Miss Liberty Getting Ragged.

MISS Liberty Getting Ragged.
The statue of Liberty. IN New York
harbOr. Is getting old. An army en-
gineer recently made a close examina-
ton OF the statue-the engineers look
1t over once a year--and found that
there were just about fifty small holes
In the bronze plates Of which the
statue Is built. These holes come
usually in the folds and are In spots
where the plates always were a bit
thinner than the general run of the
statue. They also appear seemingly
on the more exposed sides. There Is
no immediate danger for the goddess,
however. Her chief caretaker. Lieu
tenant Jones. says that she Is good for
100 years yet and maybe longer just
as she is. Lieutenant Jones does not
see why it is not possible to replace
from time to time some of the plates
which have become more badly disin-
tegrated than others. The stout steel
framework is still as solid as could
be wished Lieutenant Jones. how
ever. found that the small holes ia
the thin plates were growing more nu-
merOus as time went on and reported

was sent over from Governors island.
The statue of Liberty was unveiled
in 1886.

well. a few months later Brown
was on his rounds again when he
ran down and crippled an old gentle

There is decided trend in the
Republican party in favor Of
nominating ex-President Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Everywhere Re-
publicans are beginning to con-
cede that with Taft the nominee
the party will meet with defeat
at the polls next fall. If the Taft
administra ton is repudiated the
Republican party will be confront
ed with the same condition in the
nation that they were confronted
with in Kentucky this fall. Is not
the result likely to prove the
same.

Alaskans in this neck Of the woods are free from many Of the hardships. which are met with In the states.
