Letter to Mr.. s. M. PaEr,
Oskaloosa, Iowa

Oskaloosa, Iowa.
Dear Sir: Consider one point, il
you please, in painting your work-a
point, on which the practice of paint
ers is apt to be wrong-the printing.
The usual practice is to use cheap
ochre for printing. Don't do 1t. Use
the same paint you are going to use
for the other two coats.
The reason for cheap ochre Is: 1t
10 cheap-a poor reason. The saving
is very small-a few cents on the side
Of a house-and the damage consid-
cradle. Cheap ochre' is very poor
stuff; not fit for the bond between
paint and wood. And printing is both
foundation and bond.
Devoe syour paint; the same for
all coats; lead and zinc; best paint
In the world. We have no monopoly
of it. Others can make it.; they
choose to make inferior paint. Lead
and oil lasts half as long as Devoe.
This is an absurd condition in the
paint business; but it exists. Devoe
is your paint,
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE & 90.

from his manner it is plain that he
Is dementej. He will probably be
thoroughly examined later In the day.
Weinbrenner is the son Of German
truck driver and is about 2S years
old. Secret service men have no
doubt he intended to kill the presi-
dent had he been able to reach him.
Weinbrenner was arraigned in po-
lice court his morning. He was plain
ly cratic AMI insisted he had called
at Sycamore Hill at the request of
the president. When asked how and
when called there he replied:
"The president talks and I hear
him. He is in his house and I'm in
mine, but ! can always hear him.
He talks about his daughter Alice.
wanted to marry her. I've seen
her a number Of times. She came
to my house in an automobile about
a month ago, accompanied by her
brother Theodore"
AS he was plainly demented the
court cut short the examination and
remanded him back to his cell. He
will be examined as to his sanity this
afternoon and will likely be commit
ted to some institution. One Of his
brothers was in the court room this
morning and stated that while he
had, always been more or less Eighty
none Of the family suspected he was
insane. Weinbrenner is short, slight
ly built, dark complexioned German,
with three days growth Of beard
upon his cheeks and a closely crop
ped mustache. He kept his hands
folded across his vest and his eyes
upon the ground while he answered
the questions fred at him in low
monotone. Asked if he had any
statement to make after his exarnin-
alton he replied no.

WOULD KILL PRESIDENT
Man With Gun Makes Three Attempts
to Reach Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, Sept. "A man sup
posed to be demented made an at
tempt last night to reach President
Roosevelt. He was arrested by the
secret service men who are guarding
the president. On his person was
found a 34-calibre revolver. It is
believed he intended to assassinate
the president.
The mans name is Henry Vein
brenner. He lives at Syosset, Long
Island, small place seven miles
from the presidents summer home.
The secret service man who was de.
tailed to guard the front of the house
was standing in the roadway about
ten last night when an unknown man
drove up in carriage. He was held
up hundred feet from tue house
and announced that he had an en-
gagement to meet the president. He
gave his name and said the president
had telegraphed for him. The guard
examined the list and found no such
name. He then ordered Weinbrenner
to drive on. The latter objected but
left after being threatened with ar
rest. He returned half an hour later
and again insisted upon seeing the
president. He was again refused
and departed apparently chagrined.
An hour later he put in his appear
ance again, and this time the guard
as a matter Of precaution placed him
under arrest. The prisoner was Inn
mediately searched and G revolver
with every chamber loaded found.
Later a search Of the grounds was
made and foot prints were found at
the rear of the house. A heavy
guard was placed about the house
and Weinbrenner was taken to Oyster
Bay, where he was incarcerated. He
was questioned this morning and

Far away 20 Heaven hath flown
But she raised her blue eyes freely
At the coming of the dawn,
While she see ned to whisper swoetly
Think Of me when am gone
For the rapture brightly glowing,
In her soft and mild blue eyes,
Told US she was hastily going
To land teyond the skies.

Your attention is asked to Stainoff, preparation that is being favorably received by the best housekeepers of Bir- mingham. Stainoff cleans and polishes without scratch ing or other injury silver, brass, woodwork, bath tubs, etc. But Stainoff is as per- feet a hand cleanser as house. hold cleaner. Machinists' grease and grime disappear as magically before Stainoff as ink acquired in using a type writer-or signing cheques. It removes the toughest, stickiest Birmingham grime, and does this before you can say-"Stainoff."
