STRUGGLES OF AN ARTIST.
Story of the Peasant Painter MiIIet and
 "The Anqeus."

Story of the Peasant Painter MiIlet and
 "The AngeIus."
 It was only after long years of strug- gle and dire poverty. through which Millet was consoled and supported by his wife. that the peasant painter was able to take the three roolned cottage at Barbizon and "try to do something really gOod.'
 It was then that he began to paint that most beautiful poem of poverty. "The Angelus,' which is today one of the most valuable pictures in the world. Again and again he threw aside the picture in despair of ever finishing it to his satisfaction. and as often his wife replaced it on the easel and in duced him to continue.
 On one occasion he was so incensed at not being able to produce certain effect that he seized a knife and would have destroyed the canvas and ended the matter once for all had not his wife fortunately seized his hand and in duced him to give the picture another trial.
 Thus it was that at last "The An geius" found place on the walls of the Louvre. The success it won en- couraged Millet to paint many more pictures and thus place himself among the immortals in art.

LIFE AND LONGEVITY.

Simply Preioneins Ones Days on Earth
 10 Not Real Living.
 What really constitutes life? Is it action, or is it merely existence? Who Is the more useful. the man who gives his all in energy to service or he who conserves his forces and thereby prolongs his days? He lives most who accomplishes most. Activity in useful, productive or constructive effort is the real test of life. Length of years may content some. but restless. energetic souls will press forward. regardless of time. striving for a goal they may nev- CT attain. but always striving. and these only really live.
 Life insurance presidents. being in terested in the prolongation of exist ence of risks. bend their efforts to the teaching of elements of living. the avoidance of excesses. exposures or unnecessary risks of any kind and in this way really serve the world be- cause they increase the productive years of man.
 AS result of modern methods man really lives longer and better. but this Is not the all in all of life. To live is to be active. to have part in the ere ative effort of mankind. regardless of whether the span be long or short. so long as it is busy. for ''an end is an end. whether it cometh on the winged heels of week or the dull stretch of a <on<,,rv y -(lrnoho Roo

Scene Paintinu,

In the past half century and more. especially since the improvement of the electric light. scene painting has be- come very elaborate and very expen- sive. Instead of being kept in its proper place as the decoration of the drama. as a beautiful accessory of the action. 1t has often been pushed to the front, so as to attract attention to it. self and thereby to distract attention from the play which it was supposed to illuminate. Shakespeare has been smothered in scenery. and the art of the actor has been subordinated to the art of the scene painter.-Brander Mat thews in Scribner's Magazine.

Phonetic Spelling.

Phonetic spelling was evidently in fashion in the sixteenth century. when even Shakespeare could not spell his own name consistently. There is let ter dug from the correspondence of a lady of the sixteenth century in the book of the ''Cotswold Family"-the Hicks-Beaches. Juliana writes-it is a matter of debt between the cautious widow and My lord Kalder''-"My lord Ammaril and your wife l honour and love. but your false swearing and promise I hoterle pore" What she really meant was utterly abhOr."- London Telegraph.

$4,000 FOR
MEXICAN RELIEF

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.-Further
relief work by the American Red
Cross in Mexico City where thousands
are dependent upon charity for food.
has been made possible by a con-
tribution Of $4,000 from the Rookie
teller foundation. Brigadier General
Devol. general manager OF the ked
Cross. announced tonight that he had
telegraphed Charles J. O'Connor. the
society's representative in the Mexi-
can capitol. asking what money would
be needed for the next thirty days and
advising that all reasonable demands
could be met.
When the Rockefeller contribution
came yesterday in response TO a re
quest from General Dsvol. the Red
Cross Mexican relief treasury mad
been empty since September 1. Al
that time Mr.. O'Connor was notified
That funds were exhausted and that II
might be necessary TO discontinue his
work. He replied. however. that ne
had sufficient supplies on hand to
last about three weeks longer
II is believed that the $25.OOj now
in hand will keep the Mexican CITY
establishment going for at least an
other month. In the meantime other
subscriptions viii be sought. as there
apparently is no prospect of condi-
lions In the city improving to such
an extent as to make relief operations
unnecessary for a long time to come.
NO further appeal TO the general
pubic Tor contributions is contsm-
plated. Such an appeal several
months ago brought in $4,000.
