AWFUL BLOW IS GIVEN

Give Richmond the Chilly Stare

It's an awful blow. After laboring
under the joyful hallucination for two
or three weeks that real circus was
coming to Richmond, the worst has
come. The tip given out that the
Forepaugh-Sells circus would be in
Richmond on June 10 has no more
foundation in fact than the report
that John Locke has surrendered.

Don't Like Autos.

Italian peasants are becoming de-
cidedly hostile to the drivers of auto
mobiles. Only few days ago a rich
Roman woman automobiles was shot
at by a farmer because she had al
most run over his dog. The farmers
aim was bad, however, and the woman
escaped unhurt. The occupants OF two
motor cars returning from Genoa to
Alessandra found the road DISTRACTED
by telegraph wires stretched tightly
across it. In the resulting smash four
fingers were cut from the hand of
one of the travellers, young Italian
lawyer, and in addition his face was
badly slashed and the use OF one eye

THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington,
which has been the Kings Palace"
of the American People since it was
first occupied by President Madison
in 1909. has recently undergone
thorough course of remodelling, reno
walton and repair. Every American
citizen is owner of an undivided
eighty or eighty-ive millionth part of
the White House, as well as of the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
in the Capitol City. An item in the
renovation of the remodelled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
to Washington knows why the White
House is so called-because it is lit
orally white house. The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim
pie lines of the White House, set in
the midst of green lawns and beauti.
full trees, produce a very satisfying
effect of dignifed simplicity, white
paint from practical point of view,
is about the most unsatisfactory kind
of paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First, be-
cause any white paint is easily dis
colored by smoke and dust, and Sec
ond because ordinary white paint
itself gradually turns gray or brown
ish yellow from exposure.
But white the White House is and
white it must remain or it would no
longer be the "White House. So the
renovators, making the best of dis
couraging situation, sought for the
best kind of white paint procurable.
| The average citizen If asked to guess
what kind of paint they finally decid-
ed on would probably answer-"white
lead and OIL" but he would guess
wrongly. The paint selected as the
best obtainable was ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought in any
we'll furnished village store, such as
is used by more than half of the
eighty or eighty-five million owners
of the White House on their own
homes. That one brand Of mixed
paint was used instead of another is
a mere accidental detail-there are
fifty or hundred brands on the
market that might have been selected
in other circumstances, and in fact
different brand was used in paint
ing the Capitol.
Every property owner, therefore
who paints his house with high
grade ready-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who uset
ready-mixed paint, because they could
find nothing else as good.

Grouchy chose the latter signtfi-

MAN WAS NOT NEEDED.
Feminine Distress That Called for
the Offices of a Member
of the Sex.

Just at the corner of Nassau and
Spruce streets, where the wind
blows" two pretty girls OF the
stenographer type were making their
way at nightfall toward the bridge
through the drizzling rain, holding
onto their hats and the single umbrel-

strength they were capable of. Sud-
denly, relates the New York Press,
one of the girls uttered an exclama-
ton of dismay and above the roar Of
the wind almost shouted to her com.

which was broken"
The two girls took refuge in the lee
of the Tract Society building and held
consultation. A stream of people
was passing along Nassau street, and
the nature of the mishap seemed to
call for delicate treatment Then,
while the girl who had shouted held
the umbrella turned toward the rush

on the wet sidewalk and began FUN

A dapper young man stepped out of

And the young man lost himself in
