These conclusions from the Dako-

tempt the buyer by their price and
make the goods To fit the price-and
it is usually IA misfit in their favor.
The man who buys this class of
goods merits no sympathy, The

J going to get 'stuag." If he wants
a cheap paint let him buy it of the
local dealer. 1t will be a cheap
paint but will be better than the mail
order man will give him.
Mixed paints are handy and some
of them are pretty good. OF course
none of them are as good as they
claim TO be and none of them are
cheap. Nearly all manufacturers vii
claim that their brand is better than
lead and oil, That it will cover MOI
J surface and last longer than lead
and oil, and the dealer, who isn't
usually much of "A paint expert, is
made 10 believe these statements
and repeats them to his customers.
These claims are both false. There
is no better paint than linseed oil
and white lead. There is no paint
made that will last longer than lead
and oil, the conditions being the
same. There is no paint made that
will cover more surface than lead and
oil. nor as much by fifteen per cent.

There are bad jobs lone with
lead and oil but it is not because of
the lead and oil but because they
weren't. 1t is a tricky painter

lead and oil job. Comparison must
be ON an even basis and whenever
that kind OF comparison is made mix

What about economy? The cost?
II is easy TO figure 1t out. Here is
a formula for an average outside

A SKILLFUl SHOT.
The Way to Bring Down an Overhead
Incoming Bird

IISOHl'Hb
One of the cardinal rules of the old
time shooting school cautioned the
gunner against ever trying TO stop an
overhead incoming bird. but To wait
until it had passed by and to the rear
and then take chances on what is un-
doubtedly the harder shot Of the two.
1t is surprisingly how difficult it is
for some spOrtsmen to successfully
score on their incoming birds. Many
who can seemingly cope with game in
any other mode of flight will habitual-
ly balk az this shot and acknowledge
their inability to make it.
Yet once its principle is understood
and the lesson learned the dropping
of an overhead incomer is rs easy as
anything can we'll he. The miss is al
ways made by the sportsman shoot
ing under and behind the bird, and
there is but one way in which the err
ror is to be avoided
To make the shot the gunner should
wait until the bird is about to pass
over him, then, bringing up his gun,
follow in from behind, cover the bird
and swing in ahead of it and. main
tanning the same rate of speed, press
the trigger the instant the bird is hid
den behind the barrels. DO not stop
the swing of the gun and be sure the
bird shall have disappeared from
sight. If the shooter will observe this
rule he will be surprised how easily
and invariably he will kill his bird

WISHBONES.
On Their Shape Depends the Force Of
Birds Wing Strokes.

On Their Shape Depends the Force Of
Birds Wing Strokes.
Scientists call the "wishbone" the
furcula, and it is the union of what
are in man two collar bones. These
receive the brunt OF the strokes OF the
wins that turn the creature in its
fight.
Few Of us appreciate the strength
OF the stroke of the birds wing a
swan has been known to break n
mans leg by blow of its wing, and
in like manner the wing beatings Of
the larger birds are dangerous If they
strike the human head or face. IT,,
therefore, large bird is i'm the habit
OF making sudden turns to RICH. or
left in fits fight il must be fitted with
a "wishbone'' capable OF withstanding
the great strain of the wing stroke on
the one side when unaccompanied by
action on the other.
For this reason we find I'm the eagle
and birds Of its class that turn quickly
a furcula that is perfect Roman
arch, widely at variance with the
Gothic arch, which is the shape of the
"wishbone'' OF our common fowls. The

strong and lacks those points of weak
ness that make our sport of breaking
the "wishbone" possible. - Harper's

the woman ran distance OF two miles,
with no shoes on her feet, and but the
scantiest attire the negro had left on her
and gave the alarm.
Officers from Tampa fastened to the
scene in automobiles and securing blood

gro Half hundred men on horseback
also took up the chase, but the sheriff
posse was first to sight the fugitive,
which probably saved him summary pun
ishment. The negro had gun which he
had taken from the Ellerbee home. When
commanded to halt he started to shoot,
but the officers fired 1rst, one OF the Dul-
lets piercing his thigh
The negro was placed in an automobile

SPOT Cotton Dealer
Speaks In Defense
OF The Exchanges

Washington, February 10-Defending
the cotton exchange as gatherers of true
information that is disseminated by thou
sands of brokers to everybody interested,
Solomon Napoleon Gone OF Greensboro,
N. C., attacked the proposed anti-option
bill during the hearing before the House
committee on agriculture today
Mr.. Cone described himself as a spot
cotton dealer, stockholder in various
mills, member ''of all the cotton ex-
changes of the world and the handler of
over 100000 worth of spot cotton an
nually.
The sessions today were devoted to
closing arguments by the advocates of
the proposed legislation to prohibit deal
ing In futures in the exchanges and
boards, and to the argument of Mr.. Cone.
Former President Hubbard of the New
York cotton exchange and George w.
Neville of that body were among the
opponents of the measure, while Senator
Smith of South Carolina and Representa-
tives Burleson of Texas, Hardwick OF
Georgia and Sims of Tennessee were
among the outsiders who occasionally
prompted the giving of information.
The hearing will be continued tomor-
row and February Is the committee will
hear delegation from the American
Association of Grain exchanges.
Mr.. Cone said his practice as large
dealer is to sell more heavily when the
market is going up and to buy more
heavily when tho market is going down;
that that unusual practice was based on
pure calculation, not on luck or chance.
Il do not defend gambling" he ex-
