AMERICAN SPHINX IS CHISEIWI) "

« ■' "'W AS America created a sphinx? A great concrete statue cemente d into the £»'./ solid rock on the banks of the Rock rivI / er near Oregon. 111., \jliiiii' ’’has been built by Lorado Taft, the sculptor, with every care that modern engineering can,take to make it as permanent as the Pyramids and other famous landmarks of the ages. By hts method of applying the concrete Mr. Taft bids fair to accomplish his purpose. The statue, erected to commemorate the American Indian, represents Black Hawk, chief of the Sacs and Foxes, standing with folded arms, looking down the picturesque valley of the Rock river. The figure is of noble proportions, being fifty feet in height, and crowns the top of a bluff 250 feet above the swirling waters of the river The- claim of the statue to fame rests in three things: First', any one who runs—even those who run in automobiles —may read its message. As those who are rushing by in autos and steam cars and motor boats stop or turn to look it inevitably recalls the former occupancy by the red men of the places they are now in. Then the statue’s great size places It on a scale with the Goddess of Liberty in New Pork harbor and the great statue of “The Pilgrim" on the New England coast. » Its third and greatest claim to fame ■ Is that it is built to be permanent, ■ and it is believed that it will outlast the sphinx, the Pyramids and the stones erected by the Druids. It is utilitarian concrete which it Is hoped will make the statue of Black Hawk overtake the Sphinx in age by enduring after time has effaced that grim figure. The statue! was three years in process of making I and represents a new era in concrete i construction as applied to the art of sculpture. While fountains and pergolas and temporary figures for exhibitions have been made of concrete In the past, nothing approaching in ■ magnitude or purpose the present piece of work has ever before been ; ■attempted with this material. It was ; a labor of love with the sculptor, who ■ bore all the expense himself. Behind the buildihg of the Black Hawjc statue lies an interesting story. I A few years ago Mr. Taft was watch- ■ ing some workmen build a concrete' chimney at the Chicago Art Institute. ! and there came to him his great idea of the means for making an enduring statue. With the process in mind it was not long until an adequate subject presented itself. For fifteen years Mr. Taft has had his summer home and studio at Engle’s Nest Camp, near Oregon, the summer seat of the Chicago art colony. Standing for the hundredth time at the highest point of the cliff he never failed to remember that it was from here that Black Hawk was finally driven out of Illinois.. So he decided to bring back the famous Indian chief, and now’ in concrete Black ■ Hawk again surveys his former domain, with an air of “immutable disdain," as one artist has put it. Black Hawk and his tribes fought on the English side in the War of 1812. He saw sooner than other chiefs that the whites would take all the Indian’s hunting grounds from : him. He tried everything from war i to treaties to check the whites’ ad- : vance. As he grew old he became : more attached to his home along the Rock river and fought against removal to the lowa reservation by the government. He even tried living in peace the whites, but he had achieved such a reputation that depredations that any Indians committed were laid at his tepee door. Finally he and his people were driven across the Missisippi by LTncle Sam’s soldiers. After that, as an old man, he petitioned the government that he might come back and view his old domains on the Rock river Many members of the tribe were brought with him, and suddenly there was panic among the whites. Whether it was intentional from the first on the part of the Indians or the result of suspicion, a war was precipitated; Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis both fdught with the whites and Black Hawk was made a prisoner. It is characteristic of Mr. Taft that ■when he went about what he hopes •will be his most enduring work in a I material way he started with as little fuss as if it were a small matter. Silently and surely the work advanced as befits in character the approach of an Indian. Even the sculptor smiles, at his work as if it were a conceit of the moment instead of the project of a lifetime, and partly in hiding his pleasure in the work. Mr. Taft did not study any one type

When a wind and rain storm was at its height recently a man whose umbrella had been wrecked took shelter in a New York bookstore where old, second-hand volumes form the greatest part of the stock in trade.

j or race of Indians in modeling the I Black Hawk statue. It is a composite ■ of the Fox and the Sacs, the Sioux ' and the Mohawks, and was intended I to represent the general Indian per-1 sonalitv. All the usual Indian trappings.Quch as the feathers and the buckskin, have been left off. There is even a suggestion of the old Roman I in the face, which was necessary to ! make it suggest a spirit unconquered while still the conquered race. The head and profile and folded j arms appear in perfect detail as they 1 are outlined against the sky and fori est from many viewpoints around the j country. On a clear day, when the ' leaves are off the trees, the statue is I visible at a distance of twenty miles The exact site was selected after much experiment. First a rough twenty-foot model was made and set ! up, but it was found that the height i and distances were so great that the ■ figure had to b# enlarged and placed I on a more prominent part of the cliff. ’ Finally a light fifty-foot structure was erectetd on a farm wagon and the wagon was drawn around until the proper location was established For the foundation fifteen feet of soil had to be removed before bedrock was struck. Here the top of a natural ledge of stone was reached The ledge, thirty feet deep, is formed I

Canine Code of Et quette

Certain Lines of Conduct Which It Is Asserted No Dog Dares - . Overstep. Every animal lover can tell numerous stories illustrating the devotion of animals to their human protectors. Anecdotes of one animal risking its life to save another are rare, but still ■ sufficiently numerous and authentic to 1 leave no doubt as to the occasional exi istence of a deep love between ani- ; mals. But any close observer of nature will know that there exists throughout the brute creation a sort of rough moral system which, in the case of domestic animals, translates itself into what really amounts to a code of etiquette. The old proverb, “The dog with a bone has many friends,” is nothing else than a recognition of canine etiquette. It does not matter how small is the dog with the bone. It may be a Pomeranian surrounded by mastiffs. The mastiffs will still remain friendly. They will hover round the Pomeranian, perhaps whining for a morsel j (which is never offered), and eagerly picking up any splinter that may be dropped, when nothing would be easier than to bowl the little dog over and seize the bone. You will notice, further, that the little dog becomes filled with a new courage, presumably in the moral consciousness of the justice of his claim, and will growl, and even snap at a dog he otherwise fears if the latter should come too close. But the moment a dog drops his bone a new rule of etiquette operates, for it becomes the property of the first dog who cares to pick it up. True, a dispute will sometimes arise as to whether the bone has actually been dropped “within the meaning of the act.” But once this is clear the law of the bone will be observed by all save the exceptional “hooligan” dog,

There was no fly leaf in the book, but on the title page, written with ink, was his own name with a heavy mark through it and under this the name of his brother, to whom the book passed when he was graduated from the "third.” The man paid a small price for the book and in speaking of the find said that his brother who owned it died nearly ten years ago. "His library,” he said, "was divided among members of the family. The old schoolbooks were probably thrown away or

of a succession of steps which bars the appearance of being built artificially as they show on the river bluff. Many engineering difficulties had to be overcome, inasmuch as a great concrete statue had never before been made. The statue contains about two tons of twisted steel reinforcing and approximately 240 cubic yards of concrete, twenty tons of which consists of pink granite screenings, giving it the appearance of a granite statue. More than 65.000 gallons of water was pumped up from the river for maintaining two steam engines and for mixing the concrete. Four hundred and twenty barrels of cement were used in forming the mixture. The first model was of plaster and only eight inches high, the next was two feet high and the third six feet. This last served as the working model and was enlarged by careful measurement to a frame of scantlings around an elevator shaft. When the whole figure had been framed in lumber wire netting was stretched over the timbers, and this in turn was covered with burlap for a surface. Later the burlap was painted with plaster of paris to stiffen it and then subjected to a coat of clay water to“ insure its release from the mold later on. Meanwhile the head was modelled in clay and cast by the usual process, the piece mold being saved for use again in casting the concrete. A three-inch mold was next made over the figure, about ten tons of ' plaster being used for this purpose, i with many heavy timbers for support. ■ The scaffolding was then taken out j and a steel reinforcing tower eight | feet In diameter was built in its place. This tower ran the entire length of the body, ending in a dome just below the neck, and was designed to support the head and shoulders of solid concrete. The final work of casting was done in the middle of winter, ten days being required for this work, with two i crews of fourteen men each working in day and night shifts. When the mold was full heat was applied for two days, and then the spirit of Black Hawk was left to the elements. With the removal of this mold the following spring there a perfect monolith concrete statue. This statue is. in more senses than one. the biggest thing that Mr. Taft has yet done. The statue is immensely simple, the heavy folds of the blanket surrounding the figure suggesting ’ the man’s body without ' following closely its outlines. The dignity, the stoicism and the bitterness of a vanquished leader are there. An interesting feature of the unveiling ceremonies was addresses by Dr. Charles Eastman and Miss Laura M. Cornelius, or “Wynnogerte.” both full-blooded Indians and direct deI scendants of Black Hawk.

Although a dog is quite entitled to rush suddenly upon a foe and take him unawares, he may not do so if the other is eating or drinking. Carlyle’s Good Mother . Carlyle once wrote these words of his mother’s religious influence over him as a boy, and of the purity and nobility of her Christian character: “My kind mother did me one altogether invaluable service. She taught me, less indeed by word than by act and daily reverent habitude, her own simple version of the Christian faith. My mother, with a true woman’® heart, and fine though uncultivated sense, was in the strictest acceptance, religious. The highest whom I knew on earth I saw bowed down with aw® unspeakable, before a Higher One in heaven, especially in Infancy, reach inward to the very core of your being; mysteriously does a Holy of Hoi lies build itself into visibility in the mysterious depths, and reverence, the divinest in man, springs forth undying from Its mean development of fear.” Sn Bruin Gets Honey. Bruin has a sweet tooth. If you gc to the Jardin des Plantes you can see him of an afternoon drinking hydromel, honey and water, with the nearest approach he can make to a seraphic smile. It is only lately that he has been given this luxury. How he came by it is interesting. It is now possible to sell to the public flowers grown in the gardens and the profits on the sales are devoted to buying luxuries for the animals. Thus, like the bees, Bruin derives his honey from the flower, which seems in the fitness of things.—Paris Letter to the London Telegraph.

THE JESTER’MALENTINE (Z * The writing of a Valentine May seem an easy thing; But you must use discretion When you do it for a King. —Mark Fenderson. HEMTSANDDARTS OF SL VALENTINE *Tis the returning festival of the venerable Bishop Valentine, as berhymed by poets and beloved of lovers in these wireless telegraph days, as It was in Merrie England of old, when, is Charles Lamb records, “the weary ind all forspent twopenny postman sank beneath a load of delicate emDarrassment hot his own.” ’What manenr of person was this saint of eternal youth, whose name so brightly burns and glows in the rubric? The Church Calendar assigns him to the distant date of 270 A. D., but gives no particulars. We do know, however, that through all these Intervening centuries Saint Valentine’s name has typified “that universal sweet unrest which impels poor humans to seek perfection in union.” Also, t£at hearts and Hymen’s darts, and rhymed madrigals, in which the lender’s name must be read between the lines, have been from time immemorial associated with the date of Feb. 14, the good Bishop’s birthday. The more chivalrous and devout men have been the more ardent in their observance of the sentimental anni♦ersary. Can any twentieth century valentine surpass this one of the Spanish knight-crusader, quoted by Lockhart? “My ornaments are arms, My pastime is in war. My bed is cold upon the wold. My lamp yon sear.' *My journeyings are long. My slumbers short and broken; From hill to hill I wander still. Kissing thy token.

AUilentine Revival tai z - < A X'V ( 1 ' I r 'l Dr. March, on his rounds, droppet in to see Annie Tupper as a matter oi course. Annie was a cripple and de pendent for a home upon her married brother, a hard-working mechanic; i and though her good friends, busy folk all called as often as they could to make sure that comforts were not lacking, she spent many hours alone. When Annie saw who was at the doot her face brightened with pleasure, for the bluff, kindly old surgeon had been her friend and confidant foi many years. “What’s all this, Annie?’ ’he asked with interest; “been playing papet dolls all by yourself?” She laughed in some embarrassment j “There, now! I was hoping you didn’t notice; but if you won’t tell I’ll let you into the secret. Well, doctor, I’m making valentines.” “Valentines!” There was wonder ment in his tone. “Sounds foolish, don’t it? But it’s like this: Sitting here alone, I guess I think more about the holidays than if I was up and doing; and sometimes I get low-spirited, thinking how much more they used to mean than they do now. Wicked, ain’t it, and me so well fixed? The other day, when I saw how near the 14th was, I began think ing about the days when I was young and straight and pretty and used to get a peck of valentines every year. I was getting real sorry for myself, when all of a sudden, thinks I, ‘Annia Tupper, do you s’pose your plain, mid-dle-aged face is the only one St. Vai entine don’t notice nodadays? Hot, many of your friends that’s over fifty ever see a valentine any more?’ Tc be sure, their lives are fuller’n mine, so maybe they don’t miss such things much! but all the same I bet the;? like it when some one remembers. Sc I made a list of the getting-middle aged ladies with no beaux or husbands, and the married ones with hus bands that look too busy or matter of-fact to remember birthdays and Valentine days and such things, and 1 made up my mind I’d send ’em eack a little remembrance my own self even if it wasn’t much. “I think it’s a beautiful idea,” said the doctor, heartily. He was deeply touched by the thought of those pa tient hands undertaking such, a label of love; he wondered, too, whether hi’ own quiet, graj"haired wife was on the list, and counted remorsefully ths years since he had remembered hei violets on the good saint’s anniversary. “You’re a good little soul, Annie!” he added, impulsively. “Not such a saint as I might be,” Annie with a twinkle ot fun in the broWn eyes; “sometimes, looking through the list, I can’t help being tickled, thinking what good subjects for ’comics’ some of ’em would make. There’s Mrs. Adams* slack housekeeping, and her bonnet over one eye; and the way Mrs. Wood gossips; and Mary Trask, with her big hats and short dresses and high heels, trying to look like a spring chicken; and —oh! lots of funny little ways that folks have. But when such things come to me, I remember how Mrs. Adams, wore herself out nursing me when I had fever, and how generous Mrs. Wood is; and as for Mary, she’s a perfect angel to her grumpy old father, and a master hand at cooking, as I’ve reason to know. Every one of ’em’s been good to me, and I only wish I had something better to give than my little paper fixings.” Valentine’s day arrived, bright and cold. Toward evening Doctor March could not resist dropping In to see Annie for a few moments. The invalid sat in her chair by the window, her face flushed with excitement and happiness. In her lap, caressed by her thin fingers, was a heap of bright cards and dainty trifles, while more substantial reminders of the day were in evidence. Annie looked at him with radiant eyes, “Oh. Doctor March, what a good time I’ve had!” she sighed, blissfully, “Why, all day long the doorbell’s been ringing, and valentines just pouring in—some of ’em so funny and cute they made me laugh, and some so sweet I ’most cried. And even my pussy cat got one —didn’t you, Topsy? See the dear little bundle of catnip seme one sent her! Folks have been good to me before, but it just seems as though these lovely, trilly, not-use-ful things make ’em seem more friendly than ever. Doctor,” her face clouded with sudden anxiety, “you didn’t tell on me. did you? I’m afraid it wouldn’t be quite so —so perfect, if people knew I was going to send to them, and wanted to sort of even up, you know.”
