Miss Wells Friend Obsysd the
Injunction and Now She
is Married.

oswego. Sept. 2s.-The marriage of Miss
Frederick r. Wells, of this city and
George Watson. postmaster OF Leaven-
worth. Wash, is the end OF a matter-ot-
fact romance.
About a year ago Frank Riggs, a re-
tired merchant. decided to take western
trip. see the country and visit relatives.
He was a friend OF Miss Wells and in
quired what he should bring her. In a
spirit OF fun she replied bring me back
a man"
She thought no more OF the request un-
I'll some time afterward when she re-
ceived letter postmarked Leavenworth,
Washington. and addressed in an uEfa-
miliar hand
Tearing the envelope open. she found
that the letter was from a stranger who
signed himself George Watson. and who
asked her 10 correspond with him. a
photograph also arrived. showing the
sender 70 be a man possibly sixty years
old
Miss Wells answered the letter and sent
her photograph. From that time the cor
respondence was regular.
Mr. Riggs has brother-in-law, Samuel
Merriam. residing in Leavenworth, n
mining village OF about 500 inhabitants.
lHflN ut met NtbiEt NdAcoHg Aiit p'eN-
master, who he learned was a wealthy
ranch owner and interested in considera-
bic mining property.
The postmaster. as time wore on and
the two men became more intimately &c
qualnted, complained OF the loneliness OF
his life. He had married early in life ani
had two children. His wife died years
ago. his son was living 80 miles away
from him and his daughter was at Al
harta Cl0 rynf1as
Then Riggs thought OF Miss Wells re-
quest and told Mr.. Watson about IL. That
night he wrote the letter.
For nearly a year correspondence was
kept UP and a few weeks ago letter was
received by Miss Wells saying that her
Western friend having business in the
East would stop at Oswego
When he did come TO town. he did not
appear at once al Miss Wells house, but
put up at a hotel. lie was curious 10
know something OF the woman ne 1ad
come 5000 miles to see and he spent two
days in finding out all he could about
her. Then he made himself known and
the wedding was soon arranged.

| solved By the cutting OF this one Gordisn
knot He no longer needed 10 beg.
How many things would be solved in
society and the world II 20 men the
church could communicate desire for
better things and the power 20 realize
them Poverty would be staid. Anarchy
would be swept from the land and vice
and iniquity would receive their blow OF
| death.
Not by law alone will these results ever
be accomplished. Law may restrain but
IL can never uproot the guilty passion OF
men. The lion does not lose his thirst for
blood merely because he is Gagged.
The only way nation or a man can or
will renounce the evil IL by conservation
10 the good The vices OF men can only
be crowded out by virtues.
II is for the church and every worthy
institution 10 inspire and lead men 10 a
larger development OF all the nobler func-
tions OF the soul. To impart 10 them new
capacities, new power by stimulating
them to do their best Is the great task.
IL is for us individually 10 assume the
responsibility and push on the work that
few heroic souls in the past have done
so nobly, that some now are endeavoring
10 carry iorth.
This thought OF human need ought 10
make us pause and question this morn
ing whether we individually have the
StfenEtn Nltnln nS 10 lfnpdft new power
TO others. Too we'll we know. each one OF
us our own needs. Our weakness appauls
Us.
But what Is the source OF that week
ness Does IL not spring from the desire
OF our hearts aimed at the things OF this
world?
DO we not discredit our God when we
continue in our weakness and sin?
Has He not given us the promise that
His grace shall be sufficient unto us?
Not by might or by power but by His
spirit shall be become useful instruments
In the service OF men.
Let us sec our duty clear and plain. The
duty OF making our lives so fine and up
right that they shall move the hearts
and wills OF others toward better things.
We shall then discover a new Joy In
life that will give life itself new con-
tent and meaning.
The JOY of helping another soul 10 live
the more abundant life.
May our prayer be this morning that
men needless OF all the needs OF their
souls may pause and think. May that
other prayer also be ours, that we may
live so close 70 God as not only 10 be
able TO reveal 10 the world Its need but
be OF service to the world in its EFFORT TO
meet that need.

LETTRR TO A. ID. FARWEEL co.
Montpelier, IT.:

Dear Sir: When you see well-dressed
man, you like to say: There's sample of
our clothes. That man is worth two of him
self as he was when he came to u.s."
We have the same feeling. Our paint on
house is worth twice as much as old-fssh-
Toned painters paint, lead and Oil. 1t looks
the same when first put on. In three months
1t don't. In three years it decidedly don't.
Lead and oil chslks off in three years; 1t
is considered frst-rate job that lasts three
years.
Devoe lead and zinc is about as good in
three years as 1T was the day the painter
left 1t.
Zinc is the secret Of IT. no secret at all. A
good many painters know zinc; some mix
1t in with their lead. We grind it in; not a
little; good DEAL
It's the zinc and grinding that does It,.
You can't mix zinc by hand. We grind it
by machinery.
Painters are finding us out, though some
painters are slow.
You know that it pays good man to
wear good clothes. How many customers
have you that know it.
Yours truly,
