william Edgar Marshall, the portrait
painter and engraver, who has been re-
producing the features OF famous Ameri-
cans for forty years and whose portraits
Of Lincoln and Grant and LongfelloW espe-
cialy are known from one end Of the
country to the other, works to-day In the
same studio where he worked thirty years
ago. But tall buildings have risen around

in pocket and there is good light for only
a couple Of hours a day.
The place IL crowded with pictures and
art objects. One picture Of colossal size
is head OF Christ, which Mr. Marshall
afterward reproduced in a smaller en-
craving. In this studio Mr. Marshall re-

was still determined to fight winning

and turning on HIS heel he stalked away
down the beach confident in his ability
to conquer this last enemy and showing
the same resourceful courage that he fought
and conquered with forty years ago.

to punish people; that belonged TO the
Creator; but the State should concern itself
only with the protection OF It's citizens
against criminals and plans for the i'm
provement morally OF its charges.
Senator Hawlcy did not relish the idea
and finally asked Mr.. Warner Il the Bible
didn't say something about the wrath OF
God. When informed also that the Script
ures particularly specified that God was
love, Senator Hawley quickly replied
'Well, God Is love, know; but I don't
believe the Scriptures say he is slobber and
mush.'
Some time later when an old time asso-
ciate who had been convicted OF misap-
preparation Of funds had served part OF
his sentence in State prison, an effort was
made to pardon him through the interven-
ton Of influential friends. Senator Hawley,
as former friend Of the convict, was urged
TO exert his influence in his behalf; but he
refused to enter into any project TO mitigate
the punishment that he thought was de-
served, although he admitted feeling very
strongly for his friend in his trouble.
Combined with a very tender heart and a
generous disposition Senator Hawley had a

be frequently Misunderstood. man who
wanted his aid in obtaining an Office once
brought him letters Of introduction from
several close friends and told him as he dis
played a voluminous correspondence that
he had Al credentials. just scanning
through a few Of the latter Gen. Hswley
looked up suddenly and exclaimed
'Humphl You've got plenty Of credentials;

Yet when a war comrade, rough and I'M

reviewing stand and In passing stretched up
his hand and grabbing that Of Gen. Hawley
drew Il down TO his lips and dropped a tear
on Il, without a word, as he kissed Il, the
act 40 moved the Senator-soldier that the
tears ooursed down his cheeks and he could
barely restrain his sobs.
His army connections formed some OF
the pleasantest associations Of his life, and
he was especially fond Of relating stories
Of the war.
Although he was far better known as an
orator dealing with public questions he was
also an After dinner speaker frequently
sought after. One Of his favorite' stories
that he used 20 tell AZ these gatherings re-
lated 10 one Of his visits to the South.
He was waiting in a train at junction
at noon when he noticed a oolored waiter
passing the car carrying aloft tray Of fried
chicken. Reckoning the waiter 10 him he
inquired before purchasing where the man
got the chicken.
The darky hesitated n moment and
then, putting his tray down, bent over
