pushed farther and farther from their
own territory. I felt some times that
they would be pushed to the Pacific
itself and finally showed of altogether
into the vast ocean. I made small
model. It was the first model of
'The End Of the Trail" and some
years later, when I was about 20, I
sculptured it for the Worlds Fair at
San Francisco"
CINCE that day Fraser's sculpture
has become known the world
over. Fortunate in having been born
the son of an understanding father
who did not insist upon his following
the paternal profession Of mechanical
engineer and railroad constructor,
from the first he pursued his natural
inclination with all the encourage
ment and assistance that are the
hope and dream of less fortunate
children. While still in his teens
Fraser was sent to the Art Institute
in Chicago, to which city his family
had moved. and there he studied.
When he was 20 he went to Paris
and won first prize at the American
Art Association there for the best
work in sculpture. Saint -Gaudens
was a juror in that competition and
asked the young student to assist
him on the Sherman statue which
he was then doing for the United
States. AS a result young Fraser re-
turned to the States and worked for
a year and half as Saint Gaudens'
assistant.
When the Sherman statue was fin
ished Fraser made his way to New
York City and began his career on
his own as a sculptor. For the st.
Louis Fair he modelled the equestrian
Indian, 18 feet high, and a 9-foot,
seated figure Of Thomas Jefferson.
Later. for the Court at Arden he was
commissioned to model the Hartman
fountain. During this period he also

In rapid succession he modelled
groups and figures that have become
famous-the life-size sarcophagus Of
Bishop Potter for the Cathedral of st.
John the Divine. the John Hay Me-
mortal for Cleveland, the Keep Monu-
ment of the Journey Through Life"
for the Rock Creek Cemetery in
Washington, D. c., the equestrian
statue END of the Trail" for the Fair
in San Francisco, a bust Of Theodore
Roosevelt while he was President, the
original Of which is placed on San
Juan hill In Cuba; the Alexander
Hamilton monument for the plaza in
front of the Treasury Building in
Washington, D. c., and two figures
one of Victory and the other Of
Canadian officer for the Winnipeg
Branch of the Bank of Montreal
that were won in an international
competition that included four Euro
pean sculptors, several Canadian and
two American sculptors. .
HIS statue Of John Ericsson, 80 feet
high, which now stands at the
right of the Lincoln Memorial in the
Mall in Washington, D. c., was un-
yelled by the Crown Prince of Sweden
and the sculptor was honored for this
work by Knighthood in the Order Of
yasa, presented by the King Of Swe-
den. Other famous groups by Fraser
include Pioneers" and ''Discoverers, +"
placed on the north pylons of the
Memorial Bridge in Chicago; the
Thomas jefferson Monument for the
State Capitol Building of Missouri in
Jefferson City; statues Of Lewis and
Clark for the same building; figure
representing Power for Niagara Falls;
four figures for the Elks Memorial
Building in Chicago; sarcophagus

whose mysteries were outlined 10 me
enthusiastically by the sculptor.
I'm thinking about Gallatin as I
work." Mr.. Fraser told me. working
out something. I'm to do a statue
of him to be set opposite that of
Hamilton that now stands on the
Treasury lawn" I felt, as he talked,
that the pediments he had done for
the Commerce Building and the
pediments recently completed for
the new Archives Building in the
Capital were among the sculptors
own favorite conceptions. He is to
execute, likewise, two figures for
the Supreme Court Building in Wash
ington.
While famous for bis sculpture Of
heroic proportions, Fraser has dis
tinguished himself in the art of the
medal. His collections are in the
Musee Rationale in Rome and the
Palais Beaux Arts in Brussels. He is
the recipient of the j. Sanford Saltus
Medal for the highest achievement in
the art of the medal and won two
gold meadls at the Worlds Fair in
San Francisco-one for the art of
the medal, the other for sculpture
in the round. Likewise he is the re-
cipient of the Architectural League
Medal. Among medals he has de-
signed and executed the st. Gaudens
is perhaps the best known; well
known, too, are the scent United
hn Dictire-1t;cnai
Service Medal ne designed for the
Navy.
THE simplicity and sincerity Of this
man who has enjoyed the honors
of the world and its recognition of his
genius impressed me anew as we went
again into the bright sunshine of the
afternoon for a final look at the
groups of Peace" and the Fruits Of
Peacetime." With that magnificent
Pegasus rearing his noble neck above
US, he broke gently into an admiring
phrase-"Look. he said, pointing
across the valley to where a swarm
Of bees was outlined against the
bright green of Autumn foliage.
there's a swarm of bees all flying off
somewhere together" In another mo-
ment he turned with a gratified smile,
That's a beautiful blue, there on
| the white, isn't it? It's so white it's
blue-do you see?" I did-the white
planes of the shoulders Of Pegasus
showed blue, so brilliantly white were
they in the sunlight. But, even as I
exclaimed, the fine, sensitive hands
of this great sculptor were pointing
out to me the deep azure of the sky
that hung over the Connecticut coun-
| tryside. Later, descending with me
the ivy-covered stone steps Of the
studios long terrace, he recited with
relish an amusing and simple tale of
his neighbors across the valley.
| OF his mind and his skill he con-
ceived Pegasus: now he could chuckle
over a neighbor's whimsies. That Is
greatness!

Cornerstone

And the same reasoning applies to the
corner stone of the White House, which
is quite likely deeply imbedded in the
earth-and not necessarily in the
northeast corner, either-for the Capi-
tol stone was laid in the southeast
corner of the building. In fact, the
White House stone might be anywhere
within its foundation walls and entirely
out Of sight.
A VERY early church corner stone
laying took place in this city
130 years ago, when st. Mary's Cath
olic Church, historically known as
Barry Chapel. was under construction
in the far southwestern part of the
city. However, the church seems to
have been too far distant from the
center of population of that day and
was soon abandoned and allowed to
decay. and even the date Of its erec-
ton was unknown until its corner stone
was found when the site for st. Domi-
MICS Church was being excavated. 1t
was preserved and is now imbedded in
the rear wall of one of the buildings
attached to that church, where today
one may read this inscription:
In the name of the blessed and
undivided Trinity. Amen. The 6rst
stone of a small Roman Catholic
Church is laid in the city of WASH
ington in the year Of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ, 1906, and dedi-
Gated to the Blessed Virgin Mary
under the title and name of st.
Mary's. Gloria in Excel Dec. Erected
by and at the charge of James Barry"
Harper, in his book before referred
to, mentions 10 cornerstone layings
in which the Masons of Washington
have taken part, and others have been
added since this book was printed.
In several of these ceremonies, Presi-
dents of the United States, including
washington. the first, and Roosevelt
the present Chief Executive, have
taken part.
But, perhaps the most unusual
events of this nature occurred on
January IL, 1886, when the corner
stone of jackson City was laid by
President Andrew Jackson.
The site of this city was some-
where near the south end of the
Highway Bridge, on what was then
known as Holmes Island. AS indi-
Gated, 1t was named for Andrew
