AN THE FOG"
FATHERS CROUCH.

Fathers got an awful crouch,
And answers things in grunts;
He mopes when he comes home al
night,
And does some funny stunts.
He wears a frown upon his face.
He's chilly as the pole,
Since mother told him it was time
To buy the coal.
He isn't like the dad of old,
When cheerful as could be,
He'd take us for trolley ride,
And sport with us in glee.
Instead, he doesn't say word
And never wears a grin
Since mother told him it was time
To fill the bin.
He sits and reads the paper when
The supper's cleared away
And through the evening not a word
Has father got to say
He has dazed look in his eyes,
And never minds a soul,
Since mother told him it was time
To buy the coal.

Paris, October 19.-With demonstra-
tons of patriotism such as have sell
dom been witnessed in Paris in re-
cent years and in the presence of a
great concourse of people, the great
Bartlett statute of Lafayette, the gift
of the government and school chill
dren of the United States to France,
was unveiled today on Louvre square.
Alexander H. Revell as president of
the Lafayette Memorial association
made the presentation speech, which
was replied to by President Fallieres
The American ambassador and other
distinguished representatives of both
the American and French govern
ments participated in the exercises.
The statute is four and half
metres high and is mounted on
beautiful PEDESTAL occupying prom
inent place on Louvre square. 1t
represents Lafayette at the age of 10,
when he joined Washington army.
The youthful figure, mounted on
charging steed, is clad in the colonial
uniform and holds a sword aloft. The
face is highly expressive, and fairly
glows with enthusiasm out of its
mask of bronze. Today was chosen
for the unwilling becauseof the fact
that it is the anniversary of the col
lection of contributions of the Ameri-
can school children, who furnished
the funds for the statue.
The scuptor's new work is entirely
different from the original cast dedi-

Statue Unueiled
With Patriotic Ceremonies
in Paris, Splendid Shaft

Gated in 1900. President Fallieres
has expressed his cordial approval of
the work, and the general opinion of
artists and sculptors is that the statue
is masterpiece and a great improve
ment on the original design.
Two years have been occupied by
Paul w. Bartlett, the sculptor, in
completing the work, and he considers
it by far the browning work of his
artistic career. Mr. Bartlett is an
American. having been born in New
Haven AZ years ago. He began his
career as a sculptor when a mere
boy, under the care of M. Fremiet,
and at the age of IA exhibited a re-
markable bust of his grandmother in
the salon. At Is he entered Ecole
des Beaux Arts, where he was a pupil
of Cavelier In 1887 he received
prize at the Salon for his group, The
Bear Tanner, now in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York. He was
made a chevalier of the Legion of
Honor of France in 1896 His prin-
cipal works have been the equestrian
statue of General Mcclellan, in Phil
adelphia; statue of Generals Joseph
Warren in Boston; statues of Column
bus and Michelangelo, in the Con-
gressional library, Washington, and
door for the tomb of Senator w. A.
Clark. His latest work, which has
been a labor of love for the school
children of his native land, has placed
him in a high niche among the sculp-
tors of the world.

If it were not for the countless tril-
lions of dust particles that float sep
arately, invisible, in the atmosphere
there could be no raindrOps, snow crys-
tails or hailstOnes. From Il perfectly
dustless atmosphere the moisture would
descend in ceaSeleSs rain without
drops. The dust particles serve as
nuclei about which the vapOr gathers.
The snow crystal is the most beauti-
full creation Of the serial moisture,
and the hailStOne is the most eXtraOr-
binary. The heart of every hailstone
is tiny speck Of dust. Such a
Speck. with little moisture condensed
about it, is the germ from which may
be formed a hailstOne capable of fell
ing Il man or smashing a window. But
first it must be caught up by a current
of air and carried to the level of the
lofty cirrus clouds, five or six or even
ten miles high. Then, continually
growing by fresh aCcessiOnS of mOis-
ture, it begins its long plunge to the
earth. spinning through the clouds and
flashing in the sun like diamond bolt
shot from rainbow.

laughter as he crossed the broad hall.
For a time she sat with compressed
lips as she pondered the situation. I'm
til two years before she had queened
it over the Glendale set both by virtue
of her husbands business and political
Importance and because of her own
skill as an entertainer. Then the new
pulp mill had been started at the upper
dam, and Renfew Bryan has brought
his family to live in Glendale.
From the first the two women had
crossed swords Mrs. Bryan, who had
humbly followed other leaders in the
city. now asserted her right to the
title in the small town. and by the
brillianry of her entertainments she
had very nearly wrested social su-
premacy from her established rival be-
fore Mrs. Paulding had realized what
was going on.
Her own entertainments became
more ambitious, and for the last year
the advantage had lain first with one
and then the other. TO have Fred fall
n victim to Nancy Bryan was the
worst blow she had sustained, and
had she known that Nancys mother
was as furious as she at the turn af
fairs had taken she would have de-
rived small comfort from that fact. In
bissful ignorance Of Mrs. Bryan's
state Of mind, she elected to believe it
a move of that designing woman.
TO add to the discomfort of the situa-
tion, she heard during the day that
Mrs. Bryan was to celebrate her re-
turn by garden party of unusual pre-
tentiousness.
A number of her city friends were
to make up house party, and there
was to be dancing on the lawn to the
music of an orchestra famous through
out the state.
In her Calmer moments Mrs. Pauld-
ing would have waited for revenge,
but Fred's admission of his love anger
ed her so that she lost her usual eau
tlon and announced a party for the
same afternoon and evening. She en-
gagged brass band for the promenade
music and arranged for a troupe Of
Arabian acrobats to perform on the
lawn.
Glendale society was shaken to its
foundations, and as each move was
communicated to the other contestant
through the medium of otiicious friends
some new feature was added as an Of
set until 1t seemed that nothing short
of the engagement of "a circus could
definitely settle the honOrs.
1t was in this frame Of mind that
Mrs. Paulding approached her son.
"YOu know that automobile you
wanted she began at the breakfast
table. ."Tll get it for you if you can de-
wise some feature that Mrs. Bryan can
not possibly get for her party. That
woman has copied every idea l have
originated so far"
do you give NE carte blanche" he
7 demanded.

"Spend as much as you like" she
murmured.
"And you won't ask what 1t is until
! spring it," he stipulated.
Il promise" she said. Il may rely
upon you, FredF'
"For the sensation of the season." he
assured, take heart of grace, mother
mine. l am planning to shake Glen
dale to its very foundations
Much relieved, Mrs. Paulding hurried
to confide to her dearest friends that
she would have a sensation that could
not be equaled. This In due course was
communicated to Mrs. Bryan, who
worried much; but, since Mrs. Pauld
ing did not herself know the nature of
the surprise, she could not betray
Fred's plans.
The day of the double header" as
Paulding irreverently referred to it,
dawned bright and beautiful, and by 2
o'clock the festivities We're under way.
There We're circus performances on
both lawns, and hOnOrs seemed fairly
even. Mrs. Pauldlng went about with
smile of confidence upon her face
and with skillful references to her sur
prise kept curiosity up to pitch. The
afternoon passed without the appear
ance Of the surprise, and the dusk had
gathered before Fred disappeared, and
word was passed that he had gone to
engineer the great event. An hour lat
er the Paulding butler sought his mis-
tress, and she vanished into the house.
She found Fred in the library, and
with him was Nancy Bryan.
81 want to introduce you to the SEN
sation," said Fred, with laugh, as he
led the girl forward. Nancy and
were married half an hour ago"
And this is your surpriseY she
gasped.
Gould you have greater One?" he
asked. Every one knows of the ri
valry between you and Mrs. Bryan. If
you turn your party into wedding re-
ceptiOn you'll beat Mrs. Bryan to a
Standstill. You've been Dragging about
your surprise. You pretend you knew
it was coming all along and the laugh
is on Mrs. Bryan"
For moment Mrs. Pauldlng hesi-
tated. In some ways 1t was a bitter
pill to swallow; but, as Fred had
the best Of the situation. She stepped
forward and took the bright faced girl
in her arms.

very glad to welcome my sons wife to
her new home. Let us go out on the
lawn. will introduce you to my
friends"
She turned toward the door, but
paused as down the street there came
the sound of marching band.
"What is that" she asked-"mOre of
the surprise?"
paulding nodded his head. ITS the
people from the Bryans coming to con
gratulate the bride" he exclaimed.
"Mr. Bryan was with us, but went
home to tell his wife and invite the
crowd over here. You have swallowed
up Mrs. Bryam's party with your coun-
ter attractions. guess I've kept my
promise, haven't IE'
Mrs. Paulding patted the curly head.
you have kept your promise" she
agreed. "YOu have shaken us all to
our very foundations" Then, putting
on her best smile, she led the way to
the piazza to meet Mrs. Bryan at the
head of her guests.

mildly. They had three weeks at the
