ANXIOUS LOVERS LETTER.

Scranton. Ia, Dec. 27 1899.
My Dear Mr.. <iddur:-I went to see
the show Christmas d on the way out,
after the play was over, a beautifm
young lady in the jam poked her umbrcl-
la in my eye. The eye was glass one
and broke all to smithcreens. The beau.
tiful young lady was overcome, believing
she had ruincd u real eye and her agony
and apologies were hcartrcnding.
| am Of a romantic turn of mind and
fell in love with her at first sight As
every one knows, II man with his glass
eye out does not appear to mis- best adj
vantage. The young lady was SO heart
broken, and pity, you know, is akin to
love that | figured this way: If she
knew my eye was glass she would offer
to buy me a new one, but, as it Is, she
believes she ruined Il good eye and told
me she would do anything in the world
to atone for her terrible accident and /
believe she will keep her word. Now,
would | be justified ia asking the young
lady for her heart and hand, or would
be dcceiving her? Should she learn the
terrible truth after our marriage would
she scorn. hate and loath me? | have
called on her every night since Christmas
and her sobs tear my hcartstrings as she
throws her beautiful arms around my
neck, kissing me and telling me, in n
voice choked with emotion, that she will
do anything to right the awful wrong
she has done me. DO you suppose she
loves me for myself or the absence Of my
eye?
] am only an orphan young man, Il
years of ago, with $2jOOoO in my own
right. and should ] ask hcr to marry me
she could have anything in this world she
asked for As I said before I am of a
rcmantical temperament and believe our
meeting was providential yet | would
hate to have her Spurn me after our mar
rago. White | am comparatively rich,
the beautiful young lady is poor in the
worlds goods hut atllucnt physically.
Do YOU imagine that my wealth stands
in our way If thought it did | would
gladly give it up for the yes Of my
fair one and start life anew with a pair
of strong arms and light heart.
This porplcXin~ question has kept me
awake eyer since Christmas, 50 please
answer as sOou as possible and relieve
me of this frightful suspense, as I am
now on the fence. Anxious Lover.

To the Editor of the Reporter.

Dear Sir: Messra. j. ID. Rawles Il Co.
having taken the agency for us in your
town, We bespeak few words In your
columns to say how much more THE
means than simply the sale of good
paint.
Oar agent has TO administer this agree
ment with every customer.
"If you have any FAULT to find with this
paint, either now In putting 1t on, or
hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer
about it,"
"We authorize him to do what is right
at our expens -
We become. YOU see, the partner of
every man that USES our paint; and the
partnership lasts rs long as he chooses to
continue il.
Suppose 100 jobs of painting are done
with Devoe lead and zirc this year; and
some of them don't turn out satisfactory
two or three years from now. Our agent
has got to lido what Is right At our
expense"
OF course this means that we know our
paint ia going to turn out all right.
We have been In business, we and our
fathers in business, l45 years; have made
great deal of paint; and have dealt with
thousands and thousands OF people. Are
not in the least afraid to do what is
right" when job goes wrong.
Aud, in this age of aduteration, we
say "Send IL 10 your state chemist. IL
he finds it adulteraied, we will pay his
bill and send you 800.
There is such thing as honest bust
ness yet in the world.
Yours truly,
