piece of sculpture that had
been erected in the public
square, the Exeter War Me-

The local Judge. one OF
Exeter's oldest citizens, was
proud of the town with its
clean shady street, bordered
with lovely elms Interviewing
overheada and casting dancing
shadows. The village streets
were lined with white picket
fences and friendly gates.
Having lived SO many years In
this. quaint New England
town, with its white church
towers and many marks Of
yesteryears. where the curfew
still rings at 9 o'clock in the
evening, he knew its history
and told us many interesting
and intimate legends and
stories about the men who
built 1t.
Daniel Chester French,
reared In an atmosphere OF
love and culture, dignity and
beauty favorable to the de-
velopment of a sensitive
poetic nature, became one OF
Americas foremost sculptors.
His neighbors and friends
were the Lowells, Alcotts,
Emersons, Longfellows, the
Daniel Websters and Whit
tiers. Perhaps it was from
this association with these
minds that the heads In his
sculptured works received
their striking fineness. His
ideals were the highest and
best; he was American to the

core. Among his hundred or
more pieces of sculpture are
1.-THE Minute Man" at Con-
cord, Mass; the colossal
statue of Abraham Lincoln in
the Lincoln Memorial and
the bronze group at Gallaudet
College portraying DR.. T. H.
Gallaudet and his first deaf
mute pupil.
Henry Flagg French. the
father of this great Amer
lean sculptor was a New
England Judge, who later
became Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury. He. too.
loved the town and was
not only instrumental In the
planting of the elms on the
streets of Exeter, but was
founder of the public library
there.
Mrs. Daniel Chester French,
in her book, Memories of a
Sculptor's Wife," tells about
Daniels first attempt-which
showed his talent. He and
his young friends were seated
around the fireplace one eve
ming eating raw turnips when
he with his penknife carved
a frog garbed in a frock coat.
He called 1t 1.-THE Frog That
Would A Courting Co." When
his mother. Anne Richardson
French, a rare and sympa-
thetic soul, saw it she ex-
claimed, Dan, that Is your
career"
AS I sketched this rugged
and most beautiful OF elms,
I thought Of the wholesome
life Of the New Englander as
he lived 1t a hundred years
ago.
