The spring of 1902 was at least two weeks

many acres of crops were put in by the

that the coming summer will be warm

Equestrian Statues.

General Andrew JacksonS statue in la
fayette Square. Washington, Is the. oldest
equestrian statue now standing In the
United States.
The first equestrian statue erected In
the New World which still stands. Is a
colossal statue of Charles ". Of Spain in
the city of Mexico.
South American cities have MANY eques-
trian statues but the most notable is
that of Bolivar, the Venezuelan liberia tor.
which has u prominent place in one of
the parks of Caracas.
1t IL estimated that there are almost 100
equestrian Statues in the world. At pres
ent Washington has eight or one-ffticth
of the entire number scattered among
the cities of all countries.
The first of such statues erected in the
Western Hemisphere was one Of George
Ill. of England, which was placed in
Bowling Green, New York, III 100. 1t
stood for sin years, when it was destroyed
by soldiers and patriotic citizens.
The first movement to erect on eques-
trian statue to General Washington was
inauguratcd in the Continental Congress
in 1tS3. The first one. however, was not
erected until 1860. and was designed by
Clark Mills. and stands in Washington
Circle, at the national capital.
The only women to have equestrian
statues erected to their memories are
Queen Victoria, Maria Theresa and
Jeanne dare. The most notable statue
erected 10 the latter is in Paris. but there
is a very beautiful one at the Guard Ave-
nue. entrance to Paramount Park.

age was d remarkable man. He had
been a prominent figure in Washington

ed from childhood and totally blind
since bovhood, he became a power in

lecturer. He was tireless worker
and kept we'll informed on current
events. 1t is of interest that he owed
his first election to the position of

in 1S45 to a fearless denunciation of
the drunkenness and profanity of a

The Road to Yesterday,

There is a road to yesterday;
The grasses grow beside,
And trees that spread and swing and swa,
And shade the pathway wide,
Its flowers are goodly sight,
And it goes on and on
And leads to many starry night
And many Il cloudleSS dawn.
There is a road to yesterday,
And we may trace it's CLEAN
In fiecking shade or dancing ray
, Upon some little stream;
Or We may see it, when, with eyes
+, Half-cloSed, we hear a song
That calls up many glad sunrise
And many a twilight long.
There is a road to yesterday,
And each one knows it's start
The portals to it's Wondrous way
Is held beneath the heart;
From there the pleasant courses lead
AS far as one can see
1t rests or many Il golden deed
And many a memory.
