 A photograph of the statue of the
 Menute Man, as it now stands at
 Compo Beach, shows that the origi- nal design has been altered, in ac-
 cordance with the suggestion made
 by the Farmer, when the model was
 exhibited. Instead of couching be-
 hind couple of boulders, the figure
 is out in the open, kneeling upon a
 rock. A curious feature of the statue | is that the gun the man holds is
 pointed towards the sky, instead of | being aimed at the advancing British. | Mrs. Juliette Duff1e, of Battle
