PAINT EVERY YEAR..
No One Wants to Do 1t, But ON
Paint Will Wear No Longer.

When you have a job of painting
dane you don't expect to have it done
over again very soon. But to make
a lasting job, several things must be
taken into consideration-the proper
time to paint-the condition OF the SUR
face-the kind of materials to use, etc.
All these matters are fully covered in
the specifications which can be had free
by writing National Lead Company,
1902 Trinity Building, New YORK
and asking for Houseowner's Paint
ing Outfit No. 40. The outfit also IN
cludes a book of color schemes 1ol
both interior and exterior painting
and a simple instrument for detecting
adulteration in the paint materials
The outfit will solve many painting
problems for every houseowner.

PROVED POINT BY HOLY WRIT
Granddaughter Of Gladstone Proved
She Had Not Read Scriptures
for Nothing.

Miss Dorothy Drew, who was pre-.
sented at court a few days ago, was
the favorite granddaughter of the late
w. E. Gladstone, and among the
stories told of her childhood days is
the following: One morning she re-
fused to get up, and, all other things
failing, Mr.. Gladstone was called to
her. Why, don't you get up, my
child?" he asked. why, grandpa,
didn't you tell me to do what the
Bible says?' replied Dorothy. Yes,
certainly well, it disapproves of
early rising-says it's a waste OF
time" rejoined the child. Mr.. Glad

exclamation of establishment, and

The W SIDES OF HISTORY.
Some Pertinent Observations Made by
Writer Evidently Not Fond OF
Subject.

History is a running account OF how
King Somebody-or-other either did or
did not get to a certain place, which
nobody ever heard Of, before King
Somebody-else got there. from which
we are usually supposed to conclude
that it would have made quite a differ
ence whether he did not not.
Like nearly everything else, history
has two sides. The history OF the
Garden of Eden depends upon Wheth-
er it is related by a man or a wom-
an. The history of the American rev.
olution reads quite different in Eng
lish books from the way 1t reads in
u own books. The history of the
civil wal depends upon which side OF
the Mason and Dixon line you happen
to be sitting when you write it.
History is a bore, not only because
you are u%nacquainted with the people
who figure in it, but because it repeats
itself.-Life.
