Unveiling Statves in Washington

*• i ■ ■ v~' f’ UR national governnent will, ere many „ months have elapsed, l have to conduct the un- ' veiling or formal dedication of several important new statues. The ?monuments in question ' are statues to national heroes, for which the congress of the United States made provision by appropriating years ago the needed as a purchase price and f which have since been in the making Kin the studios of eminent sculptors. jjOne statue that was recently added fto bur national collection at our capital city is; the memorial to Baron /Steuben, the German officer who

helped this nation to independence during the Revolution. An even more important statue is the splendid one to Gen. U. S. Grant, which will cost, when completed, about a quarter of a million dollars. «Then there will be new statues to such naval heroes as Commodore Barry and John Paul Jones and a statue to Christopher Columbus as a part of a mammoth memorial fountain. Time was, and not so very long ago, either, when ,the prospect of having to conduct this series of statue unveilings would have put on the keen edge of uneasiness those public officials whose duty it is to look after such functions. Our federal authorities have long been accustomed to conducting formal ceremonies of all kinds —state or military funerals, parades, etc. —but for years a statue unveiling had the reputation of being about the most difficult spectacle to conduct that could be devised. For one thing, it combined all the difficulties of a parade and a mass meeting. The president of the United States almost invariably participates in every unveiling, and that means problems of its own. And' finally, it seemed in the light of bitter Experience as though there was always some mishap Or slipup that marred more or less the actual unveiling, that is, the removal of the coverings which have until the event* ful day shrouded the statue and screened it from the gaze of a curious public. But these uncertainties of bygone

Do Animals Reason?

SF ANIMALS don’t reason out the whys and wherefores of things and act accordingly," said Col. Hamp Stone of the Big Thicket country, Texas, “what was that big buck that I didn’t shoot doing that time down Dev Lt’s mountain way? “They had put the dogs out, and I was to get to a bull pine tree on the east bank of the river, at a place where they said the dogs would be apt to send a deer into and across the stream, giving me a fine chance for a successful shot.' Before I got there I heard the dogs baying off on the west side of the river, which was about 300 yards wide there. "I was still quite a way from the tree when a doe came in sight on the opposite shore, jumped into the river, swam across and bounded away into the woods away from me. The dogs were still yelping off in the woods across the river, and not yet in sight I made a few big strides and got to the tree, as I didn’t*know what might be ahead of the dogs yet, just as out of the opening where the doe had leaped and taken the water bounded a big buck. “I dropped behind the tree, expecting the buck to come on across. The doe had run out on a tongue of land that extended into the river about 20 feet, and from th? extremity of thst bit at land had jumped into the water. Supposing, of course, that the buck would seek the same course, I was ready to let hirri have it as soon as he pulled himself out on my side of the river, but be had other ideas. “The dogs hadn’t broken from cover fat I could hear them coming net far behind the buck. Two or three rods from the shore, on that side of the river and the same distance below the' tongife of land, was a big rock that rose perhaps eight feet above the water. 1F,;;,,*, " “Instead of coming on as the doe

days are now, happily, a thing of the past. Government officials, spurred by the, chagrin of unsuccessful unveilings, have perfected a system which enables the present-day unveiling to proceed like clockwork. There has finally been, evolved a definite fixed routine just as there is a set of hard and fast rules for inaugurating a president or conducting a military or naval funeral and the federal experts who make a business of these public shows could almost conduct one with their eyes shut, so to speak. Much of the credit for the system and routine that has been. introduced in statue unveiling belongs to Col. Frederick D. Owen. On the federal payroll Col. Owen appears as one of the official? of the office of public buildingß and grounds, but unofficially he is known—at least “behind the scenes” at Washington—as Uncle Sam’s professional and expert master of ceremonies with statue unvellings as his specialty. Col. Owen has this whole complicated subject at his finger tips and he personally supervises the arrangements from the day they begin to buila the foundation for a new statue until,,the lawn around the pedestal is sodded after the spectacle is all over. HO knows just how .many flags willhe required for the decorations and where to lay hands upon them; he knows where the saluting battery must be stationed in order that the boom of their guns may sound loud enough and yet not too loud; he knows where to place the president’s

had, the buck took his leap from where the bar Joined the mainland, dropped quickly down alongside the rock, hugging it close with bis head up stream. There he remained motionless entirely hidden from anything on the side from which he had come. “The buck had scarcely got into that position when the dogs came dashing out of the woods. They .followed the doe’s trail to the tip of the bar, plunged into the water and swam toward the opening on my side of the river where the doe had landed and bounded away. “The buck lay against the side of the rock as motionless as the rock itself until the dogs got well into the middle of the river with their noses pointed in the direction in which the doe had gone. Then he baoked down to the lower end of the rock and passed around it to the other side of it, thus hiding himself against possible chance of being seen by the dogs when they landed on the opposite bank. “The dogs landed and went baying off on the doe’s track. As the last sound of the dogs died away the buck’s bead came slowly in sight at the upper end of the rock, until at last the wary deer was peering across the river to see if the coast was clear. Satisfied that it was, the buck swam boldly back to the bar, drew himself out on land, threw up his head scornfully as he ,gave one glance in the direction the dogs had gone and then bounded back into the woods out of which he had been driven to save himself by that remarkable bit of strategy and disappeared. “I could have dropped him in his tracks as he stood there in his scornful pose, but after witnessing that act of almost human Ingenuity. I hadn't the heart to do It. Animals don't reason out the whys and wherefores of things and act accordingly? What was that buck doing then?

own—the U. S. Marine Band and the chorus of vocalists if there is to be one. Most important of all, he knows where to seat each and every one of the hundred? of digtinaries who at-, tend such a ceremonial. It will be understood that it is not merely a question either of seating celebrities so that they will be comfortable and have an unobstructed view of the ceremonies. In addition to such considerations are the more important ones of the rank of each spectator and the honors and position to which he is entitled in consequence. The man who conducts a big unveiling ceremony in Washington must know “who is who” and “who goes first” just as accurately as the men who manage the president’s receptions at the White House. After all, however, perhaps the most important improvement that has been brought about under this new era of statue unveilings is found in the method adopted for the actual unveiling. Under the old plan, as has been noted, the draperies were almost sure to catch or tangle. Then there was a tugging followed by the rasping tear of cloth and the statue’s erstwhile clothing was dragged away- in decidedly dilapidated condition. Under the new system the statue to be unveiled is completely covered from head to foot with large American flags and these are so arranged with ropes and pulleys that when a signal is given they fall away from the sculptured figure, and, better yet, instead of littering the pedestal, are drawn above and away from the statue. This scheme enables persons on all sides of the statue to get a good view of the new monument and furthermore, a pretty touch is added to the picture by the uplifted flags waving in' the breeze from overhead ropes spanning the space above the stdtue. Of course this system of flag unveiling Is not an easy one to arrange and a special crew of expert “riggers” made up of enlisted seamen in the navy is detailed to arrange and manipulate the network of ropes that control the flags. The government is beginning to get applications from all parts of the country, whenever a statue is to be unveiled, to loan its master of ceremonies and his crew of “riggers” to handle the practical part of the event.

“Yes, we got the doe. One <sf our party brought her down two miles up the river as she was taking the water to cross back again, still way ahead of the dogs."

Graft In Selling Eggs.

To qne who can afford them, good eggs are cheap at any price, but Investigation shows that much of the extra money that the consumer pays to avoid the risk of getting a bad egg for this breakfast is simply the dea* er’s charge upon the consumer’s Ignorance. While investigating the subject for the department of agriculture it was learned that a r-ocer in New York city was buying lowa eggs for 20 cents and selling them under bis private brand name for 40 cents. The grocers across the street were selling the same eggs for 25 cents. The extra lfi cents was pure graft, made possible by the merchant’s gall and me customer’s gullibility.

PUTNAM FADELESS DYES

TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS

Moral That Writer Has Drawn Not Without Some Points of Worthiness.

Miss Venus Is a lovely gilt} not one time has she. muttered; against her pple, Illumined life not one word has she uttered. Just think, she’s been her arms for many dusty ages, and yet she never drops the brine or rants in hopeless rages. She has to stand a bunch of guff from art bugs down to draymen, and yet she never once comes back and grills the heathen layman. When some lowbrow of brutal mien starts merrily to panning and says her face is worse than wood and that her hair needs canning or that he has a waitress friend who jerks a coffee jigger could give her many, many leagues and beat her out on Agger, she never even looks at him, that rank untutored sinner, but holds her tongue and pedestal; O, Venus Is a winner. She’s on the Job both day and night, she hears man knock or flatter and women not of classic mold get madder than a hatter. She suffers long and quietly with calm and placid manner; in cold no mits to reach a quilt, in heat, no hands to fan her. She is a lesson in herself —a fruit for daily picking. Just spare the world your trouble tales and scratch the useless kicking.—G. S., in Chicago Tribune.

Needed Assistance.

’A poor old cast-down hobo started to knock the paint off of a back door the other morning, and when he tear-, fully told the lady who appeared that ,he had a sick wife at home and a dozen, hungry kids, she gave him a couple of home-made biscuits. Daintily the hobo handled them, and once more he glanced up wistfully. “What’s the matter,” indignantly demanded the housewife, "aren’t you satisfied with the biscuits?” “Yes, dear lady,” replied the trampful one, “but I thought perhaps you would be so kind as to loan me a putcracker for a few minutes.”
