Iloreoter the By ELMO SCOTT WATSON T IS easy enough to account for the erection of private memorials to private citizens tn the form of markers over their graves and for the statues, monuaients and other memorials with which we honor our statesmen, military and naval leaders and other heroes. But how shall we account for some of the strange memorials which, through the ages, bare been set up by human hands and which man continues to set up to a great variety of things, both animate and Inanimate. To give a complete catalogue of them would require no less space than a book, but for an Idea of their variety consider some of these: Perhaps as queer an assemblage of monuments as can be found In any one place on earth Is to be seen In a cemetery at Msyfleld, Ky, where e a burial plot contains statues of the dead members of one family, dressed In the fashions of their times, and the figures of various animals, among them a deer, which were the pets of the various generations of the family and were buried beside their masters. Ordinarily you wouldn't think that cheese would be an appropriate object for a memorial, yet there Is one. It stands near the little city of 'VImoutiers In France on the farm of a certain Beau Moncel, where during the latter half of the Eighteenth century lived Marie Ilarel, who Is credited with being the Inventor of cheese. Not only Is the fame of tills Norman milkmaid commemorated by this stone shaft on the farm where she worked, but In Main Place lu the city of VImoutiers Itself Is a statue of her, back of which Is a stone showing the farmhouse on the Marcel farm where she. was born In 1701, where she lived until her death In 1817 and where she made the new kind of cheese now famous the world over. These monuments were erected through the efforts of a New York doctor, Joseph Knrlm. For many years he conducted a sanatorium In New York, where the only medicine he gave his patients for all kinds of stomach ailments was Pilsener beer and Camembert cheese. Because of his gratitude to the Inventor of the cheese with which he made so many people well and saved their lives, he made a romantic pilgrimage to Vimon tiers a year or so ago, and the result was this most unusual of all monuments. It was only a year or so ago that news dispatches carried the following story: San Jose, Calif. A movement Is In progress here to erect a monument to the memory of Louis Felller, who, 75 years ago, started the prune industry In America. Pelller came to California during the famous gold rush of 1849. Away from his sunny France, he missed the plums from his home locality near Bordeaux, and wrote back for seeds and cuttings, and searched the hills for roots of wild species on which his scions could be grafted. So Interested did be become, ho gave up his quest for gold and gave the world the prune, beginning what is now a billion dollar Industry. From another part of the West at about the same time came this news story: Fair Play, Colo. Prunes, a burro, will have a monument. Shot last month when he became too feeble to eat after serving nearly every mine In the region of Fair Play, he will have a memorial of samples of ore taken from all the mines In which he worked. Up In Alaska several years ago a bronze of a mule and a plaque, bearing a horse, was dedicated by the Ladles of the GoldPien North, an auxiliary of the Alaska-Yukooneers, to perpetuate the memory of the faithful pack animals, both mules and horses, who lost their lives on the White Pass trail during the Klondike gold rush days. With Gov. George A. Parks of Alaska and George Black, member of the Canadian parliament from Yukon territory, officiating, the dedication took place near Inspiration point above the famous Dead Horse gulch. If you want to see how other members of the equine world have been honored, go down to Lexington, Ky., and drive out along the Winchester pike until you come to Hamburg Place, the farm of J. E. Madden. Nestling In a little grove of trees on this farm Is what Is thought to be the only cemetery for horse celebrities In the world. Dominating the grassy plot of ground of less than an acre and enclosed by a stone wall stands a statue of a horse. Upon the foundation on which the statue stands Is this Inscription, "Nancy Hanks 2:04." For this is the last resting place of the world champion trotter from 1892 to 1894. Even more traditional tbaa lov. wf ltqan for s Here lived and gave her service to mankind Segis Pietertje Prospect, world's champion milk cow. Born 1913, died 1925. Twice she registered production records that set her fame above all dairy rattle of any age. In each of two years she exceeded 10,590 quarts of milk, 1,400 pounds of butter, yielding for the two a totat of 33,922 quarts of milk, 2,805.18 pounds of butter. Sired by a king and of purest Holstein strain, she herself bore sons and daughters of champion achievement. Finest type of the noble, patient animal that Is most justly named The Foster Mother of the numan Race, her queenly worth deserved the gratitude In which this tribute Is erected by her owner, Carnation Milk Farms, life-siz- bas-reli- bas-reli- n Monument erected to the memory of thousands of carrier pigeons killed during the World war which was unveiled In Brussels, Belgium, by the Duke of Brabant, son of the King of the Belgians. 2.

So It is not surprising that In various parts of the world may be found monuments to mans best friend. Visitors to Newstead abbey In Nottingham, England, are certain to be shown Lord Byrons monument to his dog Boatswain. Boatswain was a Newfoundland of affectionate disposition whose death left the great poet Inconsolable. The dog was burled not 50 feet from the corner of the abbey where he used to sit on sunny days and where his master used to romp with him. His grave is marked by a shaft of brick and marble surmounted by an urn. The pedestal Is a series of steps. On a tablet are inscribed the words: Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man, without his vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery If Inscribed over human ashes, Is but a just tribute to the memory of Boatswain, A Dog." It Is not especially unusual, perhaps, for man to erect monuments to his two best friends, the horse and the dog, but It Is unusual for him cow. For that reason to erect a monument to the statue of Segis Pietertje Prospect, a Holstein cow, which stands over her grave on the banks of the Snoqualmie river near Seattle, Wash., Is unique among memorials. The reason for this honor is explained by the Inscription on the bronze tablet at the base of the statue. It reads as follows: deaf-blin- d deaf-blin- One Sure Way io End Coughs and Colds Persistant cough and cold lead to serious trouble.

This brief catalogue of unusual monuments would not be complete without reference to unusual memorials to two men not great men, perhaps, and certainly not especially good men in fact, to two pretty bad men, judged by most human standards. Carved on an Alaskan cliff Is a huge human skull which recalls the fame of Soapy Smith, gambler, gunflghter and general bad man of the Klondike gold days, who died as he had lived by the gun. So today an ironic skull on a jagged mountainside Is Smith's salute to latter-dapilgrims journeying north by the Inside water route to Alaska. The skull 25 feet high by 9 feet wide, with missing teeth and leering smile, was carved by order of the Arctic Brotherhood as a warning to other bad men. Some day when youre motoring through Douglas, Wyo., pay a visit to the little cemetery on the hill east of that city and take a look at a large granite gravestone upon which is engraved this unusual epitaph : y GEORGE W.
