Something of the Man Who Is to
Adorn Pennsylvania New Capitol.

Chicago Inter ocean,
The placing of a 100000 contract for
eleven colossal groups of statuary for
the adornment of the capitol at Harris
burg, Pa. in the hands of George Gray
barnard, calls attention TO two points
of interest: The American progress in
sculpture and the personality of the
sculptor.
Sculpture is the rarest of the arts It's
history in the United States is so brief
that any man of middle age may remem-
Der its beginning. Up to two decades ago
American sculpture practically consisted
OF conventional busts and monuments
conceived in the spirit of an obituary no.

tails or astride of chargers, according to
circumstances. but they were always ea-
pressive of the sentiment Of dutiful be-
reavement and sorrow.
The Worlds Fair gave to American
sculptors new inspiration and new
opportunity. Their work in the White
City showed a.resoectable amount Of ac-
tual achievement. but it's most significant
feature was an intelligent grasp OF the
situation. This promise has been full
filled by the work. among other. Of ST.
Gaudens. Macmonnies. Barnard. Taft.
French, MacNeil. Proctor, and Bessie
Potter Vonnoh.

This buzzins and shifting around goes on
for a week or SO. during which period the

But let me illustrate the whole grewsome
business by little sketch of my own
happy home before and after the claw
footed demon in mahogany entered to
blast MY life.
On a certain day at dinner when / saw
something dangerous in the steely eye OF
the Com,nander-in-C Chief, that good wo-
man Embossed her cornucopia of words.
and said into my silell-like ear: Dear,
I'm going to have my old sideboard
done over, and when the antique furniture
man gets through with it you won't know
the thing
What old sideboard?' I blurted out.

But the sad story of my life doesn't end
here. Having an antique mahogany side
| board is like owning a silk hat. You
have to buy other things to match it. The
little, but expensive, incident have re-
| lated was but the beginning-the first
act of a tragedy so full of pathos that it
would make the play Of Romeo and Juliet
| read like a comedy.
After the mahogany Rip Van Wrinkle
had been properly installed and a due
amount of incense burnt in front of it.,
the eye of the Queen Bee again began
to get shifty at mealtimes. Then she
| wrnkled her forehead like a can of fish
Ing worms and said: Dear, I'm going
to sell these tacky old oak chairs and
use the money to buy mahogany chairs.
The ones intend getting will match the
sideboard beautifully
How do the proposed new chairs
match my pocket-book?" sagely asked.
20, that's all right-all llunkedory,' she
loosely replied. II can sell these oak
chairs for six dollars, and by putting
thirty dollars more on to that sum can
find just the thing I want-in fact. I have
my eye on it now.
1.-THE wind bloweth where it listeth, :"
said I, in despair. DO as thou wilt, o,
patient Griselda. Money is no object to
me. especially when all I have is gone.
and what you now buy will come out Of
other peoples pockets
And so the mahogany chairs came
marching up-six cold, stiff-backed, black
looking, Puritanical things that appeared
as if they needed artificial hips. The
most wicked man on earth could LOOK
at those chairs and see that they We're of
previous chaste character. Why, they
would have been embarrassed had you
spoken of their legs, instead of limbs
But my. they were-and still are-un-
comfortable! I beg the COMMANDMENT
Chief every day to let me sit on an in
verted soap box while eating my meals,
but she is obdurate.
After that the good woman spent hours
every day nosing around town in out-of-
the-way places looking for antique things
of every description One day she'd come
home with cankered old brass candle
Sticks and the next day she'd buy a
broken-nose ed pitcher with gilt handle
and painted with a bunch of flowers that
suggested wallpaper design. Then
she'd bob up with all sorts of spindle
legged large stoma ched things in the way
of escritories and china presses. which
looked like Brownies. Some had glass
knobs to them. while others were adorned
with brass rings or dilap idated mirrors.
But the most worshipped Of all the GU,
rios invariably had claw feet-feet that
looked as II they might have adorned

wouldn't hear to it. THAT old-timy

emerged from the repair shop veritable

the standards Of beauty set by the Com

as if it is suffering from tight corset
and legs unfit for golf stockings, but my
views don't count. Women have been COM
