Waking Francois.

The name OF Millet, the painter, has
been made familiar TO many besides
art students by his "Angelus." How
the genius OF the artist was reused
and encouraged is told in his blogra-
ply.
The most original person OF the fam
lily and the one who had the most In
fuence upon Millet was his grand
mother. She was an old country wom-
an Of intense religious faith, living in
God. seeing everything In God and
mingling God In every scene OF nature
and every act OF life.
One OF Miliet's earliest recollections
was Of his grandmother waking him
when he was quite a little child and
saying to him:
up, my little Francoisi II you only
knew what long time the birds have
been singing the glory OF Godw
When he had to leave home to go to
Paris his grandmother said, 81 would
rather see you dead than unfaithfui to
Gods commands"
At later time, when he had begun
to make his way in Paris. she reminded
him again:
Remember, my Francois, that you
were a Christian before You were q
painter. Paint for eternity and think
that the trump which will call to judg-
ment Is on the eve OF sounding"

legal talent, he approached one Of the
most prominent American attorneys In

through carefully to see II he could
lind some way OF bringing it before the
supreme court OF the United States.
He ended the interview by saying that
