Judge Ralph Wheeler has rendered q
decision In the case of the United States
Envelope company Va. the town OF Vernon,
which was tried In October. The Judge
reduces the valuation on the mill and
manufactures 800, 900, making the total
valuation $2O3, 600, which includes $4,000
for dwelling houses. He excludes the
items Of horses, asses and mules, coaches,
carriages and wagons. The property was
assessed at $3O3, 900, In which amount the
assessors included the stock raw, wrought
and in process Of manufacture. This was
an error of the board, as this should have
been separate under the head of Invest
ments In mechanical and manufacturing
operations" Instead of doing this assess
ors Jumped the whole thing at $303. 600.
The judge In reducing the assessment
on the mill and manufactures to $500, 600
brings the property down on basis with
the other mills In town. AS the stock In
the mill was not placed under the proper
heading In the assessment list, the Judge
did not include that In fixing the valuation
Of the property. Therefore, taking this
as basis, the next assessment Of the
White & Corbin plant with the manufac-
tured stock and that In course of manufac-
ture at it's value, will make the total con-
siderably In excess of 100000. This
amount represents merely the mills and
machinery.

Letter to j. M. Leach,
Stafford Springs, Conn.


Dear Sir When you see well-dressed
man, you like to say. there's sample
of my clothes. That man Is worth two of
himself as he was when he came to me. -
We have the same feeling. Our paint
on house Is worth twice as much as old
fashion painters paint, lead and oil. 1t
looks the same when first put on. In
three months it don't. In three years it
don't.
Lead and oil chalks off in three years !:
it is considered first-rate job that lasts
three years.
Devoe lead and zinc Is about as good In
three years as it was the day the painter
left 1T.
Zinc Is the secret of it : no secret 1t all.
A good many painters know zinc, some
mix 1t In with their lead. We grind it In:
not little good deal.
It's the zinc and the grinding that does
it. You can't mix zinc by hand. We grind
1t by machinery.
Painters are finding us out, though
some painters are slow.
You know that 1t pays good man to
wear good clothes. How many customers
have you that know 1t
Yours truly,

History would repeat itself. There

Duke lived or died, Randall Palgrave's
fate would be the same.
Certain events had occurred during
the five or six days passed by him and
his son Blandon at Lurlworth Towers,
which had brought this danger very
wildly before his mind; and as he
marched along, with Napoleonic
downward poise of the head under the
crowding ranks of pictured ancestors
his mind was concentrated upon his
fears.
What's the matter, governor" sud-
denly inquired a voice at his side, and
he glanced up to see his son Blandon-
youthful replica of himself. You
look as doleful as though you'd just
spent your last farthing-upon some
body else," went on the young man,
chuckling at his own pleasantly.
why aren't you dancing?" interro-
gated Palgrave, ignoring the question
that had been asked him.
Cant find my partner. She's given
me the slip, bad luck to her. though
she promised me the dance early in the
evening"
Who was it," Palgrave queried,
with an interest graver than so trifing
matter as a forgotten valse seemed to
warrant
ooh, the Princess of course. Am

ernor?"
