being target to be shot at from the culver of
envy"
During the latter part of Mrs Hoxies life
she executed two other statues which are now
in Statuary Hall in the Capitol. One Is of the
Cherokee Indian, Sequoya, for the State Of
Oklahoma, and the other is Gov. Kirkwood Of
Iowa. Mrs. Hoxie died in Washington, Novem-
Der 20, 1914. Over her grave in Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery is q bronze reproduction Of
one of her most famous statues, "Sappho," the
original Of which is in the National Art Gal
lery.
ON the gallery floor of the Senate wing Of the
Capitol is a marble bust Of Lincoln, which
was also done by q woman sculptures, MRS.
Sarah Fischer Ames, who was the wife OF
portrait painter. Mrs. AmeS served her coun-
try o nurse in the Civil War and was at
one time in charge of the hospital in the Capt
toll. She was personally acquainted with Prest-
dent Lincoln, and although the Ames bust Is
not as widely known rs the Winnie Ream statue.
it is a splendid piece of work. The head 10
larger than life and the eyes seem to look
straight at one. The Government paid Mrs.
Ames 1000 for this notable work Of art.
An accident has apparently befallen this
sculpture at some time, for the marble Is broken
on the left side of the head. It has been
mended, but the break is still visible The bust
is of pure white marble and it rests on q beau
tiful pedestal of Scotch granite, which was do
mated to our Government by scotch ADMIRERS
of the martyred President. The black and tan
notified granite is exquistely chiseled and pol
ished until it looks like glazed pottery.
The colossal head of Lincoln in the rotunda
of the Capital is by Gutzon Borglum. This in
teresting work was presented to the Govern
ment April 16. 1908, by Eugene Meyer, jr., of
New York The head is not entirely cut from
the mass of marble. Since Borglum was born
on March IS, 1867, he never knew Lincoln yet
he portrays him with power and understand
ing that is astounding. The Borglum statue
might have been called Grief" because of its
expression of profound sorrow. The head
seems bowed from WEAKNESS and care and the
eyes laden with an infinite sadness.
In the Senate wing of the Capitol hangs q
portrait of Lincoln by Freeman Thorp, which
was painted from a pencil sketch the artist
made from life and from vivid recollections Of
the martyred President.

and perhaps that is why she modelled the
President with that mfathomable sadness in
his eyes. He used to relax and talk to the
young girl about his son, and sometimes he
would say to her with tears in his eyes, you

was nearly done. Lincoln complimented the
artist on the likeness. Then that grim tragedy
occurred-Lincoln was assassinated.
COME time after Lincolns death, when Con-
gress desired a statue of him for the Capt.
toll Winnie Ream entered her model in COM

cause the likeness surpassed all others in the

dent. They liked it so well that Congress paid
