/ Wide Contrast.

There is a wide contrast between the
works of Millet and those OF Daubigry;
where the one is abrupt in utterance the
other Ia suave. and as the one is vigor-
Gus and forceful the other ID delicate and
refined None can fail to be attracted by
the robustness OF Millet's art. nor yet,
on the other hand. overlook the charm
of Daubigny's. About thirty of the great
landscape painters etchings are included
in this collection. pe OF which, however,
is a copy Of a painting by Ruysdael.
Curiously enough. in the majority of
instances, Daubigny introduces into his
landscape etchings some feature OF active
interest: deer, storks, sheep. cows, .
ferryboat. or a man. For some reason
these features seem to be dragged into
the composition to satisfy childish de-
mand on the part Of the public rather
than through original intention on the
part OF the etcher. and because Of this
in some instances seem to suggest misfit.
Deer In the Forest Is an excellent ex-
ample-the forest of slender bare trees
being a picture in itself without the
strange little yalloping deer. which Ia
some way seem iiterally to tntrude them
selves.

II was the greatness of being up In the

were in the way Of progress.
We laughed and chuckled at the
sensation we had caused. but cared no
more for the results than hired girl
who starts fire with kerosene.
It came on dark after while, and
all we had to do was to look at the
stars and the moon, and II seemed to
me that the stars were as big as 10.

When our balloon left st. Louis, and
got up In the air 80 far that the earth
looked like a piece Of rag carpet, with
popcorn scattered over It. which were
villages, and / realized that II anything
busted, we would be dropping for
hours before we struck church steep
lie, and would be SO dead when we hit
the ground, and stiff and cold, that
we would be driven down in the mud
30 far no one would ever find us, and
I looked ut the two fool men In the
basket with me, who didn't seem to
care what became. Of them, as though
they were unhappily married or had
money in shaky bank, ! began to
choke up, and the tears came to my
eyes, and I took long breath OF thin
air, and tainted dead away.
When tainted we were being driven
south, and when I came to, with
smell OF ammonia on my hair, we were
going east, and the balloon had gone
down within q mile Of the earth, and
the men gave me some hot tea out OF
a patent bottle. and pretty soon be-
gan to enjoy myself and wonder II /
could hit a mess Of negroes picking
cotton in a field, with a sand bag.
When you are up in the air so far
that q policeman cannot reach you.
you feel loose enough to insult men
that would knock your block of II you
should give them any lip when you
were on the ground.
We came down half mile more,
and I asked the boss man If might
throw sand bag at the negroes, and
he said might throw bundle of ad.
vertisements for liver pills at them, SO
! yelled: Hello you black rabbits"
and when the negroes looked up and
saw the balloon, they turned pale, and
dropped on their knees, and guess
they began to pray, and didn't mean
to interfere with their devotions, SO
threw a bottle of ginger ale at mule
hitched to wagon near them, and
when the bottle struck the mule on
the head and exploded and the ginger
ale began to squirt all over the colored
population, the mule ran one way with
the wagon, and the negroes ran for
the cane brakes. The boss man in the
balloon complimented me on being a
good shot. and said ! had many char.
acteristics of a true balloonist, and
probably before we got to the end of
the trip would get so I could hit a
church steeple with bag of ballast,
and break up a Sunday school in the
basement. He said that being up in
the rarefed air made man feel as
though he would like to commit MUIR
der, and I found out that was so, for

from the cross looking man In the
white uniform. and the boss balloon
man said: THAT Is a good shot, Bub.
for you landed that bundle OF alleged
dynamite square on the deck OF Ad'
miral Bob Evans flagship. Didn't you
hear him swear?" and then we went
on, and the man In the white uniform
was shaking his fists and his mouth
was working overtime. but We could.
mt hear the brand OF profanity he was
emitting. but We know he was going
some, for before we got out OF hearing
the bugles were sounding on more
than a dozen battleships, the men
came up from below and took positions
In the rigging and everywhere, and all
was alive with action, and the boss bal
loon man said the feet was preparing
for Its trip around the horn, to San
Francisco, and then / told the bal.
loon man that he couldn't land me a
minute too quick, because / was 60
ing to join that feet and 60 with Bob
Evans, II I never did another thing In
my life.
The inspiration came to me up
there In the rarefled air, and ] was as
sure I was going around the horn as
though I was already on one Of the
ships.
We sailed along part Of the day
and the gas began to give out, and
had to throw over ballast, and open
cans of food. and bottles Of stun to
drink, and / made some good shots
with the sand bags and the bottles.
Once I hit right in front Of brake
man on a freight train with a bottle
Of soda water, and again hit an
oyster schooner with a sand bag and
must have chuckled at least barrel
Of oysters. The gas kept escaping,
and presently we came down In q
field in Delaware, after ! had hit
chief Of police in Wilmington with q
bottle of beer, which is crime In
prohibition country, and after we
landed the police arrested the two
balloon men, and tied up the balloon.
They paid me $50 for my services,
and l took a train for Fortress Mon
zoe to join the fleet, and left the two
balloon men on the way to a whip
ping post.
