scription. mutilated as it is, sufices to
confirm Pausanias' statement that the
treasury was built out of the spoils of
the battle of Marathon. The walls Of
the building, Mr.. Frazer goes on to
say, as high up as the a%rchitraves.
were covered with inscriptions, most
ly Attic or relating to Athenians. BY
comparing the inscriptions it has been
found possible to determine the order
of the courses Of masonry; in this way
the antae have been restored from top
to bottom, and give the height of the
editice.
A frieze of triglyphs and sculptured
metopes extended round all four sides
of the building. The metopes, 80 in
number, have been found almost IN
tire. The metopes are sculptured with
the battles Of the gods and the giants,
and the deeds of Hercules and Theseus.
The French archaeologist Homolle,
who "a the director of the excava-
tons, says: Il know no monuments
among the works of the beginning OF
the fifth century B. C. Of which the
execution. is more sharp, delicate and
elegant. The sculptures have the
same qualities of grace. and precision.
The archaic severity is tempered by
a softness of modelling rare in works
Of this date, and by a certain richness
that both surprises and charms us"
M. Homolle assigns the date of this
treasury, which after long centuries
is now again rising on the sacred rock
of Delphi, to between 400 and $50 B.

Miss Frances White celebrated
her birthday, Tuesday, in a most

party to a number of her young

do in the way of fun, isn't worth
mentioning.
Mrs. Peterson, an evangelist
from Denver, arrived here on Sat
urday, to open up union religious
services. Although her meetings
are not largely attended, they are
met with interest by those who do
attend. 1t can be truly said that
Mrs. Peterson is conscientious
Christian woman, and would, if
circumstances were different, do
some good work in La Jara. La
Jara people are certainly in need
of a better church influence than
now exists and two thirds of the
are sincere in wishing
that conditions were different.
However, it will do you good to
go and hear Mrs. Peterson who
will be greatly encouraged by your
presence.
