BYRON WAS BARRED.

Dean of Westminster Refused to Ac-
cept statue of Poet.
Many years ago some admirers of
Lord Byron raised subscription for a
monument to the poet, to be placed in
Westminster abbey. Chantrey was re-
auested to execute it, but on account
of the smallness of the sum subscribed
he declined, and Thorwaldsen was
then applied to and cheerfully under
took the work.
In about 1888 the finished statue ar
rived at the custom house in London,
but, to the astonishment of the sub
scribers, the dean of Westminster, DR..
Ireland, declined to give permission to
have it set up in the abbey, and, owing
to this difficulty, which proved insur-
mountable, for DR.. Ireland's successor
was of the same opinion, 1t remained
for upward of twelve years in the Gus
tom house, when Q846) it was re-
moved to the library Of Trinity col
lege, Cambridge.
The poet is represented In the statue

with his left foot resting on the frag-
ment of a column. In his right hand
he holds style up to his mouth; in his
left book, inscribed "Childe Harold"
He is dressed in froclS coat and cloak.
Beside him on the left is skull, above
which is the Athenian owl. The likeness
is of course posthumous. Thorwaldsen

Thrifty souauderer..

When Napoleon entered Genoa in
1905, the rich patricians of the city
exerted themselves to gain the favor
Of the conqueror by all sorts Of fiat
tering attentions. The most elaborate
of these was banquet patterned after
the famous one offered by Antony to
Cleopatra.
The tables were set In an artificial
garden, floating on pontoons, which
were towed out to sea during the prog
ress of the feast. At the conclusion Of
the banquet-agaln in imitation Of An
tony and Cleopatra-all the costly gold
and silver plate was flung into the sea.
This little tribute of honor to the en-
peror was not SO expensive as it SEEM
ed, for the floating garden was SUI
rounded with nets, and the plate was
subsequently recovered.

What Men Like In Men.

Men like in men these traits: The
honor that ennobles, the justice that
insures the right, the reasonableness
that mellows and makes plain, the
courage that ppoclaims virifity, the
generous instinct that disdains all
meanness, the modesty that makes no
boast, the dignity that wins respect,
the flneness and the tenderness that
know and feel. But when one thinks
Of it more carefully may he not sum
it up in just single sentence and ac-.
cept 1t as the truth that all men like a
gentleman 1-Cosmopolitan.

A Model Surveyor.

The Kingman Leader Courier tells of
an early day county surveyor in King
man county, Kan, who neither pos
sessed any instruments nor could have
used them If he had. His method of
measuring land was to tie his ankles
together with cord that was just
long enough to allow him to step one
fifth Of rod each time, and thus hob
bled he would strike out, counting his
steps until he had made. a sufficient.
number to cover the desired distance
The cord or string used by him in
fastening his legs together. says the
Leader-Courier, was made of raw
hide, SO that when he was travelling
through the grass of morning when
the dew was on it would become wet
and stretch nearly foot, and so his
steps were much longer Of a morning
than they We're of an evening after the
sun had dried the whang leather and
shortened it. Consequently the man
having his land surveyed in the morn
ing would have much more in his
quarter section than his neighbor who
had his work done in the afternoon.
These old surveys and corners then es-
tablished cause annoyance even to this
day.

man at the club, when Tom Reed was
the czar of the house of representa-

friends when that man you see over
there by the cigar counter pushed his
way through the crowd, grasped Reed
by the hand and said etfusively: Hello,
Tom, old boy! How do you do?'
Freed responded in manner that
was more of shake for the man
than for his hand and went on with
his talk. When our friend over there
had edged out of the crowd, some one
said: You didn't seem to be happy
over him, Reed. Who is your friend,
anyway?
Reed drawled out, He's fellow
from New York who knows more men
who don't want to know him than any
other man in the United States DE

coo oess!samvn n,s,Il FOR SON
L. Patnoid Comes To Grand
Junction, from Kansas to care
for Sick Boy and latter
is missing.

Last Friday afternoon a young man
about twenty four years OF age made ap-
plication to Mayor Sampliner for sufdic-
lent money to telegraph his father that
he was ill and was in need of money to
go home.
Mayor Sampliner Immediately had the
telegram sent to the father OF the boy
and then found him quarters at the Ar
mold lodging house on Fourth street,
pending the arrival Of the money.
Sunday the telegram OF the boy was
answered by tho father, stating that he,
the fasher, would start at once for Grand
junction to care for his son.
When the telegram was received by
the boy he became mad at once and said
be did not want his parent here and
went out of the telegraph odace in worry
petulent mood.
This morning the father of the boy ar
rived in this city. His name ie L. Pat
mold and he halls from Jewell County
Kansas. He went in search OF his son
at once, but could not flnd him and the
conclusion is that he has skipped the
country or is sick somewhere and does
not desire to see his father.
The name OF the boy is l.. A. Patnoid
and Mayor Sampliner says that whom
he called on him he looked as II he
might be coming down with the typhoid
fever. The father is very anxious to fino
him and Mayor Sampliner has started
the police in search for tho missing boy
or young man, as the father is quite anx-
ious over the matter, especially ss the
bov was mad when he received the tele-
gram.
The father stated to a Sentinel man
this morning that he would have sent
the money to the boy, but he thought it
might have been an imposter Who had
wired him ard he was also very anxious
about the condition OF his son The first
telegram from him said that he wanted
thirty hve dollars with which to come
home and the father reasoned that il he
was sick and wanted to come home, that
he could do better by the boy to 20 after
him as he might be seriously ill by the
time he arrived hero.
The father is very much concerned
and as he is farmer and not conversant
with the ways OF the town and the many
people who are hunting to destroy WHOM
they may see, he feels keenly about the
matter.

To Recognize The Goat.

In all probability a bill will be
introduced in the coming session
of the legislature to put a tax on
goats by requiring their mention
on the tax lists. This is not to
prevent the voracious tin-can
eaters from being raised in the
state, but to afford them the same
protection accorded to horses,
dogs and other domestic animals.
AS a matter of fact the word
"goat" appears at no place in
the Arkansas statutes, and to all
intents and purposes they are
dead letters, so far as the law
goes. If a mans flock of goats
entered ancther's property, he
could shoot them with impunity
and the owner could have no
recourse in law.-Arkansas Ga
zette.
