Winnie Ream's Girlhood.

wllderlng young mOider of craven
images Is Kansas girl. The paternal
Ream was for many years resident OF
this State, where he folio wed the advoca-
ton Of bookkeeping. He opened first in
the Shawnee House. Leavenworth. and af-
terward IN the Eldridge House ar Wyan-
dotte. The patrons of these hotels and
citizens of the towns named recall the
Winnie Ream Of those DAYS as pert.
plump little body, with remarkably
bright eyes and a . handy wav Of wait
upon the guests at the table: and II is re-
lated that when the family made the
journey from Leayenworth 10 Wyandotte
she drove the cow, walking the whole dis
lance barefooted TO save her only pair of
shoes. Nobody who knew her IN this
sylvan era OF her girlhoOd |. able 20 recall
a single sign in her loOk- or her actions of
a bent for chiseling statues. And vet
IL l. fair to suppose that the divine affia-
tus" had at least whispering lOdgment
IN her mind even then, if we are 70 accept
the fiattering estimate which her friends
put upon her work as an artist. If she
ever "sculp ed"any thing i'm Kansas except
biscuits and butter-rolls, there j. no re-
cord or remembrance OF il nor j. il known
here how and when she first commenced
her working of miracles in stone. She had
but little education and no art training
when she left Kansas; and 10 people
thereaboufs she i herself greater won
der than all her statues. IL seems nearly
impossible 10 credit the tact that girl who
only few years ago Was washing dishes
IN a frontier clearinghouse should now
be winning worldwide attention i'm
s,here which is supposed TO demand the
highest and subtlest genius. Putting
aside the question of the real value OF her
work as an artist, the fact of her success
which few men find 1t impossible TO sur
mount, Is not without signal claim to gen.
eral and praiseful recognition. IL success
be the true test of merit ner title to fame
