A Great American Sculptor.

America is the market for purely
imaginative sculpture. In mere mum bers
the array of busts and medaliions that
mounts into the hundreds and is OF
astonishing variety. And in quality and
mass, taken together, krow OF no one
sculptor's work that compares with 1t
since David dangers. The catalogue OF
It ia too long to repeat and contains too
many notable works even to make seIcc'
tion from. What impressiveness there is
in such busts as the Flower, and Blair
and Mozart What picturesqreness in
those Of Weir and Cottier! What charm
in the heads Of Miss Morgan and score
of women's and children's among the
many he has N odeliel No trais 10 too
rude in the original to elude sympathy In
the rendering, too gross for the dignity,
too insipid for the force, too fieeting for
the acuteness of the art that apprehencs
snd expresses Ii. The ease uncoutbness
takes on, the vitality that infuses the
commonplsce under Wsrner's sensitive
handling, are eloquent witnesses OF his
faculty fer generalizing character into
beauty and transmitting nature into art.
His bust may stand tside Houdon's;
and IL bis medsllions show less crispncss
and decision of edge and line, and less
variety OF presentation, than David's, 1t
is because OF temperamental preference
FOR character in Its softer manifestations;
they are never unsculptural, either as the
cameo with its emphasis OF outline and
neglect of modelling, or as the low relief
that sacrifices sculpture to pictorial effect.
| am thinking chiefly, perhaps, Of
Warmers portraits, and it is in portra It
ure-where character claims consideration
imperaiively--that Warner has been
especially eminent. Ii cannot be said
thar he is more at home there than in
purely imaginative work. But circum-
stances have in considerabl, measure
concentrated his attention upon the por-
trait bust and uedallion. From "The
Sculpture OF Olin Warner" in Octoper

The Working-Gir1 es She II.

81 am an original working girl"
An original working girl, as the shirt
maker expressed II, is, in fact, new
type. She isl girl to whom work Is a
necessity, but a burden she takes up
lightly and gladly. 1t means indepen-
dence, freedom, power. Ii means associa-
tion, compan ionship, organization. 1t
leaves her free to do with her life what
she chooses. The regularity that her
body and mind. She has pride, which
she feels is not wicked, In being one of
the cleverest of workwomen. IL there is
extra work to be done, she Is booked to
do 1t. This gives her satisfaction. Ger
tainly she does not earn money enough
to suit her. But IL she cannot make
more she doesn't mean to take less, and
is ready to try conclusions with a light
heart.
In all proba bjlity she has not been to
schoo; since she was l3 years old. Since
then her education, has teen conducted
by experience and the newspaper. Neither
~ an inefficient teacher. On the con-
trary, so ably has this been done that
her mind is storehouse uf facts tnat
make her valuable frequently for
purposes of reference TO people who
have been through college. Her ex-
erfence directs her mind toward matters
of pubic importance, and these include
how public mon have stood with regard
70 them. Not infrequently she has had
the career of some Legislator assigned
by her organization to her watchful eye.
Whatever has at any time engfossed the
publ, mind SHE is informed about

AN EPISODE oF TIE CAMPAIGN.

AN EPISODE OF THE CAMPAIGN
Was ever before a candidate unani-
mously nominated oy his party associates

speech bstwee the lines OF which was
writ: "Pleise declinei"
That was the experience OF JOHN BOYD
THAoHER, ex-Mayor of Albany, who was
nominated for Governor OF the State OF
New York by the Democratic Convention
at Buffalo that, at the same time, adopted
a platform that endorsed the Chicago
pronunciamento OF the BRYAN de-
mocracy.
Said the spokesman of the notification
committee in onclujirg his remarks:
"We deem it privilege to bring to you
the confidence Of your party associates as
expressed in the unanimous nomination
OF which we now formally notify you,
and await such reply as you desire US to
communicate to tho State Committee"
But q he hac honestly expressed the de-
sire OF the state Committee the spokes-
man would have added: "And, Mr..
THAcHER, by reason Of recent observa-
tions from you the State Committee real
ICES that you really have not the cont
dence OF your party associates as seem.

nation of which we now formally notify

nomination and climb down of the

offered an official cory OF the former dec

The Use of Great Riches.

One of the odd things about wealth Is
the small impression the preachers and
uoralists have ever made about 1t. From
the very earliest times it's deceitfulness,
it's inability to produce happiness, Its Ter
tility IN temptation, it's want OF connec-
tion with virtue and purity, have BEEN
among the commentaries OF religion ana
morality. Hesiod declsims against II, and
exposrs Is bad effects on the character
of its posscssors, and Christ makes 1t ex'
ceeoiugIy hard for the rich man to get to
heaven. The folly OF winning wealth or
caring for 1t has a prominent place In me-
diaeysl theology. Since the Reformation
there has not been so much declsmation
AGAINST if brt the rich mans position
has always been neld, even among Prot
estants, to be exceedingly perilous His
temptation might not Do so great ss they
used TO be, but his responsibilities were
ouadrupied. The moder, phiianthropic
I. moyment, I'm particular, has laid heavy
bureens on him. He Is now allowed TO
nave wealth, but the ethical writer's and
the clergy supervise his expenditure close
