the business interests of the country
are hourly becoming more eXasporat-
ed at the fautastical and theoretical
conceptions of business problems held
By most politicians, whether they be
Democrats or Republicans. The aver
age business man to whom one speaks
would prefer to have Congress meet
once in ten years and State Legisla-
ture about once in twenty years. and
to adjourn the same day they meet.
A great many business men, though,
believe that the American people are
slowly coming to realize a sense of
the surfeit of politics which the coun-
try has been compelled to endure for
the past seven years.

FL 4OwE,s GREAT MOTTO.

Ed Howe, the old Atchison Globe
man, noted for funny paragraphs, is
now editing a little magazine on his
Potato Hill farm, near that city. He
does it for the fun of the thing. He
is something Of a practical joker Re
Gently he put forth a motto, since
notices are very popular in these later
days. and he worded it like unto this:
we must all learn to be absolute
with the absolute, infinite with the
infinite, yes one with the one"
It took. One man was carried off
his feet by the motto. He thought it
was the greatest thing in the world
and that it would regenerate mankind,
and mankind is always. we are told,
in need of regeneration. Had you
never written another thing" wrote
the enthusiast, your name should
pass to post Gritty among til, immortals
for the superb motto on the cover OF
your August number" The man was
not all words, either. He sent the
money for 100 extra copies, to dis
tribute among his friends, to the end
that the work of regeneration might
go on.
Mr.. Howe now says that he did not
know what the motto meant when he
wrote it, and he does not know now.
He merely expressed a modern mani
ty, just to see how it would take. And
it took. 81 can see nothing whatever
in the motto quoted" says Mr.. Howe.
81 do not know what it means. If
you see anything, if you pretend that
you understand the sentiment, then
you should take something for it."
One is inclined to agree with Mr..
Howe, that if some man should escape
from an asylum and issue tumble of
inanities. he would find a brood of fol
lowers, and in due time they might
even gather respectable religion
around his name. It beats the world

feeling Of great anxiety. What slow and
patient study! What groupings, what
failures even, before he could hope tc
| reproduce form with such power be.
fore he could in his turn express the
confused visions that surged within him.
and to give TO them not only shape, but
reality and style!
1t was not alone for his art that he
had to fight. He had to defend himself
against the enmity reused in some of
his classmates They had begun by MAX
ing fun of the Westerner, and ended by a
feeling of amazement and jealousy at the
rapidity of his progress, which they car
ried so far as to destroy his first statue.
But some warm friendships raised him
from the encouragement into which this
treatment threw him. Art amateurs pro-
cured for him work for which he was
well paid, and one fine day he found
himself possessed of a very modest sum,
which enabled him to start for Paris,
the Mecca of his dreams.
The medal, however, had its reverse
side. He did not know a word of
French, and the day of his arrival found
him wandering mournfully about the
streets of Paris, unable to make him
self understood by anybody. A lucky
chance took him toward evening to the
door of little hotel in the Latin Quar-
ter. There lived a young man who was
studying to prepare himself to teach mod
ern languages. This student, who was
named Hovelaque, and who is to-day
supervisor of the university, took a fancy
to the lad from the Western pralries and
found him lodging place. a studio, but
what a lodging and what a studio. A
shed which had been used as a hen
house. but which happened to be empty
for the moment. Through holes in the
roof rain or snow drifted upon the bed
of the inmate. Over his bed the new
ledger hung an awning of canvas which
protected him from these foundations
during the night. But these incOnvcn-
fences meant but little to him. He was
STEPPED in joy The National Ecole des
Beaux Arts opened it's doors to him. He
acquired what he needed in few months
and he was soon master of his technique.
Then came an occasional order from
an American art lover, which helped him
through. although there were some Pc
RODS of dire want. But what did that
matter? Others had suffered before him
and there was the future full of hope.
His hopes one by one were realized.
First. the salon of the Societe Rationale
received his work. Then the critics be-
gan to discuss and praise it, thus call
ing it to the attention of the public.
Then the American press caught up
these favorable impressions and shared
them with their readers. Then came in
NitatiOns to exhibit his work, and some
of il was bought by museums
Feeling that the moment was favor
able, Barnard returned to America and

GEORGE GRAY BARNARD WINS:
FRENCH CRITIC PAYS TRIBUTE

| The commission in charge of the con-
struction of the new State capitol build

order. 1t was for the two colossal groups
unveiled yesterday.
Where should he execute this work
In America? No; impossible! He fell
that in order to do justice to the greai
work he had in hand he must live in ar
atmosphere of art such as could not bt
found in America, and so Barnard re,
turned to us.
Such an establishment as he needed
would cost too much in Paris. He
searched the suburbs and finally settled
! in Moret. There he went feverishly t.
work.
When the first group was completed he
sent photographs of 1t to Harrisburg
He was congratulated and was urged tC
put the work into marble at once.
Up to this time he had received his
payments regularly and nothing led him
to suspect that the terms Of his contract
would not be fulfilled to the letter. He
started for Italy, visited the quarrles OF
Carrara and gave the order for his mar

pleted in two and half years, the prac-
titioners meantime putting the first group

But the money no longer came. What
could be the matter? He received nc
reply to his letters asking for an expla-
nation, so in great anxiety Barnard sail
ed for America only to find affairs in a
worse condition than he had anticipated,
and he returned to his work in state
of great discours cement.
All of a sudden the papers announced
that the architect had spent fabulous
sums in the construction of the build
ing; that he could not furnish vouchers
for the expenditures made, and that a
tria6 was pending. Barnard, for a time
overcome by these revelations, soon took
heart again. The American press sup

at Moret the sculptor obstinately, fever
ishly pursued his task.
Final Success.
The agitation in favor of the sculp-
tor set many a person thinking. The
architect who had been under suspicion
for some time was brought to trial and
finally convicted of theft by the courts
of Pennsylvania, while public opinion
was demanding loudly that Barnard
should receive his just recognition and
his losses made good.
The committee organized in Barnard S
behalf and counting among its members
some of the leading names in the in
dustrial. financial, scientific, and literary
world, met for the time the expense of
the public exhibition of his work in
Paris and prepared a triumphal return
for the sculptor. who had so stOically
supported his many trials.
