History was then made fast for the
little road. G. "A. Pillsbury bought it
in 1885, and the Harriet Excelsior line
was abandoned in 1886, the Great

Hopkins to Excelsior and the right Of
way from Harriet to Hopkins being
surrendered. When the street rail-
way got the road, the Minnehaha line
was abandoned and the Washburn
park and Harriet lines were converted
into electric lines. Colonel McCrory,
who built the Motor line; had In mind

Hutchinson and from the Falls to

shivering he saw wild ass come by.
And Adam cried to the beast 10 lie

rector OF the excavations has now I'M
earthed the enormous pedestal which
once bore the equestrian statute OF
DomitIar, reared in honor Of that EN-
peror's triumphant campaign against
the Catti and Daci The base of this
colossus measures forty feet in length,
twenty in width AMI ten in thickness,
and lay about five feet beneath the
present level Of the Forum. Traces
of the sockets wherein were the iron
supports OF the bronze statute and
remnants Of the horses feet go to
show that the horse and the figure
OF the Emperor Domltan were six
times larger in size than the recently
unearthed pedestal. The pedestal is
situated toward the centre OF the
Forum. The statute has the Basilica
PAUL. on it's left, the spacious Basilica
Julia on it's right, and the Temple OF
yespasian in its rear. The discovery
confirms the speculations OF earlier
psychologists, and is Of extraordinary
importance as regards the Forum

hotel.
A group OF reporters surrounded
him. One of the reporters said:
why don't you try to down ritual

rather than with violence?"
The vicar smiled. Sermons" he

often this effect is the opposite one to
what the sermonizer intended"
