Jos. DeLong, who has been rusticat-

months past, came into our sanctum
last Friday, much elated over the large
catch of black bass made by Peter
Shoup and recorded in our last issue.
He said he would chaperon a party on
Saturday, and after securing the rod
from the lucky fisherman named above,

of farm help this year, however, that
in many parts of the State the women

Letter to u. A. Palmer.
Emporium. Pa

Dear Sir: There was a time when it
paid a painter to paint lead and oil,
and fight shy of anything else. That
was when the market was full of poor
paints, and zinc was unknown.
Now zinc has come in, lead and oil
must give way-it is too short lived.
There are two ways to use zinc; you
can mix it in with lead in a tub, or buy
Devoe lead and zinc, which is ground
together by machinery.
If you mix yonr own lead and zinc,
you gain something; if you buy Devoe
you gain more, because machinery
does better work than hand mixing
Experience is worth something. We've
had 146 years of it.
Yours truly,
43 +. w. DEVoE & Co.

A Book for Girls.

In her book ITO Girls" Heloise Ed
wilma Hersey has much to say that is
practical and of the greatest value to the
young girl. The book is written in the
form Of letters and in confidential tone,
illustrated by introducing fictitious per-
sonagesA as examples or types. The au-
thor writes directly to those she would
benefit and very wisely has made no effort
to produce a work for the edificalion of
grown-ups Her book is for young girls
with their educations and social life be-
fore them and she appeals directly TO
them in a friendly and convincing way.
The author has this to say regarding the
purpose of her work and the method that
she uses:
What 1 had to say fell naturally into
the form of letters That form kept my
audience clearly before me in the person
of a single girl that needed counsel in
some eXigency of life large or small.
Half unconsciously | found myself ad-
dressing two different types of girls. The
first whom ! shall address as Helen, is
the girl who. for one reason and another.
has decided not to go to college. but who
is finding. or has found. an education in
the better sort of boardlng-school have
known this kind of girl most intimately
for fifteen years. l think her problems
are grave ones and have found her meet
ing them with seriousness and a high
purpose for which she often fails to get
credit The other letters are addressed
to Margaret. the college girl. OF course
her position is not strictly unique one.
and many questions which meet her meet
other girls as well.
1.-The subjects treated in the letters fal
into three divisions; the first of these is
the educa tieual one. the second the social
and the third concerns personal character.
These will constantly overlap each other;
but in the table of contents they have
been separated, as far as it was possible
to do So
This book makes very delightful holi
day present for those for whom it is in
tended and should we'll fulfill the authors

little sister of Jerry Fitzpatrick, who be-
comes a famous singer. Her sister Jessie
proves no less talented and successful in
another form of art, and is just such q
character as all like to have succeed. Per-
haps the most charming feature of the
book is the influence which the noble little
Jessie has upon Cora Glyndon, more
highly favored by birth who has also been

1sRovs Of the Fort. .

Boys of the Fort by Captain. Ralph
Bonehill, is q complete story in itself, but
forms the fifth volume of a line of works
issued under the general title of Flag Of
Freedom Series" This tale relates to
the ins and out of military life at one Of
our Western forts of to-day, showing
what both officers and privates are called
upon to do, and what troubles the Indians
and bad men of that locality are still in
the habit of making. The field is one
