day. He Is called upon to use keen
judgment. The passing Of a crowd
during the morning, noon or night
rush hours may not necessarily
mean that the point at which he
stands would be a good site for the
cigar business, even though the pc
destrians whom he counts include
a large proportion Of smokers. Such
q crowd may be Of the .hasty kind
which has no time to enter a shop
in the rush between the subway and
place of employment. Hence, the
more or less leisurely pedestrian
crowds are considered the best buy
ers. But in the long run the sta
tistics are what count. The as
sumption is that smokers never
carry a great supply of their needs
and are likely to buy at the nearest
place when the desire for a smoke
strikes them.
1t is easy enough for the counter
to. record the number of men who
pass him actually smoking. But
how does he learn the proportion of
smokers among those who are not
smoking? Experience has taught
him to tell cigarette smoker at a
glance by looking at his fingers.
Then he sees cigars and pines stick
ing out of mems pockets. A few
keen glances at q passing crowd
every day for a week give him q
pretty accurate lineup Of the pro-
portion of possible patrons.
1t is rarely that concern, having
acted on the conclusions Of one of
these counters, sets up a new store
and then finds that the business was
not what it was estimated to be. The
result is that the big concerns never
open a store in a doubtful locality
without first having their observer
on the job. The sites on Broadway,
Fifth Avenue and other thorough

rived that mingling Of the Latin
sense Of form with a Celtic depth of
sentiment which was so markedly
characteristic of his genius.
From 1875 to 1877 he had a
studio in New York, where he seems
to have executed some Of his earli-
est portrait reliefs. The Farragut
was completed and exhibited in the
plaster at the Salon Of 1880, and
from that time his success was as
sured. He returned to New York in
1880, and in 1881 he opened the stu
dio in Thirty-sixth Street, where he
remained for sixteen years and
where so many Of his greatest works
were executed. From that studio
came many of his exquisite portraits
in relief, his caryatides and angelic
figures, such as those for the Nor
gan tomb, the great statues of Lin
coin and Chaplin, the Shaw Memori-
al and the Adams Memorial, and the
preliminary work of the great eques-
trian monument to General Sher-
man.

thetic imagination that gave him his

such precautions, because the capac-
lty for business there is limited only
by the availability of sites.

ers requires pair of quick eyes and

a half dozen men may be passing
IN group. Immediately scan their
lips to see whether they are smoking.
Then L glance at their fingers. That
determines whether they are actually
smoking or not If two out Of a
group of five are smoking my right
hand records it on the counter.
Meantime l am looking for evidence
on the other three men. If they are
smokers who do not happen to be
smoking at that particular time l
usually determine this by looking at
their fingers. Nicotine stains mark
them for smokers at once. Cigars,
pipe or the strings of a bag of
tobacco sticking out Of pocket are
another indication that they smoke.
If all these evidences are lacking
put them down for non-smokers. A
man with clean white fingers and no
tobacco In his pockets is a rare
human these days.
"Of women smokers take no
count. They are numerous, but the
haoit among them is not yet suffl-
GENTLY sanctioned by society to en-
bolden them. Women usually wear
gloves and that prevents my scruti-
nlzlng their fingers for nicotine
stains, which they usually prevent,
anyway, by the use Of cigarette
holders. Then, Of course, they do
not have cigarette boxes sticking out
OF their pockets. In recent years
women have become less tinid about
going into shops and buying Gig
arettes."

Counting Smokers Newest Thing in Jobs

LIVERY fifth man who passes
II corner Of Fifth Avenue
and Forty-second Street, day
or night, carries IN his mouth
cigar, cigarette or a pipe. Only
about one in fifty has a pipe, while
there are two cigarette smok-
ers to every cigar smoker. Of every
Tour men who pass the corner not
smoking two are occasional smokers,
or habitual smokers who do not
happen to be smoking while going
past the corner.
These statistics were compiled by
man whose job it Is to stand on
the corner eight hours a day and
make the observations. He does not
stand there every day, but every
once IN a while. When the head of
big cigar store system, which
operates a chain of stores, wants to
know how the smoking industry is
getting along an observer places
~almself on this or some other busy
corner and with mechanical count
recorder in each hand-one for the
smokers and one for the non-smokers
begins to take down the figures.

Found 1t s'More Suitable"
The text of the resolution of the
English commissions at the time the
announcement was made stated that
"the Saint-Gaudens work was the
most suitable for the chosen site at
Westminster"
Funds were raised for the casting
of the statue of Lincoln by Saint
Gaudens through private sources
and by friends and admirers of the
artist, and a representative of the
Academy discussed the matter in
full with Mrs. Augustus Saint -Gau-
dens, widow Of the sculptor, at
Windsor, VT.
The statue, which was cast In
bronze by the Gorham Company, of
New York, was transported gratu
itously across the Atlantic by the
Cunard Steamship Company.
The pedestal for the Saint -Gau-
dens Lincoln was designed by
Messrs. McKin, Mead & White,
architects, of New York City, and is
composed Of gray granite, with
stars on each side. It is about IA
feet 6 inches in height, and the to-
tai height of the figure and pedestal
will be about 25 feet 10 inches.

America; and I do not think it is

Aspect, the home Of saint-Gaudens
in Cornish, has recently been incor-
porated, including the large studio
and the smaller one. Both Of these
studios contain many interesting ex-
amples of the distinguished sculp-

Mrs. Saint-Gaudens, widow of the
sculptor, and his son, Homer Saint

Sculptor's Chair at Cornish
A recent visitor to Cornish and
the Saint-Gaudens home, Aspect,
states that the place at the family
table formerly occupied by the
sculptor is always reserved every
day, and as a custom the parting
guest is honored by sitting in Saint
Gaudens chair. This chair is re-
served, so it is said, for honored
guests only. The one who related
this account of his visit to Cornish
to the writer was so honored.

Jerry McManus, whom I met on

he hadn't seen a single soul he knew
since he quit the Partisan Carnival
company, and it is his impression
that the boys either have died, gone

"In another way, however, I see
in the vast changes that have taken
place great benefit to the legitimate
tourist who used to come annually
from the West to see New York and
who never saw it.
