Dear Sir: Railroad Companies use
paint they knote is good-not the kind
the seller says is good they take moth
ing for granted; they have their chem.
ISIS, whose business it is to analyze the
different paints and find out for Ger.
tainty which is the best for the price.
As most of the largest railroads in
America use our Paint comment is un-
necessary. For instance, the. whole

In our last issue we mentioned a pro-
posal TO hold an athletic meeting in our
town, and we are now able to call
attention to the posters which are out
for July 30th. a glance at the program
assures us of capital afternoons sport.
The ball game, 100 yards dash and tug
of war for the championship of Somerset
county, are sure to be exciting contests,
while the hurdle, obstacle, bicycle and
other races will provide first class sport.
The obstacle race will be over series of
Instructions similar to those used at
athletic meetings in England, and the
hurdle race will bring out some Ozark
horses" The affair is under efficient
management and we trust the public
will show their appreciation of the effort
to introduce these sports by giving the
first meeting good send off. Good,
clean, manly sport is beneficial to both
contestants and on-lookers, and we hope
this first attempt will meet with success
and encourage the promoters to further
endeavors.

in Japan exhibits an enviable standard
of courtesy on the part of the natives
of that country which is respectfully
submitted to that outraged pedestrian,
the wheelman' S victim. An American
riding bicycle in Tokyo accidentally
knocked down venerable native. The
aged victim gathered himself together,
deferentially approached the rider and
humbly begged pardon for being "in
his honorable way"

''The field being one which no other agency now fully covers, there is thrown upon the society an important task which cannot be postponed. The collection of American oral traditions should be regarded as a national duty. To gather materials for history which are indispensable to anthropologisa record, and which, unless recorded, will in few years have irretrievably per ished, appears even more important than the collation. of historical records already safely lodged in libraries"
 The soeiety's head and forefront is William Wells Newell, Of Cambridge. Mass, an author whose immediate work of recent years has been medieval Ht- erature, he having recently issued volume on "Arthurian Romance. King Arthur and the Table Round.n The projector of it, the editor of its journal, and long it's secretary, Mr. Newell has kept on pushing the society through all these years reaching out constantly for new members and ever striving to make folk lore better cared for and un- derstood among people of education ard refinement.
 Scientists to whom this peculiar field has appealed have cooperated with him, and the result is shown iii the quaint papers in the journal. A recent number of this contained the follow ing features, the mentioning of which will be of much interests: Ninth An nual Meeting of the American Folk Lore Society, The Collection of Nary land Folk Lore, Work and Methods of the Hampton Folk Lore Society, Negro Hymn from Georgia, Traditions of the Iillamook Indians, The Legend of the Holy Grail, Borrowing Trouble, Negro Song from North Carolina, Record of American Folk Lore, The Sixth Vol ume of the Memoirs of the American Folk Lore Society, Folk Lore Scrap book, Notes and Queries. Local Meet ings and other notices, Bibliographical Notes.
 As ar instance of the material the society is collecting, here is Balti. more, Md, folk lore story tin part):

witch. Ey'y night, soon as de women went to bed and turn over on her back, dat witch would come and jump on her and ride her hard, so she couldn't move. So one night she fix for dat witch. She put pins in de seat ol q chair, and when de witch come, she sat right down on de pins. Witches have to sot down befo' dey can get out de skin; dey can't ride you long as dey is in dey skin. We'll, de witch sot down on the pins, and she stuck fas'. She couldn't git up out CT de chair. and she beg de woman to let her go, and she promise, eff she did, she wouldn' come back no mo. Den de woman let her go."
 Six volumes mark the progress Of the society outside of the Journal. These are 'Folk-Tales of Angola" (Africa) by Heli Chatelain; Louisiana Folk-Tales," hy Alice Fortier; Bahama Songs and Stories" by Charles L. Edwards; Cur rent Superstitions, Collected from the Oral Tradition of English-Speaking Folk" by Fanny D. Bergen, with an in- troduction by William Wells Newell; "Nanako Legends" by Washington Matthews; '"Traditions of the Thomp- son River Indians of British Columbia. ? ty James Teit, with introduction by Franz Boas.
 And here, there and everywhere does the research go. The society has sey- eyal local branches, notably one in Bos- ion, one in Baltimore, one in Cincin- rati. That in Baltimore is diligently sending negro folklore. There is to be a special range of folklore studies in the direction of music. Henry r, kreh- biel, of New York, having collected much in this way.
 Dr. Henry Wood. of Johns Hopkins is the society's president [ Charles L. Edwards is the first rice president. Miss Alice C. Fletcher the second vice president, William Wells Newell permanent secretary and Joha II. Hinton~of New York. treAsursS

coat of black cloth, lined with white satin.
 Black cloth cut out in scroll designs over white silk or satin is perhaps at present the best liked of all dress ma terials. Such a costume will have Louis XVI. coat with reyers of white silk embroidered in black and bodice front of white lace over silk. It will be worn with a rather small black vel. vet hat adorned with ostrich plumes. The velvet dresses are the richest of the season One of a deep, soft green shows an applique embroidery in black and white of satin and chenille. and white satin collar, revers and cuffs GOV cred with white lace. More than half the velvet dresses are in black. or else in the popular plum-blue. Velvet coats with cloth skirts are the happiness of those who cannot afford the full velvet costume
 Red and white is something like as popular as black and white. A red cleth costume, for example, has a square collar of white cloth cut out in
 
 yoke and T band of white down the front. This is lined and stilfened and caught to the skirt in some mysterious manner.
 In red. white and black is a pretty cloth gown with tunie oyerskirt, pointed and trimmed with rows of stitching. The undersl1irt is edged with seant black ruf1les, headed by white satin cord and that again by line of jet. The bodice has two collars, one of white satin lace-coyered and the other of sable fur.
 Gray, pale blue and white go well to- gether, appearing, for instance, in a gray cloth dress with a turnover collar and reFers in pale blue mirror velvet, embroidered with white chenille. The skirt also is embroidered in white on gray and there is a blue velvet belt and q touch of blue on the sleeves.

A Couple of Scoops.
M. QUAD.
Copyright, 1898.


 When it became known at Golden Hill that the sheriff of Diego county had succeeded in capturing Yuma Bill, road agent, highway robber and gen eral bad man, and that he was in jail at Gainesville, word was quietly passed round and a crowd set out 10 storm the jail and lynch the prisoner. There were two weekly newspapers at Golden Hill, but only one heard of the move. The crowd proceeded to Gainesville and was largely added to. and when 20 men moved on the jail the sheriff gave up the keys and Yuma Bill was taken out and hung The Golden Hill Recorder alone got the news, and it spread it all over page and bragged of it's Scoop" in a way to make the Banner man wish he had never been born. It was declared the tallest, broadest, biggest newspaper scoop ever heard of in the west, and for a week the Recorder man wore his hat on his ear. Then one day he got call from a stranger, who neither flung on style nor talked in loud voice. On the contrary, he was modest, retiring sort of man, and the editor wouldn't have given him much attention had he not queried:
 Did you write up the hanging of Yuma Bill yourself2"
 Certainly, was the reply. "Yes sir; I just spread myself on that article, and I call it the effort of my life"
 "The Banner man wasn't in t?" con- tinued the stranger.
 Mot at all. He never even heard that the crowd was going over to Gainesville"
 You saw the prisoner, ot course?"
 Saw and talked with him, of course. Don't I give the conversation between us?"
 And you are sure it was Yuma Bill?"
 Do you take me for blank fool?"
 "Weu." said the stranger, as he looked around in careless way, they got hold of the wrong man, and got out of jail while the crowd was hanging him. 1 am Yuma Bill"
 "You-you can't bel" gasped the ed itor.
 But I am. and I called to get scoop on you. You bore on mighty hard in writing me up, and l always try to get even. Keep your seat. If you make a move I'll bore you"
 Then the modest, soft-spoken man upset the type eases on the floor wrenched the handle off the hand press. and destroyed all the white paper he could find. 1t would take four weeks to undo his work of ten minutes.
 "You had your scoop on the Ban- ner. and I've got mine on you said the stranger, as he was ready to go. Just sit where you are for the next 15 min utes. If you should raise an alarm be- fore get out of town it would be bad for vou ''

To search out and put on record the beliefs, superstitions and myths. of the fast dying or already dead old races of America, to gather up and preserve the legends, traditions and some accur- ate knowledge of their curious customs and ideas is the work of an organiza- ton that is little heard of. but yet is strong among scientists, and has it's members in every corner of this eoun- try-the American Folk Lore society.
 Attention is now being directed to these workers in a strange and inter esting field, for the tenth annual meet

professors of universities, eurators and assistant curators of museums-and joined with these are some hundreds of obsewant, thoughtful people, who are no scientific experts, but have q love for these researches, and can sometimes add word or a thought, contribute an idea or finishing touch to the papers read and the discussions Waged. The lists are open to all, and if anything, there are more women than men members, many of those from the south being useful in the,negro work.
