SHERMAN'S LITTLE TRAMP.
How the Figure Came to Be Placed CpOl
ibo Sfof,aa NJ tho (.anarul

How the Figure Came to Be Placed Upon
the Statue of the General.
The design for the Sherman statue
submitted by j. Massey khihd, of New
York, is very ornate. Besides having
several groups of warlike and allegor-
ich1 figures about the pedestal; 1t has
quite an Enclosure on one side, APP
preached by a short flight of broad
steps, with a broad seat on each side.
The many visitors to the department
s1atuary corridor to examine the vari-
Gus designs have been-much interested
IN noticing a small brown figure seated
on one of these benches. Everything
eiss is white anti this fstlrs is brought
out in striking contrast. Viewed from
a little distance this figure is very ar
tistic and effective, and serves to show
the relative size of a mans figure and
the proposed statue. 1t looks like a
tramp who had dropped down in the
seat to take a good long rest. 1t wears
a SLOUGH hat with brim pulled down,
ole leg is Crossed over the other, and
he is apparently reading a newspaper
intently, without any fear Of being dis
turbed by a wandering policemat.a
When one approaches near enough to
examine the figure carefully the illu-
sion disapgeaA and ne sees nothing but
some pieshs of brown mud welded to-
gether apparently with but little re-
gard to the formation of legs or arms
or anything else.
The little figure was not there when
the model was first placed there, and
how it got there is rather interesting.
Mr.. Ellicott's model stands about Is
feet catercornered from the Rhind de-
sign. When it was first put up Gen.
Sherman wore a regulation soldier cap.
Some one who knew Mr.. Ellicott told
him that he had made a mistake; that
Sherman never wore a cap, but always
{; SLOUGH hat. "I1l easily fix that" said
the sculptor, and procuring a handful
Of mud he almost instantly trans
formed the cap into a hat, which being
easily whitened conformed with the
rest of the statue.
The chunk of mud which was left he
careiessly dropped on the covered box
on which the model stood. Pretty soon
MIR. Rhind came along, and while stand
ing talking with a friend, he picked up
the mud and rolled pieces of it between
his thumb and finger. In the twinkling
of an eye he had fashioned the little
brown tramp, which he seated at the
base Of his own model. And there it
rests, serving a double purpose-show-
ing the proposed size of the statue and
what art can do with a chunk of mud.

"Perhaps, Benny: but we will look
after the bear Il little. Take the path
to the wood past the ccops. We will
see IL we can find the plowler."
Clutching the rife with more firm
LESS, Rebecca Morley started toward
the forest, and in Il little while she and
her sou hsd passed the fringe and stood
underneath the trees. Benny held the
torch above his head while his mother
looked on every side i'll hopes of seeing
q living target for the family rife.
Mother" said the boy, what if the
bear was an Indian?"
Mrs. Morley glanced down at the lit
tie speaker and for o moment seemed
to smile,
"An Indian, boy"
"Why not? Haven't you noticed the
strange marks on the ground between
here and the pens?'
Il have rot been looking down very
closely"
"Then let us so back a little and l
will show you the tracks where tbs
ground is soft" ~
Mother and son retracetrth steps
and all at once the latter pointed to the
ground.
1t was at a spot where the groun>
was still soft from recent rains, and
very few leaves We're there.
"IIere is one of the tracks, mother"
said Benny. Don't you see it is shaped
like a human foot and that the toes
turn inward? l saw a good many In.
dian tracks on the old sandbar last
summer, and we knew that they were
Indian ones"
The settlers wife had taken the torch
from her sons hands and Nas looking
at the ground at her feet. The light fell
full upon the spot, and she could make
out the outlines of a human footmark
in the yielding soil.
"Our bear may be Il redskin," said
the boy, watching his mother.
There was no reply, as Mrs. Morley
rose quickly and looked toward the
cabin where she had left her husband
and the other little one asleep.
Come" she said, hastily. If an In.
dian has been here we must reach the
cabin as soon as possible"
In another moment mother and son
were fastening toward the little home;
but suddenly a cry from Benny's lips
startled the mother and she stopped
and looked at him.
"The bear, mother, the bear!" said
the boy, pointing toward the house,
but a few rods distant.
Mrs. Morley leaned forward, her eager
The Opelousas courier., 1896-03-21

eye searching out the dark places which
the light Of the torch did not fully pen
citrate.
Benny had fallen behind his mother
and was holding the fambeau above
his head, his face pale, and, his little
hands wound about the fagot with reso-
luton.
81 see no bear, Benny" said Mrs.
Morley.
"Neither do I now, but he was right
over yonder among the bushes, for l
got a glimpse of his eyes and"
"Hush, Benny. l see him now!"
Remember what father said" whis-
pered Benny. Don't shoot till you can
take him between the eyes"
The glistening targets which both
mother and son now saw were near the
ground as if the bear had crouched and
the freight enabled them to see him
plainly
Benny Morley watched his mother
while he held his breath, and wondered
if the bear when killed would turn out
to be a large one, or a weakling, as he
fully believed-not large enough to
carry off a pig after attacking the pen.
Seconds seemed minutes to the boy
who held the torch for the determined
woman, but suddenly the rifle rang out
on the night air, and there followed a
wild scream, while the two fiery eyes
near the ground vanished instantly.
"You hit him, mother" cried the ex.
cited boy.
Mrs. Morley, standing like a statue
in the freight, made no reply, but the
boy noticed that she was deathly pale,
and that tke rife trembledF in her
He is over there among the bushes"
continued Benny. 'Irdid not hear him
run. Mother hat was one of the best
shots of your life"
Without a word Mrs. Morley adj
yanced, followed by her son, to the
clump of bushes, but she instinctively
drew back, and for a moment passed
her hand across her face.
The game lay dead at her feet.
There, in the light of the torch, with
death in his staring eyes, lay an Indian
dressed for the val path and armed
with tomahawk and scalping-knife
the former clutched in his grim, dead
nand.
Benny Morley looked a moment
amazed, and then almost dropped the
torch.
His eyes glittered like a bears in the
1irhf coil 1o Npr,{ rnn4ho, x.-
had not killed him what would have be-
come of us?'
The presence of the armed Indian
about the little home, at that hour,
told how narrow haa been the escape
of the family, and but for Mrs. Moriey's
fortunate fire-hunt here might have
been an attack or TT cabin.
The death of t~ha1prowling redskin
was a secret ~whichNhad to. be kept, and |
long before daylight there was a grave 4
in a secluded spot in the, forest, and in |
time wild bushes grew over the spot,
which was in no other manner marked. |
The Indian had undoubtedly killed /
Inc pig, but in doing so he had sealed |
his own doom, for he could not have
heard OF the courage ofRebbecca Nor
!ey Q Of her craftsmanship with the
rifle.
The secret Of the fiie-hunt was zeal. |

HERE Is ONE OF r TRACKS, MOTHER
the courageous woman advanced to-
wards the pens.
The anxious husband leaned towards
the little window near the bed and held
his breath. 1t was not the first time
his wife had encountered Old Ephraim;
but q hungry bear is not a nicev hemy,
and is apt, if wounded, to make a des-
perate battle.
In the neighborhood Of the pens
everything had become suddenly still.
hut the very silence was ominous, and
this caused Mrs. Morley to proceed with
caution.
I'VE have lost the bear, mother" said
the boy, when they reached the pens
and found no game.
But he has been here. Look at the
blood on the ground, and there lies one
of the pigs dead"
Mother and SON bent over the railing
of the sty and Benny held the torch
close to the ground.
In n corner of the pen lay q fine
pig, still bleeding, and for an animal of
that kind to lie in the pen after a visit
by . bear wa most peculiar. Mrs. Nor
ley took the torch from her sons hand
and held it close to the porker.
Her face lost q little color as she rose
and looked toward the wood.
1t must have been q little bear, moth
