sroRY on A FAMous ARTIST.


In the picturesque city of Seville was
born in 1917 the greatest painter OF
Spain, BartolOme Murllo. His father
was a mechanic, and the family though
once very wealthy, had become poor.
Bnrtolome had been consecrated to the
church, for his mother was very anxious
for him to be priest, but she soon had
to give up all such plans, for he showed
his artistic talent at a very early age.
One day, when left at home while his
mother was at church he took picture
Of "Jesus and the Lamb and painted
his own hat on the infant Sayior's head
mud changed the lamb into dog. All
during school hours he was continually
drawing pictures ON the margins of hi
books and on tho walls, and many a good
scoldng he got for it. too
AIurillo studied art in his uncle's studio
When only - years old he was LETT Ut
terly dependent upon himself, for his
father aud mother were both dead ans
his uncle had gone away. Murillo was
then very poor and not at all famous anu
he set UP an open air studio IN q public
market place. where cntnbles and OLD
clothes were sold. There he painted his
pictures and sold them to the people
who came to buy in the market place
He worked there for two years, lie
was crazy 10 travel, TO see famous paint
ers and famous cities, but he had no
money.
One day he bought piece Of linen.
cut II into pieces, and on them painted
pictures Of saints, fruits and flowers He
finally sold them and then he started on
foot over The SeriVis. to Madrid. When
he reached there he bad neither money
nor friends, but he was not discouraged
forhe knew IN that city he would find
the famous pictures he wished TO study.
He made his way to Nelasquez, then a
great artist and an influential man. Vel
asquez was very kind to him and made
him come TO his own home TO live. There
he met al the leading Spanish artist
and prominent court people. lle stayed
there for three years. and then went
back 10 Seville. He spent three years in
painting eleven pictures for n convent.
These pictures made him famous and he
rot more orders than be could fill.
Just at this time Murill0 married a
very wealthy lady. and his married life
turned out TO be very happy one.
MANY Of his mndannas are the likeness
of his wife, aud his two sons were his
models for The infants Jesus and John.
In 1860 Murillo established an ncad-
envy Of art In Seville lie was very gem
erous and gave all that he earned by
painting TO the poor,
His last picture was begun when he
was CO years old lie was on q scaifold
painting picture in the Capuehin
church at Cadiz, and falling down. IA.
tally injured himself, He was buried
win distinguished houorE, for all Seville
loved and honored him. Over his grave
was placed q stone slab on which were
carved his name, a skeleton and the
words in Latin, Live as one who IL
about to die NInrilo was good, as
well az great man.

Important Considerations Involved in the
Good Roads Question.
Not simply comfort and convenience
in the daily intercourse OF social life,
but economical considerations of vast
Importance are involved in the ques-
ton Of improved roads throughout our
country The most cursory study of
statistics showing the distance over
the average wagon roads Of our coun-
try through which load Of wheat will
pay its own transportation is con-
vincing object lesson to any man con-
corning the wealth producing, labor
saving, food cheapening effect Of good
roads. A farm twelve miles from a
railroad station In district with good
roads is worth more than one equally
good three miles removed from the
railroad where the roads are as bad as
they are in many farming districts
where the land is rich.
Civilization has been well defined as
the 'aggreate manifestation of the
mastery which mind has attained over
matter among a given people at a
given time" This definition will bear
careful thought, and few physical
tests more Immediately indicate the
degree Of civilization which q COM
munity has reached than docs the con.
dition Of its streets and roads. Merrill

The Poultry Business.

The raising Of poultry on the farms
of the country is not as general as it
should be, nor is the subject ever given
thought, as a rule, when figuring on
the most profitable or productive crops
to cultivate. 1t is no secret that the
staple products furnish the smallest
profits for the investment Of money.
time and labor involved. The raising
of turkeys, chickens, geese and ducks
brings more money 70 the farmer or
farmers wife on the investment, than
anything else that can be named.
Rarely failure except through gross
neglect, they are always marketable at
a profit either alive or dressed; apart
from them the eggs alone bring in quite
a revenue The favorable conditions
essential to success in raising other
crops are not demanded. and no good
excuse can be offered for not raising
more or less in every state in the union.
