The farmers of Denton county were or

wrote TO Acknowledgement Hogg CONCERNING
the legality of such a movement. The at
torney generals reply was as follows;
]. T. Bottorf, Esq, County Attorney Den
ton, Tex:
Dear Sir-From the statement contained
in the enclosure of your letter of the 9th
ultimo, the combination of farmers is in
tended to prevent competition in the ''pur-
chase of merchandise" and is therefore a
violation of subdivision 3, section l, as well
as other portions of the "Trust bill" Your
duty is to enforce all provisions of this law
without respect to class, and as the COM
mittee ask you the plain question on
statement of facts, showing that the in
tended organization has for its object yio-
lation of the statute defining and prohibit
ing the like, you should warn them of the
consequences if the combination should be
perfected. Very truly,
[Signed.] }. 5. HoGG,

A criticism was once made upon the
"Angelus" which is worth repeating.
The picture represents a peasant man
and woman pausing in plowed field
with bowed heads while the Ange!us Is
supposed to be sounding in the distance.
What do you think of the picture:
asked one, showing il to friend who
looked at it for the FIRST time.
IL can hear it" replied the gazer
No painter ever received prettier
compliment. To one looking at the rev
erential couple as drawn by the artist
the sound of the Angelus cannot fail to
come with fancy.
Millet took up etching to keepthe wolf
from the door. He had painted rude
figures which no one would buy and had
tried Bible scenes, but had not succeeded
with them any better than with the 9th
ers. The revolution of 1913 stopped all
picture buying and Millet asked publish
ers for o.. ork and began experimenting
in etching. He was without materials.
For plates he took old pieces of copper
and for ink used colors from his palette.
But hc persevered, and although he did
work which would be rather of practi-
cal order than painting, his work always
showed his own individuality.
Millet lived between the years 1914
and 1915. When he died he said that his
life was closing too soon; that he was
Just beginning to see clearly into nature
and into art. He suffered with fever
during the latter part OF 1874, and just
as the year was closing went to bed and
never rose from it. In January he was
sleeping between the attacks of fever,
when he was suddenly awakened by the
noise of guns and the baying of hounds.
4 hunted stag had jumped the fences
and been driven into a neighbor's gar
den. There it was butchered. Mlllet,
who had never liked huntsmen, said: II,
is an omen" He died socn after, oa the
Goth of January, 1875.

wi,n II me revolutlon, Pyat dropped
literature and dashed wildly into the
political arena, becoming a leader in the
extreme Socialistic wing of the active
Revolutionary party. With Ledru Rol-
lin he was exilcd, going first to Switzer-
land and then to Belgium. a general
amnesty was declared in 1869, and Pyat
went back to Paris in time to become
one of the most rabid Communists. He
advocated the maddest acts of violence,
and, when Paris was devastated by the
bowling mob, was elected to the execu-
tive council of the Commune. He was

His Name Is Associated with Frances
Most Exciting Times.
TIE life of the late Felix Pyat, the
anarchist for the department of the
Bouches du Rhone in France, was re-
markable one. Twice he was an exile;
for several years he was under sentence
of death, and two of his years were
passed in jail. All of his oifenses were
of a political nature, however, and no
man ever hinted that Felix Pyat was
not sincere. He had the courage of his
convictions, aud his convictions were
nearly always opposed to the people in
power.
He was born Oct. 4, 1910, at Nierzon,
France, and was well educated. He was
admitted to the bar in 1881, but threw
off the shackles Of the law almost inn
mediately, and became journalist,
much against the wishes OF his friends.
His writings were more brilliant than
those of Rochefort. Full OF bitter per
sonalities and inexpressibly caustic, they
soon made the young mans name sig
nal for either the most extrayasant
praise or the most violent abuse.

MILLET'S BIRTHPLACE.

He was born in the village of Gruchy.
his father and mother being peasants. y
vicar educated him, thoughhi schooling
was often interrupted by field work.
When he was 12 years old he was con-
frmed, and at this time read such books
as THE Lives of the Saints" The Con
fessions of st. Augustine, "St. Francis
of Sales" "St. jerome" and the works
of the religious philosophers of France.
He was drawn to art by seeing some
engravings in the Bible at his fathers
house. He drew the garden and stables,
the animals, and also studied the sea.
His familiarity with peasant life and his
religious interest enabled him at last 10
produce such a work as the "Angelus."
When he was IS he made two drawings,
which he and his father took to cele-
brated painter who then was living near
them. The painter would not at first be-
lieve that the young man drew the plct-
ures. When convinced he said to the
father:
"WelI. YOU will go to perdition for
having kept him so long, for your child
has the stuff of a great painter
Millet then went to Cherbourg, near
by where he was born. He remained
there for time and then went TO Paris
The painter afterwards lived in Cher
bourg, but not in affluent circumstances.
1t has been said that one quarter day, his
rent being due and his purse, as usual,
empty, Millet succeeded in coaxing a
picture dealer to visit his studio to see if
there was not something there worth the
$50 which he owed his landlord. The
dealer came, turned over canvas after
canvas superciliously, but at last con
sented to give the sum required in eX
change for three important works. A;
he laid the three 100 franc notes ON the
table, Millet suddenly remembered thai
