section, therefore, is the most conspicuous. The center is raised, and on this
elevated base is the large table. on which the inscription is to be placed.
Around this base. at each Of the four corners is a crouchng lion, under whose
body is stretched a flag, which, by the American eagle forming the head and
by the fact that it is a monument to an American hero, might be taken to be
the American standard.
The fact that the lions are copies of the British lions IN the Trafalgar
square monument in England and the sight of the flag stretched under their
bodies has caused many tourists and other observers to wonder Just what
the motif of the group is intended to express.
To an artist perhaps the proud attitude of the crouchng figures might
convey a air of heroic protection, but to the ordinary mind this same proud
appearance might mean naughty possession, and it is this latter impression,
probably, which has caused the inquiries to be raised.

brigade is getting practice in the use of firearms. Ever so often in the
week, usually after the departments are closed for the day, the colonel gets
his mhstant to turn in a fire alarm in some remote corner of the building.
Thereupon thirtyodd watchmen in brass buttons and blue coats go tearing
through corridors and bounding up stairways carrying fire extingushers.
These hand grenades are aimed at the imaginary fire by that section of the
brigade which, for purposes Of military training, may be regarded as the
machinegun platoon, while those assigned to the heavier artillery handle the
heavy hose lines.
Monday afternoon, however, is the time when the colonel takes greatest
pride In his brigade. Promptly at $3.50 o'clock, the members Of the brigade
line up on the lot back Of the state. war, and navy building, and are inspected.
The colonel with his assistant acting al adjutant walks slowly along the
line in front of the men, and then along the line ain back Of the men, inspecting
the hang Of their clothes and the erectness of their carriage.
