BUYING PAINT BLINpLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as a lottery and so it is, the way
they do it, 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements OF
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use OF a
blowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly pat on and the
paint will stay put.

tons for testing both white lead ard

Revenee's Furious Appetite.

He who. from natural sweetness
and facility of temper. should despise
injuries received. would doubtless do
very great and a very laudable
thing; but he who. provoked and
nettled to the quick by an offense,
should fortify himself with the arms
of reason against the furious appetite
OF revenge, and, after a great conflict,
master his own passion. would doubt

A NEW MASONIC TEMPLE.
Masons Of Bryan Have Indefinite
Plans for Erection Of Another
Building.

The call for bids for the purchase
OF the old Masonic building and its
site, Issued by committee OF mem.
bers OF the order. is the first decisive
step taken In the contemplated plans
for the erection Of a new temple.
While their ideas in the matter are
yet vague and unsettled. they all cen
ter on the fact that a new and more
modern building to keep apace with
the substantial condition Of the local
lodge and with the growth OF II and
Bryan is most desirable. However,
beyond that point plans at present do
not extend, and It will probably be
some time before another move is
made The lodge owns a lot near the
city hall and this, in event of the
erection OF the building, will be its
site.
