III there are any more chicken

hennery three weeks ago, Thomas In
graham of Park Mills, n. Y, will glad

Good Eye, CuchullIln!

Who can set bounds to the soaring
Imagination of the Celt? An enthusi-
astic New Yorker recently watching a
game OF hurling-which resembles la
crosse-between stalwart teams, was
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 twinkle in his eye that
contradicted his serious speech. in
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
struck up hurley ball into the sky,
and then walked off to his pavilion and
took drink Of potheen. and strolled
back to the spot in good time to catch
the ball on his hurley.

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way in Which It May Be ldentif'ed
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
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt Is stolen.
What one wants Is test that VIII
tell the quality of the paint before 1t
and the labor OF putting 1t 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 youl painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
tallic lead, and under intense heat,
such as is produced by blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolve itself back
into metallic lead. ", however, 1t Is
not genuine White Led, or If 1t 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
1t, 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 1t
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything nec-
essary for you to make the test, to-
