to take The people were at last
aroused. The guns of the revolution

even to the gates of the palace.
Who will take up the reins no one
knows or cares. 1t is sufficient that

10000 DEED KILLED IN MAINE
Estimate Based on Shipments to and
Through Bangor.

Bangor, Me, Dec 17.-Maine's big
game season is ended and from the
records kept of game passing through
this city, it appears that the kill of
both moose and deer has been nearly
equal to that Of 1908. Up to We'd
nesday there had been transported to
and through Bangor. 1854 deer, 1874
moose and 36 bears. compared with
31763 deer. 126 moose and II bears
at the corresponding time last year
The moose and bear records are
closed, but the deer receipts will be
increased considerably by late arri-
walls and will probably closely ap-
proach the record of 1905 Many deer
killed in the Moosehead Lake region
now go west via the Somerset road
instead of through Bangor as former
ly.
On the basis of Bangor receipts it
Is estimated that about 5000 or pos
sibly 10000 deer were killed in
Maine this season. Only about one
half of the deer killed are transport
ed by rail and of these about two
thirds pass through Bangor. Some
hunters think that game is becoming
scarce while others believe that the
animals are as numerous as ever,
but that they have moved further
back into the deep woods

A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
OF Painting Requirements Will Save
Much Expense.

When one sees the surface or
house or other building scaling, or
peeling, or spotted or blistered, or
showing other symptoms of paint
disease" it is evident that a poor
painter has been on the job, or that
poor paint was used--or possibly that
a good painter has been dominated by
a property-owner who knew nothing
about paint.
1t Is an easy matter to be informed
on paint and painting. A complete
painting guide, including a book of
color schemes, either for exterior or
specifications for all kinds
OF painting,-and an instrument for
detecting adulteration in paint ma
terial, with directions for using 1t,
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, and asking for House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
Then, every houseowner should
make 1t a point to get only we'll
known reliable brands in buying his
materials. Pure white lead is espe-
cially important, or the paint will
not prove satisfactory. The famous
Dutch Boy Painter" trademark of
National Lead Company. the largest
makers of pure white lead, is an alb
solute guarantee of the purity and
quality of the white lead sold under
1t. That trademark is a safeguard
against paint trouble.
