Know the Result BEFORE Painting The wear test is sure, but mighty expensive, when paint proves bogus and there is a bill for resurfacing and repainting. The one certain way is to know beforehand that paint is time-tried and weathertested. You can bank on Dutch Boy Eckstein White Lead
pure linseed oil. turpentine and driers, tinted any color you wish. White-lead paint of this kind penetrates into wood pores, anchors there and dries hard. It holds on unjil it wears out. Dustins: off is the only preparation for repainting.

A FORECAST FULFILLED. U. S. Senator Theodore Burton, July 21, —"The Democratic party ,n its neent platform adopted at Baltimore, and by utterances of its advocates on the stump, have charged that the chief cause of the prevailing high cost of living is the existing protective tariff enacted by the Republican party. They boasted that they could and would immediately reduce Die cost of living by • owering the tariff wa-.i that the exorbitant prices of the necessaries of life in particular would immediately fade away and the poor man's table would hereafter be furnished at a fraction of its former cost. This, my Democratic friends, was your campaign argument; this was the promise on which you regard yourselves as delegated to tear to pieces the fiscal policy which has been the sheet anchor of nearly two decades of unprecedented prosperity and which is the only guarantee of its Continuance. You have erected a tariff policy, blind to every consideration except the consumer. You can benefit him only by reducing the cost of the commodities he consumes without degrading their quality or destroying his opportunity to earn the price of that which he must buy. On tills result you must stand, or fall. There is no escape. Unless a very material reduction nf prices immediately follows the enact ment of this bill it will record one of the most illboding policies ever adopted by a responsible party in a representative government."
A NOVEL COUNTRY CLUB.
I A steam heating plant nad just been j installed in the large, well-equipped , district school in a Wisconsin communj ity. Two young farmers, says J. | Gritting, in Farm and Home, conceived ! the idea of a country club room in the school house. Since the furnace was started in the fall and not allowed to go out until spring, it cost very little more to turn the heat on for evening use.
The clug room is open every evening

AN EARLY APRIL VISIT IN THE WOODS. A ft roll in the woods on a morning early in spring has in it an Interest distinct from that connected with such i walk later in the season. The early* spring adventure presents to the perceptions of the stroller the tirst wild flowers, the first notes of t!»e birds just returned from their winter sojourning in warmer lands, the revived molodies of the songsters who have remained here, almost silent, during the cold weather, and there is heard a different tone from the quickened How of the brooks through the brightening woods. Such a walk one recent morning gave a ! these experb u» • The cold weather of tin* few days preeeding seemed not to have checked the blossoming of a number of the early flowers, in protected places.. In one thickly wooded area, undbturbed by cattle or peaple, there were found varieties of flowers and birds that were not expected so early. Both birds and flowers were found prin•ipal’y on the northeri! side of a deep, wide, winding ravine—which, of course, had a southern expoi?ure. In the deep loam resulting from decades of leafdteay, enriched by washings from a nearby cultivated field, the flowers’ roots nd bulbs had found a most eon* genial soil, and when hastened in their d* vcloj inent by the heat of the sun, they advanced to the b:oss*oming period much earlb r than the same plants could imve done in different environment, even less than a hundred feet distant. On entering this ravine, the first floral discovery was of n oloodroot (sanguinaria) in bloom, in the snow. There were other blood root flowers found lat | er—many of them—and, in turn, were found the spring beauty, anemone, “DutHimnn's breeches,” dog-tooth adder, and crow-foot. Almost in bloom were the May-apple (the mandrake of medicine), yellow violets and red trillium. There were the tiny, pale yellow flowers (or flowerets) of the aromatic spice wood, and the red-purple color of the early leaves of the hickory sprouts contributed its pleasing note to the dis play. The birds that were noticed were nu morons for a retarded season. First to show itself in the ravine was a blue bird, then snow birds, a hairy wood pecker raucously voicing his happiness n flock of chattering red-shouldered blackbirds, some common blackbirds, robins, a tomtit, a catbird, wren—there were crows in the tree tops, and n few killdeer flew overhead, plaintively whistling. But most interesting of the feathered ones were the ehewinks, some half-dozen of which were hard at work among the leaves on the ground, flipping them over in a search for seeds deposited before the leaven fell last fall. The busy workers had gone over a space on the hillside as large as the floor of a store room. The females were not parteiularly attractive, but the splendid coloring of the males made them appear almost bizarre In the gen eral neutral color scheme of the ravine. Of course, there are other birds in the \icinity of (Jreencastle, but these were all that were noticed in that particular nook of the woods. Of insects, there was not one—not even a single sugar* fly, which ought now’ to be feeding on sap from bleeding stumps of trees. But, with a few days of warmth, there will be many specie* of butterflies and bugs, and then will oome the remainder of our birds who deserted us last fall in the face of the advancing cold.

Gen Tierlani has secured this information from our own men who were prisoners in Villa's ramp and were released In the battle between the American troops at San Geronimo \\> have it that Villa's personal following has been reduced to 150.
