BY common consent, il seems, Of both
popuiace and critics, the greatest picture
of the exposition is ''Alone in the Word"

ings Of the Columbian salon. As long
ago as 1867 he won third medal at the
Paris Exposition Universal, and was
decorated with the L-gion of Honor. At
the exposition OF ISIS he took tirs, me tai.
aud Was made an officer of the legion.
He has won many other meda.s and hon
orabse mentions.
His masterpiece is a quiet, unpretentious
work. II shows the interior OF peasants

come home from his toll and found his

peace on her face. The workman has not
burst into tears; he has not fallen upon
his knees by the side of the bed; he has
not grasped one OF the cold hands and
begged but q word from the lips which he
knows will never speak again. Instead,
he has seated himself on q bench and
turned his face from the bed. His cap and
pipe have fallen to the door. His feet, in.
cased in wooden shoes, are far apart, and
on either knee is one Of his big, work

satisfied with il. They may assail its

no matter. If it arrests the attention of
