10 Not Real Living.
What really constitutes life? Is it
action, or is 1t 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 il 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 new
er attain. but always striving. and
these only really live.
Life insurance presidents, being In
terested In the prol0ngation Of exist
ence Of risks, bend their efforts to the
teaching of elements Of living, the
avoidance Of excuses, 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 IL

alive effort of mankind. regardless OF
whether the span be long or short, sc
long as it is busy. for IAN end is an
end. whether 1t cometh on the winged
heels of a week or the dull stretch of 9

STRUGGLES OF AN ARTIST.
Story of the Peasant Painter Millet and
1.-THE Angelus"

Tho Angelus"
1t 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 roomed cottage
at Barbizon and TRY to do something
really good"
1t was then that he began to paint
that most beautiful poem of poverty.
1.-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 II
to his satisfaction, and as often his
wife replaced 1t on the easel and In
duced him to continue.
On one occasion he was so incensed
at not being able to produce a certain
effect that he seized 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 1t was that at last THE An.
gelus' found a 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

federal representatives from the meet
ing was due to their failure to receive
notice.
State Grain Inspector Jarboe said he
had not expected to be called on but
was glad to place at the disposal of
on the subject. The present price of
the farmers such information as he had
charters was 95 shillings the ton, the
Minnesota having been taken at that
rate last week. This was a freight rate
from Puget Sound to Liverpool of So
cents the bushel Charters this season
had averaged above so shillings. Last
year they started ut 30 to 80 shillings,
but when war was declared advanced
to rs. Normal rates are about 32
shillings for steamers and % for sail
ers. The average ocean rate for six
years prior to the war was a fraction
less than IA cents the bushel. The
present rate from New York to Liver
pool was As cents. Last year it was
% cents.
He said the reason one exporter had
most of the tonnage was because he
had taken all that offered when 9th
ers considered the rates too high. The
high rate was due to the war. The
rate on lumber for some time had
been 225 shillings or $57 the thousand
feet. No lumber had moved at this
rate 1t was now 1875 shillings.
Millers Look to Coast Grain.
The crops of the middle west were
poor grade. For that reason millers
in that section were buying on the
Coast. Farmers as rule were hold
ing their wheat. Receipts at Portland,
Tacoma and Seattle were 5000 cars less
than at the same date last year. Wheat
warehoused at Portland was subject to
milling or export, but if stored in a
class A warehouse at Seattle or Tacoma
was held until sold by the owner and
could not be substituted. The market
has shown steady upward tendency
and this was due to the holding by the
farmers.
Asked by Mr. Lawrence if MIR
Houser, having effected his eariie1
charters at rs and 80 shillings ant
the later one at 95 shillings, could no
afford to pay more than he was do

funnel is filled with thermite. Their
