MILLE1'S RIOT IN COL0RS.
The Artist Enragcd the Critics. but
Forced Recognition.

In his early years rs an artist the
late Frank ID. MiIlet had a hard strug-
gle to gain recognition. He sent pic
lures to exhibitions. to be sure. and
good pictures they were. but no one
paid any particular attention to them
or said anything about them.
One day Millet conceived an idea.
He painted a picture of a lady in black
sitting on Il bright red sofa. standing
against Il vivid yellow background
The effect was just a trife startling.
Friends who saw it in the process Of
production expostulated with him and
asked him what he was going TO do
with it, They were astounded when
be announced that be was going to
send it to the exhibition. They told
him the critics would wipe the floor"
with him. They can't do that with
out mentioning me-" said Millet quiet
ly. "and they've never even done that.
as yet"
To the exhibition the picture went.
1t killed everything within twenty feet
on either side of it. You couldn't help
looking ut it. It simply knocked you
down and held you there.
The critics got into a towering pas
sion over it. They wrote whole col
umns about it. They exhausted the
English language in abusing it. They
ridicuIed the committee that permit
ted it to be hung. They had squibs and
gibes about it. but every time they
spoke of it they mentioned Frank Mil
let. He suddenly became the best
known artist in town. Somebody. be-
cause of the stir it had made. bought
the picture at a good price and re-
moved it to the S~eclusion of his WI
home.
When the next exhibition came Off
Millet had another picture ready. n
OF a very different sort and very good.
but no better than others which he had
exhibited before. The critics had much
to say about il and noted with pleas
ure the marked Improvement" that
Mr.. Millet had made. ian evidence"
as they modestly put ii. "of the value
of criticism. even though severe. TO a
young artist" And the majority Of
them never realized that Millet had
simply compelled their attention by a
clever trick.

process of thrashing him.
Though they are brave. they are in
veterate thieves and very subtle in
their methods of carrying out their
thefts and ~concealing their guilt by
lies. Indeed. one. Of their favorite
notices is. Keep a grave face even
though you laugh behind your hand"
When sickness ONE TO these people
they believe that it Is one of their enc

Ghosts like hot cooked meat. 50 meat

the dwelling the evil spirit greediiy

This pOtted ghost is then taken away
from the village and buried. the spot

The position of rest for these people
is a half sitting posture, and when
they are holding a council they will
remain in this posture as long as ten
hours. When they die 1t is in this
resting position that they are buried.
If it should be the king who dies his
