street parade in Newark OF the many

I Sary, and to continue until the end OF
| September. Most amazing values will

Letter to Rosevear Bros. s Co.
Morristosen. N. J.

Dear Sirs: You manage men and
machinery; no-One knows better than
you that one man is worth more than
another: that one machine is worth
more than another machine. Some
times you pay the man more, some
times you don't; sometimes the ma
chine costs more, sometimes it doeSn T..
The difference is, sometimes, two or
three to one, and costs not cent.
So with paint, and more too; the
paint that does best service makes a
less hrsE cost Of the job-you can paint
Devoe & Reynolds at less expenes than
the meanest stuff you can get.
1t is like good steady main or ina.
chine;. but goodness and Steadiness
have to be paid-for in men, in ma
chimes not always. and never in paint.
Paint is cheap in proportion to
strength
1t is pure paint that is steady and
good; it is paint adulterated that is
tricky There is enough paint in the
worst of these mixtures to look and
feel like paint, and enough adulter-
ants (whiting, china-clay, barytes,
ground stone, benZine, water) to make
two gallons'of one.
There are eight pure paints in the
United States; we know OF no more;
there are 200 adulterated. We analyze
all, and know what they are made-of.
Pure isn't all; you want strength.
The designations paint is Devoe &
Reynolds.
Yours truly

If woman can arrange "a pompa-
dour with part in it she is lucky in
deed. This classic style of hairdressing
has come back into first favor.
The hair is not smoothly brushed
back from the parting. We doubt if
even in classic days the lines were so
severe. 1t took the trying days Of the
civil war to invent such severity.
+ The hair is. fluffed out at the sides,
and if one feels that it is barbarism
to roughen the hair from beneath,
which does break its ends and takes
all the luster out of it, then one may
resort to either of these two methods
use small, thin puffs on a string under
the hair over the ears or a soft roll of
malines in the same Shade as the hair.
Then at the back twist the hair into
a soft figure 8.

SPRINGS SURPRISE
Defense to Show Thaw's Vain Fight Against Inherited
 Insanity.
WILL NOT SPARE. FAMILY
Treated for Insanity Abroad-Took Poison After Hearing His
 Wifc's Story.

New York, Jan. 13.-The Thaw trial moved with a rush to-day. After the state had presented its direct case and Assistant District Attorney Garvan had characterized the killing of Stan ford White as "a premeiitated, delib- crate and cowardly' murder,n Martin w. Littleton, for the defense, made the opening plea for the prisoner. His pro mise of, new evidence was sensational and held the attention of all in the court room. District Attorney Jerome, seemingly taken by surprise, selted himself in the witness chair the better ,o hear the outline of the new defense MT, Littleton promised to forge chain of circumstances, and to produce line of testimony which win prove Harry K. Thaw was undeniably insane at the time of the homicide Evidence of her editary insanity and of stringe. unus- ual acts by Thaw not even hinted at during the first trial, were told of by MT Littleton, who said that physicians and nurses who attended the defendant were hurrying here from Europe: that teachers of the defendant in childhood would come to give their impressions of the wide-eyed. distant boy" In con cusion, MT. Littleton challenged the district attorney to produce a single re- putable physician who would say that Thaw was not insane at the time h.. killed the noted architect.
 MT. Llttleton's speech fairly bristled with surprises. He startlr the court room by declaring that after Evelyn Nesbit had told him her story in Paris in 1903, Thaw "drenched himself with poison" and would have died but for the herolc work of three physicians who labored over him all of one night. MT. Jerome had surprise in sto e, too, and when MT. Littleton started upon the relations of Stanford White with the girl whom Thaw married, he was on his feet with an objection. Justice Bowling sustained him and the name of the architect was not linked again with that of the defendants wife Mir. Littleton touched but lightly upon the young woman's story, as she told 1t to Thaw, but careful as he was on this point he again drew an objection from the prosecuting officer. who said:
 MT. Littleton now is straying into a field of stuff which in my opinion will be excluded"
 Again Justice Bowling sustained the objection It was reported at the be- ginning of the trial that MT. Jerome would fight this year to exclude the testimony of young Mrs. Thaw.
 MT. Littleton spared neither Thaw nor his family in his recital of the defendants life history. Thaw's an- cestry. marked by decided taints of insanity on both the fathers and mothers side. according to his chief counsel was described by him with great care. and the defendant himself was pictured as irrational, cratic and insane as a boy who, osciilating be- tween "starship and madness. between brilliance and darkness" fought un- availingly against the fever of insan- ity which coursed in his blood at birth
