Idle Curiosity.

Many weil-meaning persons are
apt to confuse what they regard as
interest in others with idle curiosity,
and thereby cause serious annoyance
if not actual suffering, besides plac-
ing themselves ia an unenviable
light Very often the display of
curiosity is unconscious and arises
FROM a desire to give evidence to
some friend of willingness on our
part to share his confidence, but the
friend is very sure not to avail him
self of this opportunity, else he
would have sought it himself. There
are some sorrows in nearly every
ones life which reach down too
deeply into the heart to bear even
the kindliest inquisition; sorrows
which we are not willing to speak of
voluntarily even to those nearest and
dearest to us, and yet it often hap
pens that it is upon such a subject
as this that some kind friend is apt
to question us. OF course a curiosi-
" of this sort is more than idle; it
is an evidence of lack of considera-
ton. to say the least, and is sup
posed not to obtain in genteel society,
and yet we venture to say that there
is hardly person in this wide world
Of ours who has not at some period
when misfortune has entered his
life suffered from the idle curiosity
Of some supposed friend. Charles

PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought painting should,
of course, be .durability-and dura-
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and Iinseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years ago the paint-buyer was
likely to Get adulterated or counter
felt white lead if he was nc. familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety if he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
1t is a guarantee as valuable to the
HORSEPOWER as the education Of a
paint expert could be.

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
or the White Steam Cars could be run
On kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland. Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint OF the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, If such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the. supervi-
sion Of observers, named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, 1t would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty In
ficted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

We Are Getting On.

Sometimes we are prone to forget
what progress the world is making
and look only upon imperfections
that still call upon us for removal.
A good antidote for this pessimistic
forgetfulness is found in President
Taft's letter forbidding census super
visors to indulge in political activi-
ty; and especially in the tone which
the letter manifests toward the
spoils system in general
OF the justice and wisdom of
this order no question will arise in
any enlightened mind, or in any
minds at all, in fact, except those
who are still blindly and foolishly
welded to the old Jacksonian doc
trine that TO the victors belong the
spoils. 1t is at last possible for one
to assert without danger of over
whelming scorn that census super
visors as well as other federal ap-
pOintees are entitled to serve the
public from which their support is
derived and not the party politicians
who have usUrped the power they
have so VIGOROUSLY abused.-Indian-
apolis Star.

other respects made a most creditable
showing, and there was the usual rIv-

The complete success of the new
fuel while on this 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
In the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead Of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in It's
behalf were fully proven. First of
all. as regards cheapness. the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
1ene. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions. and
II was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour. the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining it's fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part Of the route was most con-
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the
