A NIGHTMARE.

had vision: naught for miles and miles
But shattered columns, shattered walls Of
gold .s4.5 e
And precious stones that from their place
bad rolld
And lay in heaps, with litter'd golden tiles,
While here and there amid the ruined piles
OF gold and sardius and their glittering
mold,
Wild tufts of aInaranth had taken hold,
Ecenting the golden desert like sweet isles.
And not one soul and not one step nor SOUND,
Until there started up haggard head
Out of the gold from somewhere underground
Wildly he eyed me and the wreck all round;
''Who'rt thou2" quoth /. He shrilled laugh
and said,
? 1.-THE last of souls, and this is what / found"
Aye, aye. the gates of pearl are crumbling
fast,
The streets of beryl toppie stone by stone,
The throngs of souls in white and gold are
gone.
The jasper pillars lie where they were cast,
The roofless halls of gold are dumb and vast,
The courts of jacinth are forever lone,
Through shattered chrysolite the blind winds
And topaz r1olders into earth at last
And earth is the reality; its hue
Is brown and sad, its face Is hard to till;
Upon mans brow the sweat must hang like
dew.
But grain takes root in valley, plain and hill,
Tho never here the amaranth yet grew,
And grain breeds grain, and more and more
grain still. is7s

A Novel Marriage Ceremony.

1
HILLsBoRo, O., Sept. 22.-tThe great
reunion Of the Stroup family recently
held in this county has brought back 70
light the particulars of the most anus
ing pioneer marriage ceremony ever per-
formed in the. state. 1t was in 1903.
The brides dress was a very fine light
figured calico that cost a dollar a yard.
She wore plain cap on her head, white
silk gloves, plain white collar and
shoes and stockings.
The groom was dressed in BROW
dress coat and trousers, with Marseilles
vest, white socks, low quartered Shoes
and white kid gloves. AS a rule, how
ever, the grooms of that day did not
dress SO we'll as this one. The cere-
mony was performed by Squire Oliver
Ross, decided character in that day,
and man of peculiarities, as will be
seen., On the day appointed the parties
with their friends appeared before his
honor.
"Well," said the squire in his peculiar
Irish style, 1--WE have NIT today to jine

will ye, Mixer

..Well, Miss Polly, will ye take Mike,
whom ye hould be the right hand, to De

man as liver wore a pair o buckskin
brokins. You promise to forsake all

tically test their skill in new lines Of
work. Scarcely bureau, directly or
indirectly connected with the Worlds
fair, but employs from dozen to hun
bred women. Remarkable is the inroad
they are making in the higher art of
decoration evoked by the artistic de-
mands of the World fair buildings.
The fardy development of American
sculpture has long been deplored at
home and abroad. Dearth of native tai
ent in this subtlest of the arts has forced
the art directors of the Worlds fair to
depend largely upon the skilled artisans
of FRANCE, italy and Germany to exc
cute the designs OF American artists in
the plastic decoration of the exposition
buildings. Anticipating the need Of
their services these Old World artisans
came to this country in great numbers
came in time to escape the law re-
stricting the employment of foreign
labor.
Horticulture and Forestry buildings
are now huge ateliers, where the babel
Of many tongues interpolates the ring
of chisel or trowel and suggests the
Latin quarters of Paris or Rome.
In one section of Horticulture hall,
however, kings English prevails, to-
gether with an innovation in the history
Of industrial expositions.
Mr. dorado Taft, the designer of the
groups and facades destined to decorate
the exterior Of Horticulture hall. has
summoned to his assistance six young
women.
Mr.. Taft has long been identified with
the Art institute of Chicago. He is a
clever sculptor, pupil of the Beaux
arts, Anton MERCER and Falegeuere.
Better still, he is an unspoiled American
with implicit faith in women's genius
and desire to give it fair play. His
assistants are his pupils, all having
studied with him at the institute or at
his studio from six months to five years.
In age they range from nineteen to
twenty-three. All but two are natives
of Illinois. They are paid at the rate of
five dollars per day, and in all proba-
bility will be steadily employed until
Christmas.
industrious, bright, quick witted and
well educaSed, they give perfect salts
faction" said Mr.. Taft as he proudly
watched the agility with which his
paper capped, bingham aproned girls
scaled the scaffolding of huge statue
or rounded out with the wet clay the
contour of Greek goddess.
II have no faith in art which is not
founded on intelligence. Mere facility
has never produced any great or lasting
work, and while ! urge my pupilsto
keep in practice-like the musician with
his scales-I also insist upon much read
ing and thinking. Endowed with am

ife's work. Miss Bracken has worked
five years in this studio, her identity
lost in tnas of her employer and inssruc-
tor.
II have noticed in the last two years"
said Mr.. Taft magnanimously, "that
visitors to my studio invariably admire
in my work the very effects to which
I'm indebted to Miss Bracken. The
time has come when she should have
credit and / mean to do all in my power
to secure her the opening she SO richly
deserves"
The work of these young women has
already attracted substantial recogni
ton. ss-t
Miss Bracken has been awarded the
contract to sculpture in Italian marble
an S-foot female, figure representing
Illinois welcoming the nations. 1t will
be her first independent work. The
state will pay her s., 500.
The clay model of this ambitious eff
fort is singularly strong expression of
womanly dignity, purity and refinement.
Older artists .skeptically await its execu-
ton in marble. It will occupy a ped
estal beneath the dome of the Illinois
building. Six equally large figures de-
signed by Miss Braclzen for the interior
decoration Of the same building will be
modelled by her companions, Misses
Brooks, Scudder, Taft, Enid Yandell
(the clever Duke of '.Three Girls in a
Flat') and Mrs. E. r. Copp. The latter
is the only professional woman sculptor
in Chicago,
The figures represent Charity, Faith,
Justice, Fraternity, Learning and Art.
They will jut out from panels between
!, the windows and rest on brackets bear
ing the coat of arms of the state of Hi
nois. Each girl will be paid $3.50 for
her work.
Miss Bracken has just received an
order to execute in Cararra marble a
statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary for
the Holy Name cathedral Of Chicago
II believe my luck is coming 5all at
once" cried the wonderfully gifted girl
on receiving this last order. ut looks as
though my trip to Paris will notIend in
dreams.
Of course all these young women, Like
all good Americans, dream of going to
Paris, and to that end they are laboring
and boarding the money the Worlds
fair is happily enabling them to earn.
