AN ARTISTS SUDDEN SUCCESS.

From The Hartford Post.
-. It\has been said that In France fame has wings,
and Mat by a single great success she carries her
votary TO the top. Mr.. Flagg illustrates the truth
of this by relating anecdote OF a young Eng isn-
man named Hawkins. He poor that he
lived bread alone, soaking his LOAF, bit by BIT,
In two or three sous worth OF wine. He would sell
pictures for five six francs apiece and that sort
of grind wen. for years. AT last he painted big
picture, which al the boys thought SO fine that
they Clipped In for cheap frame and sent II to
the Salon. It was landscape. showing grave
yard, with children playing In the sunlight. but
there was no cheap sen,mentailty about lit was
made HIN set big price on it-something like
1000 francs.
:syVeil had a picture In the Salon that year, so
I went in on vanishing day and wandered up and
down among the notables looking for my picture.
Suddenly, saw the sky Of Hawklnss pieiure-;ha,
there was Iktie MISSIONER gesticulatng and ex-
Gaimingr That's the best thing In tne whole sSa:
ION 30 and Bastien Lapage was pointing out this and
that IN it. and ali the artists we're admirins and
chattertng. And do you know, he was the succe IS
o. the year? The picture was bought that day for
IL full price. and the next day the carrases were
5oid every rag in the place for any price he chose
10 sst upon Ii. He managed to ho.d on TO his sue
