Tell me not of hands heroic
battling tor our fellow men ;
Of the helping hand ol woman
Or the hand that wields the pen :
Nor the hand that beats the carpet
On the hack yard fence unfurled ;
For the hand that teats four aces
Is the hand that rules the world.

Francois Millet eldest son of the
great Millet and himself a painter
tells this story of the famous
“Angelus.” “It was thirty-four
years ago. My father had not suc-
ceeded in selling the picture. He
could hardly show it to any one. No-
body wanted it. One day however
an American amateur made an oiler
.which my father accepted only too
happy at the prospect of receiving
some money; but on the next day he
received a letter from this gentleman
telling him that having reflected he
would not buy the picture as it was
too small for the price. At last my
father sold it for 1800 francs.” The
money paid at one time and another
for the painting shows how it has
grown valuable with age. It was
sold first by Millet to Alfred Feydeau
for $360 by Feydeau in 1870 for $6OO
and was bought not long afterward
by Van Praet for $lOOO. He tired of
it because every visitor stopped be-
fore “The Angelus” and murmured.
“You can actually hear the bell.”
This in time so irritated the owner
that he exchanged it with John W.
Wilson for another work by Millet.
It was of \\ ilson that Secretan bought
“The Angelus” for $32000 and now
the last price it fetched was $110600.
BACK TO THE FOOTHILLS.
RETURNING FROM BERMUDA WITH A
LITTLE HOPE IN A BOX.
The Man from the Foothills Was a Little
Disappointed by Ills Trip but Thinks
He May Be Able to Conquer the "Ang-
wee.*'
I’m back from Bermudy ag’in said the man
from the foothills. You must mind my tell-
ing you a month or so ago that I was bound
for Bermudy don’t you? Course you must
I was just in from the foothills of the Sierras
you know and told you I was homesick for
Bermudy Why? You mind why. don’t you*
I ain’t afraid to bet you dol Scorpions was
why.’ I had been used to scorpions you know
and they didn’t have any out there among
the foothills. Had tarantulies. Had tarantu
lies till you couldn’t see. And rattlesnakes
You mind 1 told you ’bout the tarantulies and
the rattlesnakes. Certainly you do. But
they wasn’t enough to drive angwee away
even with Injins to help ’em. and 1 got to
pinin’ for somethin'
Pined and pined and couldn’t 'count for it.
You must mind how I told you that I pined
and pined. It’s funny if you don’t. Then it
busted out on me all of a sudden that what
ailed ine was scorpions. Sure. Nothing else
in the world but scorpions and that I’d been
gulpin' bitters for dyspepsy by the gallon
aud rattlin' pills into me for my liver seven
at a rattle and three rattles a day I And all
that ailed me was scorpions! Homesick fer
’em. So I turned my heels and struck for
Bermudy where I used to live and where
there was scorpions as well as tarantulies to
cheer a fellow up. Well I’ve been to Ber
mudy.
A SCORPION DISAPPOINTED MAN.
But I’m back ag’in. Disappointed. You’ve
often been disappointed hain’t you? Course
you have. A man that says he hain’t been
disappointed it’s safe to call a liar. Providin
he hain’t too big. Some men may be liars
and not know it anil yit it wouldn't be safe
for you to break the news to ’em. Don’t you
know it wouldn’t? Hope so If you don’t
know it things may go hard with you some
time unless you’re pretty handy on the scrap
yourself. You’ve been disappointed of
course. But you hain’t never been disap
pointed in scorpions. Few people has. I’m
one of’em. 1 went to Bermundy with anti
cipations rosier than a song-ami -dance girl’s
cheeks. 1 came back from Bermundy with
the rosy all bleached out of ’em. I’m a scor
pion-disappointed man. If you had pined for
'em like I pined you’d know what that means.
But you don't know do you? Bet the drinks
you don’t!
I was rosy I’m tellin’ you when I sighted
Bermudy ag’u! Couldn’t hardly wait to git
ashore. 1 could almost see what 1 was pinin
for. I could hear their toes rattlin’ over the
sand an scratchin’ along the eeilin’s and up
the walls. 1 could shut my eyes and see ’em
crawlin’ out o’ my shoes when i woke up in
the mornin’s and sportin over my stockings
and poppin' in and out o’ my pants legs as
they laid on the floor. I was cheerin’ up al
ready But what did I find when I landed
on Bermudy? You can’t guess. Bet you
anything you can't! Why they didn’t let
scorpions come out and hustle around and
cheer folks any more! People that couldn’t
appreciate ’em bad got to loafin’ ’round Ber
mudy and they objected to scorpions! Sc
folks iiad took t? discouragin’ ’em. Why
they’deven fell to killin’ cm. Actually killin'
scorpions! Aftey all my pinin’ and pinin’ I’d
gone all the way to Bermudy to ketch angwee
worse than ever! It was tough.
I roamed around hopin’ to git a little cheer
out of the scramblin’ and a scratchin’ and the
peggin’ away at one another of a few scor
pions on the sly. But somebody was always
around with a club. Biff! was all the en-
couragement a scorpion got when it showed
itself. May l>e you might have Peered lately
that there’s generally a scorpion or two
waltzes out of nearly every bunch o’ bananas
that comes from Bermudy now? Though!
ye had Everybody’s beerd that. Scorpions
are comhi’ in reg’lar with the bananas now
Why so? Bet you can't tell! Course you
can’t. They’re emigratin’. They’re sneakin'
away from Bermudy. They can’t stand
bein’ persecuted. They’re leavin’ the land o'
their birth and strikin' out for liberty or
death. You’ll be gettin’ them right along
now. You didn’t use to git anything but
tarantulies. But you’ll be gettin’ scorpions
right along now. But they won’t be en
c?uraged here neither' They might as well
stay home
HIS FUTURE PROSPECTS.
So you see 1 couldn't stand it in Bermudy
It was breakiu’ my heart I’m Gick ag’in
I’m bound fer the foothills once more. But
1 hain’t goin alone Bet yer life 1 hain’t.
I’ve got a little box full o’ hope and I)m
takin’ that with me Here's the box The
hope is inside of it It is fifty chipper and
sassy scorpions right from Bermudy Them
holes is fer ’em to breathe through. Each one
lias a section all to hitnself. If he hadn’t
there is so much cheerfulness stowed away in
each one ’em tha* they couldn’t hold them
selves and they'd chew one another up. Shall
I raise the kiver and let ye have a look at
’em? No? Don't like ’em hey? Some folks
don’t. I’ll bet you’d even kill a scorpion
now if you’d meet one! Darned if I kin see
what some folks is made of I
But I’m takin’ this little box full o’ hope
with me back to the foothills. I’m goin' to
turn it loose out there. 1 don’t know whether
it’ll take to the adobe grounds or not. Can’t
tell. But if you should drop out that way in
the course-of a couple years or so hunt me up.
If you find me wearin’ a wide brimmed white
hat with bangles on it two pistols and a
knife in my belt and clangin’ around with
six inch spurs on consider that this lit tle box
o' hope has look root in the foothills and
sprouted and is flourishin' like a green l>ay
boss. Consider that any one has been knocked
so fur from the foothills it'll never hear Ga-
briel blow. But if you run ag'in me settin'
on a rock wearin’ a yaller straw hat with no
rim to it and sportin’ no gun and no boots
to fasten a spur to and smokin' sage brush
leaves in a corncob pipe consider that the
soil of the adobe framed foothills wasn’t rich
enough for that little hope o' mine to git a
holt in. You kin consider that angwee has
got me harder than ever and that I’m a-pinin
a hopeless pine even while the tarantulies
and the rattlers and the Inj ns is doin’ their
best to make things look cheerin’.—New York
