    Painting for
Profit
No one will question the superior
appearance « f we ainted property.
The question that the property-owner
asks is: “Is the appearance worth
the cost?”
Poor paint is
ance only.
Paint made from Pure Linseed Oil
and Pure White Lead is for lasting
appearance and for protection. It
saves repairs and replacements cost-
irig many times the paint investment.
The Dutch Boy trade mark is found
only on kegs containing Pure White

recalls that of a Japanese officer
who, while bef re Port Arthur, volun-

the ascension, but misjudged the air
currents, and, instead of going over
Port Arthur, drifted out to sea. He
might have been saved even then,
but as the night came on a storm
broke and the officer vanished. He
was connected with the imperial fam-

Dog Flags Train.
In Muskogee a negro who drives the
street sweeper has a fine bird dog,
which walks ahead of the sweeper at
night and carries a lighted lantern in
his mouth. The other night as he
was crossing the railroad track he
stopped a minute to look back, and
see if the sweeper was coming. Being
a dog of happy disposition he wagged
his tail, and incidentally
wagged at the same time. The
switching crew saw the light moving,
and stopped their train. It moved
again and they started, and the see-
saw motion was kept up for some
time, until the engineer was exhaust-
ed in operdTing his reverse lever. He
jumped off and ran back to see what
the signals meant, and when he saw
the cause of it he said something. It

Queen Adelaide.
Adelaide, queen consort of William
IV., king of Great Britain and Ireland,
was the eldest daughter of the Duke
and Duchess of Meiningen, a state in
Germany. Adelaide was born in the
year 1792. She was truly pious, be-
ing so devoul in her religious obser-
vances that she rarely took part in
any of the simple and innocent forms
of amusement so prevalent at that
time in court circles. Indeed, it was
this exemplary character which might
be said to have won for her a king
for a husband, for queen Charlotte of
England,
tues, recommended her as a fitting
companion for® her third son, William,
then duke of Clarence.
At Charlotte's suggestion negotia-
son
and Adelaide were entered into. The
match was speedily made, and the
marriage took place in July, 1818.
Although Adelaide and William were
the parents of several children, they
all died in infancy. In 1830 George
IV. died, and, having no children to
succeed him, the crown reverted to
his surviving brother, next in line,
William.
During William and Adelaide’s reign
the court of England assumed a pure
and elevating atmosphere, proving a
model for the young, something which
:annot _be said of it at any former pe-
iod.
In the year 1837 William IV. died,
ind as queen dowager Adelaide sur-
vived him twelve years. She was pres-
tne at the marriage of the young and
peautiful Queen Victoria and the
harming Prince Albert. Much of her
‘ater life was spent in works of chari-
ly and religion. She also endeared
aerself to. the people of England Ly

a
her greatest joy was in
acquaintance with the timid
baby deer. If she came suddenly upon
one hiding in the grass or behind a
stone, it frequently remained quite mo-
tionless, curled up into the smallest
possible space and pressed flat to the
ground, only its watchful eye proving
that it was wideawake and very anx-
ious. In the leafy forest this would be
its safest course, for there its protec-
tive coloring would render it almost
invisible, but in the open park, on the
green grass, its inherited instinet for
concealment failed it, and it was all
too visible to friend or foe. Georgina
would creep up ever so quietly and sit
dowa beside it. Sometimes she even
succeeded in stroking its soft coat.
Then the mother deer would circle
anxiously around, coming as near as
she dared, her great ears thrown for-
ward, every nerve tense, and ready to
spring away at the least hostile move;
but it always ended by the fawn sud-
denly scrambling to its long thin legs,
and, with little cries of alarm, dashing
over the greensward to join its mother
and find concealment in the deep sha-
dows of the cool forest.—J. M. Gleeson
in St. Nicholas.
Prices of Slaves.
“Slaves,” said the Socialist, smiling
grimly, “should be interested in the
price .of other slaves. Well, then:
“Before the war a good strong
man was worth $2500; a woman $1,-
500, a child, $500.
“In-Rome, in the Golden Age, a la-
borer only cost $100, and, sometimes,
after a greqt victory and an influx of
captives into the capital, it was pos-
sible to buy strong, capable slaves for
$5 apiece. ;
“Skilled slaves, men with trades,
brought higher prices. Cicero paid
$1000 for a scribe; Catiline had a
cook that cost him $2500.
“A gardener was worth $300,
blacksmith $750, an actor $5000,
physician $10,000.”—I.ouisville

Was the Best Man.
In Eldorado a bridegroom gave his
best man an envelope containing a
twenty dollar bill to be given to the
clergyman after the ceremony. The
best man is found to have given the
preacher an envelope containing a

Agreed For Once.
“A poor man's chances for becom-
ing rich,” declared the optimist, “are
as good as they ever were.”
" “Yes,” responded the pessimist.

The women are working these days.
The Chicago Tribune's Washington
correspondent, examining some new
. statistics collected hy the Census Bu-
reau, finds that among the women of
the United States between the ages of
16 and 20 one in three works for her
living. They almost monopolize the
werk of typewriting and stenography.
Of the 5.000,000 working women in the
United States, 44 per cent. are be-
tween the ages of 16 and 24. The Chi-
cago Tribune's correspondent argues
from this that the girls get to work
earlier than boys It seems to be a
matter of averages. The women quite
generally marry at the age of 25, and
ohly réturn to work when they are
widowed or divorced. Only a quarter
of the total number cf male wage-
earners are under 25 years of age, but
the men work continueusly throughout
their lives.

Concrete for Oil Tanks.
Experiments have been made to
determine the availability of concrete
for. oil storage tanks, "and it was
found that the material was entirely
suited for the purpose. Accordingly
a number of them have been built at
El Paso, Tex., by one of the railroad
companies of that section, which is
engaged in extensively handling oil
from the fields of that state. Up to
this time it was generally agreed that
the presence of oil had some serious
effect on the concrete, but if this is
true, it was not shown by the ex-

Fair and Unfair Burials.
The jurisdictional dispute hetweeg
the woodworkers and the carpenters
union has reached the coffin industry,
and there is considerable doubt in a
anion man's mind to what style
of a coffin to purchase in order to se-
cure the properly labeled union ar-
ticle. . Even the Union Burial Asso
ciation, organized especially to decida
this matter, at a loss to decide
the matter, and is selling c¢: ashen
bearing the label of the carpenterd
union, which the woodworkers declaw
to he non-union.
The carpenters claim the exclusive
right to place their labels on caskets
and the woodworkers declare if a man
is buried in a coffin bearing such a
label he goes to his last resting place
to remain through all eternity in an
“unfair” article. The Chicago Fed-
eration of Labor has been asked to
appoint a committee to pass upon the
merits of the dispute.—Chicago Tri-

The Sad-Faced Humorist.
No other humorist that ever lived
achieved at three score and ten such
honors «nd distinctions as are fall-
ing to Mark Twain. It is a historical
fact that most wits and humorists
were saddened by poverty and neg-
lect in their last davs. Samuel Foote,
alinost without an equal as a mirth
provoker, died of a broken heart, due
to lack of public appreciation in his
cold age. The first Disraeli mentions
that one morning meeting in a book-
maker's shop a squalid and wretched
looking man, the very picture of mis-
ery, he was astcnished to learn ‘that
he was a person who was amusing
the whole of Londow by his witty ef-
fusions in verse.—New York Press.
