Kansas making it a misdemeanor to
steal a ride on a train has caused the
hobo army to leave that state. A

avowed purpose of the authorities to
compel them to work in the harvest

has been as remarkable as that of

From 1890 to 1900 the number of
spindles employed in silk factories in

the number of looms from 10000 to

dress: Little men should, of course,
be busted, for when they are placed
upon sufficiently ornate pedestal they
assume an importance-asize, that is
which nature never gavethem. A bust
of woman tlatters one feminine van
ity, that is as regards the narrowness
of the waist:But it is a poor recompense
after all, since the unhappy original
must go down to posterity as an &c
centric person who scorned the sweep
ing train.
Having thus dealt with the aesthetic
aspect or sta tues we may we'll proceed
to consider what useful functions they
fulfil. At once it will be urged that
they serve to keep the public i'm mind
of its benefactors. To those who have
conferred literary benefactions this is
but a dubious compliment. Many peo-
pie are familiar with the facial char
acteristics of Milton and Shakespeare
who have but a slender acquaintance
with their writings. 1t would be a
more profound tribute, therefore, to
prace tablets here and there, with ex
tracts from their writings, that the
world might know its great men from
their works. For example, If Polonius
advice to Laertes were placed aloft,
carved in enduring marble, and if peo-
pie read it--a daring hypothesis-there
the genius of Shakespeare. Nor is it
true that statues are an education in
the value of great men and makers of
history. To begin with. they are not
complete. Witness, for example, the
discussion in respect to the statue of
Oliver Cromwell. If the good people
who opposed it had their way, the
commonwealth would be blotted from
history. If statues have a historic val
no GhnlIId form a nlptn LIST
and London streets should manifest in
definite order Alfred to Edward. This
leads us to remark that statues are Of
ten erected out of mere caprice. A wave
of opinion makes a statue. One is as
likely to get a clear and accurate
knowledge of human nature from cpl
taphs. And if we were permitted to
express our real sentiments toward
statues, the expression of public opin-
i,if would ne leHGer- be confined to rail
way carriages.
The thoughtful man knows that there
have been many in the history of the
world to whose statues he would be
glad to pay a tribute, not of devotion
exactly, just as the whining school
boy would revel in shying a SNOWFALL
at a statue of Euclid. Not until this
matter of statues is taken properly in
hand shall we have them fulfilling d
really useful function. At present they
are grave, dead things; types and tam
gible expressions of death; warnings
of the day when the world will laugh
and we shall not hear it, and smile and
we shall not see it; the days when the
world will pass us by and we shall gaze
piteously upon it-it may be from a
cold pedestal whereon virtues are writ
which the world ignores, and faults
and follies of which the world once was
we'll aware are never inscribed.

is an intelligent man, and talks en-
tertainingly of South Africa and the
Boer war. When the war broke out
more than three years ago, Mr.. Wohl-
man was a prosperous farmer in one
of the most fertile regions OF the
Transvaal. He owned large tract
of land. several thousand sheep and
other property. besides having several
thousand pounds to his credit in bank.
He was among the first to join the
Boer army in the field and for thir-
teen months participated in the stir
ring campaigns in which the Beers
won the admiration of the world by
their valorous struggle against over
whelming numbers. He was finally
captured and sent to Cape Town. At
the latter place he was kept i'm prison
for six months, and was finally re-
leased after taking an oath not to
again bear arms against the British
Empire. Having come to America, Mr..
Wohlman finds himself with but few
dollars, the remnant of his little for

his eyes when he speaks of them. He
longs to be able to get to work so
as to earn money with which to bring

Columbus Ledger: The political sit

more interesting and 1902 will be an ex-
citing political year in this state. The
indications are that there will be con-
tests over nearly all of the state offices
and for more than one of them there
is likely to be three candidates in the
field. While interest in the campaign

governorship, the other contests will
be lively and interesting Opposing
candidates will meet on the stump
and from the mountains to the gulf

the opposing candidates will be heard.

Athens Banner: A gentleman of this

NJ. Smith. of the county of Oglethorpe.
and is posted as to the campaign being
made by the friends of Col Smith for
him for Governor. says: THE article
in the Atlanta Constitution of the 23d
instant in which it was stated that Col
Smith was likely to drop out of the
race for Governor. that he was very
much discouraged during his last visit
to Atlanta. etc. does very great in
justice to Col. Smith and his friends.
Instead of being discouraged Col.
Smith has the best of reasons for feel
ing very hopeful. While 1t is true that
he was slightly indisposed and confined
to his room during his last visit to
Atlanta. yet he saw and conferred
with hundreds of his friends from vari-
Gus parts of the state and was greatly
encouraged. The masses of the people
are sending him letters of encourage
ment from almost every county by
every mail Col. Smith. during the

in shape for another year At the
