Art. Lincoln portraits? Yes, sew
eral. First, the head painted from
life in 1861, by George II. Story, an
American artist. born in 1885, and
still active in New York. This fine
picture was gift to the National
Gallery from it's good friend, Mrs.
r. II. Hartman. who has concurred
with the artist in giving permission
for it's use with our story, as the
painting is copyrighted.
This picture is really a triumph
OF art" says Or. William II.
Holmes, director of the National
Gallery. Lincoln, as everyone
knows. was really a homely man,
a homely sort OF character. but Mr..
story has actually preserved his
type and yet presented him as a
handsome man.
When the young artist, George
II. Story. came to Washington in
1867 he chanced to take a studio in
the same building as Brady's pho.
tograph "parlor," on the corner OF
Seventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue. When important sitters ap.
peared. Mr. Story was often called
in to pose them. This happened
with Lincoln. who arrived for the

inaugural in 1861 and came to
Brady for a photograph.
When I walked into the studio
remembers Mr.. Story, Lincoln was
carelessly seated at a table walt
ing to be posed. He did not utter
a word and he seemed absolutely un-
conscious. of all that was going on
about him, He showed that he was
a man who was overwhelmed with
anxiety, and care. and fatigue.
REFUSED TO POSE o.
THE PRESIDENT. '
I'm those days the photographer
knew but one pose for a man to
assume who was having his picture
taken. He must stand bolt upright,
with one hand on table and the
other thrust into the breast Of his
coat. II was laughable but II was
the custom Of the day.
They wanted me to pose Lin
coin.
Pose hlmr ! cried. NO, bring the
camera at once
II saw that In his unconscious pose
a great picture might be taken"
Thus Lincoln was photographed in

BORGLUMS GREAT
PORTRAIT BUST.
Turn once more to the Capitol and
another Lincoln portrait. greatest
Of all perhaps, not only here. but as
yet achieved in art, the gigantic
marble sculptured face by Gutzoa
Borglum, an American artist OF
Swedish descent, born and reared in
the West, and now for many years
presiding over a studio in New York.
Borglum's famous group in the Met
ropolitan Gallery of New York is
well knowwn, 1.-THE Mares of Dio-
medes." a pack of spirited western
animals. a nude figure riding ono
Of them.
Look at this colossal head Of the
great President, and say IL Borglum
has not sought to portray the mans
monumental character.
Possibly this Lincoln head, pre-.
sented to Congress by Eugene Meyer.
jr.. Of New York, is not yet fully
understood. Americans hurry by
things too rapidly. Fey visitors in
the rotunda are lingering about this
Lincoln head. One American trav-
eler remarked that she did not see
why II had to be made so large, so
out of proportion to everything else,
such an unreasonable size! But art
is not reasonable-it is both emotion
al and intellectual. a Promethean
fire caught somehow from the gods.
PAINTING APPROVED
BY THE SUBJECT.
Now for the Lincoln painting in
the Capitol. 1t is an immense framed
canvas, called THE Proclamation of
Emancipation" picturing Lincoln
and his Cabinet. 1t hangs on the
stairway Of the House side. Smith d.
Fry, historian of the Capitol. tells
us: TT is the only picture OF Abra-
ham Lincoln which had the APP
proval OF Lincoln himself"
This old work, painted by Frank q.
Carpenter, was for many years lcet
sight Of, but II was traced through
the efforts of Mrs. Elizabeth Thomp-
son, of Hartford, Conn, who spent
nearly $4,000 in purchasing it and
having II suitably framed. in a gild-
ed black walnut, after which she
presented 1t to Congress. on Lincoln's
Birthday, OF course, February ~,
1873. As an historical picture, II is
Of interest. though it's artistic merit
may be questioned.
Other Lincoln portraits at the
Capitol are the head by Freeman
Thorp. in the Senate corridor, and
The Washington times., 1921-10-23

to paint Lincoln portrait. In June
the opportunity occurred in a COM
mission, but the President was too
busy to give the sittings, except in
his office while he transacted busi-
ness. Thus Mr.. Story painted.
II was admitted to the large room
on the second floor of the White
House, opening onto the Potomac"
he said. THE President, who was
seated. nodded to me and beckoned
to a chair. His face was in the
shadow and he was constantly in
motion, so I could not make any
very successful sketches for my
work. 1t was watching him on those
afternoons, however, that gave me
a mental sketch of the man which
enabled me later, with the aid of
photographs. to paint by portrait to
fill the commission"
OF this first picture the artist has
lost all trace, but he afterward paint
ed four other portraits of Lincoln,
of which one was purchased by Mrs.
e. II. Hartman and given by her
to the National Gallery OF Art. An
other is in the private office of a
prominent Fifth avenue banker, a
third has recently been sold to
Henry Huntington, the collector Of
Los Angeles, while the fourth is
still in Mr.. Story's possession.
CHICAGO STATUE
HEROIC SIZE.
Another Lincoln In the National
Gallery1s the reduced copy in bronze
of the favorite st. Gaudens standing
figure. lent by Mrs. John Hay. The
original. in heroic size, is in Lincoln
Park, Chicago. AS everyone re-
calls. this was the Lincoln statue
eventually chosen for erection in
London. A heroic head Of the same
size as the original. in Chicago, lent
to us by Mrs. st. Gsudens. may be
found in the rotunda Of the National
Museum.
Turning to the old Smithsonian
Building, in the division OF graphic
arts, in a new exhibit illustrating
the development of the photograv-
ure from 1895 TO date, various Lin
coin pictures may be seen.
Incredible as It may seem, there is
not a single Lincoln portrait to be
found on exhibition in the Corcoran
Gallery OF Art, though why this is
so the guards are unable to explain
when visitors. so they say, often ask
them the question.

SOL TESTING WEEK
TO BEGIN On APRIL |
Farmers All Over State To Reap
Benefit CT Free Analysis OF
Their Lands
SHOULD SUBMIT SAMPLES

COLLEGE PARK. ND. March 20
The week Of April 4 has been desig-
mated as Soil Testing Week" In Mary
land by the soil department Of the
University Of Maryland Experiment
Station and BY the county agents. Dur
Ing thats period every farmer in the
State will have an opportunity 10 Sc
cure a free soil analysis showing the
lime requirements of any fields which
he desires to have tested.
From the experiences OF last year
the specialists OF the soil department
are able to point out number Of
rather common mistakes which farm
ers make In submitting soil samples.
For instance, last year some samples
were received. packed in muslin bags
from which the tags had been torn
in the mail To correct this the spe-
ciaiists recommend thar the number
OF the field from which the sample is
taken together with the sender's name
and address be written on slip Of
paper and inciosed with the soil. just
last week i've samples of soil care
fully packed in baking powder cans
arrived at the Experiment Station. The
lid OF the box in which the samples
were inclosed, however. had been torn
and with 1t went the name and adj
dress of the sender IL the name and
the address OF the sender had been
incIosed with each sample Of soil, the
specialists would still have been able
to advise this farmer OF the results
of the tests
Another rather common mistake il
the packing of wet soil in paper bags
or cardboard boxes. Specialists poini
out that this should never be done
and that the soil either should be dried
or packed in tin cans or cloth bags
Specialists also suggest that If tbs
soil is thoroughly mixed a haif-pint il
sufficient quantity for testing.
The following directions should b
taken in taking soil samples:
With spade or shovel dig a square
hole to the depth of about six inches
lay a piece OF clean paper in tht
bottom Of the hole and then shave q
thin slice from one side OF the hole
allowing the soil to fall on the paper
Lift the paper and soil slice from the
hole and proceed to another place III
