Assisting Merrill Gage In Mod
cling Lincoln Bust.
Wins HOnOrs in Unusual Abil.
ity and Talent in Il. C.
Boy Adopted as an Orphan at
the Age of 8.

Five years ago Frank Porter of
Kansas City was an orphan, without
name, in the state home at Atcfison.
Today in Topeka. at IA years. he is as
sisting Merrill Gage in modelling
bust of Abraham Lincoln which will
be placed in the state house. The
distinction is the result Of talent the
boy has shown during his five
years residence in Kansas City, as an
expert in modelling, drawing and
sketching and as a musician of I'M
usual ability.
Five years ago Mrs. Florence Porter
went to the orphans home to adopt
child. Her attention was drawn to
Frank. an unusually bright appearing
boy. years old. He was only too glad
to find mother.
The boy was taken to Kansas City
and his education was begun. He
proved to be an apt scholar. But
other things aside from the regular
school work interested him.
Sewing Machine Inspired.
One evening, running his finger
over the carved design of a sewing
machine, he said: Mother, if I had
one of those burning sets, I could
make that myself"
Mrs. Porter bought the set in the
on articles that he sold.
While looking over his music reader
one evening after school, he COM
planned that he could not understand
one part.
Taking him to the piano. Mrs. Por-
ter explained the difficult portion.
Soon he was playing 1t. His interest
did not stop there. He wanted more
music. Thinking that he must have
same talent. he was taken to the con-
Servatory of music to ascertain his
ability. He entered in the sixth grade.
BY spring he had won a medal, a GER
tificate and a pin for practicing. The
required time for practice was an
hour and half, but Frank Porter
spent four hours at the piano.
Captured Three Ribbons.
About this time the boys leg was
broken in a school accident. He was
not able to return for seven months
and the time had to be filled in some
| way. So he began sketching persons
around the house. He showed so
marked ability that Mrs. Porter en-
tered him as a pupil at the Fine Arts
institute. He was a pupil there six
weeks and at the end of that time, in
an exhibit there in a large class, cap
tured three blue ribbons on his draw
ings.
| However, he could not sketch all
| the time. He wanted something new
10 conquer his dQOpLeO InOIneF one
day came in with some potter'S clay.
Frank was to make a model and she
was not to see it until entirely COM
pleted. By the end of the afternoon
he had modelled a horse so true TO life
that Mrs. Porter again sought some
authority on his work.
That winter he was given instruc-
ton and his work was criticised by a
regular sculptor. Finally Frank was
enrolled as pupil in a fine arts in
stitute.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Gage went to
Kansas City to give the class addition
al instruction. He became a friend of
little Frank Porter. The class was at
work on model-the portrayal of
'Heroisrn.' In the final exhibit Frank
won second honorable mention
When Mr.. age prepared to leave
for Topeka, he invited Frank to visit
him. Frank is now assisting in model
| ing the bust.

we would be better off today.
These gentlemen of course do not expect
the Republican party but they expect to be
