Mark Twain says that the family's share of the war book will reach half million; and he understands that, under the will, this is divided be- tween the widow and all the child ren. The statuette made by Gebhardt is having extensive sale, and as it is copy lighted the proceeds are secured to the Grants. A life-size bust made by the same sculptor from sittings and the cast taken after death is to be marketed in the same way. Care has been taken to exclude all other artists from any facilities for work. The same precaution has kept photograph CTS from making pictures of the interior of the Mt. McGregor cottage, save one operator, whose negatives have been protect ed by copyright, and are under the control of Col. Fred Grant.
