Oldest Statue hnsssa sa.a q Have
Face RcsembitNa she Senator'S.
A remarkable resemblance = Sena-
tor Chauncey 81. Depew appears IN a
statue unearthed by the expedition of
the general exploration fund Of the
University Of Chicago, now at Bagdad
says the New York Herald The
statue is believed to be the oldest in
the world.
DR. f. j. Banks, field director Of the
expedition. has sent to the university
detailed report of the find and his
estimate that the statue has been Gov
cred up Cor thousands OF years. Hero
gIypic inscriptions on the arm of the
figure denote that it is the ehigy OF
King Da-Udu, who, the report adds,
may have been David, king Of I'd
nun, the ancient name of the Baby
lonian city of Bismya, where the statue
was discovered.
OF white marble, the statue was
found in fragments several feet apart
and secretly conveyed at night to the
house of the explorers because Of the
superstition OF the native di9gers Its
antiquity exceeds, the director says,
that Of any other known king Of Baby
lonia, and when the expedition returns
to the United States the marble statue
win be It's chief treasure
Not only in the form Of the CHS
elled face does the resemblance to the
junior senator from New York find ex-
preston. The curved lines of visibility
that marked the living king as q at
companion in laughter to Mr. Depew
at once attracted the attention Of the
explorers and were the subject Of spe-
cial mention
From beueath the thick coating of
dirt, the explorers account says. the
marble face seemed to light up with a
wonderful smile Of qualification fol
the long sleep Of thousands of years
was at an end and the long lost head
restored. or perhaps the smile was the
reflection of our own feelings
From the description that accompa
MES the account that has to do with
the form Of the whole statue it Ii
brought out that King Da-Udu was in
clined to physical stoutness, had little
hair and an extremely high forehead
and In height was also quite the coun
terpart OF the wit of thousands OF
years later
Mr.. Depew could hardly fail to bs

WHEN The FOG
SHUT DOW N

Tcopyrisht 1904 BY Richard - shelton.l
It was not until the tender began
TO bob about ia lively fashion that Me
Cusker would admit to himself the
truth of the suspicion which for the
past half hour had been momentarily
growing upon him. Yet he dared not
stop rowing lest the girl should sns-
pect The truth. He shut his teeth hard
as he bent over the oars.
The gray. dreary mist which had
shut down like a pail seemed growing
more dense, and By this he knew that
<larbness was coming on. Somehow in
the fog he had missed the yachts at
the moorings, and now the motion Of
the tender as she slid over the long in
coming swells told him they were well
out in the bay.
Ii was serious predicament. The
fog gave no sign Of lifting, and, with
darkness coming on, the chances Of
spending q night In the open boat were
somewhat more than MeCusker cared
to contemplate
Sorry, Miss Carey, but we've over
shot the mark and pulled past the
yachts in the fog. Hard port, please
Wen make them ia trice."
The girl smiled as she brought the
boat about
II wonder you can get your bearings

Babies in Demand.

@GiiI baSies are more popular than
boy babies five to one" said Carl Eiss
feldt, the superintendent Of a Lutheran
children's home-iinding association, at
the Republican House chat is at
least the case when children are adopted.
but according to the prevailing opinion
is not true Of the children which are born
into the world. The reason, / suppose,
is that when children are adopted the
man of the family gives way to the
wishes OF his wife, and she invariably
prefers little girl baby. White when
children are born into a household the
woman is always DESTROYS of meeting
the wishes of the husband and father,
he is always more proud OF a bouncing
baby boy than Of little girl, at least
for the first child. Whatever may be
the cause, it is fact that we cannot
supply che demand for girl babies, while
we sometimes are put to it TO find
homes for the boy babies which come
into our charge Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin.
