Which may be done with one-fourth the
usual expense, by using our
PATENT SLATE PAINT,
Fifteen Years Established.
MINED READY FOR USE.
Firc.proof, Waterproof, durable, Eco.
nOmical and Ornamental.
A roof may be covered with very cheap
single, and by application of this slate be
mace to last from 20 to 25 years. Old roofs
can be patched and coated, looking much
better and lasting longer than new shin
sizes without the slate, for
One.third the Cost of Re.shingling.
The expense Of stating new shingles is
only about the cost of simply laying them.
The paint is Firc-proof against sparks or
flying embcrs, as may be easily tested by
any one.
IT STOPS EVERY LEAK,
and for tin or iron has no equal, as it ex-
pands by heat, contracts by cold, never
cracks nor scales. Roofs covered with Tar
Sheatng Felt can be made water-tight at a
small expense, and preserved for many
years.
This Slate Paint is
EXTREMELY CHEAP.
Two gallons will cover hundred square
feet Of single roof, while on tin, iron, felt,
matched boards, or any smooth surface,
from two quarts to one gallon are required
to 100 square feet of surface, and although
the paint has heavy body it is easily APP
piled with brush.
No TAR Is USED IN THIS COMPOST
TON,
therefore, it never cracks in winter, nor
runs in summer.
On decaycd shingles, it fills up the holes
and pores, and gives new substantial roof
that will last for years. Curled or warped
shingles it brings to their places, and keeps
them there. 1t fills up all holes in felt
roofs, stops the lcaks-and although a slow
dryer, rain does not affect it few hours
after applying. AS nearly all paints that
are black contain Tar, be sure you obtain
our genuine article, which (or single
roofs is
CHOCOLATE COLOR,
when first applied, changing in about a
month to uniform slate color, and is, to
all iutents and purposes slate. On
TIN ROOFS
our red color is usually preferred, as one
coat is equal to five of any ordinary paint.
For
BRICK BALLS
Our bright red is the only reliable Slate
Paint ever introduced that will etfectually
prevent dampucss from penetrating and
discoloring the plaster.
These paints are also largely used on
out-hOuses and fences, or as {; printing coat
on fine buildings.
Our only colors are Chocolate, Red,
Bright Red, and Orange.

From Darkness Into Light.

I'm sitting alone in the Gaming,
Whilst shadows are failing fast,
And the mellow twilight is peopled
With faces and forms of the past.
see, through the mists Of distance,
The friends that | used t know
Friends? ah! more-the loved ones So
Loved and lost in the long ago.
Oh, memory, why dost thou bear me
Through the CLEAN and gloom sgsln;,
Through the damp, gray mists o! the valley,
Which only bring ME pain
Cans thou give me back also the glnry
Of golden-hued joys that are fec?
Cans. thou recreate oys from ashes,
Or give me back hopes that are dead
But low, gentle voice whispers sadly,
Still, the future has gls1ness in store;
And yet of the past you ask blindly
Such gifts az it cannot restore
Know you not in LIES goblet the sweetness
With bitterness Also has partI
And he who Of sorrow tastes truly
Gains light and new strength Tor his heart!
Then over my spirit there cometh
A peace that is blissful and calm
Into wounds that are sore beyond Eeallng
here stealeth dew that is balm.
Yes, memory watts me most gently
Back through scenes that chsnge IS l 60
And, as in dream, | see pictured
That besu.iful long ago.
see the loved ones OF my childhood
With sorrow that yet is not pain
For they smile and murInur most softly,
Mourn not we will meet you again.
Ahi yes, though lost for season,
In the past l am living again,
And I feel now l would not have severed
One link from fond memory's chain.
IT'S said thet life's crown of sorrows
Is remembrance of happier things;
But memory seems TO have borne me
Tonight on angels wings
Back through the portal OF sorrows
Into my childhood again,
Where the future seems bright,
And the present, free from trouble or pain.
Yes, the dark purple mists which divide US
Tonight have rolled back from the past,
Now finger points onward and upward
TO the sunlight which always shall last
So / prsy-and Sandalphon, the angel,
Bears my voice throug realms OF the air
Tho the night Of the past may divide us,
May we meet in the dawning up there

An Infant Thrown on a Commons to Rot.

An Infant Thrown on a Commons to Rot.
Last Monday night dead male infant was
found on the Government reservation bounded
BY Foul. .and-a-half and Sixth streets and Mis-
souri, and Maine avenues by two young men,
named Sampin and Vaughn. They paid s COL
oIed boy five cents to carry the body to the First
precinct station, but on the way he met UHhcer
O'Neal, who relieved him and carried the body
10 the guard house. The circumstances connected
with the discovery OF the body were somewhat
suspicious, and the coroner decided to make an
investigation. It was ascertained that the two
young men who were supposed to bs the finders
Of the remains were residents of Capitol HUI,
and en- portion OF tie paper in which the child
was folded was the naIre and address OF another
person residing in that section Of the city Thess
two connections coming so closely together led to
suspicion that the chia's life had been disposed
Of in some unnatural manner.
Coroner ID. O. Patterson hold an inquest yes
terdsy afternoon before the following jurymen
simon Joseph, Charles Y. Parker, James Duon,
Thos. F. HALEY, John Il. Cockrell and w. H. q.
Bryce.
Dr. ]. F. Hartigan, who performed an autopsy,
testihed that death resulted from strcngulation,
and that the child had lived at least two hours
after birth.
