ALI In Proof That Our Statues

"You all know the story Of the pub
lie school teacher whose class gave q
demonstration on the Fourth Of July,

page, and every good American able to
read all seven" (Applause.)
At this moment the cold voice Of
August said in my ear.
Madame, it is half past 4; had
orders to have you home not later than

reply the machine burst into fear

dazed to protest. Moreover, final adj
venture awaited me; for, as we swung
around the corner of Twenty-third
Street and Madison Avenue | cried to
August:

For there, standing upon the curb
all alone, and waiting for a chance to
cross the street, was my Monk, whom
l had made with my own hands SO
many years before. He had his illumi-
mated manuscript, which I had given
him, under his arm, and was still
dressed in the terra Gotta robe with
the stiff folds of which | had had so
much trouble. Behind him trotted his
little girl-angel, carrying her lutte. and
she laughed up at me just as she had

After reading the minutes and re-
porting the finances Of the society tho
secretary gave way to tho treasurer,
who tossed back his name, and, licking
his vast paw in q reflective manner,
said:
Ladies' and Gentlemen, To open
our meeting with a complaint is not,
perhaps, in the best form; neverthc-
loss, I have here q complaint from
the Morgan Lonesses. Thoy are dis
satisfied with their Job at the Morgan
Library and wish to be transferred to
the esplanads Of the Public Library
behind US, on the ground that they will
have here more chance for advance
ment.
"The city hoped, when II placed
thom with the Morgan interests, that
they would find it congenial and re-
fined work suitable for lady lions. Tho

moment now afforded to scan the as
sembly on the steps.
An amazing succession of groups let
my eye.
Diana and the Genius of Telegraph
"a handsome boy-hovered above the
throng like spirits; the red glare from
the Statue of Liberty's torch lit up the
tips Of their wings, and glanced across
the columns of the Library building
behind. Diana and the handsome youth
were very much absorbed in each other,
and seemed to be passing wireless
messages to and fro, accompanied by
very coy mods and smiles. Diana was
a most enchanting creature, ard
quite agreed with stone cutter near
me who said with feeling:
Gee, amt it shame for sweet
girl like that to be stuck up in the
air all by herself? Say-look at the
Bolshevik gettin' next to Mr.. Lincoln
bet they're askin' him to give 'em their
rights an tear down the governmint."
Mr.. Lincoln was engaged in earnest
conversation with two rough looking
men in leather aprons, whom I now
recognized as the bronze men who
strike the gong on the Herald building
Apparently he said something which
satisfied them, for they presently sat
down at his feet, and watched him
attentively throughout the rest Of the
evening, like two faithful dogs that
expect a reward later on.
"See those horrid men bothering Mr..
Lincoln with their vulgar labor
grievances" said rich and very gu
perior voice quite near me. I leaned
out Of the machine to see, and found
that two Of the statues Qate arrivals),
had paused beside the machine and
were. like myself, watching the crowd
upon the steps.
One Of them was tho Unknown Lady,
who stands upon the top Of the foun-
tain in front OF the Plaza; her cor7pan-
ion was no less a person than William
Shakespeare.

and applause.)
The next speaker was Mr. James A.
Stranahan, little old man who had
been standing nervously among the
lions, although his nervousness seemed
caused moro by an apprehension about
drafts than by the proximity Of his
fierce neighbors. He carried a heavy
overcoat on his arm; in the other hand
his tall top hat.

voice, which sounded like the rustling
OF leaves, without seeming to be
irreverent, may l venture to hope that

Of his discoveries devise some method

(Applause). And in the absence of
such device may | ask you to step a
little nearer" There was great surg
ing toward tho steps, occasioning a
great deal of activity among the police.
He continued peacefully:
From. the spirit world to the upper

friends-and having got 80 far, will

Commission on Parks did mo the honor
to make me president? When we gath
cred together to discuss the great
project Of laying out Prospect Park
found that our interests were at vari-
ance. They were absorbed in the prac-
tical details of laying out park. I,
on the other hand, was absorbed in the
romantic idea Of making the park so
interesting and unusual that New York
would come over TO look at it. In
short, was in tho position of the little
girl who went into a meat store and

exasperated butcher.

ferry to see.
ut was not my good fortune to sue
coed in this ambition, FOR tho Jewel of
Brooklyn was established, in spite of
my efforts, outside the park instead of
inside it. But, my friends, the jewel
is there, and l am glad to say is only
half mile out Of the park.

"They tell me, however, that al
though they appreciate the opportu-
nifty we have given them of associating
with high life, they feel that it leads
to nothing Moreover, they are lonely
and they complain bitterly that it is
their right as women to have children
to associate with. They say that we
are continually being climbed over by
children. They, on the contrary, never
see one.
"On the other hand, we fear that the
lionnsses are not sufficiently robust to
stand the wear and tear Of life in front
of the Public Library, and there also
arises the question Of what they do
and do not owe to the Morgan firm which
first employed them and to which they
owe their social position. We will take
a vote upon the question. Those in
favor of complying with the request Of
the lionesses please say Aye"
And every one said "Aye."
"Voted and passed." said the secre-
tary, and the lions and the lionesses
shook hands and bowed to each other
with the utmost cordiality
The next speaker on the programme
was Diana. She was so shy that she
had to be pushed forward by the
Genius Of Telegraphy, who lowered
near her in a chivalrous manner, as
though to protect her from the crowd.
When she began to speak every one
shouted Louder! Louder!" which near
ly frightened her off the steps, but
finally she spoke as follows:
Dear Friends want to thank you
all for feeding my pigeons at Madison
Square Garden. All through tho war
you have not forgotten them, even
whom you hadn't enough food your
selves. l am so grateful, and I have
been very happy on the tower, and
shall always think of it as my home,
but 1 would like very much, if you
don't mind, to have little holiday
You gee, in summer the Garden gets
pretty rough, and what with the circus
and the dog show and then all the
prizefghts It really isn't nice place
for lady, and II it's all the same to
you. I'd like to spend August on the
Woolworth Building"
A shout of laughter greeted this pro-
posal, for every ono knows that the
tower OF the Woolworth Building is
just face to face with tho tower Of the
Telephone and Telegraph Company. and
goodness only knows how full the air
would be Of wireless messages from
peak to peak.
Diana retired, blushing very much
and looking for protection to the
Genius Of Telography, who came down
to earth with bang, and, taking her
hand in his, stepped we'll forward into
tho light, with his ourls blowing in tho
breeze, and said in clear, manly
voice;
II want to say that I agree with
Diana that Madison Square in tho heat
Of summer Is no place Cor her, and
that because Of the sea winds that
sweep around tho Woolworth Build
