Paint Which Lasts Painters, and all others who understand paint, know that white lead and linseed oil make the est paint. Good, lasting pai t cannot be had if either pigment or oil is adulterated. Many of the so-called white leads sold now-a-days have barytes, rockdust, silica, gypsum, etc., in them, and little real white lead. Linseed oil is also frequently adulterated. Such mixtures are dear at any price. Eckstein. Pure White Lead (Made by the Old Dutch Process) is absolutely pure, and makes lasting paint. NATIONAL LEAD COMPANY 1810 Slate Street, Chicago, 111.

When the Power Stopped

By Nettic Dixon

Edna came but of the woods, her arms filled with .flowers. It had been her first visit that spring, and as she made her way to the road and stationed herself beside the trolley tracks she thought of the difference last year, when they had to drive out from town and the only sign of the trolley was a group of men with funny looking instruments working along the road. It was delightful to feel that those long yellow cars brought town and< country Into such close union, and she peered down the track for the first sign of the approaching car. She had understood that they ran every ten minutes, but after aw r hile she grew tired and sat on a rock by the roadway. It must be the very rock, she reflected, on which she and'Jack had sat while they were waiting for the wagon to come along. That had been a year ago. Things had changed since then. There had been a little misunderstanding, and Jack had left town for the west—to forget. Perhaps—ls he were here—she might —well, somehow the arbutus and the woods seemed to put things In a different light. She had been a little mean to Jack Masters. It was the first time she had admitted It, even to herself. If only Jack knew! So engrossed did she become with her thoughts that It was fully half an hour before she realized that in t*l that time not a single car had passed In either direction. She glanced impatiently up the track. It was not pleasant to be alone on a country road with the ghost of the dead past. . All the wishing In the world would not bring Jack back. A lumbering wagon creaked along, and the driver reined his horses In before her. -Waiting for the trolley?” he shouted. Edna nodded. -Likely to have a long wait,” he chuckled. “The power honse Is burning down. Guess they’ll be running again In about six weeks. G’lang!”

JACK SPRANG TO THE GROUND AND CAUGHT HER IN HIS ARMS.

And the tired horses resumed their jog with the driver still chuckling over the joke. For a moment Edna's heart sank. It was getting well along In ‘the afternoon. She had had a long day In the woods, and now she bad to face a ten mile walk to town unless some one came along who would give her a lift In spite of me memories that clustered about the spot she decided that she would remain and wait for something to turn up. Presently a grocery cart came rattling along, and Edna balled the driver. He refused her profTer of money and sprang down to help her to the seat The sprig of arbutus she pinned In his buttonhole was a greater reward than any fee ahe could give, and hs was sorry when a mile beyond a second wayfarer balled him, asking for a ride. As the man turned at the sound of the wheels Edna gasped. She had supposed Jack Masters to be out west somewhere, yet here was be or bis double standing in the muddy road. “Do you mind?” asked the boy apologetically as be heard the anticipated request. “There’s room on the seat for three.” “Not at all,” said Edna, wondering if her cheeks were as red as they felt. The next moment Masters sprang to the seat. For the first time he seemed to realize who the second occupant of the wagon was. “Edna.” he cried, “what are you doing here?” “I have been out after wild flowers,” she explained. “The day was so tempting I could not stand the city.” “Did you go to the old place?" he asked quietly. “The arbutus Is thickest there," she said. “I guess It was about the old hill.” “I was out there day before yesterday," he said. “Somehow I felt that I would like to go back to the old place. You remember that that was where — where"— “It Is not necessary to be more ape-

clflc,” said Edna severely. “It Is not nice to rake up unpleasant memories.” The next moment she was penitent and longed to tk.il him how sorry she was for all that had occurred, but Jack was looking out over the fields now, and he did not catch the glint of tears in her eyes. ' He was thinking of the promise she had made him when they were gathering the arbutus together and how they had agreed to gather the arbutus the next spring as husband and wife. Somehow the memory of it had brought him back from the cactus and sagebrush of the western plains. He had felt that he must come back—that perhaps in the springtime she would !S#a things with clearer vision. He had hoped against hope on his long journey across the continent, and now, at this unexpected meeting, she had snubbed him. It was several minutes before he could command himself, but when he turned to her again it was with an impassive face and some comment upon the destruction of the power house. Edna felt hurt. Why should she care when he seemed to feel so little regret? Her penitence vanished, and Instead there came ap elfin desire to tease. For a moment he seemed hurt at her flippancy; then he rallied and met her mood. Beneath his smiles there lay a bleeding heart, but be did not show his hurt, und the indifference roused Edna to further flights until she was almost insolent. 4 He bore with her patiently, but when at last the boy drew up at the outskirts and announced that he had to turn off to his store Jack sprang to the ground and caught her In his arms as she sought to Jump to the ground without his assistance. Just for a moment they shared the fragrance of the arbutus that was crushed between them; then he released her with a sigh and fell Into step beside her. “I do not need your escort,” she protested when it became apparent that he Intended to walk “You have to pass through a rather tough quarter of the town before you reach- your home,” he said quietly. “I am sorry to have to force my company on you, but I Intend to see you safely home.” Edna thrilled at the quiet authority of the tone. She had been rather disappointed at the quiet way in which he had taken her raillery. This was more like the old Jack, and because It evoked old memories it made her resentful. , “I suppose you have come back home because you were a failure out west?” she said sharply. “Fatlier said when you went that you would never make a success on a ranch.” “On the contrary, I have been remarkably successful,” he said quietly. They passed under the street lamp, and she glanced at his well worn clothes. “I am wearing an old suit for a reason,” he said. “Don't judge by that. Shall I tell you why I came home?”. “I suppose I cannot help myself,” she mocked. “Because I read the message of spring,” he said; “because the dusty cactus spoke of the pink arbutus and made me think of you; because I hoped that the season might bring memories to you and make yon more kind. “I went out to the woods the day I arrived and to the place where we plighted our troth. I was hoping, perhaps, you might come. It was the an nlversary. I was there again yesterday and today. I am wearing an old suit because it Is the suit I wore then.” “I remember it,” she cried penitently, “but I did not know that was the reason why.” “We are at your gate,” he said, with a sudden change of tone. “Pardon my heroics.” He lifted his hat and turned away. She waited a moment, then called softly to him. He turned back, looking into her face inquiringly. “I’m glad the trolley house burned down,” she said softly. “We could go out tomorrow In » buggy—ls you care to. Perhaps It might happen”— “Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.” he announced promptly. “It has happened already.’’ “I’m glad it has,” she said meekly. “I shall always love arbutus.” “And me?” he demanded. “And—you !” she said.

A Lincoln Reminiscence.

When in the summer of 1864 the Lincolns went to live In the cottage near the Soldiers’ home outside Washington the president was dally accompanied on his drives to and from the White House by his special mounted escort of tall Ohioans. There was serious need for such an escort, for Early was not far away from the city, but the dally journey sometimes bad Its play ful side. “The Magazine of American History" quotes this reminiscence by Lieutenant Ashmun of the escort: “It was In the early autumn of that year when one morning on our ride in to the White House. ‘Tad’ Lincoln, who alone was riding with his father, demanded that the carriage be stopped and that one of the escort should climb a wayside tree and get him some persimmons. Mr. Lincoln acquiesced, and while the boy’s wish was being gratified the president turned to those nearest him and remarked upon some plowing doing near by and ended by saying: ‘I hope to see the day when our western prairies will be plowed by steam, and 1 believe it will be done. I have always felt a great interest in that subject.’ ”

No Cause For Anxiety.

"I wish, Susan,” said a fond mothe? to her new nursemaid, “that you would use a thermometer to ascertain if the water is the right temperature when you give the baby his bath." “Oh,” replied Susan cheerfully, “don’t you worry about that. I don’t need any thermometer. If the little ’un turns red the water Is too hot, if he turns blue It’s too cold, and there you are.”— Philadelphia Ledger.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

The Life Innnrance Fight. Richard Olney, chairman of the committee of eminent men representing the Policy Holders’ association, has for years been a prominent figure in National affairs. The association is preparing to overthrow the present managements of the Mutual and New Y6rk Life Insurance companies by electing trustees who will act in the Interests of the policy holders alone. In the call recently issued by the committee all policy holders are ihvited to nominate men for the trust and to

RICHARD OLNEY.

contribute money for the campaign. The balloting for the election will begin Oct. 18 and last until Dec. 18, and every policy holder will have one vote regardless of the size of his policy. The policy holders’ nominees ,will not be announced until September, after all the suggested names have been considered. Mr. Olney is a native of Massachusetts. a lawyer by profession and a Democrat in politics. He was a member of President Cleveland’s cabinet during the latter’s entire second term in the White House, serving first as attorney general and later as secretary of state. Beveridge’s Cigar. Seuator Money’s physician advised him to give up smoking a few days ago, putting him in the same class with Senator Bacon, also smokeless after twenty years of it. Senator Money’s physician happened up at the capitol one morning and went into the Misslssippian’s committee room to pass the time of day. As he entered he observed the senator tipped back In his chair with his feet on the desk and a huge cigar in his mouth. “Here, senator,” he said, “I thought I told you to quit that.” “Quit what?” asked Mr. Money in mild surprise. “Why, quit using tobacco.” “Tobacco! Why, my dear doctor, I am not using tobacco. I am merely smoking a cigar Senator Beveridge gave me.”—American Spectator. Kllen Terry’s Wit. Ellen Terry stories are going the rounds apropos of her recent jubilee. The fair Ellen has a ready wit. At a party recently a young officer remarkable for his extraordinary height was one of the guests, and Miss Terry, being struck by his appearance, learned upon inquiry that, though now in the army, he had been originally intended for the church. “For the church!” exclaimed Miss Terry. “Rather for the steeple!”—New York Globe. Vindication ot Dreyfne. The recent decision of thp supreme court of France annulling the condemnation of Captain Alfred Dreyfus acted as a complete vindication of the accused officer and restored him to the army. The chamber of deputies made him a major. Major Alfred Dreyfus of the French artillery, a member of a wealthy Hebrew family of Alsace, where he was born in 1859, was on Oct. 4, 1894, arrested on the charge of communicating

ALFRED DREYFUS.

French military secrets to a foreign power. Two months later Dreyfus was tried by court martial and found guilty, and Jan. 5, 1805, he was publicly degraded and deported to Devil's island, near Cayenne, French Guiana. On June 3, 1899, a fresh court martial of Dreyfus was ordered, and the prisoner was brought back from Devil’s inland to be retried, and after a long and sensational trial Dreyfus was again convicted and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment in a fortress. Later he obtained a full pardon and was set at liberty. The friends of this unfortunate captain were not contented. They kept hard at work hunting, for fresh evidence in his behalf add finally got the case before the supreme court.
