Paintings Under Whitewash,

Mural paintings by Charles LIE Brun,
the seventeenth century painter, have
been discovered under a coat of
whitewash at Versailles palace.
The wall on which LIE Brun worked
formed part of .guardroom, but at
the request of Nine. de Pompadour
some alterations were made in 1749,
and this portion of the wall was taken
into set of private apartments made
for her, so that she might be nearer
the rooms occupied by Louis XIV.
The wall was whitewashed in Louis
Philippe's time. The paintings are
two large figures of Hercules and Min

Dime smiled sad, grim smile, and
replied: .--

THEN CHIEF MEYERS TANNED
Manager MeGraw Got Indians Goat
by Referring to Way in Which
ex-Giant Lost Money.

Several years ago, when Chief Mey-
ers was a Giant, he asked Christy
Mathewson to advise him how to in
vest some money.
'Buy Rock Island!" was Matty's re-
ply. So the chief put up $1,000 only
to see the stock drop to nothing. Of
course, the Indian, who loves his dol
lars, was bitterly disappointed. He
couldn't talk to Matty without showing
his feelings.
Last spring when Meyers had been
sold to the Brooklyns Matty faced him
in game at the Polo grounds. AS
the Indian came to bat, McGraw, who
was eager to disconcert him, shouted
from the bench:
''Matty, pitch the chief that Rock Is
land fade away!"
The chief then carved the air.

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery of scheele in
1775 that uric acid was found within the
body--most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
1t was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce 10c. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than ithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar. .....-r
