A New Statue of Jeanne dare.


Some five years ago, a group of New
Workers, keenly interested in the Maid
of Orleans. thought thai there should
be a statue of her in this country
writes Grace Humphrey in the St.
Nicholas, in the course of an article on
the new statue of Jeanne dare by
Anna Vaughn Hyatt, recently unveiled
on Riverside drive. New York. THE
idea once conceived 20 mon and wonl-
en- organized into u committee and be-
gan their work by studying very care
fully all matters relating to Jeanne
dare. They asked themselves not
What do we want? but What do we
not want?' In various towns and
churches all over France they examined
the Statues-and these are countless,
for every French artist does his
Jeanne.
THE suggestions made to the COM
mittee We're many and varied, and some
We're downright funny! There We're
people who insisted that the statue
must be done by an American. Others
said, No, no, a Frenchman! 1t takes
a Frenchman really to understand
Jeanne d'Arc!' Another group advised
that the sculptor be a woman, and Stlll
others emphatically urged the opposite.
Another idea advanced was that the
horse and figure be the work of two
different artists, each an expert in his
line.
The committee held an exhibition Of
the submitted designs after the decis-
ion had been made in favor of Miss
Anna Vaughn Hyatt. The photographs
of her work attracted more attention
than any others. The visitors and her
fellow artists were deeply impressed by
her design and returned to it again and
again.
Most artists who have painted or
modelled Jeanne dare have represented
f.er either as a more or less ungainly
peasant girl, or as a conventional an
gel. Miss Hyatt's statue shows the
face of a healthy young girl who has
heard something-has seen something
that the world will never know. The
spiritual quality is there, the human
sympathy, the appealing tenderness,
permeating the whole composition. IT
is the reflection of the soul in the body,
"As to the details of the statue, the
committee, primed by their years of
study, think they can tell the right
from the wrong and, as far as is pos
sible 500 years afterward, they con-
slider these correct"

THE END OF THE CASE.

To Sylvester, head of the identifi-
cation bureau, it seemed that the world
was tottering to it's fall, but the rest
of us, who had not really at the bottom
of u hearts, perhaps, believed in the
infallibility of the finger-print system.

tents of SilVa's secret cupboard. When
he had first come to the house. Miss
Waugh explained, he had been given

had them ~remodelled. installed. the cir
cular divan and crystal sphere, selected
the hangings, and at the same time, no
doubt, caused the secret cupboard to be
built.
It's contents were most interesting.
There was a box of aerial bombs, which
Godfrey turned over to Simmonds with
the injunction to go and amuse himself.
For Sylvester's contemplation and
further confusion were the gloves with
which sylvia had managed his parlour

apparatus with which the fnger-print
reproductions had been made-an APP

impressions of the prints had been
etched with acid. And. finally. there
We're various odds and end of a jug

perfumes, essences, and liquids whose
properties we could not guess.
Godfrey looked at the gloves care
fully, as though in search Of something.
and at last selected one of them with
a little exclamation of satisfaction.

"But what makes you think it is

Because Silva expected to use both
hands, till he learned that Swain had

have come from the victim, and Silva
would nave worn this glove, too; but

half to himself.
Goldberger and Simmonds went on
into the inner room to arrange for the
disposition Of the body OF Mahbub;
l turned back together, for we did not
wish to see the thug. At her boudoir
door Godfrey paused.
THE case is clear" he said, from
first to last, provided you can supply
us with a final detail, Miss Vaughan
What is that?" she asked.

President Wilson and Conservation
From the Chicago Post.

FUN tilc SIlltdSO J. Ool.
President Wilson apparently looks with
d~isfavor on the Shields Waterpower bill
which recently was passed by the Senate.
He has pointed out to the members OF the
House the weaknesses in the measure as
they appear to him, and presumably has
asked that corrections be made when the
bill comes up for consideration and that
ample provisions be made to safeguard
the interests Of the people.
Last year the House of Representatives
passed a water power bin which in nearly
would have nothing to do with it, because
1t limited the control which private cor
porations could exercise over public prop
erty. This year the Senate passed the
Shields bill, which conservationists say
truly gives away valuable natural re-
sources without proper Compensation to
the rightful guardians. the people"
The House on interstate and
foreign commerce now has before it the
Adamson water power bill, which IS a
counterpart Of the Shields bin. The COM
within a few days. There will be a min
ority report, but it is questionable whether
the House as a whole will override the
committee majority and adopt the sane
proposition put forward by the minority.
President Wilson has Seen looked upon
as a supporter Of the conservation move
nlent. In most things he has succeeded
III bending congress to his will. 1t is pro
posed by a democratic majority In con-
gress to give away a considerable part OF
the inheritance Of the American people.
The government, which is the people, is
supposed to have control over navieable
streams. The water power that is devel-
oped on these streams should belong IL
part to the developers and in part to the
owners of the power.
Congress wants to give everything to the
developers. although it has tried to hide
the iniquitous feet by certain propositions
which look well on their face, but which
when analysed mean nothing. If Presi-
dent Wilson can not secure from congress
a recognition of the property rights OF
American citizens. he should veto a bill
which gives monopoly the right to exploit
the natural capital of the people without
just COMPENSATION.
