HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed OIL
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Companys pure
white lead Grade marked with "The
Dutch Boy Painter") there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead is capable of alb
solute test for purity. National Lead
Company, Woodbridge Building, New
York, will send testing outfit free to
any one interested.

She held out her left hand with a
sad little smile. 1T is good of you to
come so soon," she said, simply.
She had begged so earnestly to sit
up that Mrs. White had improvised an
invalid's chair out of huge old rocker
and cracker box. 1t did very well.
Then she had partially clothed the
girl in skinny wrapper of the sort
Langford abominated, throwing a
mans silk handkerchief where the
wrapper failed to meet, and around
the injured arm. Mrs. White had
stables where he was on the point of
mounting to join the relief party that
was to set off in search of Williston
at 10 O'clock. The starting point unan-
mously agreed upon was to be the
pitiful remnants of Williston's home.
Men shook their heads obviously
whenever the question of a possible
leading trail was broached. The soil
was hard and dry from an almost
rainless July and August. The fugi-
tives might strike across country any
where with meager chances of their
trail being traced by any.
Mrs. White and her husband, kindly
souls both, lifted the girl as gently as
might be from the bed to the rudely
constructed invalid's chair by the sit
ting-room window Then they left
her-the woman to putter around her
kitchen, the man to make good his

Big Jim Barry, of Chicago, quit in
his fight last night at Boston with Sam

him of any chance he ever had of

but Barry had enough before the Sec

Langford went after his opponent
from the ring of the gong, and Barry
seemed unable to stop the colored
mans rushes. Barry might as wei
retire from the ring, for he would not
prove a drawing card with a burlesqge

meet next week in Milwaukee, but this
match will not take place now.

This is the season when every bush
waeker, in the baseball world Is both
ering the life out of team managers for
a job. 1t wouldn't be so bad If these
"bushers'' would, singlehanded, go
after the owners and managers, but
they get their friends out on the base
ball paths of politics and the result can
better be imagined than told in cold
type. The "~bushleaguer" is the fellow
who has a small smattering of the
game with a large amour of preten-
sions injected into him by his home
crowd. He generally comes from the
suburban teams, where he has been
playing open-lot ball for a season or
two, and he manages to get his name
into print by some good play. Then
the corner grocery store gang gets MIN
n fills him full of desultory dreams
and ambitions with no bounds, and the
next thing you hear of him Is knock
ing at the back door of some big league
team asking for permission. Asking is
not the proper word. He demands a job.
To rid himself of a lot of annoyance
the team owner tells him to go put a
suit on and allows him to mingle with
the regulars. This in many cases Is
the undoing of tie ~''busher." Hadn't
he received this chance and kept in the
background looking on and learning he
would very often make a good player.
Advancement of a Bushieaguer.
Don't understand me as wanting to
keep the youngster out of the national
game. Not at all. 1t is from the
"bush'' leagues that the major leagues
today got most of their players. Only
for a "bush' aggregation out near Car
nesie, Pa, there might have been no
Wagner. The back lots have sent nine
tenths of the present stars in baseball
to where they are today. o stop and
count them and see how many college
players are burning up the baseball
world these days n you will find a
mighty few of them. Poor old Virgil
Garvan, who started with the Atlantic
League in '96, and who was the pride
of the Richmond team when Newark
was not so high in the baseball world
as she is today, came from the back
lots and was a "busher" when he start
ed out. He graduated into the big
league end was on the Chicago Ma
tionars payroll for many a day and
was counted the best twirler of his day.

Now he is sickly and Is not expected
