lnefe are starting examples OF the
development of this capacity in wom-
w,,,cr noir, en- for doing mems
work. When fam
lilies that have been
strong and proSpered get started
down hill, and the men die off, or go To
seed, or lose heart or health. ii is not
an uncommon thing to see he women
develop under stress of crcum>tances
virile vigor that meets IA, ..orm
and weathers it. Very able women
are developed by defects in man, and
of course when the wheel has once
fallen to them and their wills have
been trained to steering they will not
readily give up place that they have
fairly won. Nor should they, says the
Philadelphia Press. The mischief,
what there is of it, has been done; let
the consequences abide. The chief
mischief is that, though woman may
come out strong in doing mans
work, the man whose work is done for
him-if there is one-is apt to come
out weak. Still, it's a pretty poor ar
gument when the worst it can say
about woman's working is that it is
bad for men.

John Harlow BigelOw.

John Harlow Bigelow, Familiarity
known among his many friends as II ncle
Harlow, died suddenly at his home in
this town, Tuesday morning, the 10th
instant. He was taken at the breakfast
table without warning, said he was not
feeling well, very soon became uncon-
scious and died within an hour OF the
time of the attack.
John Harlow Bigelow, son Of Ephraim
and Esther (Coburn) Bigelow, WAS born
In Starks, January Il, 1907, and was
therefore "a years, months old.
When he was seven years old he came
with his mother to Bloomfield. They
lived in the family of his uncle, Eleazef
Coburn, until the death of his mother.
When eighteen years of age he went to
Cornville and learned the house carpen.
ter's trade. In 1880 he went to Nova
Scotia and remained some nine months,
being there at the time of the great fire.
He returned to Bloomfield, where he has
ever since made his home.
He followed his trade of house build
ing for many years and worked on many
houses now standing in town. In 1916
he went to Queens Bush, Upper Canada
where Miss Fidelia Coburn was living as
a missionary teacher in a colony OF
fugitive slaves, and built for her dwell
ing house and school house. While
there he contracted ophthalmia which
affected his eyes so he was never again
able to work at his trade. From this
time he lived in the home of Abner and
Philander Coburn until the death OF
Gov. Coburn, making himself useful in
many ways, and for many years tending
the "woods store" in winter.
He was the grandson of two Revolu-
tionary soldiers.
In 1885, he established his home with
brother just outside the village on the
River road to Watervlle and after his
brothers death continued his residence
in the same house with Dr. F. S. Bigelow
and DR.. Bigelows mother, where he re-
ceived the kind care of relatives during
his advancing years and declining
strength.

Dear Sir: You understand chemistry
how'd you like to earn 500.
Devoe lead and zinc--that's the name OF
our paint that lasts twice as long as lead
and Oils made of whitehead white zinc
its color, turpentine dyer, and linseed oil
If any chemist finds anything else in
this paint, we'll pay his bill and $10C
besides.
It's nobody's bushes what we put in
our paint, of course; but we want II
known. For lead and zinc and linseed
oil are the stuff to paint with: and lead
alone Is not.
We want it known that one word de
scribes the best paint in the world; and
that word lie Devoe.
Are you going to paint?
Yours truly,
