JEAN FRANCOIS MILLEt
Millet was one of tie most notcd
artists of Il last century lie was
born at Gr, ,enville, France, in tic
year 1914. His parents were poor
peasants. They had to work in
the field early and late to get the
scanty support for the family
Ills father was a lover Of natur
When he would be going to th
field to work he would say,
Little Francois, see how nicely

His mother was an educated

field to work the Grandmother

Jean had to assist in the field
worn when he was old enough.
AT the noon hour he would draw
while his father was asleep SOM.
times his father would get up, peep
over his shoulder, and see what
Jean was doing, and then go back
to bis st well pleased.
One day as Jean WAS coming
home from church he noticed an
old peasant bobbling along home.
Jean was so struck with the man
that he picked up a piece of char
coal and drew the picture of the
peasant on the wall.
People that saw it recognized ii
at once. jeans father said to him,
"Dear Francois, if l had been able

You away to study painting long

Jean went to Langlois and show

agreed TO take him as his pupil.
He put Jean to copying casts

:. At.the farmers, meeting on Thurs
day evening last the general subject
of taxes was discussed. Mr.. Porter
explained to some extent the signiti-
canoe Of his corporation tax bill. The
fact that the farmer now has to pay
on about everything he has" formed
the basis of all that was said in this
informal discussion. Gasoline engines
came in for share of attention and
as some farmers used these the idea
was to bring them into the list of
farming tools and exempt them from
taxation. Mr.. Gale was asked to
draft bill defining farming tools"
that are exempt and including gaso-
line engines. A plea was put in for
the relief for the smaller corporations,
which We're now taxed too heavily,
Double taxation was also talked about
as hard thing to wrestle with and
for which to find a remedy. s.S-

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Capitol Happenings. Facts of Leg
islation. Fads and Fallacies
of Legislators.

SENATOR Sutton's bill repeating the
section of Vermont Statues which
makes it crime to defame a court
brought on a scrap in the Senate that,
for the first time this session, showed
bitterness. The bill was reported adj
versely by the committee but Senator
Sutton, it's author, was unwilling to
let the matter drop there. In q bitter
speech he opposed the powers of court
relating TO contempt proceedings. A
Supreme Court judge now has an au-
tocratic power equal to that of the
Gar of Russia or the Shah of Persia
he said; there is no limit to the ex-
tent to which judge may go in pur-
suit of some one against whom he has
personal grudge. The Senator re-
cerred to the contempt proceedings
now in court against himself for say
ing that no Democrat could secure
justire before Vermont courts. He
denied having said those words, but
stated that he shonld have been justi-
mis- replied to Senator Sutton's argu-
ment but not to his personalities. He
explained that the meaning of the
word 'defame" includes the idea of u
false assertion and that the statement
of Mr.. Sutton was false one. The
Senate sat down on Mr.. Sutton by
killing his bill.
The committee on ways and means
had meeting on Tuesday afternoon,
but as nobody was prepared to speak
against the two bills touching corpo-
ration taxes the hearing was continued
to Wednesday afternoon of next week.
when it is expected that representa-
Af hn FOL atNI oil
phone and express companies will
have some reasons to give why these
bills should not pass. So far as known
there is nobody who cares to urge the
passage of either, unless it be Mr..
Porter, the introducer of the bill in
creasing the rate from two and one
half to five per cent, and Mr.. White
who introduced III. SO, equalizing the
corporation taxes. At yesterdays
meeting Mr.. Cushman, state commits
sioner of taxes, explained some points
of this forthcoming report.
One of the pleasantest meetings that
could be arranged-and one that was
wholly arranged--occurred in the
executive chamber this morning when
Admiral Clark and Commander Brown
of Norwich University strolled into
Tough and came face to face with Ex-
Governors Stewart and Ormsbee. The
surprise was mutual and the hilarity
that followed showed that all present
enjoyed good story and joke and not
few of snch were told. Governor
McCullough's laugh was Enthusiastically
the loudest
Senator Walbridge's speech on Mon
day was the longest yet in the Senate
and it was a good one, the only trouble
being that it was on the wrong side,
as the Senate viewed the matter. Sem
ator yelling spoke for the first time
this session and his remarks showed
him to be a clear thinker.
The compulsory vaccination bill
put in by Mr.. Peck of Brandon will
probably stir little breeze among the
large number of persons who are not
quite clear as to the constitutionality
of such proceeding in the face of an
earnest Discrimination to be vaccinat-
ed
