The Real MiIlet
(Scribner's)


Jean Francois Millet who lived hard
and died poor. is now perhaps the most
famous artist of the nineteenth CEN
fury His slightest work is fought for
by dealers and collectors. and his more
important pictures. if they chance to
change hands bring colossal and al
most incredible prices. And OF all
modern regulations his. so far as we
can see seems most likely to he en-
during If any painter of the lmmed-
late past is definitely numbered with
the great masters. it is he. Yet the
popular admiration for his art Is based
on a misapprehenson almost as pro-
found as that of those who decried anu
opposed him. They thought him Vio-
lent rude ill-educated. a man OF the
woods revolutionist. almost COM
munist We are apt to think of him
as a gentle sentimentalist. soul full
of compassion for the hard lot of the
poor, man whose art achieves great
ness by sheer feeling rather than by
knowledge and intellect. In spite of his
own letters, in spite of the testimony
of many who knew him we'll. In spite
of more than one piece of illuminating
criticism. these two misconceptions en-
dure; and. for the MANY Millet is si'
either the painter Of THE Man With
the Hoe" powerful but somewhat eX-
ceptional work. or the painter of Il
Angelus," precisely the least character
istic picture he ever produced. There
is legendary Millet. in many ways
a. very different man from the real one
and while the facts of his life are
we'll known and undisputed, the inter-
probation of them is colored by pre-
conceptions and strained to make them
fit the legend.
Altogether too much. for instance
has been made of the fact that Mile:
was born a peasant He was so. but
so We're half the artists and poets who
come np to Paris and fill the schools
and the cafes of the student quarters
To any one who has known these
Young rapins. and wondered at the
grave and distinguished members OF
the institute into which many of them
have afterw trd developed. it is evident
that this studious youth-who reac
Virgil in the original and Homer. ano
Shakespeare. and Goethe in transla-
tions-probably had much more Gull
tiyated mind and a much sounder edu-
cation than most of his fellow students
under Delaroche.

An almost capacity audience saw at
the Odeon Sunday night an excellent
production of "The Gingerbread Man,
the fanciful comedy with music that
has delighted audiences in this city

one of Nixon and Zimmerman's, and IL
was in every way up to the standard
of the cast which presented this pro-
duction here last.
No changes have been made IN the
piece, and an apparent and successful
effort has been made to sustain the
excellent personnel of the cast. Eugene
Moulan. brother of Frank Moulan,
made an excellent Gingerbread Man.

SIXTH STATE FAIR

The Montana State Fair of 1908,
o,ntarber 28-October 3, will I'M
J 5sp.btpdIv be the greatest in the
' w. Of the state. The institution
!, now six years old, and every fair
.,s boen better than its predecessor.
r,ooter effort is being put forth
II, wear than ever before, and
,roraI conditions are more favor
oHo The railroads of the state are
Generating to the fullest extent,
r.king a one fare round-trip rate
,rd q half rate on exhibits. While a
Great program of racing and at
troctious has been arranged, it may
10 stated that not a dollar Of the
tate appropriation goes to these
features. All of the funds appropri-
,+d nv the State are paid in premi-
INNS on livestock, agricultural, min
srsl and Industrial exhibits by Mont
ana people or placed in permanent
movements. Last year the sum of
g5OOO was paid in premiums on
exhibits. This money goes back to
tbe people as an encouragement to
improve their products in whatever
line they may engage. The influence
dthefair in widening the variety of
AGRICULTURAL products in Montana is
ingimable. In its encouragement Of
infant Industries in Montana, such
gpouItry raising, dairying by i'm
proved and economic methods, illus
aatiOns of crop rotation and con-
avatiOn, demonstrating that the
tuit area Of Montana is greater
han was supposed. the State Fair
has added hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the production by the
people Of the state. The chief reas-
ontOr its great success lies in the
TACT that it has been kept close to
the farmer and producer, following
closely the lines of the great agri-
cultural fairs of other states iii
which the farmer and the stock
grower are the dominating spirits.
Under the present management
ihatpOlicy will be maintained. The
growth of the State Fair may be IL
IStrated by the fact that in 1903
mere were 1900 individual entries
q Montana exhibitors, while in
1I there were more than 1900.
me cash premiums were in 1903
less than $1,000, while in 1907 they
aggregated $4,000.

About County Printing.

The Hope Dispatch contains some
what impassioned article concerning
what It terms "Grait and the County
Printing" 1t states that the print
ing is paid for at the full rates ii.ea !
bv the laws Of Kansas, the so-called
"legal'' rate, and that 1t ought 70 %
distributed among the outside papers
Of the county. The Dispatch is mis-
informed as to the rate--it has not
for twenty years at least been paid
for at legal rate, but all the time at
approximately two.thlrds Of that rate
and Is SO paid now. This Is divided
among three papers in order that all
families Of the county so far as pos
slble shall know what the county Is
doing with its income. Only those
things required bylaw to give this
information is printed and the whole
bill for the year Is less than $1,000.
Only two papers in the county the
REFLECTOR and the Chronicle. are
equipped to do the printing alone;
the present rates are SO low to each
that were the type not set in partner
ship there would be scarcely pay for
the work to say nothing Of the news
paper space. Dickinson county not
only pays less for its county printing
than almost any other county In the
state but has 1t given q wider circu-
lation among the taxpayers.

be moved. Finally the whole party
was taken in the motor coach and
reached Salina five minutes after the
curtain rose. The show was agood
one. Elmer Forney was little dis
appointed because there was no ballet
and Ralph Hoffman rather expected
a few gags on the city marshal and
night watch but on the whole it was
good performance.
