the value OF its material is the only,
the chief, or even an important, claim
to attention would merely illustrate
the utter barbarism, the artistic I'M
maturity, of those responsible for Its
existence, and could win from civil

laughter much more likely, moreover.
to express contempt than amusement.
A gold statue would do that in inverse
ratio to its excellence as statue.
while it would provoke ridicult in d.
rect ratio to its lack OF excellence.
Piled or nodded into pyramid, or any
other similar geometric form, on the
other hand, million dollars worth Of
gold will not be unworthy of any
body's thoughtful contemplation. and
1t will impressively advertise one OF
Colorado's just rights to the worlds
respect.

Duncan had been sent to the hospi-
tai in the late autumn, suffering from
fever and assesses. He became so
i'll that the hospital authorities wrote
to his parents, who live near Ashland,
KY, that If they wished to see their
son alive they must come on at once.
The father, poor farmer, was with
out money to pay his own and his
wife's way to New York. He hoped
to obtain 1t soon somehow; but the
days went by, the sick soldier growing
worse, profoundly discouraged as he
was because he thought he should
never see his father and mother again.
A visitor at the hospital, lady,
heard of the case, and asked Miss
Helen Gould to investigate it. Miss
Gould did so promptly, with the result
that she sent money to the Duncans at
Ashland. They started for Brooklyn
on the first train after receiving it, and
were quickly admitted to see the son.
The Joy OF the sight of them acted
as tonic to him, and, much to the
surprise Of the doctors, who had given
him up, he began to improve. The
mother came daily to see him, and re-
NAMED each day as long as she was
permitted. The son, constantly happy
where he had been seemingly hopeless,
gained steadily.
Through Miss Gould's generosity the
mother remained near the hospital un.
til her son was able to travel.
