In Paint ggyts
White Lead is best; properly applied
it v I not scale, chip, chalk, or nib
off; it firmly adheres to the wood and
forms a permanent base for repainting.
Paints which peel or scale have to be
removed by scraping or burning before
satisfactory repainting can be done.
Wheu buying it is important to obtain
Strictly Pure
White Lead
properly made. Time has proven that
white lead made by the "Old Dutch"
process of slow corrosion possesses
qualities that cannot be obtained by
any oth?r method of manufacture. This
prucess consumes four to six months
timi, and produces the brands that
have given M/hite Lead its character
as the standard paint.
"Armstrong & McKelvy"
" Beymer-Bauman" "Fahnestock"
" Davis-Charabcrs"
are standard brands cf strictly pure
Lead made by the "Oid Dutch" pro
cess. You get the best in buying them.
You can produce any desired color by
tinting these brands of white lead with
National Lead Co.'s Pure White Lead
Tinting Colors.

THE CITIZEN
The Literary Club.
Mr- I.ion began at her Thursday
"afternoon,"
When she had Professor Stargaze give a
lecture on the moon:
And we women applaaded till we made
the rafters ring.
And we said the dear Professor was "too
sweet f«-r anything "
We agreed then in uniting for to elevate
the tone
Of onr afternoon receptions, which too
frivolous bad grown:
And we then discussed the forming of a
circle which we'd dub
The women's Thursday Semi-Social Club.
We had gatherings very pleasant every
Tbursdav after four,
Where yon'd meet distinguished folks and
charming people by the score;
No ordinary mortals, no clods of common
clay;
Ton must sißg, or paint, or "elecute," or
else have writ a play.
If you'd even made a sonnet, or could col
or 011 a tile.
And you wore your hair or whiskers in a
weird eccentric style,
Then with open arms we'd greet you on
our metapboric knees,
For Mrs. Chase's salon is composed of such
as these.
There was Mrs. Hyphen-Shudder, who had
been upon the stage.
And Marie O'Dswd Rantero, whose recit
ing was the rage;
Mme. Pose, the Delsarte teacher, with her
gowns of draping care.
And Professor I'npronouncem, with his
Paderewski hair;
Miss Amateurio Dimple, who could sing a
little song.
And the palmist, and ojournal
ist gone wrong.
And Christian Science Shekel, who was
lately from the Hub;
Oh, we'd lots of cultured people at the
Literary Club.
The meetings Vere so lovely, with the
tapers burning low,
And mandolins a-tinkling, in the pink and
perfumed glow,
While we talked of themes hypnotic, and
young I)r. Owlnmbat -
Spoke of "mind waves" and ''brain cur
rents," and of far off things like that..
With Miss Dimple picturesqaely coiled at
Mrs. Shudder's knee,
And Mine. Pose performing in a Grecian
garment free,
And society reporters, looking swaggerest
of all,
Lingering somewhere in the distance near
the punch bowl in the hall.
But at last it was suggested on a certain
awful day
For to introduce a dancer who would
while an hour away,
And she came and saw and conjured, with
a kick of airy grace.
Which she deftly executed in a cloud of
fleecy lace;
The men fought for introductions when
she made her final bow.
And the members didn't like it. There
was no end of a row,
And every man went smiling in her eyes,
as to his doom;
The fact is, she cut out every other woman
in the room.
Then a wave of indignation swept the
meeting to its core,
And Miss Amateurio said that she would
come no more;
While a very cultured person—Mis.: Med
usa Browning Greggs,
Said she didn't like convention, but she
drew the line at lees.
Then the men grew rude and vulgar, and
that horrid Owlnmbat
Said we women all were jealous and were
talking through our hat,
And that's the real reason of the recent
sad hubbub
That broke up the Woman's Semi Social
Li'erary Club.

—ln an Agricultural Department bulle
tin occurs this advice
Always remove the bark from felled ;
timber to aid Reasoning, but not from the j
standingtree
Never allow the log to lie directly on ,
the moist soil.
If winter-felled, shape the timber to sire, |
within two weeks after felling and leave it j
placed on blocks—not upon the soil —in •
the forest; or, if shaped at home, place in a 1
dry, airy, not windy position, awav from j
sun and rain.
If dried too rapidly, wood warps and
splits, the cracks collect water, and the
timber is then easily attacked and destroy
ed by rot.
With large logs, checking may be pre
vented by coating the ends with »ome fat
ty or oily substance, mixed with brick
dust.
—George Washington was born IGI years

—A current item says: "About 5.000
words in the English language have no
rhyme to them. These include such im
portant words as honor, virtue, gulf, month

—Why were they called the Sandwich
■ Islands fis a question thst naturally arises
these times. Captian Cook, the discoverer
ol the islands, named the group after the
i First Lord of the British Adinirality at the

the most dissolute men of dis day. He in
vented that form of food which was named

Drunkenness, or the Liquor Habit, Posi
tively Cured by administering Dr.
Haines 'Golden Specific."
It is manufactured as a powder, which
can be given in a glass of beer, a cup of
coffee or tea,or in food, without the know
ledge of the patient. It is absolutely
harmless, and will affect a permanent and
speedy cure, whether the patient is a mod
erate drinker or an alcoholic wreck. It has
been given in thousands of cases, and in
every instance a perfect cure has followed.
It never fails. The system once impregnat
ed with the Specific, it becomes an otter
impossibility for the liquor appetite to ex
ist. Cures guaranteed. 48 page book of
