deep sense of gratitude, and this
has been added to by the conf.
dence reposed in me by the
country electorate, as expressed
by the vote cast for me on
January %.
This has not lessened because
I failed to receive d majority OF
the votes cast. During the
campaign much feeling was
expressed and bitterness en-.
gendered. Business has been
unsettled and generally disturb
ed, a condition which l do not
wish to prolong. Whatever may
be my personal ambition, l be-
lieve that my duty to the State
and to those friends who stood
by me so loyalty demands that ]
sacrifice my aspirations, and in
that manner lend what effort

The Jibaros Gave One Spanish Gov.

If you are looking for a real wild
Indian seek the Jibaro. Perhaps you
never heard of him, but you should.
for he's the widest. most savage and
uncultured type OF redskin who thrives
today. War and the Jibaro are synony-
nous. No other Indian tribe In history
has SO determinedly and successfully
resisted efforts to conquer 1t as this
tribe Of the .Jibaro.
Today the Jibaro. $1,000 strong. rule
supreme over the vast forest regions
Of Eucador between the Santiago and
Pataso rivers and southwark to the
Amazon. II IS one Of the most pictur-
esque and primitive of all surviving
tribes of redskins. Once when partly
subjugated to Spanish rule they were
goaded to rebellion by enforced labor
in the minas of their taskmasters and
marched 10000 strong into the strong
hold of their enemy and in n night
completely annihilated the $4,000 in
habitants. AS an example of their
savagery they killed the governor by
pouring molten gold down his throat in
order that be might have his fill Of
gold"
Like tactics are still pursued, and
the .Jibaro is little molested. War Is
their normal condition. their favorite
weapons being the lance. the %javelin
and the blow gun with poisoned ar
rows, which have served them with
deadly efficiency.
Little is known Of their religious or
NEUROLOGICAL beliefs. There are about
HOO Jlbar0S who are Christians. but

customs. Catholic Encyclopedia.

MILLE1's RIOT IN coLoRs.
The Artist Enraged the Critics, but
Forced RECOGNITION.

ES@S9iihi0ta f
In his early years as an artist the
late Frank d. Millet had a hard strug-
gle to gain recognition. He sem 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 or a lady in black
sitting on a bright red sofa. standing
against a vivid yellow background.
The effect was just a trifle startling.
Friends who saw 1t in the process OF
production expostulated with him and
asked him what he was going to do
with 1t. They were astounded when
be announced that he 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.
II killed everything within twenty feet
On either side of 1t. You couldn't help
looking at it. 1t 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
ridiculed 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 il to the ~seclusion Of his own
home.
When the next exhibition came off
Millet had another picture ready. one
Of n very different sort and very good.
but no better than others which he had
exhibited before. The critics had much
to say about it and noted with pleas
ure the marked Improvement that
Mr.. Millet had made. IAN evidence"
as they modestly put 1t. "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.
