HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which II May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test, 1t Is
easy to tell if the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
helated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is a test that Will
tell the quality of the paint before II
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 a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
tallic lead, and. under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead, or if it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
tion, 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 ii
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest blow-pipe and everything nee
essary for you to make the test, to,

Good Eve, CuchuiITin!

Who can set bounds to the soaring
imagination of the Celt? An enthusi-

game of hurling-which resembles Ia

moved to ask President Conway Of the
Irish Athletic association how far a
good man could drive the ball.
"Well, I'll tell you," responded Mr..
Conway, with a twinkle in his eye that
contradicted his serious speech. I'm
the good old days when Cuchuillin was
champion of Ireland, the king and all
the nobility were assembled at the
great games of Tailtin. Cuchuillin

and then walked off to his pavilion and
took a drink of potheen, and strolled
back to the spot in good time to catch
the ball on his hurley. ."-Harper's

LUNATIc TRIES TO ROB BANK

ciai with Death.

Omaha, Neb.-A bold attempt was
made Tuesday to rob the Merchants
bank at Thirteenth and Farnam
streets by man who, although at
first thought to be desperate Grim
inal, is now believed by the police to
be a lunatic.
The man gave his name as L. L.
Fee, formerly of Rockford, H.. He
walked into the bank soon after ii
opened and menacing Vice-President
Luther Drake with a bottle which he
said contained nitro-glycerin, demand
ed $4,000 cash. Mr.. Drake, though
believing for the moment that his life
and those Of his fellow officials and
employees of the bank might be in i'm
minent danger, conferred calmly with
the would-be robber until other Off
cials called the police and the man
was taken into custody. Tests by the
police seem to show that the contents
of the bottle were harmless.

One of the most striking signs VI
this age is the entrance Of science int
every department of life. A symbolic
picture of the twentieth century might
represent the spirit of science stretch
ing her hand out over the temples IF
learning, religion and law. The state
of Chihuahua. i'll Mexico. has passed a
sanitary law regulating thcaters,
churches and other public buildings
All such buildings must have ample
fire protection. be properly ventilated
and provide sufficient seats In the
churches it has been the custom Of
worshipers to sit and kneel on the
floors This is forbidden by the new
law, which looks to the health OF the
people. Old customs are suddenly
sometimes violently, upset by new
knowledge. but there never was an
age more confident of its new knowl
edge and more competent to produce
the facts than the present age.

New York. Astounding revela-

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who is seeking
divorce from her husband on
grounds of insanity.
Strangest of all the disclosures
made since Evelyn began suit in New
York for the annulment of her mar
rlage to Thaw is the declaration that
within 4 month after her wedding she
| discovered that he was insane. At
that time she announced her intention
of applying for divorce on the
ground that he was crazy before the
ceremony and that all members of the
Thaw family knew it when they al.
lowed her to wed him.
Evelyn, Of course, knew nothing
about these cscapades at the time, but
Immediately after her marriage Thaw
now and then dropped a. remark that
opened her eyes. She concluded that
no man in his right mind could think
OF such affairs. much less actually
! participate in them; hence, her con-
clusion that Harry was insane.

the suit Of Evelyn Nesbit T'haw for
the aunulmcnt of her marriage with
