eeive $10,000 for his work. Mak
ing a reasonable estimate of t' e
cost of making the Btatue it repre.
sents at least $50,000, aside from
its value as a work of art.
In brief, the statue is that of a
woman after the severely Greek
style of sculpture. She wears a
single garment which loaves arms,
neck and upper bust bare,and falls
just below the knee. A girdle
about the waist loosely confines the
drapery. On her head is a diadem
In her left hand, which is raised
alxjve her head,she holds the scales,
in which gold and silver balance
each other, thus symbolizing Mon
tana's stand on the silver question
In her right hand, which falls at
her side, is a drawn sword. Sho
stands on a globe two feet in di
ameter, which is supposed to bo
floating in the clouds.
Hut it is not because of its s ze
or because of its value in dollars
and cents, or even liecause of its
artistic merit, that this statue in
tho Montana building will attract
such attention, ft is because of
two other reasons.
It is tho figure of tho perfect wo'
n a i from tlio physical standpoint.
It is the figure of a woman known

During tho prevalence of tho Grippe
the past Hensons it was a uoticeahlo fact
hat those who depended upon Dr.King's
New Discovery, not only luul a speedy
ceoyery, but escaped all of llie troublo-
omo after alTocts of the malady. This
remedy seems to liavo a peculiar power in
effecting rapid cures not only in eases of

Jhust nnd Lungs, and lias cured cases of

Monkeying With Taxation-
When tho “Greatest Show on
Earth” wqsin winter quarters at
Bridgeport,a few years ago, a num
ber of monkeys were confined to a
large circular cage in the center of
one of the animal houses. To pre-
v:nl constant fighting between the
quarrelsome family, the cage was
divided by wire partitions into
some twenty small compartments
When tho daily rations were dis
tributed it was noticed that instead
of euting bis own portion eacli
mor.key would thrust his hand
through the wire and filch as much
us he could reach from his neigh
bor’s dish. The result was a great
deal biting and scratching; consid
erable food was scattered and was
ted; and since, while one monkey
was stealing, another was robbing
him, the result of their dishonesty
was a loss all around,
believers in Darwinian theory
pletely cured him. The excitement of the origin of species will piob-

In all probability it will be a
statue in the Montana state build
ing.
Why? There are several rea
sons. In the first place, it will be
the largest statue of its kind ever
made, in that it will be eight feet
high, including the pedestal, and
of solid silver. Though there are
stories of ancient statues of fabu
lous size and value, sculptors agree
that in all probability no soiid sil
ver statue larger than four feet in
height was ever made.
The statue will also attract at ■
tention because of its great value.
The intrinsic worth of the silver is
$Ij5,0G0, mu! the scalgtor ia u> re-
ahly find confirmation of their
vi ws in the recommendations
favor of a stringent “listing law”
for collecting taxes on personal
property under oath. The notion
that the general wealth of this
state can be increased by setting a
greater number of assessors to work
with a system of spies and penal
ties for failure to make returns of
property to tax everybody on their
intangible property, is worthy of
our Simian kindred.
Suppose that the '’listing law”is
passe I. While the farmer, whom
it advocates, and pre
tends to be anxious
to benefit,was getting a little more
taxes from the merchant or the
capitalist who is so wicked as to
save money and loan it out
mortgages, the latter would shift
the tax by charging a slightly
higher price for their goods, 01
higher interest on the mortgage
And the greatly increased cost of
arsessing and collecting taxes
would probably soon convince eve
ryone that syste ns of taxation
founded 01. a supposed antagonism
of interest between real ost ite ; n]
