with the Next
cans, probably was the most notable
service of his career.
The American troops had been in pos
session Of Vera Cruz only a few days
when one of the Mexican generals sent
in a message saying in most polite terms
that he was unable to longer restrain
his troops. and that they were about to
advance and drive the Americans into the
sea.
EFF you can't hold your troops back,
cam" was the laconic message Funston
sent back.
Long Wait to Be Major General.
When he won his rank of brigadier as a
reward for his capture Of Aguinaldo his
active service in the regular United States
Army began. He speedily reached the
top of the list of brigadiers, but when
there were vacancies in the list of major
generals he was passed over no less than
six times by Presidents Roosevelt and Taft
At times Funston almost despaired of fur
Their promotion. but with characteristic
tenacity he stuck to the army.
When Vera Cruz was occupied Maj. Gen.
Wood, chief of staff, Immediately selected
Funston as the logical man for the field
command Every army officer expected
there would be fighting of the hard
guerrilla kind learned in the Philippines.
and every one agreed that when Funston
landed in Vera Cruz he would start
something"
But when Funston unloaded his troops
and relieved the navy of possession of the
city he learned that President Wilson's
orders were that there was to be no ag-
gressive movement: that the army was to
watch and wait. The pressure on the
little commander can only be realized by
those who were with him in Vera Cruz in
those crucial hours.
Every provocation to spur a fighting
man to action was given, but Funston
never forgot his orders. whatever his owr
emotions might have been. He held down
the situation, and President Wilson made
him major general.
Career of Continual Adventure.
Maj. Gen. Funston's life was one of
continual adventure
He was born in Carlisle, Ohio, No
vember Q. 1865. When two years ole
his parents moved to Kansas, and he
grew up on a farm. He graduated
from the lola High School and became
a teacher of district school, While
at the Kansas University he learned
the Spanish language from a senorita.

be in love.
