"Saint Oaudena worked with tha energy
and steadiness of a bricklayer engaged
In overtime and doable pay operations, but
' he never slouched over anything. He had
enough commissions to carry him well Into
tha twenty-flret century, and he had quite
stopped taking any orders In recent years
unless the subjects were such as appealed
keenly to his ambitious sense. Ha "stopped
making potboilers when he gave up cameo
cutting, and ha never handed 3V4i a btt

"An example of the immense amount of
thought and actual bother he devoted to a
work waa the memorial to Robert O. Shaw,
mmmander of the Fifty-fourth Massachu
setts regiment, who fell at Fort Wagner.
Taking his commission In ISM. Saint Oau
dens finished the work In 1896.
"Nor was he a slow or fussy worker. He
simply meant to be right and would not go
ahead till he felt sure that he was right.
"Of the fourteen years given to the Shaw
memorial only about two vwere spent in
actual work. The rest of the time was
given.' to planning and cancelling plans,
Jiodlfylng and re-arranging ideas, and, not
H,o least of the trouble, getting fit models
ur the soldier, figures In the piece. Ha
brought his first Idea almost to completion
before . he reached tha conclusion that it
didn't tnake tha picture and then he puUed
It right down and started anew on a
wholly different schema. .'..
"He did a good part of this work In
Washington, and he had some curioua ex

Blacks Fear Might Doctor,
'The blacks of Washington have always
been afraid of the night doctors, and the
more Ignorant among them believe In tha
night doctors to the present day. Perhapa
at the north the meaning of night doctor
may not be understood.
r'The night doctor obsessea the minds of
the blacke In any community where they
live In numbers. Ha'a tha chap who's sup
posed to kill them after nightfall in order
to turn their bodies over to medical col
leges for a profit.
The average Washington black will keep
his distance. If Indeed he doesn't wheel
and bolt for It. If ha'a addressed by a
white man pretty late on a dark nlght
every white man Is a night doctor to him.
. Soma of them really carry their raaors for
the purpose of protecting themselves
against night doctors, though their conten
tion In this respect Is never allowed when
they are fetched up In the police court for
toting weapons.
"Saint Oaudens. with the Irish sense of
humor in him, revelled in It when he waa
mistaken for a night doctor by darkies
whom he tackled after nightfall with a
view to getting them to poee for nrm. ne
had the keen, alert look of some medical
men. and he anawered to the last Item to
the ignorant negro's Idea of wiat a night
doctor ought to look like. Saint Oaudena
had to go prowling after dark for hla
models, for he worked without Intermission
even for food.
"Tlie kind of a negro man he wanted for
hla Shaw memorial pleoe Waa the charac
teristic woolly-headed African with gen
uine Congo features, and the negro of that
type In or around Washington waa bound
to be of the aort to be haunted by tha fear
of night doctore.

"Saint Oaudana was coming uptown to
Fourteenth street car
one night In MS when, glancing out of tha
car window at the people lined up at the U
street transfer station, he caught sight of
a husky black who It Instantly occurred
to hlra was the exact man he wanted for a
Bhaw memorial model. This waa before
be was familiar with the ways of the blacks
tn this section and bs went at his lob in a
way that was all wrong, as he laughingly
acknowledged.
"He bounded off the car Just as It was
about to start-the black he had his eye on
.! for a downtown car and
rushing up to the negro he took htm by
the coat, lapel and said to him. in his
jmewhat nervous way:
.. t-,.. over here, my man; I want you.
i ..j. tA make a picture of you.'
"That U atreet corner wasn't aa well

"I want picture of you. explained
the sculptor, restraining his amusement,
because after I get tha picture I want
to carve you tn atone, and '
Tha big negro's eyea were popping
by this time. Ha yanked himself loose
from the grasp of the aoulptor and began
to leg It at a dead lops.

down.
"Only a few weeka after this, again at
night and while strolling on Pennsylva
nia avenue this time. St. Oaudens came
up with another negro who answered to
the type ha wanted for hla negro sol

'sly man,' he said, blocking the negro.

Immortalise you' 81 Oaudens used the
long word for the fun he got out of It In
watching the negro's amasement ovsr It,
for negroes marvel more over big words
than they do over miracles In nature.
'I wish to do you In atone. I want to '
That's as fsr aa he ever got with that
one, too. Tha negro believers In the night
doctor superstition have all heard that
after they're killed and sold by the night
doctors their bodies are pickled for
preservation purposes tn a fluid that
causes tkern, when tha dissectors are
through with them, to turn to atone.
nu uaudens, in urgent need or a
model for his negro soldier, took aftor
the negro to explain the situation to him.
Beelng thlsr the blaok began to howl as
he ran. and then a polloeman began to
race after tha negro and the sculptor.
St. Oaudens pulled up when he wis
shouted at by the policeman.
" 'What's altn' yeesT Did the dtnge frisk
yeesT the policeman asked Saint Oaudena.
and Saint Oaudens, though he was born In
Ireland himself, couldn't understand that
question, naturally enough.
" 1 Want that man,' he started to say to
the officer, 'for the purpose of'
" 'Well. Ol ll git him f r yees,' panted the
cop, and away he went after the negro,
who was turning a corner then.
"The policeman rapped on the pavement
with his club and blow his whistle, and tha
policeman on the other beat heard the sig
nals and saw the flying negro bound his
way, and corralled the man. There were
slaty gray or ashevt spots all over the
breathless black's face when he was finally
brought back to where Saint Oaudons was
standing.
Be sip tor Tries to Bxplala.
"Then the sculptor endeavored to explain
to the two policeman and the negro Just
what his difficulty was and how he wanted
the black to pose for him. But the polloe
men couldn't see it, and they roasted Saint
Oaudens for running after a decent negro
on the publlo street.
'Ol've th' best notion in th wurld t'
pinch yees fr It,' and Saint Oaudens would
perhaps have' been taken to the station
house had not one of the Instructors at the
Corcoron School of Art come along and
fixed the matter up.
After that, tn order to keep Saint
Oaudens out of trouble In his model hunt
tng essays some of us endeavored to Induce
him to delegate that part of his task to a
competent and approved volunteer, but he
dldnt like this method, fearing that no
body could know Just precisely what ha
wanted In tha way of a negro for his black
soldier except himself. So we Instructed
him as to a better way to approach such
negroes as looked likely for his purpose.
We told him not to mention anything about
pictures or stone or anything of that sort.
but Just to tackle them and ask them If
they wanted some work.
Do you want a Job 7" he asked the next
black he came upon who looked aa If he
might fill the bill.
Ah'm wukkln' now, boss,' the man re
plied, suspiciously, for as usual It was
after nightfall when Saint Oaudens went
forth on his model hunt.
"But the sculptor managed to dispel this
suspicion aad gave the negro the address of
his studio, asking htm to drop around thete
on the following forenoon. On the next
momlnrr Saint Oaudena was busily engaged
at modeling a sarcophgus piece a recum
bent figure when there was a timid tapping
on hla door.
Blar Darky la geared. I
" Enter!' tha aoulptor aang out, and the
door waa opened and the negro pushed
In his head and one foot.
" Come right In, Laftajtette,' said Saint
Oaudens pleasantly, but the big darky's
face showed the agony of fear Jhat had
seised htm.
"He kept his eyea fixed on the reclining
clay figure upon which the aproned sculptor
was working, and big beads began to pop
on his forehead. Saint Oaudena read tha
meaning of tha fear expressed tn the negro's
ayes. The black had tt, of course, that he,
the night doctor, was working with the
scalpel over tha body of somebody fresh
killed.
" "Gawd ha' musay on mah ntgguh soul I
screamed the black. In a f reniy of fear, and
then the sound of hla voice giving him re
lease from his rootedneaa. he leaped tor the
stairs.
"Thsre ware two flights of stairs, and the
black fell down both of them, howling.
" Stop html Stop htm, I say! called out
Saint Oaudens from the top of the stairs,
and the Janitor of the establishment tackled
the negro aa ha flew toward the door,
grappled with htm and bore htm to the
ground.
"Hla terror Increased to ahrteklng hys
teria when Saint Oaudens trotted down the
stairs In his working rig, and the Janitor
had to put his hand over the man's mouth
to stop his cries. But he hadn't stopped
them before the whole house was aroused
and the halls were filled with terrified
women and whimpering children.
Had ta Tars Hiss Uom,
" Turn the fellow loose,' said Saint Oau
dens disgustedly, seeing that he'd never get
any good out of that model, and he slipped
a 12 bill Into the coat pocket of the still
prone negro; the Janitor let tha man up,
and away he flew as If all of the furies of
Tartarus were after biro.
"Saint Oaudena gave up hla personally
conducted search for a negro model
then. Just, tha man he wanted waa sent
to him by somebody a few weeks later In
the person of an educated but very black
and characteristic negro messenger In one
of the government departmenta of Wash
ington, and this man answered perfectly
for the negro soldier of the Shaw piece.
"Saint Ouadena had a lot of trouble too
tn getting white models for the soldiers of
tha piece. Ha was asked why he didn't
pick out a few soldlere from the regular
army outfits statlohed In and about Wash
ington, uniform them In the soldier clothes
of the dvll war and get ahead with his
piece, but he well knew why he couldn't
do anything of tha sort, although ha dldnt
become discursive on the subject.
"Ha was perfectly aware that the reg
ulars of tha latter years of tha nineteenth
century were of a wholly different type
of men from the volunteers of the 'SOa. Tha
regulars were trig, trim, epiok and apan
cltppertsh and cleared for action, as it were,
whereas the volunteers were of a wholly
different physique loose Jointed, many of
them, not set up. not finished In any sense.
"Saint Oaudena went to the smaller towns
and villages to get hold of men of this type
to pose for his whits soldiers men of a
type that survived the civil war, because
they lived tha same aort of Uvea aa were led
by the great majority of the men who vol
unteered for that conflict. And any man
who la old enough to remember the civil
war typea of aoldlers will proclaim his
appreciation ot how miraculously Saint
Oaudena caught and preeerved the type."

sulphur deprived rubber of stickiness. Oood

quite by accident, overturned some of the
mixture upon a not stove. He saw In a

DENVER, Aug. 17. The Pentecostal
onion la the corporate name of a religious
soct which seems to be flourishing here.
"Jumpers" Is the popular name of the
body. It might suit the convenience of
certain multl-mllllonalres who are cred
ited with a longing to get rid of their
money before Gabriel calls. It was
founded by a woman, Mrs. Alma White.
One of Its articles of faith Is that ,the
sooner you give away your money the
better, and It haa a new $40,000 home here.
Its most conspicuous manifestation gives
It Its popular name. The writer was at
one of Its open-air meetings In front of
Its $40,000 home the other day.
As he neared the circle of Jumpers
his ear caught a catchy, rollicking tune.
Then he came upon a band of soma seventy-five
men and women dressed In cos
tumes like those of the Salvation Army,
Jumping, leaping, whirling about the
street In unison with the music. On every
face there was a smile not a fixed smile,
but a happy, pleased, expectant, almost
rapturous expression.
In and out they wreathed, the men
and women dancing apart, but those of
the same sex Joining hands, playing rlng-a-rosy
for a minute, then breaking away
and Jouncing up and down with a not
ungraceful movement. Higher and higher
rose the tune and more and more fantas
tlo grew their actions. 1
They shouted aloud hallelujahs and
cheers with an enthusiasm somewhat sim
ilar to that aroused at a college foot ball
game. Suddenly all was quiet again and
a woman stepped upon a chair In the
tnldst of tha circle.
Arise aad Shine.
"Arlser shs vociferated. "Shine!" "
"We're doing both!" the other members
shouted.
The woman made an address and then
gave place to Brother Day, an aged mem
ber who had been done lug around back
ward with considerable agility.
There Isn't a real church In Denver
outside of this!" ha shouted. "All the
members of all other churches are hypo
crites I They are damned!"
His voice waa drowned by tha shouts of
his hearers.
'That's so!" shouted one Jumper.
"Hallelujahl" said another.
"Praise God!" screamed snot her.
"If they preached as fcessly In any
other church," continued urother Day.
"they would lose their salary Inside of
thirty days."
Another orator arose, a beardless youth
who had been ejaculating "Praise Ood!"
at Intervals as regularly as a minute gun.
"We haven't a corner on salvation 1" hs
cried. "You can get it. It'll take the mad
out of youl It'll take the old slambang out
of you. You'll be treating your wife right
and you won't be kicking the cat around,
but you'll be living right"
The men's costumes consisted -of loose
knee, breeches, leather leggings, high black
waistcoats, celluloid collars, a Norfolk
Jacket and a cap with vlxor . front and
back. Tha oapa bore the legend 'Tillar of
Fire" across the front.
The women's costumes consisted of a blus
skirt and a loose blue blouse and a flat bat
bearing the saiue legend. The movement
is a-nowa among its memoers as tae nuar
of Fire movement.
Fairly Lift Their Voices.
The meeting adjourned to the big- hall
within, and tha members lifted up their
voices in prayer. "Lifted up their voices"
described It. They yelled. They howled.
They shrieked.
They rooked their bodies to and fro and
beat their hands together. The clamor
grew and grew and Intensified, until It
sounded like the Stock exchange on a
panlo day. The air was rent with shouts
of "God!" "Jesus!" and "Hell! and the
shouting of the men waa varied by tha
shrill screaming ot the women.
Then the clamor quieted down and the
music broke forth again. They began to
sing and to dance with a straight backed,
atralht-legged strut.
Gradually they began to go faster. They
formed rings. They sashayed up and down
the hall In couples. A shrill cowboy yell
rang out "Whee-owt Yowl Yow! Yow!"
Noise was the object, and every man
and woman Indulged In the peculiar form
which took hla or her fancy The muslo
went faster. The men leaped upon tha rows
of chairs and ran along them. The women
gyrated about the pillars.
The men Joined hands and strove to out
leap one anther. The swing of It was Irre
sistible, and auddenly the whole clamorous
crowd swept down tha main aisle and back
again. Every one was still smiling Joy
fully. The next moment tha air was white with
waving handkerchiefs. Little children
Jumped up and down among them. Over
there by the piano la a quiet, pretty girl.
Surely she .will not Join In the revel! Yea
See, She begins to sway. She begins to
leap. Her blue skirt flounces back and
forth In an ungainly fashion. Her charm is
lost In tha awkwardness of her movements.
A fat. white haired. old woman prances
around on the raised platform. And still
everywhere la that air of radiant happiness.
Tha cheeks of tha girls are red with exur
clsa ' . N
The dancing ceases. Next came a solo
by a nasal toned women; "Let Him Have
His Way With Thee."
That's tae Wnole Secret.
"That's tha whole secret." said Mrs.
Alma White, tha founder of tha religion.
A red haired Swedish girl arose.
"I am going out In the highways and the
hedges." aha aald, "depending on God. I
ahall live by faith alone. Just think; I
used to be afraid that I would starve!"
The statement was greeted by a burst of
amused, incredulous, derisive laughter.
"The Lord will provider' shouted a man.
Then Mrs. White sang, "I dreamed that
th great Judgment morning'' In a clarion
noted, bugle call voice. The whole tenor
of her apeech was that money Is the root of
all evil, and that it should be given away.
The movement haa received 160,000 In do
nations. ,
Other churches believe that gain Is Ood
ness." she aald; and repeated' It with a
variety of accentuations with the weari
some Iteration of a country sermon. "Jesus
didn't even carry any pocket book that wa
have any record of," aha continued. "If
you'll ahow ma some one who haa given up
money, I'll ahow you soma one who haa
come pretty near getting on tha Bible line.

BLIND WOMAN AS LIBRARIAN
Miss Bubici, Lynn, Mass., Only One
in the World.
HAS READING E00M FOB THESE
Besides Conducting; This Work at Pub
' Ho Library She Teaches Many
Sightless Persons of
tae City. .
Miss Jennie Wlnslow Bublcr of Lynn,
Mass., Is the only blind ' librarian In the
world. She has charge of the "room of
happiness," as the reading .room for tho
blind In the public library of Lynn la
called by- the sightless people who enjoy
Its privileges. Besides .performing the du.
tlea of librarian Miss Bubler teaches tha
blind patrona of the library to read.
"I became blind when I waa a year and a
half old." said Miss Bubier. "I was the
youngest of six children and my mother
was a working woman, but to her efforts
I owe all the Joy and happiness that has
come Into my life, aa well as my educa
tion. "She taught me my alphabet and had me
enter' the public schools along with the
other girls of my age and neighborhood.
At night after ber day's work was dona
he would read me my lessons,, and I not
only kept up with my class, but stood
among the leaders. On one occasion while
I waa attending the public school . I de
termined to take the prise offered for the
best attendance. It waa not easy, for tha
girl who waa my chief rival waa a fine
'scholar and a hard woer, but I won. It
aeems very amusing now, looking back on
It all, and whenever we, my rival and I,
meet, wa alwaya refer to It and have a
good laugh.
"It was soon after the winning of that
prise that my mother waa perauaded to
take ma from the public school and send
me to Perkins institute. I have alwaya
regretted that ahe did not wait a few
yeara and allow me to graduate from the
high school. J think It would have been
aa well for my education and I should
have enjoyed the association with the girls
in the high school so much.
Schooled with Seeing; Oaea.
"That la one thing I am In favor of
blind children being educated with children
who have their sight. Of courae Jn many
Instances It is Impossible, but where It can
be done I am sure It Is best. The youth Is
the playtime of our lives and If we do not
have the association of other children wa
miss It all our lives. I waa sent to Perkins
bocausa I could have greater educational
advantages, among them music. i
"That, I think, waa what decided my ,
iiiuiner to sena me, i was very fond of
muslo and while ahe had never taken a
music lesson In her life she determined that
my blindness should not stand in my way.
"Porklns In a wonderful school and, of
oourse, I had every advantage of education
there, but I waa glad to get back to mother
and my home here In Lynn. Having en
Joyed such good advantagea I felt that It
waa my duty to share them with those to
whom they had been denied. Whenever I
heard of blind persons here In Lynn I
would maka It my business to visit them
and do all that I could to help them. In
that way I taught several persons to read
by the different methods for the blind and
I may also add that I made many friends.
"About five years ago, when this work
for the blind of Lynn was undertaken, I
waa asked to take charge of It. It waa only
an experiment undertaken by the ladlea of
the Lynn Historical society at the euggee
tlon of tha lata EJlhu B. Hayes, an ex
mayor of Lynn. ' After raising $1,000, ' with
which they bought a small collection of
books for the blind, tha ladlea secured a
email room here In the publlo library and
I waa put In charge of it aa librarian."
Six Ways to Traeh Beadle.
"It waa not Intended that I should teach
reading at first, but It' was soon found that
only- through auch Instruction could the
work be effective. There are alx methods
of teaching the blind to read and I have
acquired them all. When pupils cannot be
taught one method, or perhaps I should
say when they And It particularly difficult,
I try another.
"One of my pupils was 86 years old when
be first came here He waa a highly edu
cated man when he lost his sight, but be
cause of his age he considered that bis case
was hopeless. He found Braille and New
York point very difficult because bis fingers
were not sufficiently sensitive. He learned
Uk Moon type readily, and now Ukas the

greatest pleasure In reading Moon type
books.' If I remember correctly the first
thing ha read waa The Lord la my Shep
herd.' It waa a little tract for the blind
brought back by our librarian. Miss Har
riet L. Matthews, from a convention that
she had attended.
"Another one of our reading room circle
who learned to 'read under my Instruction
Is to years old. He Is a poet and a musician.
He Is both blind and deaf, or. as he ex
presses It, he has old age with. all modern
Improvements. During the home week Just
past he was kept busy supplying visitors to
this room with copies of his poems and
his music. He reads in all six methods, and
when one remembers that learning a new
method for a blind person is Just about as
difficult as learning a foreign language for
a person with sight I think they will be able
to Judge how persevering he has been. '
"A third in our circle who considered
himself too old to learn Is an honored mem
ber of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Ho served' through the civil war and won
distinction for bla bravery, but when he
lost his sight he gave up. He suffered front
melancholia almost to the verge of suicide.
He Insisted that the remainder of his life
would be a perfect blank, and his wife said
he depressed the whole family. After much
persuasion he was Induced to come here to
our 'room of happiness.' He learned to
read, and since then he not only enjoys
life, but ha adds much to the enjoyment of
othere. Hla wife now says he is the life of
the house, he keeps them all up wtth his
sunshine and his witty saylnsa.
Most Wonder-Tel ef All.v
"Perhaps the most wonderful of all our
circle Is Miss Llsxle Hussey. 8he Is to
tally blind, but she sews, makes beautiful
baskets and keeps a little store, support
ing both herself and her mother. Before
losing her sight she had worked very hard
as a dressmaker and her mother waa de
pendent on her.
"A friend told me Shout her and I went
at once te call on her. At first she re
fused when I tried to get her to come here
and Join our circle. She said It waa no
use, aha waa hopelessly blind and that
was the end of it. At last ahe aald she
would come to weep with me. To weep
with me! Think of that Well, she came,
but It was not to weep. She has learned
all six methods and now keeps the ac
counts of her little store tn Braille. Al
though she now works In the dark, she
makes a good living for herself and her
mother. Instead of weeping she Is now
more cheerful and hopeful than many
women who have to meet the same prob
lems and who are blessed with perfect eye
sight. "Of course, during tha five yeara that
this room has been opened many' of my
pupils have for one cause or another left
Lynn, and now we only keep In touch with
them through correspondence. One partic
ularly Interesting pupil who has moved
away is Miss Ollle Davis, now of Friend
ship, Me. She waa a dressmaker and had

Is a successful chicken farmer,
"Site la on our list of correspondents and
the Zetgler magaslne for the blind Is sent
her each month. That Zelgler inagaslne Is
a great blessing to those who have lust
their sight. It contains all the news of
the day and besides several good poems
and short stories. Wouldn't It like to pub
llsh a good serial once in a while? Yes,
and I believe in time It will 'do ao. Ot
course it has only Just begun, but when It
gets a circulation among all the blind In
the country I feel sure It will be aa fine and
up-to-date aa any magaslne published.
"Before the publication of the Zetgler
magaslne friends read me stories and
poems from good current magazines and I
would write them off on our typewriter for
the blind. This typewriter - writes Braille,
and by using It In that way our circle were
able to keep In touch with the current'
magaslnes. At one time I subscribed to a
paper that was published for the blind 1a
the west, but K took so long to come that
by the time It did get here the news It
brought was old. My friends had either
read It to me or I had heard It talked
about. The Zelgler magaslne Is different
and la );ist what we blind people stand most
In need of.
"There Is going to, be a convention for
the blind In Boston this month, and I have
been elected to represent Lynrt. There la
a move on foot to have alt blind pupils
taught the same- reading method and have
all books for the blind published In that.
That Is one of many subjects that will b
considered by the convention.
The Mextoaa Laborer.
There la no more Independent person In
the world than the Mexican laborer, says an
American who haa capital Invested In that
country. Especially is this true of the
peon of the tropics. It would seem that he
works for Americans who have big planta
tions to develop more as a matter tof ac
commodation than from necessity. He de
mands a snug sum In advance, too, on '
which to have a good time at the "fiestas"
before he settles down to several months of
drudgery. No nstlve Indian has to work
for white men In the tropics to gain a
livelihood. His wants are few. hla ambi
tions are limited to a desire for enough to
eat, a thatched hut and a little cotton cloth.
The hut he can make for himself. There
sre fish In the river and game In the forest.
There Is plenty of unoccupied land upon
which hs can raise a few cereals to trade
for the things he cannot produce himself.
There Is no winter to provide against, and
though the rainy days come often In sum
mer, they only mean more rest.
