A clever arrangement of paint
cans and appropriate advertising
material form the basis of an ex
ceedingly attractive window in

of the surface of the spokes treat
ed to one coat of Acme Quality
Carriag 2 Paint—each spoke show
ing a different color of paint. The
following statement is made on one
of the display cards: You can

a dollar by the use of this paint,
With this suggestion and the
very small outlay necessary, we
are sure that all of the shabby

ance. 1 .
Besides being good for all kinds
of vehicles, attractive display.signs
illustrate in colors a great many
other uses for this wonderful paint

worth inspecting. 2t.

Capture of Jeff Davis
Explodes Fake Story
- Philidelphia, Pa,, May B.—Cds
per Knobet, of Philadelphia, the
‘honest Swiss who was a private on
the fourth Michigan cavalry and
was one of the captors of Jeffer
son Davis, told his story of the
capture here today. Even
the younger northern historians
still follow the old sensational ac'-*
count of the capture of Davis in‘
woman’s clothes and Professor
Dodd, a recent southern biogra- ‘
pher of Davis has cone the same
thing. Yer Casper Knobet, one
of the fourteen union soldiers ac
tually engaged in the capture, pro
tested against the story as far back
as 1865 and has done so for pub
lications several times since. -
He earnestly declares that when
Davis stepped out of the tent to
surrender, his wife threw a shawl
over his shoulders. The early
morning air of May 10, 1865, be
ing chilled. Knobet, being only
a few feet away, distinctly saw all
that occurred and he declares that
this was the sole foundation of the
slanderous tale.
As our clders will recall in tho: e
times many men in Georgia wore
blanket shawls instead of over
coats, & custom probably due to
the straits of war and the block
ade of a country without native
manufactures, but Knobet sup
posed that the shawl belonged to
Mrs. Davis and at any rate she
placed it over the shoulders of the
president of the fallen Southern
Confederacy.
Casper Knobet, whose story is
full in detail and absolutely con
vincing, is now a core maker in an
iron foundry at the age of sixty
eight and lives at 1400 South
‘Second street, On May 10 he ex
pects to celebrate the forty-seven
‘th anniversary of the most memori
al event of his life.
