the formation at Lincoln of me-

that will be welcomed most, and
there are so many rich collectors
in the United States who have in
their possession manuscripts that
would rightfully, on grounds of
sentiment, go to the Lincoln COL

abides with American critics, at

shown by the fine study of the

When Saint -Gaudens' statue Of
Farragut was still in the studio
and had not been set up where
it now stands overlooking New
York City's teeming throngs a
lady called on the sculptor and,
in due time, was shown the bronze
portrait of the admiral who won
enduring fame in the civil war.
She went away and a friend of
Saint-Gaudens, who temporarily
had withdrawn from the studio,
returned and found the sculptor
whistling and unusually happy.
She must have been pleased with
the statue, you are SO gay said
the friend. MOT She did not
like it. If she had I would have
known it was bad" was the reply.
So much depends upon the critic,
as to whether or not criticism
shall be needed. Charming once
said: ut is not enough to Judge
of people by their actions; you
must judge of actions by their
people," Saint-Gaudens knew
this.-Exchange.
