To Property Owners:
 Owing to the high quality of the Sherwin- Williams company's paint we have found it difficult to build up a profitable trade in these goods. The whole trouble Is, the goods are too high-priced for the average consumer. The result is, we have a stock of several hundred gallons that is selling too slow, and in order to push them we will sell to any bona fde property owner or agent for use only upon his own property at $1.35 per gallon, provided we have the colors selected in stock. No speculation allowed. These prices do not apply to colors we have to order from factory.

This bears tooth is about an inch and a
half long. 1t is about three-fourths its
original size and is worn smooth and thus
diminished by the friction of having been
carried in pocket for the past 81 years
The tooth belongs TO Mr.. Fred H. Thomp-
son. Ho has carried 1t in his trousers
pocket since 1857, when he was 10 years
of age, and his father shot the biggest bear
ever shot in Bethel.
A man who lived about three miles from
the village complained that IA bear was de
stroying his apple crop. Bruin inhabited
q vast neighboriEg swamp during the day
and every night would come out, shake the
apples from IA tree, eat them and return to
the swamp. Tho crop was fast disappear
ing. Mr. Thompson resolved to shoot that
bear. They found a place where he passed
through the fence, and he and his little
son Fred, armed with rifles, lay in ambush
one dark night
The boy saw the bear first, ambling
along and apparently as big as a calf
They both fred the bear yelled with pain
and disappeared in the darkness. They
rushed after him toward small clump Of
pine trees, in the midst of which they al
most ran into bruin, for he was sitting in
a little brook and whining and crying in
great distress. They fired again, but the
first shot had been fatal one. They got
a team and hauled the bear home 1t
an enormous creature and had the extraor-
binary weight of 525 pounds. There We're
four inches Of solid fat on its back.
Alderman Zenas Thompson has one of
the bears paws at his home, also one Of

Thompson put his tooth into the pocket of
his boyish knickerbockers 81 years ago
and whenever he has changed his clothing
since the tooth has also made change
1t was in his pocket when he was a soldier
in the rebellion and when he lay sick on a
stretcher In the hospital at Washington
1t has worn holes in his pockets and es-
capped st least 100 times, yet he has always
known Of it and picked it up from the
street or the floor. He has lost bushels of
Jackknives since then, but the tooth has
always staid with him and doubtless al
ways will. No money could buy It; no ar
gument persuade its possessor that 1t is not

cure the blue cloth required for General

clad in gray, So distinguished was the

Instructive Statistics.

Some interesting and significant
facts are contained in the latest re-
port of the Bureau of Statistics of the
Treasury Department, covering the
period of eight months, ending Aug.
81. this year and last. The free
merchandise brought into this coun-
try is, in nearly all cases, raw mate
rial, used In manufacturing Industries,
and the prostration of such industries
under Mr.. Cleveland's malevolent ad-
ministration, is shown by the fact
that imports of this kind declined
from s27O, 000, 900 in the eight months
of last year to 1854, 900, 600 this year.
In the same time the imports repre-
fsenting chiefly fabrics which could
and should be made in our own mills,
rose from 1888, 100000 to 1921, 0OO,-
900, an increase of more than 500, 000,-
600, or more than so per cent.
There has been much boasting
among the Free-Traders of the ad.
vantages supplied to our export trade
by the Wilson tariff. The statistics
show that, In the period named, the
exports OF domestic merchandise have
fallen from 1904, 600, 900 to $3.50, 0OO,.
600. Following upon the destruction
of American sheep and the displace.
ment of domestic wool by the foreign
product the imports OF wool increased
from as millions to 179 million
pounds, an increase of nearly 800
per cent, while the imports of woolens
because OF the removal of the pro-
tective duties, rose from Gil, 600, 900
to $40, 900, 600, an increase of about
200 per cent.
The imports of tin plate enlarged
by $1,000, 900 pounds, because of the
decreased duty. Cotton knit goods
imports increased by Just 50, 900, 900.
Wooden cloth rose from 3 millions to

A Good Thing for England.

One of the latest reports Of the Lon

field, dated London, September 81,
1895, said that:
"'The English have shown them
selves the keenest buyers, Yorkshire,
and particularly Bradford, having
been the most busily employed Of all
the very busy manufacturing districts
throughout Europe. The French,
who stood aside last series, and whose
stocks are supposed to be very bare
just now, are also eager operators,
while the German representatives are
acting with more reserve"
London 10 the wool market of the
world. From this report 1t is evident
that the wooden manufacturers OF
England are the most busily employed
of all the very busy manufacturing
districts throughout Europe. There

the American manufacturers are buy
ing wool in London, or that the
American manufacturers are "the
most busily employed"
1t Is probable that the activity of
our manufacturers would be more
noted in the shoddy markets as, under
our present tariff, we are unable to
supply our home market with wooden
goods Of a quality similar to those
made In England at the same
price. The German tariff is an ex
cellent thing for Yorkshire and for
European rag pi;kers. The Ameri-

About 5000, 900, 600 is the estimate

over 1898. In three years the worlds
stock of gold has been increased by
