Annie was five. He had baked and scrub

was child, and in his clumsy way he had
sewed on buttons and darned rents and
washed her little face and hands, as tender

she grew into big girl and went to the
grammar school, he still knew all about
her hats and clothes and he still tried
to save her pretty hands, and sfted the
ashes and waited on her, and was
proud of her just as he al

Mr.. John la Fargo. who said:
'Sir John Millais is the man for the

out of the artists. He is a popular man,

ANY honors conferred on an artist so
renowcnd as Sir John MillaiS are sure ia
excite general interest. The issue OF
the election of Il successor to Lord Leigh
ton as President of the ROYAL Academy
has therefore been watched with close
attention Ivy all who are in any degree
interested in art on both sides of the At
lanic. In view Of this we have secured
interviews with number Of distinguish
ed American art critics, and the results
are given below. In general fitness for
the position Mllais is considered first
among British artists. and it is evident
that no action could be taken more gencr-
ally satisfactory than his election to the
office which was first held by the cele-
brated Sir Joshua Reynolds, and which

the difficulty is incidentally increased
by the apparent necessity, from the Bri-
tish standpoint, of qualifications outside
mere professional achievement.
Eastman johnson, responding most
cordially to the request for an interview,
said: L had for some time been wonder
ing who would follow Lord Leighton as
President of the Royal Academy, but
understood that Sir John Millais had de-
clined to run for the office. l think he
will be the right man in the right place.
Men are not elected Presidents of the
Royal Academy entirely on account OF
their artistic qualities. Other consider
ations have very great weight; for ex-
ample social standing. From this point
of view | am not able to judge of Mil
lais's qualifications. I take it that
Leighton was the most brilliant since Sin
