Hard Worked Woman Not Ready to

A Massachusetts, man, whose busl
ness frequently takes him over the
line into Vermont, says that one even

that state when he observed that the
wife of the owner-a poor, wan little
woman-was doing every bit of the
work around the house.
AS he himself put it, she dio an
amount of work that would have put
an ordinary Massachusetts, horse to
shame and he really felt like vii
lain sitting there watching her.
Feeling considerable compassion for
the woman, who looked as if ready to
drop from overwork, the visitor
asked:

Surely you are not going to try to pull

That art is long is again illustrated
by the delay in the completion Of the
equestrian statue of Lafayette In
Paris, for which 100000 were sub
scribed, chiefly by American school
children, nine or ten years ago. A
bronzed model of the statue was un-
yelled with elaborate ceremonies dur
ing the last Paris exposition in 1900.
The sculptor, Paul Wayland Bartlett,
was not satisfied with this model, and
he has been at work on the figure
ever since. The latest reports from
him indicate that he has finally pro-
duced a statue which commends it.
self to his judgment, and he will soon
be ready to have it cast in bronze. In
the meantime the model that was un-
yelled in 1900 has fallen to pieces and
its ruins have been removed from the
pedestal. Americans in Paris are
wondering when the completed figure
will be set up. The reputation of Mr..
Bartlett, the sculptor, is such that
one may safely look for a fine work
of art when he says that he has done
his best with It.

DECLARATION BY HUGHES
MAKES PUBLIC HIS VIEWS ON
THE ISSUES OF THE DAY.
Pays Tribute to RooseveIt-Says Sher
man Antitrust Act Should Be
Made Explicit.

New York, Feb. Gov. Charles E.
Hughes, whose nomination for the
presidency by the Republican national
convention in Chicago next June is
being urged by the New York county
committee and other Republican coun-
ty committees in New York state, has
made open declaration of his views of
national issues and principles.
Until Friday night, when he was
welcomed by scores of well-known Re-
publicans at a reception rendered him
at the Republican club, Gov. Hughes
has maintained silence on all ques-
tons affecting the country and the
definition of his position on federal
issues has consequently been expect
antly awaited.
First acknowledging the high honor
paid him by the club, and reviewing
briefly the record and policies of the
Republican party, Gov. Hughes paid a
high tribute to President Roosevelt
for his earnest efforts to right abuses.
The governor then denounced So
cialism as un-American, urged the
necessity of stringent measures to
prevent corrupt practices in elections,
and, in relation to special privileges,
declared there must be no encroach-
ment on the common right for the
purpose of serving the interests of
the few at the expense of the mary.
The speaker said he did not believe
in governmental ownership of rail-
roads, but that regulation of inter
state transportation was essential.
Of trusts and combinations, the
governor said:
"The Sherman antitrust act should
be clarified and made more explicit.
The law may be made stronger and
more effective by being made more
definite. Sweeping condemnations, of
uncertain meaning, do not aid but
rather embarrass the prosecution of
those who are guilty of pernicious
practices. Combinations and practices
in unreasonable restraint of trade and
which menace the freedom of inter
state commerce should be condemned
in precise, terms"

The funeral of Prof. Seymour Of
Yale, where the family wore no
mourning and the rites were of the
simplest, was presumably just as he
wished it. Many a man would prefer
that no emblems of mourning be worn
for him, even by his widow, but it is
seldom that such wishes .-e re-
spected. Women do not necessarily
prefer to don the gloomy garb, but
seldom feel equal to defying the con-
ventiona,ities to the extent of reje.t-
