Helpless Figures, seiIsd and orimy, In
Stone and Bronze.
The ordinary run Of statues. unless
they are royal. have only one real
pleasant and satisfactory day in their
existence. and that Is the day they are
unveiled. If stone. on that day they
are spotlessly clean. If bronze, they
are nice and shiny. After that they
are never clean or shiny again. 1t has
to be the statue Of a very exalted per-
sonage for the SCOT to be scraped on
and to have ITS face washed once a
year. The average hero has to be sat
tsfied with being unveiled. After that
no one takes any further interest In
him. But 1t is most instructive to OBJ
serve the unholy skill with which the
SCOT and other accidents Of the air
will lodge on the top of venerable
bald head and on the surface OF what
should be an Immaculate frock coat or
a well fitting uniform. A Roman toga
that has met with accidents is not half
so ridiculous as a bronze frock coat
and immaculate bronze trousers that
have been the scene OF disaster. Stand.

TEST CASE To COME

Secretary Atkinson viii refuse to re-

any county may test the validity of
its passage in the courts. The Legisla-
ture sustained the Governor s veto of
the bill, later reconsidering its action

the veto.
1t is a question, raised by the Gov

Legislature is entitled to reconsider its
action on a veto after the result of
such action has been communicated to
the Executive.
