Tim Murphy and Native Plays.

There is poetic justice in Tim Mur phys success with American plays. Like Sol Smith Russelll. John T. Ray mond and John E. Owen he has been patriotic in his art. He has always acted Americans in American plays by American authors.
 It will be remembered that this comedian leaped to fame as he Hon. Maverick Brander. he politician and cattle raiser. in "A Texas Steer. Then he presented that loveable old optimst of Washington Square in "Old Innocence. This was followed by notable characterization of the 'Governor of Mississippi ill Opie Reeds southern reconstruction comedy, The Carpctbagger. Again, and for the first time since his first play, he nov ed into Washington for his charming and endearing rersonation of Joel GaE in Paul Wilstach's "A Capital Comedy" Native to the core was his cowboy in F. F, Roses "A Man from Missouri.
 Consistent to his precedent both TWO Men and a Girl" and When ;l Man Marries" are American comedies and American to the core are the au- ] thors. Frederick panldin@ and \. C. i Bishop The former is one of lhe best known actors not starring. and he i formerly starred with distinction. He Was the Romeo in Mars1ret Mather's memorable run in Romeo and Juliet, and he Was CassiHs in Richasd Man- siield $ great production ef Julius Caesar Nlr Bishop is Hew 10 the theatre which makes all the more re. ma4kahle the great and instant suc# cess atandine his drst play.

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way in Which 1t May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test, it is
easy to tell if the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor Of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend q
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by blow-pipe,
pure White Lead willresolve itself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead, or if it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
it, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the "blow-
pipe" or any other test. To make it
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest blow-pipe and everything nec-
cssary for you to make the test, to-
gether with a valuable booklet on
paint. Address, National Lead Com

front of the Griffis house and one of
the men lifted the front door mat,
where, by good fortune, was the key
to the door.
This is certainly velvet" said the
one-eyed man, as they proceeded to
break up happy home. Everything
not nailed down was logged out, the
piano, the library Morris chair, the
sideboard, beds, tables, washtubs, car.
pets, refrigerator, chiffoniers, nutmeg
graters, the ice cream freezer, Mrs.
Rorer's cookbook, hair switches, Grit.
ifs safety razor, towels, soap, tooth.
brushes, and, in fact, everything that
would appeal to the passing fancy. 1t
was the most thorough house cleaning
that the Griffis home had ever re.
ceived. Even the picture of Uncle
Heinrich and of Willie when he was
three years old was yanked from the
family mantel piece.
wonder where Griffis is going to
move?" asked neighbor.
Dunno" answered another, "but ii
l ever move / will get those men.
They are not afraid to move fast"
Especially did the neighbors admire
the feat of carrying out two stoves
with fire still in them. Smoke was
belching out of the fiues, but the brave
lads never faltered. AS the van dis.
appeared thin gray spiral of smoke
fioated back. Mrs. Grifis appeared in
time to get Whit of the smoke. She
thought the place was on fire and ran
into the house in great alarm.
When she found herself in the
empty smoke begrimed rooms she
nearly lost her mind. From the gar
ret to the basement there was not one
single goods and chattel except the
canary bird. Why the thieves over
looked this bird no one knows.
