Then suddenly Betty had announced

to herself, fearing that her efforts
might prove fruitless. AS an amateur
actress she had won recognition, SO
naturally 1t was to the stage that she
turned in her need. After anxious days
of uncertainty she obtained the coveted
contract. She was engaged at a small

Y pears In q statue uneartneo Dy
the expedition of the general
exploration fund Of the University
of Chicago, now at Bagdad. The statue
is believed to be the oldest In the
world.
DR.. q. J. Banks, field director of the
expedition, has sent to the university
a detailed report OF the find and his
estimate that the statue has been
covered up for thousands of years
Hieroglyphic inscriptions on the arm
of the figure denote that 1t Is the ef-
figy of King Da-Udu, who, the report
adds may have been David. King Of
Ud-nun, the ancient name of the
Babylonian 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 diggers- 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
will be its chief treasure.
Not only in the form Of the chiseled
face does the resemblance to the Sena-
tor from New York find expression.
The curved lines of risibility that
marked the living king as a fit COM
panion In laughter to Mr.. Depew at
once attracted the attention of the ex-
plorers and were the subject of special
mention.
From beneath the thick coating of
dirt" the explorers account says, the
marble face seemed 20 light up with a
wonderful smile of qualification, for
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 accom-
panies the account that has to do with
the form of the whole statue it is
brought out that King Da-Udu was in
clined to physical stoutness, had lit
tie hair and an extremely high fore
head, and in height was also quite the
counterpart of the wit of thousands of
years later.
Senator Depew could hardly fail to
be pleased with this description of the
Babylonian raconteur-if he was one
whose smile comes down to the mod
ern world through the sands of CEN
turtles.
THE back and shoulders are grace
fully formed" says the description;
'the arms at the elbows are free from
the body and the hands are clasped at
the waist"
The smile. the clasped hands of evil
dent dissatisfaction bring readily to
mind the picture of a good joke just
told and of the joker awaiting the ap-
propriate applause and laughter.

of fine art and the neither milestone Of

the recognition Of the dramatist as a
literary artist and the means of giving
the young actor the training which
long runs deny him. Mr.. Jones de-
scribed nine-tenths of the entertain
ments at fashionable theaters as rank
tomfoolery.

ROMANCE OF A BANK NOTE

Twenty-Three Years.

From the London Mail
man who walked into the Bank of Eng
land the other day and laid ten-pound
note On the counter was surprised to hear
the clerk say: I'VE can't cash this. The
note was stopped twenty-three years ago"
Over twenty years back the note was
stopped by clerk then In the employ Of
one of the provincial branches of the Lon
don and County Bank. It had been brought
In by an empioye of one of the banks
clients In order to be paid into the clients
account, with some loose change
BY strange oversight the clerk, after
Jotting down the number of the note and
after counting the change, omitted to take
the banknote. When he discovered his
error note and messenger had disappeared.
Neither was seen again.
The clerk took counsel with a colleague
at the counter. and for the sake of their
own prospects the two young men deter
mined to say nothing about the affair but
to bear the loss themselves. Each paid f5
to make good the loss and stopped the
number.
The man who presented the note for pay
ment the other day had found 1t among the
papers of his father, who recently died.
The two clerks instrumental In stopping
the note were traced, and though both had
left the employ of the London and County
Bank long ago. each has received back his
45 after the lapse of twenty-three years.

Colossal Heavenly Body.
ON the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph
In the constellation Scorpio seen. when
visible at all, Tow down in our southern
sky Is a star of about the first magnt-
tude. called Antares.g7 This object Is, ac-
cording to measurement OF It's parallax
by Sir David gill. enormously distant.
and must, therefore, be a colossal body.
One of our astronomers. J. e. Gore, has
computed from photometrfc considera-
lions that its mass Is probably $1,000
times that of the sum-. AS q rule, the
tendency Of astronomers is to doubt
whether such differences as these figures
imply exist among the celestial orbs; but
undoubtedly the mass of Antares must
be exceptional. MIR. LarIxin Of the Lowe
observatory. California, points out that
round this great star IL q wide region
ssabout an void OF stars as any known to
the telescopist." Many starry fields are
encountered In the heavens These
hlackened and waste areas show no stars,

citizens are in earnest to provide such

the effort will prove to be successful. BY
the time the next inaugural period comes
around there will be a suitable place where
