The Spirit of the Fight.

Recently there died in poverty and
neglect an artist known to but few
personally, but known to thousands
by his canvas "Custers Last Stand.'
John Mulvaney had the longing which
comes to many a novice to put into
lines the spirit of a fight. This is not
an easy thing to do-in fact, it is next
to impossible, like that of putting Nj
agara within the limits of painting.
Almost every American has seen in
some form or other the Revolutionary
piece Esprit of '76" Shirt sleeve de-
termination is the message the artist
has given, and no one who cares for
the message will be concerned about
the art. Mulvaney put spirit into a
few faces and figures in his picture,
and 1t went home to the heart of the
soldiers of the country. Some day,
when Custer becomes a tradition and
men, women and children want to see
the spirit of the plains they may find
1t on Mulvaney's one famous canvas.
A battle really cannot be depicted, but
face may be painted with the fervor
of battle upon it, and this touch makes
clusters Last Stand" eloquent as
souvenir of American warfare.
