WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the Importance
of the words Trade Marx" stamped
on the goods they buy. If they did
it would save them many a dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot of INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out of the business.
When manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit Of his prod
uct. He takes his business repu-
ton in his hands-out in the lime
light-"on the square" with the buy
er of his goods, with the dealer, and
with himself
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out inducements" offer.
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand - sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe-
rior goods come back" it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
| A good example Of the kind of pro.
lection afforded the public by trade
mark Is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's adver
Using of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of puri
ty in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address a blow-pipe and instruc
tons how to test the white lead fol
themselves. The testing outfit is be
ing sent out from the New York
Office of the company, Woodbridge
Building.

On the Doctor.

Mrs. Mary G. Baker Eddy, who. OF
course, has no faith in medicine, told
q Western Christian Scientist at one
of her latest audiences, an anecdote
about friend OF hers.
This friend, thin and nervous
woman, could not sleep. She visited
her physician and the man said.
do you eat anything just before
going to bed?"
"Oh, no, DOCTOR" the patient re-
oiled.
WELL" said the physician, "just
keep a pitcher of milk and some bis
cult beside you, and every night, the
last thing you do, make light meal"
But doctor" cried the lady, you
told me on no account to eat anything
before retiring"
Pooh. pooh." said the doctor, that
was three months ago. Science has
made enormous strides since then"

the body of woman wac dug up which
is thought to be that Of s,ennie Olsen

DASTARDLY DEED perpetual
ted AT BUTTE.
Two Engineers Killed and One Fire
man Fatally Injured-Two Young
Men Suspected of the Crime-$5o0o
Reward Has Been Offered for Guilty
Person or Persons.

Butte, Mont, May 3.-Youthful van
dals are suspected by the officers as
having dynamited the Overland Bur
lington Flyer Friday night as it was
pulling into Butte. Charles Busy and
Charles King were killed and Fireman
George Ehle fatally injured.
The names of two young men are
freely mentioned by the officers as
the probable train wreckers. The fact
that they ran away from their homes
and that they recently stole a box of
dynamite caps is being linked in the
chain of evidence to connect them
with the case The officers are now
busily searching every cabin and
dugout for the boys within a radius of
10 miles,
1t is the belief of the local authorities
that the dastardly deed was perpe-
trated, not with any desire for re.
venge or loot, but simply for the ex.
citement that the wreck would create
The deed is characterized by railroad
men as the most fiendish in the history
of western railroading. Apparently the
perpetrators had planned to explode
the dynamite under the coaches as
they were passing, but the jar of the
engines exploded the charge prema-
turely, or else the fuse was too short
The force of the explosion was terrific
being felt all over the lower portion
of the city in the immediate vicinity of
the wreck. A rancher living close to
the track was thrown from his bed.
Fish are scattered all over the wreck
from the smashing of a fish car i'm
mediately following the engines. This
car was reduced to simply a gigantic
pile of kindling wood, bearing no SEM
blance to car.
Engineer Bussy's body was rammed
into the ground so hard that it was
necessary to dig it out with shovels.
After hearing the reports of the
men who had examined the wreck and
making a thorough investigation him
self, Goodell stated that the wreck was
undoubtedly due to the work of dyna-
miters and made the offer of $4,000 re-
ward
A big, square hole was cut in the
end of the mail car, where King, the
man who was stealing a ride, was
virtually cut out. The end of the
mail car was jammed against the end
of the coal car, and here the axes were
used to cut out the unfortunate man.
He suffered terribly while the train
crew worked desperately to release
him. An empty flask beside the hole
this morning showed how he had been
stimulated with liquor.
Whisky was given him every few
minutes. One of his legs was crushed
fiat. but the man did not lose con-
seriousness and never uttered a cry
of pain. He died soon after reaching
the hospital.
The wreck is one of the most pecu-
liar and startling that could be imag-
ined. The south end of the mail car
stands % feet above the rails and is
leaning against the banks. 1t is con-
sidered fortunate that the wreck oc-
