A LITTLE IN DOUBT
Gathers His Impressions from

William f. Curtis. the indefatig-
able correspondent OF the Chicago
Record Herald. whose writings upon
every subject known to man. from the
care of infants to The navigation of
the Rio Grande, have been presented
to readers for many years,
has appeared with a warning to the
l~and-hungrN people of the nation to
be careful about trying out dry or
scientific farming Mr.. Curtis appears
to have gathered his ideas upon the
subject from members of President
Rooscvclt's country life commission
who recently made a flying trip
through the nation, searching for the
things needed to make life on the
farm happier. The conclusions Of the
commission are not overly favorable
to the unirrigatod sections of the west.
1t may be noted in passing that the
commission did not stop in New Mex
leo and came no closer to TINS terri
tory thar Ell Paso, where q brief stop
was made. 1t should be- said, how
ever, in justice to Curtis that ne

The hrst thought In painting should.
OF course. be durabAity-and durabil-
ity means simply pure paint properly
applied. Pure paint is pure white lead
and linseed oil with or without tint
ing materially.
Some years ago tho paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead II he was not familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy with
perfect safety II he only makes sure
that the Dutch Boy trademark is on
the packages Of white lead that he
buys. This trademark was adopted
about three years ago by National
Lead Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
It is a guarantee as valuable to the
houseowner as the education OF q
paint expert could be.

THE OLDEST LIVING TRlpLErs
From Leslie's Weekly.

According to Congressman Charles
n. Cowles. Of North Carolina, the old
est living triplets in the world are the
Gibbs, born in wilkesboro, N. c., May
2, 1888, and now living In their 18th
yea One Of the triplets. William
Washington Gibbs, resides in Allan
ia, Ca, and the other two, Robert
Jackson Gibbs and Thomas Lafayette
Gibbs, live at Boomer, N. c., within q
few miles Of the place of their birth.
The three brothers are hale, hearty.
In spite of the fact that they endured
the h~ardships and privations OF four
years of civil war and years Of strug-
gle with poverty. All three of them
volunteered early In the war, and
fought In the same company of the
same regiment in many battles. Bethel
was the first real battle of tie war be-
tween the states. Gettysburg the crest
OF confederate aggression. and Apo
mattoS the last of that struggle. The
Gibbs triplets. in common with all
North Carolinians, are proud OF the
inscription on the states battle field
monuments, which reads: First at
Bethel, farthest at Gettysburg, and last
at A~ppomattox." The triplets are de-
scended from long lived families on
both sides. Their father lived to a
good old age and their mother died
only a few a ago at the age OF
almost 81. Aunt Caroline Grinton.
(colored), OF Whkesboro, who is al
most 100 years old, claims to have
nursed the Gibbs triplets when they
were babies. She says: 'They was
powerful strong young unss The
triplets are all married men. each has
grandchildren and great-grandchildren,
and they are most devoted to each
other.

GRANT IN THE SADDLE.
Fro:a st. Nichola.

Grant was at his best In the saddle.
The one real record that he made for
himself at the academy, the one time
that he excelled all his fellows, was at
tne nlial mounted exercises OF his grad
uating class, when, riding q famous
horse named York, he was called upon
to clear the leaping bar that the gruff
old ring riding master had placed
higher than a mans head. He dashed
out from his place In the ranks,
smooth faced. slender young fellow on
a powerful chestnut sorrel. and gal
loped down the opposite side of the
hall, turned, and came directly at the
bar, the great ! orse increasing his
pace as he neared it, and then, as IL
he and his rider were one, rising and
clearing II with a magnificent bound.
The leap is still recorded at the acad-
envy as Grants upon york;

IT WORKS.

The Laborer Eats Food That Would
Wreck an ONCE Man.
Men who are actively engaged at
hard work can sometimes eat food that
would wreck a man who is more close
ly confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story:
Il was for IL years clerk in a store
working actively and drank coffee all
the time without much trouble until
after entered the telegraph service.
There l got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves grew
unsteady n my stomach got weak
n l was soon a very sick man. I
quit meat and tobacco and In fact 7
stopped eating everything which I
thought might affect me except cof-
fee, but still my condition grew worse
n was all but a wreck.
II finally quit coNae and commenced
to use Postum a few years ago and .
am speaking the truth when I say, my
condition commenced to improve i'm.
mediately and to-day l am well and
can eat anything l want without any
bad effects, all due from shifting from
coffee to Postum.
Il told my wife to-day 1 believed
could digest a brick IL 1 had a cup Of
Postum to go with it.
I'VE make it according to direc.
lions, boiling it full 20 minutes and
use good rich cream and it is GER
tainly delicious"

Why They Grinned.
From LlppinCOtt'S.

Mrs. Grant was undoubtedly the disci-
plinarian in the family. and Mr.. Grant,
who was a very busy lawyer, was regard
cd by the two children as one of them
selves, subject to the laws of mother"
But one day Mrs. Grant became very Ill,
and at luncheon Mr.. Grant, who felt that
the children were already showing signs
of running wild" felt obliged to repri-
mand them.
GLADYS he said. ''stop that immedi-
ately or I shah rave 10 tax you from
the table and spank you."
Instead OF making the impression he
had fenday hoped to do. he saw the two
little imps glance IN a surprised manner
at each sther and then simultaneously q
grin broke over the faces of both culprits,
and Gladys said In a voice Of derisive
glee:
"oh. George. hear father trying to talk
like mothef!"

A Change for the Better.

Miss Lillian B. Hill, an advertising

Grand Rapids:
Il am glad you clothiers now adyer-
tise, now print pictures Of mems and
boys fashions. Thus you smarter up
the country, and you help to abolish
the cutting down Of the fathers clothes
for the son. You have educated our
little boys to dress. n few of them
could bear to wear now their fathers
garments made over by their mothers
awkward hands. 1t was not always SO.
I remember how, in the distant past,
my little brother rushed whimpering
into my room one night.

beard shaved off, and 10Y I guess I've

know how their political ideas ram. He
sounded them along various lines and
at last came to an old farmer who was
sitting on a sugar barrel waiting for

The Aim.
o Thou who lowest not alone
The swift success, the instant goal,
But has a lenfent eye to mark
The failures of tn inconstant soul.
Consider NOT my little worth
The mean achievement, .canped in act,
The high resolve, the low result,
The dream that burst not face the fact.
But count the reach Of my desire.
Let this be something in Thy sight
I nave not, in the slothful dark,
Forgot the Vision and the Height.
Neither my body nor my soul
To earti1s low ease will yield consent.
I praise Thee for nay will to strive,
I bless Thy Load Of discomfort.
