If ever a professional humorist un- a dertakes to write a. guide-book of no Rome, he will find material in abun- ir dance, ready-to-hand, paxticularly in the art galleries, where the artless e comments of "innocents abroad" ir sometimes make even the marble bi statues smile. t Nearly everybody knows the story of the Laocoon and is familiar, by le having 'seen c>pies or pitographs :t least with the famous group in the Vatican, representing the father struggling hopelessly to free himself from the grip of the great snake that has coiled itself round his body and is slowly crushing him and his two bf sons to death. Pliny considered it the finest piece of statuary in the world. i Every school boy's Virgil is illus trated with an engraving of it. Well, the other day, a French wo- T man stood before it in puzzled con templation; evidently there was some detail she didn't understand; and at last she turned to a companion, say ing, "Yes, it is easy enough to see1 Ihe is a fireman, but I can't imagined now he got so tangled ,up in the hose." In the Villa Borgese gallery is a; Sstatue by Bernini, showing the nymph Daphne pursued by Apollo, just at the moment when, as the sun-god's~ arms are outstretched to sieze her 'I fleeing form, she is miraculously 0( saved by being transformed into aW laurel. In the Cardinals' College, it Iis scarcely necessary to relate, there is a man named Rampolla, whom the ol Romans, by the way, think is going a to be the next Pope. The other day g? an American busin1ess man, who was trusting to his wife for explanations t of the various things he didn't un-. derstand in Europe, was looking at ?' Bernini 's group. "Ain't she curious'' P he was saying of the nymph, "why (1 she must 'be diseased: See, she has bark on her legs, and her fingers are sprouting leaves: What you reckon it is?'' rAnd the wife, who had evidently I read a little Gr.eek mythology and aw little modern Church politics, and had di the two confused in her mind, after h4 a moment of pained thought, respond- w ed: "Oh, I know, it must be Rampollo m chasin' Daphne!" But joking aside, there is one stat-F -e in Rome that American men do d understand and like. I have seen bi many a one halt before it and stare:h up into its face, while' their own faces Si Scholarship~ n1 Entrance Examinations Clemsone SAgricultural College.

They want to shake inds with it. It is the antique por ait-statue of Augustus Caesar, that as executed by nobody knows whom id dug up somewhere out in the ighborhood of Tivoli. Now it stands the Braccio Nuovo at the Vatican. Every line of the features and ev y detail of the body breathes fine telligence and brute strength com ned. The forehead is broad and not o high; the hair is short and tusl ; the chin is square, but lean; lie is an all over, though big-boned and usclar; it is the leanness of the hiete. not the "lean and hungry ok' of Cassius; he thinks, but ,tt o m!elC. He could do things. r.ad been ha-n a young Ameri-:n, le 01ld to college and Sd( I id philosophy, but he would be half wk on his 'Varsity' team; when he -e.w to be an older man, he wouli rget both ethics and philosophy, d become a railroad president. hen he spoke it would be in verbs. iese characteristics are sticking out I over him, plain as warts on the ek of a toad, and that is why the ht of him awakens enthusiasm in e American-business-man-off-on-va tion, who finds himself bored to ~ath by most of the art works of the d world. I have often noticed that the typi 1 American man in Europe-I don't ean the professional tourist or the eh idler, but the middle-aged man ith a family, who has crossed the :ean for the first time to please his ife and daughters-is unhappy as a i out of water, restless and uncom rtable. His women-folks, on the her hand, are in paradise. There is reason for it. The man has been >ing down to his office every morn g at nine o 'clock for twenty or irty years. with maybe one day 's eation annually, and has been stay g in that office each evening until 6 in., grinding, grinding for the llars. His business has become for mn n6t only a labor, but a kind of me in which he is wrapped up to .e exclusion of most other interests. e has left "culture,'' that is, art, :erature, music, and the like, to his ife and daughters, not because he ~spises culture, but simply because hasn't time for it. A year ago, hen the family petted him into -omising a trip to Europe, the wo en immediately began to plan and ad ,and dream and brush up their renh, but the man kept on going >wn to the office at 9 a. in., just as ~fore, and one fine morning found mself standing on the liner's deck, atc.hing the statue of Liberty fading the distance, without ever having. en Europe ten minutes serious ought. And when he reached Paris, someone had suddenly button-holed in and asked the Biblical question, What went you out for to see?" he mldn 't have told to save his life. e is proud to hear wife and daugh rs glibly chattering about pre-Raph lie art, but it frets him just the me, and it frets him still more not be able to speak or understand a ord of the foreign language, not to able :' order a cup of coffee for mel.l < buy ai b.a of match..a itho"t the aid :f e augthter or a ide- ir eroreter.

If they are in ligent-and most American women -e-they know enough about pictures. chitecture and the rest, really to preiate and understand; if they are upid, they spend their time posing create t'he impression that they iderstand, which keeps them occu ed and contented just the same. But the American husband likes the atue of Augustus Caesar; the Am ian life of business and dollar ?tting may have made him narrow, it he is a man for a "'that,"~ and , knows a man when he sees one.
