Ingalls,, of which Congress ordered 16,OO0 copies published and distributed. It is consid- cred the best piece of portraiture that MT. Niehaus has done, and Is one of the characteristic works in the capitol That Is not so bad as 1t might have been," complacently replied the sighted genius. we sculptors are used to some pretty hard knocks. The hardest one that I ever had was when the Garfield statue was un- yelled in Cincinnati, which, by the way, Is my home city. l had been invited by the committee in charge of the arrange ments to ride In one of the carriages in the procession, but did not think would quite like that, so I sauntered down to where the statue was. I found that l had forgotten my card to the speakers stand, and when went Hear to the statue l was ordered away by a policeman. 1 kept up my inspection and when the fel- low got too insistent I told him quietly who I was. He laughed at me, got rather impudent, and when I refused to move he uplifted his club to strike me. He was only prevented from doing so by the in- reference of a friend who had been watching the proceedings. But for the timely, interference I might have landed in jail for looking at my own work.
