reverses came to her with added sever
ity. She felt that she had been de-
ceived and never forgave Butler.
When his name was submitted to her
for visit to Windsor after his return
from South Africa she stroked it
through with her pen.
In her ptriods of mental activity she
talked so necessarily of the war that
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain was
commanded to go to Osborne to con-
sole her with reassuring news. His ef-
forts to console the Queen were fruit
less and she abruptly closed the confer
ence.
Subsequently Lord Roberts was di-
rected to appear at Osborne. He did
not attempt to deceive the Queen but
frankly explained the difficulties which
had to be overcome before the war in
South Africa could be terminated.
The locality of the fateful event a
correspondent thus describes: "The
worldwide concern in the Queens
life is shown by the enormous accumu-
lation of messages which have neces-
STATED the installation of telegraphic
plant and corps of operators such as
would be adequate for a town of 100, 900
inhabitants, and even now the wires
from OahOrna Houaa ara u0rh;no l.,
cessantly. Outside the house all is
silent. 1t is a starry winter night, and
the only watchers near the lodge
where the bulletins are displayed are
the reporters whose despatchea have
been handled with the utmost courtesy
and expedition all night from the East
Cowes telegraph office, which is half
an hours walk from Osborne"

ARCTIC WEATHER.

The weather Sunday was OF that polar
severity which caused not only the hus.
bandman to shrink closer to his hreeide
but the contents Of his coal bin to shriuk
and disappear like dew ON a sunny moru'
ing. The mercury was reported Sunday
morning to have dropped as low AS thirty-
three degrees below zero but the aver 4Ie
reports ABOUT town placed it At thirty be-
low.
There has transpired a remarkable
change in the meantime, the thermometer
registering twenty-five above at niue
o'clock Monday morning and still climb ng
upwards. II this sort of retrospection con-
tinues with the mercury we may yet hope
to fool the coal man.

Letter to ROhert SuitOr.
MONTPELIER, VT.

MONTPELIER, VT.
Dear Sir When you build house you
want a good paint next the wood-it goes
long way in taking care Of the wood. The
paint that has the best chance to be useful
is this first coat: first two coats: first three
coats. The first takes care of the wood; the
second takes care of the frst the third
takes care Of the two. All three become
one; and that one is to last forever. For
ever" means as long as the house lasts.
The way to make the first painting last as
long as the house, is to follow 1t up with
repainting often enough.
How often? Depends on the paint. Re-
paint while the paint is still waterproof.
All the wear is outside; there is no wear on
the under paint. This is how the first
paint lasts forever by keeping it covered
keeping 1t sound And this is the cheapest
way to take care OF house. But how Of
ten to paint depends on your paint. II you
paint lead and OIL paint again in three
years or less; II Devoe lead and zinc, paint
again in three years or more.
That "less" and "more" are about as one
to two. Devoeilead and zinc takes care of
house at half cost, because it lasts twice
as long as lead and oil.
Yours truly,
IL r. W. DEvoE & Co.
