This Photograph Very Well Represents How the
Venus de Milo Would Look with Her Arms
Restored and in Modern Costume

Venus in the Louvre.
Ah, that Venus is in stone. We can
imagine her arms as they might be in
life. But what about living woman?
] could not act without arms, could I?
Would man marry woman without
hands? Between legs and arms in a
living woman | think the loss Of the
arms would be the more detrimental"
IL suppose broken nose would hardly
be compensated for by 100000. II
Cleopatra's nose had been broken or in
jured. or If it had been knocked out OF
shape, would Antony have fled from

"The value Of a beautiful woman's
lips?" Miss Bcvcridge continued. "Iips

manifestation of love-the kiss. A

poets than any feature OF the body. Dam.

points OF beauty. A broken nose might
as | have said, be estimated at 100000.
But for injury to my lips or the loss OF
my teeth l would not take a million
dollars.
NO toothless woman, however lovely
her skin, cleaning her eyes, and perfect
her outline, could ever be happy. The
consciousness Of beauty, of excellent
physical condition, is the light from
within that Eliminates beautiful wom-
an, CLEANS from her eyes. smiles from
her lips, irradiates from her countenance.
The mental consciousness Of perfection
distinguishes such a woman from others.
The light that shines from woman's
eyes comes from a glowing conscious e1-
istence IN being adorable. That light
could not shine effulgently from the eyes
of a woman, however fair, who realized
she had imperfect lips or false teeth"
Then q woman's beauty must be

consciousness Of il. The value o! the lips
exists. therefore, not only in their form
ation, curve and color, but in the ro-
nance they may inspire. Helen Of Troy

beauty must be Appropriated not by in
trinsc beauty. but by The admiration it
inspired, the love aroused in Paris, and
the power it exercised over the men who
fought. With damaged lips or false teeth
a woman, says Miss Beveridgc, would
cease TO be q perfect woman-a living

But what Of the heart? What is the
value of perfect woman's heart? IL
bruises TO her body are worth $4,000, at
what figure would Miss Bcveridge csti-
mate damages 10 her emotions?

We'll, let us say it was a very. very

serious ioss-hands or feet? Arms or

The actress shrugged her shoulders.
Small boys usually don't like long

the hair shaved. because it looks boyish,
rather than look sssylike. Hair has no

he says the correspondent is known on that

BIG LIST OF
INDICTMENTS
Deputy U. S. Marshal Apple

Fer Trial at Superior, WIS.,, All Indians
Except One White Man.

This week Deputy u. S. Marshal Apple
by was in the village for several days rodnd-
ing up Indians for the annual slaughter at
the federal court at Superior, Wis. The
Marshall had warrants for So different people
and we understand securen 81 Of that num-
Der. Thi, represents the number indicted
at the recently held grand jury for the
introduction of liquor on the reservation.
Of this number one or two were white
men and the res, Indians. This is the
largest number Of warrants served here for
some time past.
1t is more than probable that many Of
these Indians will be given sentence of
one year at Levanworth and always so to
go days in some county jail and 500 fine,
which they serve. The Indian Agent P.
S. Everest. we understand was present at the
triialof the Indians at Superior. Wis. Marshal
Appleby had Chief of Police Geo. Mitchell
accompany him to Superior with the
prisoners.

THlRTY-TWO Indians taken to
Superior, Wis. this week on warrants for
the introducing Of whiskey on the reserva-
tion. We have pondered over question OF
legality of so, doing, and is the Indian De-
partment sincere in wanting the Indian to
stop drinking whiskey' Just stop and
figure for moment. Suppose the Indian
did quit, what theu' 1t would mean that
many now sinecure goverenent positions
would be made vacant, that are now being
occupied for the purpose of prosecuting the
Indian, for does Re mot receive Jail sentences
while the saloon men pay a fine and are let

in their statements that they must protect
the Indian from the curse of whiskey, then
let them enforce the treaty laws and forever
abolish the whiskey from restricted territory
and by so doing put it beyond the reach of
all otherwise nothing can be accomplished
along this line.

they disposed of them.
Last spring these enterprising voting men
under the recommendations of the Indian
Agent P. S. Everest purchssed these cattle
from the St. Paul stock yards tor the pur-
pose of grazing for fa,tening purpose.
For sometime previous to the purchase OF
this herd it was sup't Eyere't's idea to
have some Indian purchase cattle for this
purpose as an experiment.. With these two
herds it was tried out and proved big sue
cess the herd of Steve James on a moderate
pasture, increased over $500 pounds while
the herd of Mr.. Smart's increased neatly
$4,000 pounds, which shows good gain
for the purchaser. 1t is now an assured
fact that next season will see many of our
citizens grazing cattle for market. The
success of the venture this summer has done
much in stimulating interest in this business.
Agent Everest accompanied the young men
to St, Paul, MINI.
The herd of Mr.. Smart's last spring were
