SAVING IS MAKING !

SUPPOSE, for the sake Of an argument,
- that the "lifetime' of the unpainted
weatherboarding on your dwelling was
20 years, and nice coat of MASURY'S
PAINT would prolong its life 20 years
more-4O years in all-and still leave it
in better shape for more paint than it
would have been in five years had it been
left unpainted-not to say one word OF the
appearance and air of stability and pros
perity which would be associated with
the entire premises during all this time,
WHAT WOULD YOU SAVE by the
small outlay necessary to accomplish this
result? Preserve what you have while
you are trying to get more. And, friends,
when it becomes necessary to preserve
"wooden wood" with paint, there is no
preparation under the sun or known to
science or experience, that can compete
with Masury's Railroad Paint, and
where Masury's Paints 60, all other
brands become migratory and seek
fields anew and frolic in pastures where
the people are green. Masury's paint is
very elastic and will expand and contract
with the temperature. 1t will neither
scale nor crack and is guaranteed by the
company and myself and sold at LIS per
gallon. Best Oil As cts. T. B. McCLA1N.

PRIVATE JOHN ALIENS SMART
KID.-"Down in the vicinity of Tu
pelo," said Private John Allen to q
Washington Post man, "some time
during the summer of 1896 a trav'
eler on horseback espied tow-headed
bare-legged country youth of about
IA, driving a pair of billy goats to
wagon of home architecture, on which
rested barrel of water. A conversa-
tion ensued, and the stranger ascer'
tanned that the lad hauled the fluid
from a river hard by his home to the
paternal cabin for use on washdays
He was further enlightened that the
pay was sometimes as good as Is cents
a day.
"'Would you sell your goats, bub,
asked the traveller.
"'I guess 1 would, mister, if some
body would give me 81 for 'em,' re-
piled the boy.
"'Hold on, there shouted native
who had just come up in time to hear
the conversation. Don't take 50 fol-
them there goats. Eff Bryan is elected
they will be worth SIS.
"'Yes,' said the owner of the goats
'and if I had this barrel of water in -
1 could get 81, 1000 for it,"

who are engaged in cheating the rev.
enue. In the smuggling of opium
alone a thousand ingenious ex-
pedients are employed, and new ones
are constantly being invented. Sticks
of timber in cargoes of logs are hol-
lowed out and filled with opium.
Firemen and stokers on the trans
Pacific steamships hide opium in the
coal on board, where it is almost hope
less to find it; they put it in the
pumps, in the hollow iron masts and
between the walls of the staterooms
and the "skin" of the vessel. To get
it ashore, they drop the cans over
board with sinkers and floats attach
ed, or else carry it in buckets with
false bottoms. smugglers of tobacco
throw quantities of cigars overheard
in rubber bags with floats, to be pick
ed up by boats. Diamonds are nearly
always smuggled, very few of them
paying any duty. They are carried
beneath porous plasters, in the hollow
heels of boots, in cakes of soap, in
dolls, and in rife cartridges. Even q
pet pelican has been employed to hold
rubies in its pouch.
Some of the work of the govern
ment detectives is extremely danger.
Gus. Those of them who are engaged
in hunting down counterfeiters are
frequently obliged to 60 into places
where they are in imminent peril OF
losing their lives, and the men they
pursue are often of most desperate
character. The risks run by the in
ternal revenue detectives who search
for illicit stills are tremendous, as may
be judged from the fact that in three
consecutive years 25 of them were
killed and 49 wounded. Sometimes
they are obliged to engage in pitched
battles, and each of them carries two
revolvers and a rifle on duty, much OF
their work being done in remote noun
tain Businesses. On an average, they
destroy 700 illicit stills every year.

OUTwITTED BY PAT.-Not long age
DR.. Nansen, the great explorer, came
across an Irishman who declared that
he had travelled farther north than
anybody.
"What nonsense r' exclaimed the
doctor getting angry. "Why, sir, do
you know calculate to have Travelled
as far as any human being can posi-
BILE get ?'
But still the Irishman persisted, and
went on to say:
"Now, listen to this: How do ye
know that ye've travelled as far as any
human being can get?"
Because" replied the doctor, 81

"What did we do then ?"
"Well, conversed with my staff o

Irishman, "Oi yeard ye; Oh was tn

COMMODORE TAYLoR.-The school
teacher in a country district near San
Francisco is buxom widow with an
interesting boy. Many times she ex'
planned to her history class that she
had named her son Perry because OF
her great admiration for Commodore
Perry, whom she considered one ofthe
most heroic characters in American
history.
Among the admirers of the pretty
schoolteacher was Bob Taylor, one of
trustees, and his attentions to her had
been observed by the schoolchildren.
One day she asked her history class
to name a naval hero in the war OF
1912. Not a pupil could name one.
"Of whom do I think great deal p
she asked, by way of refreshing the
memories Of her pupils.
"Bob Taylor" shouted the class, in
union.
Ever since Bob Taylor has been
known as commodore.

One of the eleverest pieces of work
ever accomplished by the government
detectives was the tracing of the treas
ures which were stolen from the pat
ent office. These were gifts to various
presidents and officers of the govern
ment by foreign powers and potentates
There was a pint bottle of altar o1
roses, presented to General Grant by
the Imaun of Muscat; also bottle OF
pearls, bottle of diamonds, a dia'
mond studded snuff-box, several jew
elled sabres, etc. These things were
kept on exhibition at the patent office
from which they were taken by thieves
and carried to New York. They were
recovered and placed subsequently in
the national museum, where they are
now preserved, together with box OF
diamonds and pearls which was given
by the Emperor of Japan to President
Monroe. This casket was formerly
kept in the treasury vaults, where it
was "discovered" at intervals, giving
occasion for sensational newspaper ar
ticles. Congress would not permit
Monroe to accept it; but the diamonds
we're of no great value.
There is no sort Of ferret work that
requires more cleverness than the bus
mess of the customs detectives. They
are compelled to sharpen their wits
continually in the fight against persons
