we're in judging the taste Of their fell
low-countrymen as they look upon
some of our public statues Neverthe-
less, If they will reflect a moment, they
will find we have no reason to be
ashamed.
In France, the nation perhaps fore
most in the arts, statue has just been
erected to the great statesman Gambet-
ta, at Scvres where he owned q small
estate, Of which he was very fond, and
where he died.
This monument was not erected by
natives of France rs France is now
bounded, but by subscriptions from.the
inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine,
the two provinces lost in the unhappy
war with Germany.
1t is Of heroic size, situated upon the
crest of hill where it dominates the
town. and is described n being ex.
tremely beautiful and imposing. II
represents Gambetta erect upon q CEN
trail pedestal. clasping in his arms the
flag of France. Below him are seated
two female figures representing the two
lost provinces. one wearing the nat CAP
of Lorraine. the other the wide-winged
head-gear of Alsace, with its enormous
bow.
The faces Of both are wild and des-
perate, and the latter grasps with one
hand the arm of little boy seated upon
her knee. while with the other hand
extended she seems to point out to him,
as an object of hatred, the distant Ger
man frontier.
The whole group breathes Of war and
the longing for revenge; yet il was de-
signed by Bartholdi. the sculptor Of our
noble and pacific Liberty Enlightening
the World! One wishes the light OF
Liberty's torch might reach q little
farther, and incline the French to KEEP
their republic as peaceful in spirit as
our own.
But il such a suggestion were made
to . Frcnchman. he would doubtless
remind MS that beyond the frontier tO
which the fierce Alsatian points there
stands upon the banks of the Rhine
another statuc.-armed, threatening,
gigantic. elevated upon = commanding
crag near the rivcr-represcnting the
victorious Germania on guard over her
conquestS
One statue threatens war, and one de-
fics attack: in neither, however artistic,
does art hold the first place.
A little American boy, still in petit
coats, stopped not long ago to gaze at .
statue Of Washington in which the
father Of his country was represented,
rs is too frequently the case. with arm
outstrctched and foot advanced in Q
much too oratorical attitude.

We have no statue in America which
suggests . more terrific threat than
this. and in real life, either of nations
or individuals, how much better is
comedy than tragedy!-YOuth's Com

1t Is Not Always Safe to Judge Men by
Appearances.
1t is never safe to argue from appear
ances, but the lesson is one which is
continually being learned by some
hasty reasoner
rniddle-aged man, whose dress and
manner gave him Il rural look, came
into large mercantile establishment
in Chicago, and, after taking a survey
of the office, asked
Where's your telephonc?"
Over there" answered one of the
clerks, with Il wink at the others.
Want to send message, uncle?"
Without replying, the caller walked
across the room, took down the receiv-
or, placed it to his ear and stood for a
minute as still as statue, evidently
listening and waiting for the mystcri-
Gus instrument to say something to
him.
Then he carefully hung up the rcceiv-
er, glanced about the room and noticed
that the face of every clerk was
stretched out of it's normal shape by a
smile of generous proportions Again
he returned to'the attack. After listen
ing as before, he tapped on. the trans
mitter several times. Again he waited.
Then he glanced apprehensively about
him, put his lips close to the phone and
said, quietly-very quietly:
''IIello!'
This was too much for the amused
clerks to stand, and after hearty cho-
rus of laughter one of them kindly vol
untecrcd to show the man how to opcr-
crate the new-fanglcd talking machine.
Hang up that receiver just as it was
when you found it. Turn that little
crank at the right, which rings the bell.
Then take down the phone, place it to
Your ear. and when the central girl an
swers tell her"
. The supposed rural visitor slowly
turned and, after gazing moment at
the speaker, said, quietly:
My young friend, am the inspector

telephone. Do You think you can teach
me anything in this line?"-Goldcn

time for them to cat supper. They sat
down to table on which were two
plates, mugs, napkins, knives and
forks.
Pat looked pleased when he saw the
nice bread and butter, cake and milk
on the table. They both put the nap
llins round their neclss. Pat cut ND the
bread with his knife and fork, drank
the milk, and soon his plate was empty.
lie slowly wiped his mouth with the
napkin, then, all at once, lie jumped
upon the table, and took the bread from
Mrs. Rooncy's plate. She began to
scoid him, and made the dishes rattle;
Pat laughed, and taking the table-cloth
threw it around Mrs. Pat, and they
rolled over and over on the floor
The children laughed and shouted to
sec the funny creatures. The monkeys
were now in for fun and chased each
other up and down the high poles.
When the monkeys were tired of
jumping they sat down in little rocking
chairs to rest, talking to each other.
Perhaps they said: ''Why do those chill
drcn. laugh so much? We can laugh at
them for being SO silly"
'Now for race" cried Pat. So
again they ran up and down the poles
and round the cage, chattcring all the
time. The children were sorry TO go
away, but will come again some day to
visit Pat Rooney and his wifc.-S.

James S. Simmons said yesterday
that real estate was certainly more
active than it had been for months. He
sold seven lots on Monday, on which
houses will be erected immediately.
There is great demand for lots in the
Roanoke Development Company's tract,
and the vehicles of the agents are now
ousy carrying prospectors to that
locality. Captain Rogers purchased
sixteen lots yesterday in the Linwood
addition, and several other large sales
are now being planned. Most of the
sales that are being made are on solid
