Il was Jamie's bath night. He had
several each week and he hated them
all. On this particular night, once
started, he soaked and splashed in the
tub for a full half hour, then his
mother hailed him forth He came out
of the room in his pajamas with his
face all streaked and dirty as it was
when he went in.

OWNS UNIQUE STATUE

knowledge of the subject. Mr.. Lieb-
man says he has been advised by DR..
Kelley Of the City History club to hold
on to the statue as 1t is sure not to
depreciate in value from the collec.
tors standpoint.
During the centennial Of 1883 1t
had place on the temporary arch at
Washington square. 1t is a fine piece
Of work and 1t was admired by thou
sands. 1t would have gone to the Chi
cago worlds fair had those in charge
of the arrangements here known OF
its existence in time to send It, At
the time Senator Depew sent a letter
saying that he did not find out about
the statue until too late to have it
shipped.
Mr.. Lehman has made many in.
quiries from the Sons of the Revolu-
ton and the Colonial Danes about the
statue. He is not rich, he says, and he
finds that the competition in his trade
is pretty stiff, but he intends to hold
on to the statue.

down. You need frequent baths and
plenty Of fresh air, and advise you to
dress in the coolest, most comfortable
clothes-nothing stiff or formal
when she got home her husband
asked her what the physician had said.
The lady replied:
He said must go to the seashore,
do plenty of automobiling, and get
