distinctive features since the new, own

possession. When Mons Anderson was
a millionaire and one Of the Wealthiest
men in the northwest, he embellished
the grounds of his home with several
fine pieces Of statuary which he pur-
chased in Norway. They were of high
artistic merit, were original works, and
would have attracted attention any
where.
After the death of Mr.. Anderson the
Y. w. G. A. and the very first act Of
the new owners was to tear down two
OF the, marble statues and hide them in
the barn. AS the residents Of La
Crosse had seen the marble images in
the old-fashioned garden for years past,
there was much surprise over their dis
appearance, and in the excitement Gre:
ated, the surviving relatives heard Of
what had been done and determined to
save these works of art. The associa-
ton gladly gave them up and both
statues will have an honored place else
where, and in more appreciative sur
roundings.
"You see, they were not draped ex-

charge of the home in answer to an in

removal, which many considered almost

dispatch from the czar after the agree

believed that he would have done 50

and important for the car to ignore.
