STRANGE STATUES IN VARIOUS
COUNTRIES.

suits of clothes. On ordinary Gays the
statue, which was erected by NOBLE
man to commemorate the finding OF MS
lost son, is unclad, but on fete days ana
special occasions it Is garbed most
strangely. Sometimes 1T is robed IN
court dress, sometimes in the UNIFORM
Of the guard civique or In Old french
costume. A maiden lady of Brussels
fell in love with the statue, and IN her
will she provided for the valet, who re-
ceives a salary Of $50. his duties being
to look after the wardrobe.
Some eight miles from Aberdeen,
Scotland. at Cutter is a most strangely
situated statue. It Is to the memory
OF the famous Rob Roy, the freebooter,
and is placed on ledge in the face or
q cliff. The story goes that one day
during his life Rob Roy was cornered
by soldiers at the top of this clin. ana
in order to save himself he jumped into
the river, fifty feet below. somehow es-
Gazing unhurt. AS his name, Rob Roy
Macgregor, shows, the robber chieftain
belonged to the clan Macgregor. and
