An Earnest Cry for Help

Our town. mean the one where !

larger place. One of our local .nstitu-
tons 20 years ago was black driver
named Abe. but called Old Abe for
short Abe was popular with both
races, good-natured. loud-mouthed and
friendly. He had one sOcia, shOrtcem-
ing, though. About once in SO often he
would slip out on dark night and ac-
quire something of value without the
formality Of speaking to the owner
about it. For awhile he escaped a
penitentiary sentence.
But eventually he was caught with
what the grand jury and the prosecut-
ing attorney regarded as the goods. the
said goods consisting Of stray calf.
He was lodged in the Blue Eagle jail
to await trial. His cell was in the
upper tier On the Sunday afternoon
following his Incarceration his wife
accompanied by five or six of Abe's
pickaninnies, came to pay him visit
It was the first time she had seen him
since his arrest.
On her way out she was halted by
the deputy jailer. whose name was
Grady.
Dora" he said, have you hired a
lawyer for Abe yet?"
Nav, subj" she said, "effen Abe was
guilty, right away I'd git him lawyer.
But he p'intedly tells me he amt de
leas' bit guilty. So. of co'se. dat bein'
de case. he amt needin' no lawyer to
git him clear"
From the floor above, down the iron
stairwell. came floating the voice of
Abe:
"Mr. Grady, oh. Mr.. Grady you tell
at fool niger oman down thar to gil
lawyer-an' git On good one.

Calculation of Size
of Statue of Apollo

The famous problem concerning the
size of the colossal statue of Apollo on
the island of Delos, which has wor-
ried so many savants, has finally been
solved.
We are familiar with the Delos
Apollo only in miniature, as represent
ed on the Attic tetradrachm, an an
Gent Greek coin, where the god is
shown holding the three Graces in his
right hand.
At recent meeting of the academy
Of inscriptions Theodore Reinach an
nounced that he had calculated, with
the aid of history as we'll as mathe-
mates, the size Of Apollo and the
three Graces. This archaic colossus at
Delos was the masterpiece, in gilded
wood, of the sculptors Tectaois and
Angelion who flourished between $50
and $50 B. C.
The three Graces, which were not
grouped, but separated and erect, bore,
respectively, the zyther, the double
flute and the pipes of Pan. They stood
in the palm of Apollo's right hand. In
his left hand he carried a bow. The
colossus and its three statues were
destroyed by fire.
With the assistance of a Delian in
scription which mentioned the weight
Of the gold crowns designed for the
god and the Graces, NJ Reinach esti-
mated the relative heights of the fig
ures as eight meters for the Apollo
and one meter eighty centimeters for
each Of the Graces.-From lie Figaro
Hebdomadaire, Paris. Translated for
the Kansas City Star.
