Let as hope that there awaits the farmers a "dry Jane," which, it is said, "never begs bread." Large numbers of slu lents from schools in the middle and western part of tbe State pass through Goldsboro daily for their homes in tbe East. Goldsboro ' is the gateway to Eastern North Caro lina and all tbe travel has to come this way. No matter what kind of disagree tbla wentber we are having, they a'l have to alight. from tbe trains and make the best of it they can, just bictuee we have no union passenger depot. Thera was a quartette of trav cling mcQ sitting in front of tbe Hotel Kennon to-day and view iDg the inclement weather with alarm. It is impossible to sell toods ia bad weather and these tentlemeo have all come to their homes in Goldsboro to wait "lill it breaks,off." They are all well known to the mercantile public and thtir many friends around Goldsboro are familiar with such names as Messrs, Ben King, Ben Campen, Frank Castex and Henry Grimes. The strawberry crop, which is the "money crop," for the people Between here and Wilmington, has already teon put on tbe mar ket, or as much of it ss is bb le able. Mr. W. B.

Funston carries an annual pass ";he Mlssourl pacific railway. The maDIier ln which he got it illustrates the facility with which he decides upon a Dlan of action. It was out at uowna, Kan., that the affair took place. One morning the engine which was to convey the passenger train to Atchl Bon was brought down a few mluntea in advance of the arrival of the tram and stopped on tbe main line about 60 yards ahead of the engine wmcn woma bring the train in. Suddenly a cry, "Hi, stop that en gine!" startled the crowd. The engi neer Jumped toward his moving ma chine, but It was some distance from him and picked up speed, which show ed that nursult would be fruitless. Sev eral yardmen Joined ln the pursuit, but they also gave it up, and, as there was not a man ln the lower yards. It became evident that the engine would continue until it came to a stop of Its own accord. The Downs operator was looking out of his big bay window ln the depot nnd saw tbe encrlne start Like a flash the situation dawned upon his mind. He calied up Cawker City- Tb re sponse was prompt, and. realizing that no railroad man needed a diagram, he sent Cawker this brief message: Runaway engine. Throw derailing BWitcn. it hannoned that Funston wa In the Cawker office when the message wss recclvei. As the operator dashed out of the room to throw the switch he BhontP(1 lhe t shouted the telegram to Funston. AboUt ft hundred yards west of the station was a water tank. Funston msnea to n ana cumuea up w www to the platform, wnicn was on a level with the crane witn wnicn tne engine was suDDlled with water. Around the curT6 cftme tbe engine, going swift enough to deter any but the most ex perlenced railroad man from attempt- i. 1U 10 UUIU ,u Funston did not Intend to board In the ordinary way. Carefully he calcu lated the speed of the engine and the distance he was above it, and'then, as It passed the tank, he leaped for the tender, fell among the coal and tools, scrambled Into the cab, seized the throttle, shut off the stoam, put on the air and opened the sand valves. "It wasn't much," said he. "Even If the old kettle had run off the track I could have got off all right." But tbe company presented him with an annual pass, and it Is always among the first to be renewed each new year. t was while Funston was a cowboy In one of the cattle couuties of western Kansas in the early eighties that an other incident happened. It was election night, the close of a bitter campaign, and it was conceded by both sides that the victors would have very little to crow over. At about 4:30 or 5 o'clock returns had been re ceived from every precinct except Lit tle Medicine, and the leading side was but four votes to the good. The vote ln each precinct was small, and, al though not much time was taken ln counting, there was great delay ln get ting the returns to the county seat Little Medicine was claimed by both parties. Tha excitement was Intense, No one thought of going to bed. Some of the sportier boys were putting up money on the result. The list of voters In Little Medicine was gone over again nnd again, and each time both parties claimed that their side was sure. About 5:30 o'clock the chairman and secretary cf the Republican committee, With a little knot of the faithful, walk ed out to where they could command a view of the trail the messenger would take. Through the gray light of the coming dawn the figure of a man on horseback was discerned. Was it the messenger? What If It should turn out that it was not the long looked for messenger from Little Medicine? "It's him!" yelled the secretary. "It's ole Bill nickeyf I'd know that there yaller broncho among a thousand I" Down Into a dip In the prairie went horse and rider; up again on the next swell. It was old Bill Illckey. Stand Ing up ln the stirrups, lashing tbe bron cho Into a final burst of speed, swing ing his hat and yelling at the top of bis voice, old Bill dashed up to tbe little group, flung himself from the saddle, with a wild "Whoope-e-el" and asked what the result was in tbe county. The chairman pushed hla way for- iward and asked old Bill for the result ln Little Medicine. : "Little Medicine!" roared old Bill. '"Little Medicine, 1 1 dou't know MVkUIU ivui uiuiu mruiL hit , it 1 1 there 'fore they commenced oountln the votes. Whichever side wins'll onlv haTe ,bout seven majority.

"Bill," be said as he pulled a six hooter on the man from Little Medi cine, "Sit back into that saddle. Toint the critter's head the other, way. Now yon light back for Little Medicine, and If yon show up In this town again be fore those returns do we'll maul your ornery frame until your hide won't bold shucks. Gltr Wlthrttlt nrotopt iha nrAor vera obeyed. The little group returned to the headquarters room, and the broncho made a yellow streak through the at mosphere In the direction of Little MedlcIneT" "l The chairman was Fred Funston.

The waters were full of fine trout, but the boys were not sufficiently skilled to land enongb of them to satisfy the voracious appetites of the camping party. One day, however, Funston took a comrade and started out to do or die. They went up the Big Thompson to a place where a very short fall formed a pool below. In passing up stream the fish Jumped this fall, and at times as many as a dozen were In the air at pnee. itn a wi too two ecienauv sportsmen captured 313 trout In three hours, and for the first time slnco Chancellor Snow's advent In camp he bad enough fish to eat To get their catch borne the boys filled a knapsack and a game bag and put the rest on two strings, 50 on each. A Manila correspondent pf Leslie' VVeekl tells the following story of bow General Funston once avenged his horse in the Philippines; Colonel Funston sat on his horse, watching his Kansas boys fire at tbe enemy at Caloocan, when an orderly came up with the commanding gener al's compliments and an order to stop firing. . .. ... - - - "Cease firing!' shouted the colonel. Only a few of the nearest men heard him, and tbe firing kept on. 't'ease firing!" ordered the colonel again, and this time the bugle gave forth the peal, and the filing, after scattering, stopped altogether. Just then a ball from the Insurgents drilled the neck of the colonel's pony, tyulfk as a flash Funston wbtrk) around. Ore In his eyes. "Commence firing!" he sboutad at the fop of bis voice. "Give 'em at UOQ ards!" It took three or four rounds of am munition all along the line to avenge that horse, thoogh the colonel Mill rldea It Mr. William Allen White of Empo ria, Kan., who Is a bit of a sportsman and knows bis Rockies 6brewdly, re lated the following experience of Gen eral Funston to a correspondent of Forest and Stream: General Funston of Kansas, who bas made so meteoric a record for himself In Cuba and the Philippines. Is a great friend of Mr. White, and they two have hunted together for many years. Once upon a time, berore the game laws bad very much respect given tht-m In Colorado, these two worthies wire on a hunting trip in the siinniirr time out beyond Estes park. Here, in a lit tie valley, they came upon a descru-d village, some scores of bouses without a single Inhabitant, the abandoned camp of an earlier mining stampede. They took possession of this town ln the name of Kansas, hoisting over It their broad pennant, and when they got tired of living In one house they moved into another. Mr. Funston, whom Mr. White de scribes as a shocking bad shot, went put hunting regularly after mountain sheep and finally succeeded In killing a good ram, which they bore in triumph to the house which at the tiiue ihey were honoring with their presence. They had disposed of most of their sheep, when one moniing they were surprised to receive a visit from tbe game warden. While Mr. Funston en tertained this gentleman In the front parlor Mr. White pulled up a couple pf boards in the drawing room and lost tbe head under the house for the time being. The game warden departed, si lenced and apparently convinced. A few days later than this Mr. Fun ston went out after raspberries, taking his gun along, as usual. He gathered a pailful of berries, which be put In a shady spot and threw his gun down beside them. Wandering a llttlo way from this spot he at length lay down and went to sleep. He was awakened some time later by an unfamiliar noiso and on sitting up saw a very hand some cinnamon bear making for his pall of berries. It need only be added that the bear got the berries, the gen eral of volunteers making a masterly retreat along the mountain side until he reached the bosom of the deserted, village a foresaid.
