Ginning lazily and as gracefully as his

walk is reproduction in staff of a work
by Washington artist, Prof L. Amateis,
representing an American soldier at Ell
Caney, standing erect and sadly on the

known throughout the country on account
Of the life-like portrayal Of American man

sad face back Of which q stout heart Is SO
easily imagined. There are few who don't
study this work and praise the sculptor.
