ENLIvENED THE PLAY.
Sentiment and Impromptu Humor at a
Moving Picture Show.

"Where we went last night said
a frequenter of moving picture shows,
"there was a scene in one of tie films
showing a man and girl, young low
ers, kissing. She was Il pretty girl
and he was a fine manly, young fell
low, and of course everybody was
deeply interested in the picture. But
at the precise instant that the lovers
lips met some man in the audience ex-
ploded with a gigantic sneeze, where
at the whole house blew up with spon-
taneous hilarious laughter.
'In this picture scene there was a
third figure, that of man who had
seen the lovers meeting and who when
he saw them kiss turned away from
them to smile. He was, to be sure,
smiling over the lovers; but as he look
ed out on the house at this moment
with that smile on his face he seemed
like q real man smiling in appreciative
understanding of what had just hap
pened in the audience. At the sight of
his smiling face the audience again
blew up But. of course, the pictures
kept on moving all the time, and in
half a minute the audience had once

One Street Game In Which Lincoln

An elderly gentleman now residing in
Washington tells this story about
Abraham Lincoln:
II was about ten years of age and
given violently to the game of mar
bles. One cold March day my compan-
ions and | were playing on the side
walk before my fathers shop when
slipped on piece of ice and fell, cut
ting my chin. The other boys seized as
many of m. marbles as they could and
made off. Wild with anger, | started
after them, calling them names and
threatening to annihilate them, and SO
on. Suddenly a hand on my collar
stopped me, and deep voice said:
"'We'ye got enough i'll feeling going
on in this country these days without
you boys catching itp
"a big man swung me around and
wiped my wounded chin and then went
on:
"T saw what they did, son. Have
you any agates left? Good! I'll put up
three chiny alleys, and we'I see who'll
win
HE drew from his pocket three mar

REEDS WITTY THRUST.
II Silenced For the Time the "Great
Obiector,r Holman

ObIectory' Holman.
There are many stories of the caustic
wit of Thomas B. Reed, the famous
speaker of the house of representatives
One of his most amusing thrusts was
delivered at William S. Holman. a
member of congress from Indiana. 1t
was perhaps the keenest witticism ever
uttered in debate on the floor of the
house.
Holman was a constant objector to
the expenditure of money by congress
and had honestly earned the title of
Watchdog Of the Treasury One day.
when the committee was perfunctorily
putting through number of bills for
the erection of government buildings in
various cities, Holman was constantly
on his feet, objecting to their consider
alton. But when Indiana was reached
and the committee began to propose ap-
propriations for buildings In the towns
of that state Holman's objections came
with much less spirit and finally
ceased altogether. When at length a
bill was offered that carried a generous
appropriation for a building In Hol
mans own town, he rose and expressed
hearty approval. Hardly had he taken
his seat when Mr.. Reed was on his
feet. Mr. Speakerr" he shouted; and
then, in gently sentimental tones, he re
cited Byron's familiar lines:
'Tis sweet to hear the watchdog's honest
bark
Bay deep mouthed welcome as we draw
near homei
And the great objector" forgot tt
object any more that dayEYouth's
Companion.

"An investigation showed that the
car was old, but that previous to the

o. c. Harm, of the National Lead
Company says: There may be more
difficult articles to advertise to the
public than white lead but they must
be few.
II is not bought used nor enjoyed,
as such, by the average man who I'll
mately pays for it. He buys and en-
joys it as finished job of painting
not as white lead.
In other wo,ds. in advertising white
lead to the public one faces the prob
lem Of interesting the buyer of a GER
tain thing in one ingredient only OF
the article he buys 1t is analogous
to trying to interest him in the axles
on his prospective automobile, but Il
is worse than that because the axles
remain axles. They can be seen
They do not lose their identity. The
white lead on the contrary. to be-
come useful. must lose its identity as
white lead and become a paint film.
II may be pink. blue, green, yellow
and have little to suggest the original
thick white paste which the manufac-
nrer turned out. The paint film has
no trade mark to identify 1t with the
thing advertised.
Yet National Lead Company has
succeeded In making the advertising
of this ingredient of paint profitable.
We have used the newspapers and
magazines to tell the property owue IS
that the durability of the paint they
put on their houses depends on their
using Dutch Boy white lead as the
solid ingredient in that paint. Re
Gently we have also added Dutch
Boy linseed oil TO the advertising
thus we have both of the big import.
ant Ingredients of paint in our story.
bus we still advertise ingredients only
things which lose their identity as
such.
We have proved that people can
be induced by advertising to tell the,
painte s to use certain white lead
when mixing up their paint. The
newspaper and magazine advertising
has also had this important effect.
1t has helped dealers and painters
who believe in and recommend Dutch
boy white lead, because property
owners who have been impressed by
our advertising with the advantages
OF this material, think more highly
CT the dealers and painters who au
wise their use.
This is an extremely important fac.
tor. To see general advertising of
Dutch Boy white lead and Dutch Boy
linsed oil strengthens the resolve of
painters and dealers to push them.

THE VOTE ON PRIMARY

The state is beginning to warm up
on the primary question which is to
be voted on at the March election.
There seems to be every reason to
believe that majority of the voters
of Vermont desire a direct primary,
but there is danger that many voters
may spoil their ballot if they do not
pay close attention to the matter anG
study the sample ballot before they
go into the booth.
There are two propositions on the
ballot. The first of these is on the
question of preferential primary.
Now a preferential primary is moth
ing more than an instructed delegate
convention and not any great change
from our present unsatisfactory sys-
tenn.
To vote for direct primary. the
only real primary, vote yes on the
second proposition on the ballot.
A direct primary is no sure cure
for all political evils but it gives the
voters a chance to choose their own
candidates. Under the present sys-
TEN. the politicians are in control
and usually do as they please Every
voter who believes in the people
managing their own affairs should be
sure to vote for the direct primary
On Tuesday, March 8
Watch out and make no mistake
Vote yes on the second question
Do not vote for a preferential prima-
ry. 1t is humbug.
Following are a few opinions on
the direct primary which are worth
reading
1t is needless to say that cordially
sympathize with the movement to
reform primaries. 1t is true that a
reformation Of the primaries will not
solve all the evils but it viii appreci-
ably minimize the bad effects that
spring from certain causes now po.
tent in our politics.
.... Theodore Roosevelt.
This (the Direct Primary will have
a most salutary effect in preventing
the perversion OF party organization
to selfish uses. Party nominations
should accurately reflect the will OF
the enrolled voters, and provlsiun,
should be made for the expression OF
this viii as directly as possible The
organization of parties, not me ely
in theory but in fact. should accord
with the spirit of our institutions; il
should be Democratic and not ollgar-
chic or despotic.
Whatever may be said in theory,
the intervention of delegates to
choose nominees is for the most part
sham. Whether the delegates are
ignored, as is so largely the case. o.

they actually exercise the state
would rise in indignant protest.
