Ha paints pictures and writes magaiiao article! in tixes of peace, but when a war is "oa" ha becomes a "war corre spondent," aad it likely to tura up ia the Soudan, the Transvaal or the Bab kaos. Bat there wss a time when bo n was not k-own. Ha sent pictures to ex hibitions, to be sure, and good oac, but no one paid aay particular attention to them or said anything about them. One day he conceived an ides. Hn painted a picture of a lady ia black ait ting oa a bright red sofa standing against a vivid yellow background. Tho effect was just a trifle startling. Friends who saw it ia process of production ex postulited with him, and asked whit he was going to do with it. They wero simply astounded whn he announced that ho was goia" to send it to the ex hi.ition. They labored with him, but in vain. They told him th t the critics would 'wipo the flor" with ' him. "They can't do that without mention ing me," said Frank, quietly, "and they'vo never even done that yet." To I the exhibition tho picture went. It killed everything within twenty feet on cither side of it. You couldn't help looking at it. It simply knocked ycu down and held you there. Tho critica got into a towering passion over it. They wrote whols columns about it. They exh&u ted the Eiglish language in abusing it. They lidicu'cd the com mittee that permitted it to bo Lu ig. They had squibs-and gibes about it, Lut every timo they spoke of it they men tioned Frank Millet. II sudJenly be came tho best known artist in town. Saraebody, because of the stir that it had made, bought the pictu-o at a good pricy and removed It to the seclusion of his own homo. "hcn tho next exhi bition came oil Fraak had another pic ture ready, one of a very different sort, and very, good, lut no better than others which had been exhibited be fore. The critics had much to say about it, aad "noted with p'easuro the marked improvement" that Mr. Millet had made, ''aa evidence," ns th?y mod estly put it, "of the value of criticism, even thou h severe, to a youv nrti L" And a majoiity of them m v.-r saw that Frank had imply com polled their at tention by a clever trick.
