FUNSTON IN CUBA.
fho lllnir He 1'ilt Up in Order to Knter
the Arllllcrr Service.
Ill spite of all his pleas , Funston was
Ul but frozen from the presence of the
Duban Junta. The story that I am now
rolng to tell was that related to mo by
Funston himself during the ten days
that I wil.s Ins guest at San Fernando ,
( rninodiatcly after he had received the
tingle star that raised him from a col-
wiolcy to a brlgudiershlp in the volun
teers. As he told the story on himself ,
ind as it Illustrates the extremely quiet
uidaclty of the "bantam" general from
Kansas , there can he no harm in retell-
big the narrative to-day.
"We don't need recruits , " said the
kcad of the New York Junta , "and we
pui't avail ourselves of your services ,
but we are looking for a competenl--
l highly competent artillery otllcor. If
| rou know of such a man we will feel
deeply grateful If you will send him
lo us. "
Fuuston's eyes became alight as If
by magic. i
"An artillery olllccr ? " he repeated.
"Then I think , gentlemen , that perhaps
[ may suit you. "
"Do , you know anything about the
management of cannonV" questioned
the head of the Junta.
In a twinkling Funston had his
watch In hand.
"Gentlemen , " he answered regretful
ly , "I have an appointment that de
mands the rest of to-day and much of
to-morrow. May I ask anotlier meeting
with you for the day after to-morrow ?
If this suits your convenience , I shall
then be glad to prove my qualifications
AS an artillery ofllcer. "
Receiving the assent of the Cuban
Junta , Fuuston withdrew. On the fol
lowing morning he visited Fort Hamil
ton , I believe It was , where he made
the casual acquaintance of some of the
artillery olllcers there stationed. With
the skill of one somewhat accustomed
lo Journalistic interviewing , he suc
ceeded in gaining from the officers
pome vague Ideas of the theory of bill-
pstlca. Of each Item of information he
made mental note. At the same time
he secured a list of the best works on
lh.e subject of artillery manipulation.
Thus scantily equipped , yet with all
the assurance of the ma1 ! ! who knows
iis Opportunity , and who knows he can
It , Funston presented himself be
fore ) the Junta at the appointed hour.
He jlame in with the breathless air of
onePlresli from a previous and almost
coniUlctlng appointment Obeying the
feqjfjost of the Junta to explain what he
about artillery practice , the
Kansan rattled off all the prattle
about big guns that he had picked up
the day before. So glibly did he talk
of matters of which he did not possess
even an academic smattering that ho
iwas commissioned on the spot as an
artillery ofllcer In the Cuban service.
He was given passage on the-next fili
bustering steamer that loft this coun

"On my way to Cuba , " Gen. Funston
told me at San rornando , in the earlj
nummor of TMifl. [ lorUod myself In my
tateroom , spending all my waking
hours in devouring the works I had
been recommended to road by United
States artillery ofllcers. Hefore reachIng -
Ing the Cuban coast I tossed all but one
or two of the smaller books overboara
and went ashore. In our first serious
engagement against Spanish troops 1
found myself In charge of IAVO small
pieces of field artillery. The fellow
who handled the other gun was a for
mer non-commissioned ofllcer In the
Spanish army. I directed him as best
I could , and sighted the other piece ,

tory , but I felt sure that I had made a
dismal failure. Gen. Gomez came stalkIng - | '
Ing up to me with the Fame stern air' ! '
that always struck terror Into the' '
hearts of ills subordinates. Guilty ,
conscience made me feel certain that , 1
for wasting ammunition , I was to be
ehot dead within an hour. Gen. Gomez
extended his hand , complimenting me
upon my splendid service of the guns !
You see , most of the Cubans had less
knowledge of artillery practice than I
had contrived to glean on my few days'
voyage to Cuba. That sergeant of mine
was a genuinely good fellow. He held
his tongue. " II. I. Hancock , In Leslie's

AS NEAT AS A MAN.
OT all girls can be beautiful , but
every girl can be radiantly and
exquisitely clean. This means ,
llrst , absolute bodily cleanliness , only
possible with a daily batli , frequent
washings of the hair , constant care of
the nails and teeth , and after that ,
clean , carefully brushed and often re
newed clothing. A pitfall of the mo
ment to careless girls Is found in the
little neekbaiills now enjoying wide
vogue. They developed to protect deli
cate ribbons and chiffons from too soon
soiling. It seems- likely that something
will have to be devised to protect these ,
in turn , from too long wearing. Hum-
pled ties , vest fronts , bodices and finery
of any sort are an abomination , and
should not be permitted in these days
of easy renovation or replacement.
Girls may well take a lesson In this
regard from the other sox. "As neat
as a man" Is a frequently heard ex
pression , and woman should blush to
admit that a man's reading of neatness
should be liner than hers. Yet a few
hours Is the accepted masculine wear
of a shirt and collar , and his clothing
is so constantly brushed and sponged
and pressed that nt every street corner
almost there are caterers to this trade ,
says Harper's Bazar. The habits of
neatness should extend to the care of
belongings as well as to their wear.
Articles that are carefully put away In
protecting receptacles after any remov
able dust is brushed or shaken off not
only last much longer , but at all times
make a much fresher appearance.

Chance in Housekeeping Mctlm-ln.
A radical change In housekeeping
methods Is inevitable. 'In that change
will come the sure remedy for the
phase of Industrial discontent that we
as housekeepers confront in kitchens.
The relations between mistress and
maid will yet be wisely adjusted ; there
will be fuller recognition by each of the
rights and duties of each. Reciprocity
will be strictly maintained , and domes-
tic service given Its rightful and hon
ored place among loading industries.
Then housework will attract , and not
as now , repel , capable , Intelligent wom
en , without whose faithful service an
ideal home life may not be preserved.
IIow to secure the services of such a
woman Is a question of more import
ance than any absorbing the women's
clubs at present. How to manage the
typical incompetent housemaid , how to
train her into comparative adequacy
for the place that she will Jill no longer
than it takes to find something else
( almost anything else ) to do , how to
train housekeepers , etc. why not sus
pend the trite discussion for a while
and take up something like this : Is It
not imperative ; that housekeepers unite
In making domestic- service more at
tractive to cnpiHc and Intelligent
women ? Woma'n'h Homo Companion.

A smart bolero accompanies most of
the now skirls , and they are especially
popular In the lovely materials of line

Taffeta silk still retains its hold on
the feminine public. Gowns of It are
just as fashionable now as they were
two years ago. It Is said , by the way ,
that the quality lias vastly improved

almost universal popularity. There Is
no prettier wrap than the little taffeta

gl\eu such proof of a kind heart as to
deserve further mention , his friends
think.
Henry Tlimim . a well-known resi
dent of Flatbush , Is Hyp's imnernnd Is
willing to vouch for the truth of the
following story : Xot long ago the house
cat presented the family with u litter
of six kittens. As It was inconvenient
to have all of that number grow up In
the back kitchen , It was decided to
pick out Hie prettiest one and to drown
all the rest. To reach this decision and
to select the fortunate- kitten a family
council \\a.s hold , at which Gyp was
proont. Though he took no part In the
discussion , he understood enough of
what was going on to foci that some
danger threatened his friend the cat
and the kittens were to be the victims
of some horrible plot.
That same afternoon , taking advan
tage of the cat's temporary absence-
from home , Mr. Thomas , armed with n
pall of water , approached the box to
carry out the Judgment of the council.
To his surprise ho found the kittens
gone.
No one about the house knew where
they wore. Mr. Thomas took the trouble
bleto uinke sure of that. The cat just
then relumed ami stopped half way
Into the box before she noticed some
thing wrong. The .poor cat showed
Mien enough that she at any rate had
had no hand in their disappearance.
Where could the kittens boV Who could I
have taken the trouble to remove them ? I
No stranger had been In the house all |
afternoon , and everyone in the family
denied having anything to do with
them.
It Mas not until two days later that
this mystery was cleared up. Gyp and
the eat , although quite friendly , were
not very chummy , and so when she was
seen going Into Gyp's kennel In the
outhott'-ojin investigation followed , and
the six kittens were discovered com
fortably Installed in Gyp's own quar
ters. Mr. Thomas Is sure they were
carried there by Gyp himself to save
them from some danger his subtle
senses told him threatened his friend's
young ones.
