Improving a Statue.

Professor Brutt's recently completed
equestrian statue to Karl Alexander at
Weimar looked too new to suit the
sculptor after IT had been unveiled
and In order to give the work dignity
Y was subjected to patina process.
When this was completed the statue
was, according to a Berlin paper, a
light frog green, and it's appearances
caused much merriment. The sculp-
tor set nen 10 work taking Off what
they had put on, and at the end of the
day the statue became a bright metal
lie rider on grass green horse. Then
the town authorities had n placard fas-
tened on the statue. stating that the
municipal government was blameless
for what had been done to the work
or art. The horse and its rider will be
restored to their original bronze condi-
ton and In time will probably assume
the tint which it was intended to pro-
duce. but for years the memorial will
be pointed ont as the green one.

upon going below. Esterbrooke held
back as they entered the saloon. Here
was a babel of sound Babies and
children cried through hunger and
fear, and tired mothers sought inef-
fectually to secure quiet
Through the confusion Osbon passed
with the assurance that two rowboats
had been sent out to forage and that
food would presently arrive. His good
humor had not failed him, and wher-
ever he passed he left a trail of
smiles behind.

Betty was made comfortable the rest

protest, but for once Osbon forgot to

he said fiercely. 'If I hear another
word from you I'll throw you over

He looked as though he longed to do
It, and Esterbrooke subsidized with a
suddenness that was surprising.
The return of the boats with such
stores as they could obtain helped to
lessen the discomfort. Osbon dealt
out the supplies with careful hand
and a CHEEKY word, and presently the
women and children sought rest on
the saloon floor. The men gathered on
the lower deck and smoked and slept
as their fancy dictated.
Esterbrooke, finding the situation
intclerable. at last engaged some of
the crew to put him ashore. When
the morning sun began to paint the

that should signal the advent of the

The human race Is a brave race.
1t Is proved by the fact that Il con.

live. And humanity Is so stout hearted
1T fights the battle OF life SO long as II

Humanity is brave.
Men aud women daily face conflicts
that might well daunt the intrepid
gods. Think you because they 70

tasks that test all their fortitude. no
sorrows that must be courageously
borne?
Humanity Is brave
Here is one fighting to keep In sub
lection his lower nature. Think OF the
duels he fights! Who knows the striy.
ings OF his defeats, the gailantry of
his victories? He is brave man. as
brave as ever couched lance In rest

tackles the wild beasts in the arena of
business competition and one who
struggles with great sorrow.
Humanity is brave.

Yes. humanity is brave.
But 1t needs to repeat daily the
prayer or Robert Louis Stevenson:
Ihe day returns and brings us the
round OF Irritating concerns and du-
Ties. Help us to play the man; help
us to perform them with laughter and
sind faces; let cheerfulness abound
with industry Give us to GO blithely
on our business all this day. bring us
TO our resting place weary and content
and undiscovered and grant US In the
