Speaking of Newspapers.

With news gathering service sweep
ing the world down to the last second,
and with an editorial page the product
Of Judgment, ability, force, discrimina-
ton and real humor, The Pittsburg
Times is conspicuous as daily news
paper that is good reading always. 1t
is safe to assert that there are more
clippings Of news events worth pre-
serving and of general information
made from The Times than from any
other paper published in Pittsburg
Like good home, it is tidy, clean,
comfortable, and with everything of
the best one finds within it's pages in
formation, instruction. comfort and
pleasure as he may desire. That it
conducts no type founders vaudeville
of freak headlines makes it the pride of
the printers craft. 1t is not above re-
publishing from the humble country
papers and with whatever it uses it in
variably gives full credit. ''The
Wooden Indian", quaint in his philos-
ophy, has tomahawked to death many
tired, unhappy feeling. The serial
story, of the best, is told in installments
neither too close together nor too far
apart. The editorials are written with
sincerity, directness of expression, and
reliability of information that make the
page the daily text book of many per-
son in life's school of facts. Giving
other people the right of individual
opinion it is never scold nor nagger.
The Times, first and above all, is reli-
able. Its telegraphic service covers
civilization. Its local newsis crisp and
honest. It's financial and market re-
ports are accurate. The sporting world
is covered in an attractive way. The
social field is carefully and intelligent
ly cultivated. Six cents week.

From the Dallas CFexas) News.
II you are blue don't rub it on Others.
The milk of human kindness is some
times as thin and sour as whey.
Some great demonstrations are made
largely as means of making money.
One ia sometimes able to make long
story short by mere shake of the
head.
Before you go forth to overthrow
your enemies remember that all men
are not built alike.
One may not be responsible for the
wrongs of others, and still he may have
to paw for them.
We have been SO kind to criminals
that the kindness amounts in many
cases to downright cruelty. By over
generous treatment in the courthouses
scores of men have been led to take
their chances of acquittal and glory.
No man can declare or guess Just
what the model newspaper of this GEN.
tury is to be, either in mechanical
makeup or in contents. Before the
century is over every man may be con-
nected by wire with all the news CEN
ters and there may be q ticker in every
house and in every hat.

Income From Electric Light.

A rapid cavass of the Borough gives
me list of signatures of business men
who agree to take collectively over 200
incandescent light equivalents, if same
is sold at not more than 25c each per
month. The canvass is by no means
complete, and we are perfectly safe in
estimating an income of $750.00 per
year right from the start. Add to this
$4,000, amount now paid for torches,
and we have 81, 1000 per year without
any increase in taxation. Now, the
Weetfield plant has two hundred and
eight 1000 c. p. arc equivalents in use
and it costs $4,000 per year to run the
plant which is as will be noted about
four times the capacity of the one pro-
posed here. Basing our figures on the
experience of others, and using the
most economical fuel our expenses
ought not to run over 81, 900 per year.
This leaves surplus of $4,000 to ap-
ply on first cost, and so far from put
ting a 100000 mortgage on every
house in town the taxation should not
be increased at the very outside more
than one-fifth of one per cent. on as
sessed valuation.

Warren Mirror: In proposed con-
gressional reapportionment bill which
will probably be introduced into the
Pennsylvania legislature the counties
of Erie, Crawford and Warren, popula-
tion POI, ,O62, are classed as district No.
81. If this bill becomesa law there will
be but three reliable Democratic dis
tricts in the State. Mercer, Venango,
Forest, Cameron and Elk, population

No. 80.
According to an exchange the love-
sick lads and lassies of the old keystone
State will be forced to find other fields
for their runaway wedding trips than
to New York, as the legislature of the
Empire State has recently made a
chage in the license law of that State.
The enterprising clergymen who used
to tie the knots for the couples will now
miss some little revenues and the J. P's
who used to add to their Golfers will be
forced to find other methods. The new
law adopted by the Empire State is as
strict and perhaps just little more
stringent than that of the keystone
State.

Letter to L. Lockwood.


Dear Sir: James Ackley's house in
Cairo (Catskill Mountains), N. Y, a
conspicuous one in the midst of the
village, was painted Ia years ago with
Devoe; has not been painted since; and
the paint is in good condition to-day
He is going to paint; but there's really
no necessity of it.
Devoe has been sold in Cairo 18 years
Our agent is CASTOR Wynkoop. House
owners there want Devoe, and painters
there paint Devoe. 1t would be hard
job to persuade Cairo man to paint
lead and oil-of course painter paints
whatever his customer wants, even if
it's buttermilk.
Marian Van Hoesen, a Cairo painter,
has painted Devoe for Is years. There
are two or three others; all for Devoe,
we are told-don't know their names.
It's the same wherever Devoe gets
into a town; it stays there and owns
the whole business.
Yours truly,
1S F. w. DEvoE & Co.
