quota of Colonels. For our part
we think there ought to be a law
passed comforting the title of Col
onel upon every male child over IL
years Of age, without regard for
color or previous condition. In that
case all men would be ColOnels and
the women would be Colonelesses.
Here is the true line Of progress.
While OOlonels are in fashion let us
utilize them, as it were, for the
purpose of advancing civilization.
1t is idle for men who have no titles
to sneer at those who have. What
would Georgia do without her 100,-
600 Colonels? Without its Colonels
what a weak and vapid body the
Legislature would be. All, no (! let
us cling to our Oolonels. Instead
Of wedding them out, let us en-.
deavor to nurture those we have
and invite others through the me-
dium Of immigration agents. What
Georgia needs is more Colonels.

The Atlanta (Ga) Constitution
contains the following:
eve want it distinctly under
stood, before we proceed any further,
that we are a friend of the Colonel
that is to say, we are a friend of
the Colonel if he is not a military
Colonel. A military Colonel has no
right to the title. He may have
earned it in the war, right in front
Of the cannon's mouth, but more
peaceful days have dawned upon,
us, and now we have the insurance
Colonel, the sewing-machine Col
onel, the dry goods Colonel, the
commission Colonel, the grocery
Colonel, the newspaper Colonel,
and the lawyer Colonel. You may
make your Colonel from any pile
you choose, and we'll stand up
promptly and say we admire him.
There is honor in the title, and we
take pleasure in bestowing it upon
friend and foe alike. TO be a man
and not to be a Colonel unless,
indeed, you were promoted during
the wary, is something preposterous.
We can conceive of no such misfor-
tune as that which prevents a man
from becoming Colonel in his own
right. There is no law on the
statute book against it, and if there
were it would be a dead letter

The venus or Milo.

Boston J0urnal.l
The report that one Of the miss.
ing arms of this famous statue had
been discovered is followed by the
assurance of Gen. Meredith Read
the American charge d. affaires al
Athens, that both arms have been
found on the island Of Milo within
a distance of less than thirty feet
from where the statue itself was
taken in 1920. For the benefit Of
those who will be ready to greet
this announcement with head shak.
ings, and even derision and cries
Of fraud, General Read says: "Thc
arms are exquisitely modelled. One
holds a kind of disc OF shield. The
workmanship and the locality COM
pei even the skeptical to acknowl-
edge the authenticity of these won-
derful relics" The test of the
matter will be to forward the arms
to the Louvre in Paris, where the
mutilated statue has been standing
since 1884, waiting for the rest oil
her, and for the solution of the
mystery that has hung over her
lovely head ever since she came to
the light of the modern world.
Those lost arms have been the
theme Of more wild speculation
among artists and connoisseurs
than the lost tribe of Israel has
been to theologians. Each has had
his notion about the peculiar posi-
tion in which the body of the statue
required them to be placed. There
will be great curiosity to see who, Oh
whether anybody, has hit right
The arms also were needed to clear
up the meaning and even the name
Of the statue, for while the general
supposition has been that it was 4
Venus, and by Praxiteles, or least
copy Of that masters work, others
have denied that it was Venus at
all Our countryman, W. j. Still
man, an artist and a very competent
Judge OF art, trained by long OK
perience on classic ground, has
given his opinion that the work is
really a statue of Minerva, and he
presents some very plausible reasons
in support Of that conclusion. Il

The1r Cure by Surgical Treatment
sSacceHsfuIly Demonstrated.
Utica Herald.l
The general impression prevails
that broken-legged horse is of no
use to any one except the proprietor
of a bone-yard, and once an acci-
dent Of this kind occurs to horse,
the invariable order is to kill it to
relieve it of its sufferings. That
this is a grave mistake has been
demonstrated in this city. About
twelve weeks ago Nellie" a seven.
year-old black Pathfinder mare,
owned by Griffith G.. Williams, of
No. $50 Genesse street, had her
nigh hind Lex broken by the kick
of another Of Mr.. Williams horses.
The accident occurred in the early
morning, and when discovered the
leg was found broken half way be-
tween the fetlock and gambrel
joints. The lower part dangled
loosely, showing that the fracture
of the bone was complete. Nellie
was favorite, not only with Mr..
Williams and his family, but with
all the ladies and children in the
neighborhood, and her owner could
not part with her without strug-
gle. He consulted with one veter.
mary surgeon, and was told that it
was useless to attempt to save the
mare, and it should be killed. Mr..
Williams hesitated, but finally con-
suited DR.. John N. Taylor, another
veterinary surgeon, who, after ex-
amining the fractury, expressed the
belief that tie limb could be set
and the mare saved. This pleased
Mr.. Williams very much, and he
gave directions to spare no pains
or expense to accomplish the de.
sired result. Nellie was in splendid
condition, and DIR. Taylor believed
that the bone Of a horse in good
health should knit as readily as that
of a human being. He arranged a
canvas sling for Nellie and sus-
pended it from the ceiling of q box
stall, so that she could occasionally
rest upon the three uninjured limbs.
Then the fractured limb was set and
bound with leather and hickory
splints, surrounded with heavy
canvas bandage and a heavy leather
boot outside of all. Nellie flour
ished like a green bay tree, and
never missed a meal. After three
weeks a plaster of paris bandage
took the place Of the splints and
other wraps, and in seven weeks the
doctor had Nellie walking around
the stable. Friday a reporter of the
Herald saw the mare in q lot adjoin-
ing Mr.. Williams stable. She was
as lively as a cricket and as playful
as kitten, running at large in the
lot, and amusing herself by driving
her companion, a COW, from her
pail of feed. There was no band
adge on the broken limb, and no
sign OF a fracture, except a slight
enlargement at the joint, which is
decreasing every day. The limb is
exactly the same length as before,
and Nellie favors it but little, while
lrolicking about the lot. Mr.. Will
liams intends to turn her out in a
short time in the country with his
horse Clarence, and has every rea-
son to believe that he will be able
to drive her to carriage in the fall,
as usual. Before the accident she
showed a 2:4O gait, and he believes
she can do as we'll as that when she
comes back, and we hope he will
not be disappointed.

Nelson. "The hanging itself

"Why, the lifting me up after

he put the rest of the money, and
where they could find other horses
and valuables for Uncle Sans

satilaction the hanging was repeat
ed, with the same unpleasant
symptoms.
This, together with Nelson's ig-
norance OF the condition of his
neighbors' stables, failed to extort
the desired information, and he
was hung a third time.

is true he did most woefully "cuss''

but supposed he had it hid in the
neighborhood, and searched no fur
ther than the pockets. 1t seems
the fellows had followed him from
a boat whereon he had taken pass
age and saw him receive the money
from the clerk. One of them be-
came enraged, and, placing a re-
yolver against his breast said, "I'm
going to kill you dead"
"That was preferable to a renewal
of the hanging, and defed him to
put his threat in execution. |

Mr.. Nelson does not believe they
were Federals, as they called them
selves, but were highway robbers
who knew the surrounding country
and its people, as they called him
by his Christian name. For several
weeks after, horses and cattle were
missed, but the robbers. could not
be identified. No other victims
were subjected to the hanging tor
ture.
