Dear Sir: You know your painter;
we don't; we only know painters IN
general.
There are two sorts, as there are two
sorts Of everybody else. One paints as
well as he can; the other as poor as he
can and get business.
The one who paints as well as he
can is all the time learning; the other
one knows it all now.
Josh Billings says, cts better not
to know to much than to know 50
many things that amt So" There
are lots O things in paint that "a'n't
So Lead and oil is one of 'em.
DevOe Ready Paint lasts twice as
long, is better in every respect; is
ready to dip the brush in; you can de-
pend on the colOrS; no mystery; no
uncertainty; costs no more; costs less.
We hope you employ Mr.. Open-Mind
Painter and not Mr.. KnOw-it-all-now

RUSSIAN OFFICIALS HURT.

st. Petersburg, May i9.-The Rus

being deeply hurt at the criticisms Of

when America needed friends.
America might at least inquire
whether the Anglo-Japanese news
were not colored in Anglo-Japanese
interests"

trouble on the bourse. When the ex-

Minister Witte visited Minister Lams-

lean newspaper attacks" in addition
10 the Balkan troubles, the bourse
was dangerously weak. The finance
minister also declared that n contin

The brief cablegram from 81 Re

neither the city council Of 1928. nor
the new grantee of 1923 could or
would turn over the property: in
which case it would follow that a,
vested right would by that time have
accrued to the railroad company to
have either the city Of 1923 or the
new grantee of 1923 take over the
property at the term fixed and pro-
vided in the ordinance of 1909. then
inevitably. the existing corporation
would have the right to continue in
