I've got a brother that don't know
a thing about them fairies. He won't
stand for none O. this lady friend bust
ness. When one of 'em gives him the
saucy eye an begins to pick things on
o his coat he up an barks at her an
scares her to death.
There's none OF 'em can cut saucy
capers with that boy. He has his way
or the lights go out--thet's all there Is
to H. When he cops out n shlrtwaist
and puts II on a trolley car and says.
Now you're with me an not me with
YOU. Start nothin' and II any argu-
ment comes up you out OF the way!'
/ That's right too: make 'em know their
place.
An don't let EN- kid you. II one OF
'em gets to thinkin' she's a kidder that
swells her all out o. shape an II takes
many a Jolt to make her behave.
II was up at a dance one night an I
met tall party that thought she was
old stringer No. l. She had lot o
mouldy ones left over from last years
ten-twent-thirt' an she kept shoot
in 'em in there an gettin puffed up
till her cloze didn't 1T her. II there
anything makes me sore it's to have

"Oh, well, don't know remarked
the lush. 1T isn't a very proper thing
to do-to slug a perfect lady. I'd

to anything she said. You see. after

ITS too bad that our friend did not

left his wife," said Doc. with a half
restrained smile. you know how to

We'll. I've never been married. but
I've always known one thing" said
the dentist. "A man has got to assert
his independence in his own house.
II he let's his wife think she can order
him around and treat him like a
schoolboy he might as we'll give up
al hope Of having any liberty OF his

ought to Civ her to understand that
he can come and go once in a while
without asking her permission"
That's right" said the lush "Tf
this book agent friend Of ours had
gone out and got drunk the night he
married the old girl and them come
home and chased her around the
house with a Ratchet she'd have had
some respect for him.
~ knew a man once who chased his
wife with a Ratchet at least once a
month. He loved her all right, and
wouldn't have harmed her for any
thing In the world but ne claimed
that ne had to make tnls hatchet
demonstration at least once n month
in order to maintain his rights.
After every outbreak she'd be
pleasant and attentive for several
weeks. Then her respect for his
rights would begin TO weaken, and
he would have to get out his Ratchet
again"
In concluding ne w1nked at the
dentist.
Seriously speaking. don't believe
a woman has much regard for a man
who allows himself to be tied to her
apron strings said the dentist.

freckled boy, with an indifferent ges-
ture to show that he was an expert.

ing from their calling or by the in
flrmities of old age.
Tho statue represents Florence
Nightingale as "The Lady Of the
Lamp: that is to say. as she used to
appear when visiting the hospital
wards at Scutari during the Crimean
war at night time with n small OIL
lamp to tighten her way. II occupies
q site on Waterloo place. close to the
Crlmean Memorial. which II fianked
on the other side by the statue OF Sid
ney Herbert, who as Secretary OF STATE
for War despatched her on her now
historic mission to Scutari and TO the
Crimea. Sidney Herbert afterward be-
came Lord Herbert of Lea and Is the
grandfather Of the present Earl Of
Pembroke and father OF the late Sir
Michael Herbert. who died as Ambas-
sador to the United States.
1t is strange that statues Of women
are so rare, as compared with the en-
travagant number of marble and
bronze effigies representing members
OF the sterner and less attractive sex.
Statues Of men abound in such num-
bers on both sides OF the Atlantic. and
especially in Europe. as to have de-
veloped into a positive nuisance. and
memorials Of this nature are set up to
all sorts Of worthless individuals and
Insignificant medioCrities who should
be forgotten instead Of being thus
commemorated. 1t Is fortunate under
the circumstances thai many Of their
statues are made m sucn a fashion az
TO admit Of the heads being removed
and those of others grated in their
place. Indeed, In France. statue graft
ing has become quite an Acknowledged
Industry.
Among the causes for the amazing
disparity between the numbers Of
statues Of men and of women, one Of
the principal Is undoubtedly the con-
sideratlon Of dress. Feminine attire in
all ages, even In that OF the Garden Of
Eden. has run to extremes and to ex.
aggeration. and while this may
be rendered temporarily tolerable
through fashion yet details that are
regarded as wholly modish to one
generation appear preposterous and
altogether ridiculous to those that fol-
low.
Contemporary paintings and en-
cravings convey TO those of us who
are too young to recall the era OF the
third Napoleon the fantastic diameter
of the style of crinolnes which were
tnaugurated by Empress Eugene, and
which from an artistic point Of view

Florence Nightingale the Only Mem.
Der of Her Sex Not of Sovereign
Rank to Be So Remembered

pardonable Of tho many evils for
which she Ia held responsible. 1t IL
impossible to conceive any sculptor OF
note giving his name as creator of the
statue of a woman thus arrayed. 1t
would convey the idea OF a species Of
nightmare in marble or In bronze, and
although there are some great feini-
nine figures In the history Of the mid
die OF the nineteenth century, when
the crino!ine enjoyed it's apotheosis,
yet not one of them has been COM
memorated in stone, at any rate in
that attire.
True. I can recall a statue Of Queen
Victoria and Of her husband the late
Prince Consort dating from tho early
sos. But both OF them are repre-
sented in medieval costumes. she in q
sort Of flowing robe suggesting the
reign Of Edward III. and he in the
tunic reaching to the knees that We
are accustomed to find In the portraits
Of Robin Hood. The other statues of
Queen Nictoria-there are not many
Of them. perhaps a dozen scattered in
various portions Of that vast empire
upon which the sun never sets--show
her in her widowhood and old age,
when the crinoline had disappeared,
1t Is to he hoped forever. and the art
lists took advantage OF her notorious
indifference to fashion as regards her
own attire to idealize her garb while
preserving the facial resean blance.

beginning OF the nineteenth century.

he portrayed her In the role and in
the garb Of Venus. and 1t is a matter
OF historical. record that when she
was asked whether she had not felt
somewhat uncomfortable about posing
to the artist IN so extremely scanty
an attire she replied. oh, dear, no!
You know there was fire in the
room"
The classic draperies OF ancient
Rome and Of Athens. or an entire alb
sence Of drapery. lend themselves to
the portrayal OF the feminine figure
in the marble or bronze. But. a.
