WAS POOR BOY.

Augustus St. Gaudens, whose father
was French, whose mother was Irish,
came TO this country an infant in 1Sfs.
I5ls father was a shoemaker. Finances
were limited, and Augustus received the
usual education of the poor boy in the
public schools of New York. His fond
ness for drawing. his ability at an early
age so impressed a patron of his father,
that he was persuaded 10 apprentice the
boy TO a cameo cutter in New York,
named Avet. At nights he studied draw
ing in Cooper Institute, and later be
came a pupil iu tn National Academy
Of Design. In 1861 he visited Paris and
supported himself ss a cameo cutter,
improving all Of his spare time as
student in the ECOle dCs BeauN Arts.
His student days ended, his return 10
New York commenced another period
Of struggle inteTspersed with periods of
hope and disappOintn ent His road TO
but his perseverance finally surmoUnted
all obstacles.

Augustus st. Gaudens.

COMPREHENSIVE EXHIBIT.
The exhibition Of works Of St Gaudens
Will be the most comprehensive Collec-
tIon Of his works ever placed on eZhi-
bitiOn. While the memorial exhibition
arranged by the Metropolitan Museum
OF Art earlier IN the season OF 1918, was
at that time considered a remarkable
collection Of the sculptural works Of a
single artist, the coming exhibition,
prOdting by the experience Of the form
er exhibition, wiz include not only all
Of the important examples OF the New
York exhibition, but many art objects
not at that time available for cNhib-
tiOn purposes.
Among the important works repre-
sentod by casts and reductions, viii be
found the statue Of Deacon Samuel
Chaplin. known as "The Puritan, from
the statue in Springfield. Mass. a type
OF the stern, unbendiHg men whose de-
voii0n TO religious convictions made
them not only invIncible but int0lerant.
The sherman statue from Central Park,
New lOrz, IS a rare expression OF senlI-
ment in an equestrian statue, ln which
General Sherman with barred head Is
being guided by "a winged victory. The
statue OF Lincoln, from Lincoln PARK,
Chicago, shows. IN a standing figure or

ing heart. aui q great purpose. In rhe
more aTt-El.c and mysterious force OF
the artist IS that memorable Adams NE
mortal from Rock Creek Cemetery.
Among his portrait WOTks VIII be
found his portrait bust of John Hay,
simple and conventional IN cOmpOsllious
as such work is from necessity. but
ueS ertheless powerful IN his imagina-
tive sculpture will be found the notable
Amor Caritas, from the original by
81 Gaudans "a the Luxembourg. These
are but z few Of his prominent works.

early art works while ne followed the

and portraits in high and lOT relief.

PUBLIC OPINION
To THE PUBLIC:

To THE PUBLIC:
 We, the members of the Canaan Girls Basketball Team. in closing our first season. wish to set few matters right before the public of the surrounding towns. as we'll as of our own.
 For the courteous patronage given us by our towns people, we return our thanks, and we would be glad to aid, financially, any cause for the advance ment of our town, were we in position to do so. AS a matter of fact, the sum realized from our seasons work has not been sufficient to cover the expenses in- cured by the practice, equipment and suits.
 We wish to extend our thanks to our coach, Mir. Ivanhoe Scott, for his efficient work in our interests.
 For the game, we endeavored to play teams of our own standing. This was done in every case except in that of the Winsted game, when our opponents were players of more than one season.
 Only relations of the most pleasant character exist or have existed in the minds of our team towards our neigh boring teams, or those in any way con- nected with them.
 In closing we wish to say that we think the unpleasant criticism appearing in last weeks NEWS, under non-de- plume of "Baldy Bemis' questionable wit of the Sharon referee. does not voice the sentiments of our team. On the contrary, the discourtesy shown the Sharon team, their referee, and all women of tenement, is resented by the members of THE CANAAN GIRLS
 BASKETBALL TEAM.

With the poultry packed in the ball and with legs and heads of chickens sticking out of the mass it kept on rolling and brought up with q slam against rock, jarring the feathers off the chickens and causing them to freeze to death.

WEALTHY MAN REACHED PITTS
BURG IN HIS uNDERsHiRT.
Sneak Thief Completely Cleaned Out
the Berth of William E. McMll-
Ian, and He Couldn't Borrow
Pair of Pants.

Pittsburg, Pa.-William L. McMil-
Ian, president Of the Mcmillan Lum-
Der company, Chicago and Baltimore.
was the victim of perhaps the most
unique, certainly the meanest sneak
thief who ever entered a Pullman car
While en- route from Baltimore to
Pittsburg over the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad the thief stole every stitch
of clothing possessed by Mr.. Mcmillan
while the latter slept. The lumber
king. who weighs 200 pounds, had re-
tired wearing only little dinky ath-
lctic undershirt.
He had this when he was walked,
and in addition he had been left his
fancy vest, a great, gaudy affair. Even
his shoes and socks, as we'll as his roll
of money-$250-and about $250 In
jewelry, was gone. Nor did he have
his hat.
Mcmillan set the porters and train
crew at work to find clothing, think
ing that some joker friend had taken
il. but It was not to be found. The
train had made frequent stops In the
night, and it is supposed that at one
of the stops the sneak thief got on
board and carried off Mr.. McMillan's
wardrobe without waiting to sort
things out.
The plight of Mcmillan, however,
was more pitiful than would at first
appear, as the train was racing into
Pittsburg at great speed and there
was not a man on the train who
weighed over 140 pounds, and so the
question of borrowing a pair of pants
for Mr.. McMillan's 200 pounds seemed
beyond question.
Finally the Pullrsan conductor, who
weighed 1877 pounds, announced that
he had three pairs Of extra trousers
in a locker Mr.. Mcmillan split two
of the pairs trying to get into them,
even partly, but the third pair held
good, and, aided by sheet kindly
contributed by the porter, the lumber
king was enabled to reach the bag
gage shed of the police station, where
he got q chance to telephone home for
aid.
81 am a peaceable man and / don't
want to meet the man who stole my
Clothes" said Mr. Mcmillan. IF do
I'm afraid I'll kill him. l Travelled
about $4,000 miles in the last IS
months. but never had a trick like
that played on me before.
ut don't look good to come racing
into a big city with nothing on but a
short undershirt and fancy vest, and
a lot of splinter weights into whose
trousers you couldn't get one leg of
fering you advice"
