Monumental "Toppers." Though there Is a revival of the silk hnt. which many people thought the war had made extinct as a species of headdress, few would argue that It makes a fit subject for the sculptor. Yet there are several top-hatted statues about. One at least Is In the United States. It Is a statue of Presi dent Lincoln. Hp Is bareheaded, but his "topper," a very unfashionable specimen, Is carefully laid on the seat at his side. Hut perhaps the funniest specimen Is In the Central square at Glasgow, Scotland. It represents a re spected citizen, James Oswald, mem ber of parliament, and lie carries his "topper" In his right hand, held firm ly by the brim and upside down. The street urchins find this "topper" Irre sistible. If the policeman Is round Uie corner they play pitching pebbles Into Mr. Oswald's hat. Some of them are expert at tho game and the hat has to be emptied of stones quite frequently.

Hut that Is not the whole story. Out of the 8,000, KOO survived! Including many wounded. The rest, 7,700, were killed. A thousand of them held up a German advance one day at Verdun; held It up until the last man of them was killed. About 50 years ago tho story of Wil liam Tell and the poem about Arnold von Wlnkelrled were In most of tho school readers that young Americans cut their eye teeth on. The 8.000 Swiss who fought In tho wnr well established the right of that otory and that poem to remain In American school readers.

"Now," said the surgeon, "look right over there in that corner, and maybe maybe there, It's all over, and you never knew what hurt yoii. My, but you are n brave girl." At that moment the chubby little girl sitting atop the operating table did not look very brave. Surprise was In her eyes and two great tears ready to roll down upon the marble slab, for the woman doctor, realizing that more than half the pain of the small operation which Is the rule In the dally clinic nt Mercy hospital, Is due to the dread of It. had stolen a march on little Marie, and the opera tion was over before Marie knew It bad begun. "Yes," continued the kindly doctor, ns she hid the shining blade behind her, "you are a mighty brave little girl. You aren't going to cry." Mario blinked the tears back and straightened up her small body. "'Course not," she said. "I'se four years old." And her big eyes gazed proudly Into those of the surgeon. "Here," said the doctor as she turned the small girl over to the nurse for out patients, "is the future mother of heroes American heroes." Kan sas City Star. Lost His Place.

At first eight one would think tho beetle nn nctual piece of gold, until It moves. Tho head and wing cases are brilliant ly polished with a luster like pure gold. It Is very strange, too, that sil ver beetles exist In the same country. About twenty-five years ago the fin est collection of gold nnd silver beetle;? was owned by the lion. Walter Rothschild. They then had a market value ranging from $25 to $7B each. While on the subject of beetles, It Is perhaps Interesting to recall that In the days gone by a "beetle crusher" was a prosperous occupation. Men used to sign contracts to go from house to houm) killing beetles, but It Is not recorded that they ever enme Across any gold or silver ones. Some Ordeal. "What's tho matter?

BETTER THAN GOOt) By RALPH HAMILTON (Copyright, 1D20, Wtern Newspaper Onion) She would not forget him to her dying dayl She said It fervently to herself and believed It. For only a fleeting moment had his eyes flashed down Into her own, had his arm en circled her, but, though the peril of death mennced, Arllne Drury treas ured Its memory rnptly. Her home was an old cabin at the lower edge of a high cliff. She had wandered along Its apex gathering wild flowers, when her foot slipped. Over the edge of the ynwnlng preci pice she went, her body dangling In space, her descent only checked by hnnds clutching nt exposed tree roots. As she sought to find a foothold against u projecting rock, It loosened. She heard It land fnr below with n crash. Her heart sickened. Then nt the chug chug! of nn automobile she ut tered a frantic, despairing cry: "Help I" Fifty feet nway the driver of nn automobile' holding three young men llko himself checked the machine with n shock, traced the cry, caught sight of the white, clinging hands, Hung himself lint, reached over and dragged the Imperiled girl to safety. lie supported her, half fainting, In his nrms, his senses thrilled as that lovely face was lifted to his own. Ho relensed her gently. Her beautiful eyes were swimming with tears of gratitude. "Oh! how can J ever' thank you!" she began, but he smiled reassuringly. "Can I help you further?" he. asked. "My home Is near at band," she murmured. He lifted his cap courte ously, regained the automobile. Chu chu! Ho was gone out of her life as swiftly ns ho entered It. "Your aunt Is 111 ngaln, Arllne," said tho father, "and the folks sent n messenger over early this morning to have you come and spend n few days." It was the third day after that when the same young man who bad come to her rescue reappeared In the vicinity. Walter Noble made Inquiries concern ing the girl he hnd so tragically met, nnd learned her name and the location of her home. He appeared ns an ama teur photographer making some pic tures of the surrounding mining dis trict, and sqeklng board and lodging for a week or two. "My only helper Is my daughter," explained Mr. Drury, "but If you are willing to bunk In rough and ready and tnko pot luck, why, you might mako do." This arrangement suited Noble to perfection. The second night of the stay of his guest Mr. Drury took him Into his observatory nnd pointed to a large boulder lying on his table. "I want to tell you something nbout n great discovery I have probably made," be spoke. "Tho other night, while strolling near here, I observed an unusually brilliant meteor flash acros the sky. It seemed to fall some where near the bouse here. The next morning I chanced td go up Into the attic and there was a hole In the roof, nnd lying upon tho lloor was this boulder. I have made a study of meteoric phenomena. Inspecting this mass In my crude way, I find that It bears fossil residuum, proving that In whatever planet It came from the same organic life as our own has ex isted. I have little money, but If you would tuke a specimen of the rock to a city analyst and get me u report on Its constituents, I would try and scrape up enough to pay for his la bor." Nohje was glad to get Into favor with the father of Arllne. He started forthwith for the city with tho pre cious specimen. It wus five days later that ho returned to Brownvllle. As he neared tho clllf his pulses quickened magically. Seated at the self same spot where he had last seen her, was the fair being, whose loveliness had attracted him hither. She arose with a conscious blush as he approached her. She swuyed un steadily under the Influence of his magnetic glance. "You you are the gentleman who has undertaken a kindly mission for father?" she faltered confusedly. "1 fear I am bringing bnck disap pointing news," replied Noble. "I In fer you are awnre of your father's hope that tho boulder Is meteoric. The analyst told mo it was not. But he has sent an analysis," and Noble In dicated a sealed envelope In his pock et. "Why! the light suddenly dawns upon me!" exclaimed Noblo In an ani mated tone. "The meteor stono must be n fragment of the rock you loosen ed that that day I first met you," and the spankers' face was rapt and glow lug. "It fell upon tho roof below." "Tho day you saved my life, which I shall never forget," said Arllne In a low, earnest tone, nnd then, sldo by side, each realizing that mutually they shared the same emotion, they went to tho home below the cliff. A shade of disappointment crossed the face of Mr. Drury ns he read that his wonderful meteor was only com mon earth clay. Then his eyes brlghted. "An annlysls of the specimen," he observed. "Rich In gold and coincident ly nn outcropping of a grent vein of metnl. Why I If that Is so, and I could acquire the means of expanding my scientific studies, what might 1 not ac complish?" It was so and riches came, but to Walter Noblo the lore of tho gentle creature he had saved was the treas ure ho most fervently cherished. MANY FELLOWS LIKE BROWN And If More of Them Got the Shock He Did It Might Do Them a Lot of Good. Brown wns mcrrymnklng nt the club numbers' reception, when he spied his former friend Summers, coining up the clubhouse steps. He reached nervously for his hnt nnd cane. "Not going so soon, Brown?" ejnen latcd another member, In surprise. "You've only Just arrived; besides lunch Is ready!" "I must go," announced Brown, keep ing nn eye on the door. "I've Just thought of a pressing business engage ment uptown I must keep." "Pshaw 1 The fun hr.s only started," deplored the other member."And here comes Summers!" ' "To tell the truth," whispered Brown, his nervousness Increasing, "I don't fancy Summers. But that's a mntlcr between Summers and me. I must go." "Hello! Why, I thought you and he were the best of friends." "We were formerly; but Summers Isn't the same Summers to me now, and really I do not wish to meet him. I didn't want to come right out with It; that's why I gave the other ex cuse." Summers now wns shaking hands with one of the committee, nnd the dis comfited Brown maneuvered toward the door. "Summers played n mean game on me recently," he added, as his In terested club fellow moved along with him, "and I can't forget It. In fact, It makes me nverse to being In the same room with him. Until he has made ample apology for his Ingrati tude Summers nnd I nre strangers. Perhaps now you understand. Good by I" But here the Interloper, Summers, grasped Brown by the collar before he could escape by the street door. "You slippery whelp!" exclaimed the nngvy Summers, jerking his late pal around. "I've been looking for you n week now. Come across with that hurd-luck money -you borrowc"' '" Life. v The Y. W. (!. A. Tho Y. W. C. A. Is an International force nmong girls and women.
