What will be the next distinguish ing feature of the Place tie la Con corde, one of Paris' great places, and perhnps (he most magnificent public square In the.world? asks the Kansas City Star. Will It, too, lie trngtc? For an air of tragedy has clung to this splendid product of cugiueerliig aud art. Thousands died there In Ihe blood mnduess of the French Revolution; the allied armies of Napoleon held a sol emn te ricuni there In 1814; In 18T1 Ihe hated Prussinn encamped In tho beautiful square; later the same year It ' Was Ihe seeno of fierce nnd bloody conflicts between Versailles troop nnd the Communards, who had erected bar ricades at one of the entrances; since 1871 the statue dedicated to the city of Strnssburg had been continuously draped In mourning and known as the "Lost Sister," keeping nllvo In Ihe minds of Frenchmen the theft of Alsace-Lorraine. A Place of Beauty. It Is a place of lovely fountains nnd statues. Originnlly It xvns tntentled ns n center of eommemortitlon, where stntucs nnd monuments might be erect ed to celebrate the memory of great Frenchmen and their deed. Louts XV modestly give It a start with a statue of himself, but this no longer stands there. It disappeared In the Revolu tion. There nre lu It now eight colossal- statues representing oinht prlnel. pnl cities of France Mile. Ilouen, Nantes, Tlordennx, Brest, Marseilles. Lyons nnd Strusshurg. There Is now tnlk of ereethiK In It some immortal conception of the present coulllet und Its victorious outcome. tin one side of the Place tie In Con corde runs the brnnd Hue Itoyale, ex tending to tho majestic church of La Madeleine. On the opposite side Is the River Seine. On Its right Is the Gar den of the Tuilerles and on the left the famous promenade of the Champa Klysees.- In the old pence times the Place de In Concorde was a scene of fcnyety. Cntne to It tourists from all parts of the world, about It promenad ed the fashionables of Pnrls. The note of gayety would, die oul of the voices of Frenchmen ns they passed the figure of the "Lost Sister" wfth' Us ever present -crepn and som ber wrenlhs of mourning. It siunlrled thnt Frnnce had neither forgotten nor forgiven. ' , The day the armistice wns declared unparalleled scenes of Joy occurred In the Place de In Concorde. Captured ffcruian guns were brought lo Its con fines; soldiers, civilians, women and children gathered there nnd laughed ami sang nnd cheered with all the abandon of the Haul, The mourning wreaths were torn awny front the Blrnsshurg monument and the statue decked with a crown of gold lenves. This crt nti Is still upon Ihe colossal figure of what Is now the "Redeemed Sister." The dreams of mnny men of genius have gone Into the making of ihe Place tie In Concorde. Gabriel, the architect, and an unnnmed engineer of grent Imagination, constructed the pavilions and lialustrndes, luld the groundwork for the achievement In the middle of the eighteenth century, The equestrlnn figure of ltulrf XV, which HtfMid In the square until the Revolution, was' the work of Boa chnrdon. Pigalle, one of his contempo raries, surrounded litis statue with hg ores emblematic of .Strength," Wisdom. Justice and Peace. The square celved Its present form In 1H.",I from desliros by lllttorf. The gr-'at stiil,U"H of the cities were made by four- fa niotis French seutptrs. each f whom did tw-o figure. At the entrance to Ihe. Champ F.lysevs, which forms' Ihe western boundary of the place, are the famous "Horses of Marly." by Gull Inume Coustoti. and si Ihe fafern side at the entrance In the Garden of ihe Tuilerles. are the "Renotnees" of Coysevox Mercury and Fame bestride tb korses.

Among those who tiled In the red days of the square were Charlotte Cimlny, Marie Autol neltc, Pnnton, Camilla Denmoultns and Robespierre,' and In air upwards of L',800. tint the French rerhember those days of tragedy with less sorrow. than they do the crowning Indignity of the pres ence of the Prussians en the Place de In Concorde In 1871. The soldlnrs of William I showed the usual German disrespect for art by hanging their ac eoutrements on the great statues, by littering the place wltb the refuse of army camps,, even at times by hitch ing their horses lu and about the square, . ; ' ; . Should some heroic figure commemo rative of the great war 'be .erected there the spot where France has sor rowed for more than 40 years will become- a spot where France can re joice. Keen Without this final trib ute of the artist's imagery, Ihe gar land crowned figure of ihe "ltedesmed Sister" will reiualu forever a thing of joy to the true son and daughter of France, ns well ns to the lovers of lib erty throughout the world. TRIBUTE TO DESERT PINES Well Called Boon te Mankind. Flour. Ishlng In Land Whsra Vegetation Does Not Thrive. '. They ore strong, those pines. Their soft nnd low-toned" converse Is the pent-lip nuletness'.of ' force.- . Their shade Is dark and cool,-their every whisper . ninsle, their green blessed thing, and .the aid ther' glv to man Is fsr beyond all computation In a land where other forests do (lot thrive. They are not cheerful' In a common way; their looks are somber, nnd their shade too-deep But there fa a quiet, a reposefgl pence' hernnd light Joj, and when you seek for thai the pines Strotrh' forth1 their iBadoWy arms lo fold you closely in. , They fear their difk green shoulders up above the gray, green chaparral, sar. Ing tbe country from. Ihe slain of being but a waste of brush. Where an old placer dump would He on ugly soar on nature's face springs up clntnp of straight browo boles holding aloft thick plumes of long green needles. crowning the bare nnd rocky mound with shnfls of sylvan beauty. They nre not pretty far too big for tint. Their steadfastness, thelf calm, un swerving growth, will shame all little ness, and whore the glnnts of thnt mighty rare rear their proud tips In lofty majesty, drinking In sunlight from the blue toward which they nre ndvunclng, or where they stand like warriors of old against the fiercest blows, there weakness may not com fortably dwell nor aught of littleness. Orvlllo Leonard.'. Eskimo Characteristics. Tbe Eskimo nre heavy, strong of arm and back, and Tery light on their feet. They are short-legged, but very fleet-footed and great Junipers. They begin lo practice Jumping as soon ns they can walk. The favorite way of Jumping Is to spring tip and kick wllh the toes of both feet and come down again on Ibe feet. Mnny of them run In this way touch a iolnt from 12 In nil inches above their bends. In looks they resemble the Japanese far more than tbe Chinese, hut they are lighter In complexion nnd very nobly faced. The girls nnd young women nre good looking. Home nre handsome. Their eyes are n clear brown amt very bright, and ili'lr eyesight Is marvel ous. Their ftt.nl Is what the sea pro duces, soul, walrus, whale and H-b. 'I.Iim hair seal Is the most useful.
