HISTORICAL.

Santa Fe, the city Of the Holy Faith OF
st. Francis, is the capital Of New Mexico,
trade center, sanitary, archepiscopal
see, and district military headquarters.
It is the oldest seat of civil and religious
government on American soil. When
Tabeza de Baca penetrated the valley OF
sthe Rio Grande in 1888 he found Santa
Fe tiourishing pueblo village. The his
tory of its first European settlement was
lost, with most of the early records OF the
territory, by the destruction of all the
archives in 1850; but the earliest men,
tion of it shows it then to have been the
capital and the center OF commerce,
authority and influence. In 1904 came
the first venturesome American trader
the forerunner OF the great line of mer-
chants who have made traffic over the
Santa Fe worldwide in its celebrity.

The most famous Millet Of all land perhaps
the most famous modern painting in the worldl
is Of course tho "Angelus." 1t has been too
often described and reproduced to have the
charm of novelty; but 1t does not need this
charm. 1t is q work which those whom it
pleases at first sight will like better as they
know It more. There are other Millets more
rich in color. more vigorous in line. moro amaz-
ing to painters eye In treatment But there
is more than one reason why 1t will doubtless
always be the most popular. 1t has well been
said that 1t appeals to two senses at once-wo
perceive the scene and we fancy we hear tho
sound OF the distant bell. And 1t is In
stinct with that deep religious feeling
which is sure to speak to the heart
OF the multitude. and has charm and value In
art even for those who do not prize 1t in life.
In this respect no other Millet can rival the
"Angelus." while the rank generally accorded
to its purely pictorial qualities is shown by the
fact that 1t was considered the gem among the
modern works In the secretan collection, and
by the thrice familiar tale Of the steps by which
