He took down the image and hand

last day of the sittings, staggering

simply models.
That was the story of the Marcos
Botzaris monument. David had been
sufficiently young to be enthusiastic

agine he could do something which
had never been done before He had
succeeded. With the aid of the spirit
Of Missolonghi. he had succeeded.
In after years, when he departed
from France exiled by Louis Napo-
leon, wanderer on the face of the
earth. the irresistible desire to behold
once more his masterpiece finally drew
him to Greece.
Long before the vessel anchored
he caught a glimpse of the tumulus
erected at the foot of the bastion in
honor Of Botzaris. 1t made a small.
dark spot on the horizon but above. it
was speck, small and white. with
another dark speck beside it. He
knew the white speck was his statue
of the young Greek girl. but 1t was
not until he had landed that he knew
what is now matter of history
that his statue had been mutilated
almost beyond repair.
AS he reached the tomb, he wept like
a child. for. lying across the marble
figure was the unknown girl who had
originated the masterpiece. and who,
having journeyed to Missolonghi to
behold the composition once more.

the statue broken, the index finger OF

of broken heart. and. with her still

drama. Every week they gave a new
drama Of the wild and woolly west.

Henry Loomis Nelson, in his article
in the May Century, on Washington

capital as representative of the light
and shade of official life:
Madame" said an old diplomat at
his own table. Il have some bonbons
here from Paris. They have medal
lions Of the potentates of the world.
and l have had your rulers face
stamped on one of them. Is it not a
good likeness?" And he handed a
chocolate to the woman on his right.

not like the new President.

ever, before he could know what had

said to the butler: Wont you find
that bonbon which Mrs. G.

One day a delighted and awkward
new statesman was taking tea at the
house of clever woman, and was
suddenly plunged into terror. agony
and shame by the annihilation OF the
delicate and costly Sevres cup from
which he had been drinking. but be-
fore his palate was dry or his tongue

WHY AUTOMOBILES ARE UNPOPULAR
Machine Had No Respect for Even the
Sultan OF Morocco

Machine Had No Respect for Even tho
Sultan OF Morocco.
Consul Langerman of Tangier, who
has been on leave of absence, gives
the following explanation of why Mu-
ley Abdul Azziz, Sultan of Morocco,
prohibited automobiles in his country.
The French government presented
fine automobile to the Sultan, and
sent over an expert chauffeur to run
1t for him. The potentate was charmed
by the new means Of covering the
ground. and 1t looked as though horses
and state carriages would go to the
stable for good. But one day when
the Sultan was spinning along a road.
the machinery got out of order. and
the carriage escaped from the chauf-
feur's control. Then a tire exploded.
and the steering gear refused to work
The machine ran away. The Sultan
called upon it to stop. but it refused
to obey. The chauffeur saw death
ahead whether the inevitable accident
was fatal or not Then the machine
struck a rock. and both the Sultan
and the chauffeur were launched into
space, while the automobile turned
over with the wheels still spinning.
The Sultan was not badly hurt, but he
limped back to town and sent the
royal sledge hammer to smash the
royal auto to royal smithereens. Then
he forbade by an edict, an order. a
ukase. a law, a proclamation, and a
bull, that any of his subjects should
ever import or use an automobile"

BISHOP MAKES SLIGHT MISTAKE
Thought Dog Was Coming Into His
Pulpit-But 1t Wasn't

AhougHt LOG was Coming Into His
Pulpit-Bus 1t Wasn't
Among the stories which Bishop
Potter of New York, tells on himself,
is one relating to an historic Episcopal
church in the south. The bishop went
there to preach. AS he was running
over his sermon in the vestry, walk
ing up and down, dog got in through
the door and began to bark and snap
at his gown. The bishop stood it for
a while and then opened the door and
thrust the little meddler out into the
night. In a few minutes the bishop
went into the auditorium of the
church. Before him wound a spiral
flight of stairs, leading up into an old
fashioned pulpit, high above the con-
gregation. The bishop had just an
nounced his text and was launching
forth into his sermon, when he heard
below him pit pat" like the sound
Of the feet of an approaching animal.
There" he thought to himself, 'is
that dog again. l must have left the
door open"
The situation was embarrassing.
Hence the bishop resolved on sum-
mary and unbishoplike procedure.
Keeping the corner of his eye toward
the approaching footballs he waited
until the shadow of the intruder made
It's appearance around the curve.
Then out shot the bishops leg and
bis heel caught-not the dog, but the
old sexton in the pit of the stomach
aud sent him somersaulting to the
fcot of the stairs. The old man was
coming up softly to hand the bishop
some notices which were to be read to
the congregation.
