The American whose portrait is
shown herewith is 90 men. But each
one of the 20 is to-day in his prime,
working with unimpaired vigor and
with superbly developed faculties at
the problems of civilization which still
remain unsolved. Taken collectively,
they represent the typical American,
to whose marvellous ability the glory
of the epoch is due. - -. &c..
Their counterfeit presentments have
been grouped in composite picture,
says the Kansas City Star, to show,
as we'll as facial expression may, the
personal traits that make the typical
American what he is.
Three of the group are three of the
richest men on earth, not by inherit
ance or by the use of despotic power,
such as has been used by monarchs
of all time to wiring tribute from I'M
willing subjects, but by sheer business
ability. Two of them=rank among the
highest governors of earth, presi-
dent and an ex-president of the United
States.
One of them won a great naval bat
tie.
One is head of the concern which
does the largest dry goods business Of
any one concern in the world.
One is ranked as, a sculptor and one
as an artist in oils, whose work is not

this country, but you can be United
States senator" This was long before
there was ''New Education" but one
of it's foundation methods was used by
Miss Dillon in thus relating young Mel
sons life to the vital facts in the lives
of men of success. From this time on
he studied them with keen personal in
terest. seeking to find just how they
had achieved. He realized that the first
step was to learn more than country
district school taught.
Senator Nelson tells that he Jour-
neyed in an ox-cart of home construc-
ton, the wheels of which were sections
of big log, to the little village acad-
envy from which he graduated. On this
cart was large wooden chest which
contained, in addition to his scanty
wardrobe, sufficient provision from
the farm to last him half the term.
He did his own cooking, living as SIM
ply as did Daniel when he was in train
ing to stand before Baby Ions triumph
ant king. At this time he bore, with
out the slightest thought of relinquish-
ing his object, the constant sights and
ridicule of his fellow students.
Senator Nelson's personality an
nounces the staying qualities which
enabled him to realize the ambition
inspired by his first teacher. He walks
short, sits tall, and has the sturdiness
of those not easily overthrown. His
wide, firm mouth closes evenly; his
1ron-gray hair and beard are cropped
to coordinate with the square-turned
lines of his head and face; and his ear
which, according to &c Maupassant, in
dlcates ones origin far more accurate
~ than any certificate of birth, is siz-
able, with elaborate, well-defined con-
volutions
In small way he entered the arena
of politics shortly after he had fin
ished his. academic course, and has
filled almost every office in the Gift of
the people, once or more, up to the one
he now occupies. Meanwhile, he found
time to serve as soldier during the
civil war, and to become an able law
yer.
The woman who opened the world of
books to the senator, and the scarcely
less important world of the amenities
OF life, was guest at his home while
he was a congressman. After her
death, among her effects was found.
carefully dated and arranged, almost
every thing that had been published,
up to that time, about him. It is one
OF the regrets of his life that Miss Dill

did not live to see him senator.

SCI PED HIS DESTINY
Career Of Senator Nelson an 1nspir-
s. alton to Young Men.
Poor Norwegian boy Who Rose from
Deepest Obscurity and Now In
Ono of the Great Statesmen
of the Hour.

The fife of Senator Knute Nelson, of
Minnesota, has in it the elements of a
purpose novel of twofold intent. The
themes, which are closely interviewer,
are the powerful influence which the
early inspiring of a definite ambition
has in shaping a life, and how success
is gained despite the most untoward
conditions. These points are clearly
brought out in a clever little sketch,
contributed by Antoinette Van Hoesen
to the Cosmopolitan.
A foreign-born American, Knute
Nelson came to this country from Nor
way with his widowed mother when he
was less than five years old, and earned
his first money selling newspapers
upon the streets of Chicago. Later,
when he and his mother were settled
on little sandy farm out in Wisconsin,
his life was given definite direction
by one Mary Dillon, who taught the
district school. Miss Dillon was cul-
tivated woman who came with her fam
lily to this country from Belfast, Ire
land, to mend their broken fortunes.
She became interested in the little,
virile, eager-minded Norwegian boy,
and, at stated intervals, invited him to
her home. There, for the first time he
saw the table-napery in use and tea
table ornamcnted with flowers. On
one of these occasions, in talking with
him of the famous personages of his
tory, Miss Dillon said:
'You, too, may become distin-
guished man, Knute. You've good
mind, and all you have to do is to be in
dustrious and persevering. You can't
be president, for you were not born in

DESTROYS of presenting to their alma
mater statue of the patriot, himself
graduate of that uniyersit y, of the
class of ITS.
The statue, which is of heroic size,
represents the, young patriot on his
way to the scaffold. His head is held
high and in his eyes is the expression of
man who is oblivious to the jeers of
the mob gathered to witness the exc
cution of a spy.
In his original sketch of the statue
Mr.. Partridge had his figure standing
at the foot of the scaffold. That it was
changed to its present state-that of
a forward motion, suggesting action
without fatiguing the eye is due to a
beautiful thought of Phillips Brooks.
He was looking at the first sketch in
the sculptor's studio one day when he
said that "a man does not remain all
his life at university, but passes on
to something higher and more worthy
of his powers" and so the suggestion
of motion in the figure typifes that
thought as well as the story of the pa
triot's heroism. Since no portrait of
Hale exists, Mr.. Partridge built up his
ide4l of the face in manner that is
an evidence of the thoroughness with
which he works. Acting on the princi-
pie that men of one epoch bear a gen.
Ieral resemblance to one another, he
studied the colonial type faithfully,
and used in connection with this type
the mask of Yale student who was
much after Hale's manner of thought
and purpose in life. The statue is of
bronze and will be mounted ona pedes-
ta1 three feet six inches high. The
cost will be about $4,000.
