The notifying influence of death.
which is so often felt in private family
relations has been manifested on a
large scale, internationally, since the
death of Queen Victoria. The English
people have been often irritated by
the German Kaiser. His commercial
and naval schemes have seemed to
them to be aimed against England. His
message of sympathy to President
Kruger, after the Jameson raid, still
rankles in their memory, and more
than once they have taken Offense at
some impulsive thing which he has
said or done. But when, as soon as he
knew that the Queen was seriously ill,
he left the scene Of the festivities with
which the Prussian bicentenary had
just been celebrated. and hurried
to the death-chamber at Osborne, they
were profoundly moved; all the more
so because he waived official formali-
ties, and Joined the waiting family
group simply as the grandson of the
Queen. The same influence was felt
elsewhere. There was no liscordant
note in the worldwide expression of
sympathy. The French and Russian
journals, which are apt to be critical.
If not hostile, toward England, Joined
In the tributes to the Queen. American
journals were as cordial as If there
never had been any Alabama claims or
Venezuela difficulty or Alaskan bound
ary or other vexatious question be-
tween the two countries. Under the
reciprocal kindliness thus induced,
English journals began to suggest that
perhaps too much had been made of
annoying amendments to the Hay
PauncefOte treaty. and that it might
be well to cOncede to the United States
the disputed points. So it came to pass
that the good Queen, who has all he I
life striven for peace, in her death ex-
erted strong influence in the same di-
rection.

A successful advertiser who has used
most Of the methods Of publicity has
written to an advertising periodical that
he would choose single newspaper in
community for his business an
nouncements in preference to all the
other means Of advertising comb:ned.
Nearly every method is good, but only
as an adjunct to newspaper advertis-
ing" he said. "People take up a news
paper for the distinct purpose of read
ing, and therefore. with minds in an
impressionable state. They read adver-
tising not by accident, and not when
their minds are otherwise employed.
If the advertiser can say anything to
interest them they can remember it.
The newspaper columns are the places
where people look for such information
as the advertiser should be able to
give"

Dear Sir AS n painter you probably
use lead and oil, and would naturally OBJ
ect to Devoe lead and zinc. Let us have
few words on the subject.
Painters say good lead and oil job
will last three years, and they say house
ought to be painted once In three years.
We take them TO mean that their work
Is good for three years, no more and no
less, or not much more and not much less.
DO you want your work to last longer
What do you say to six years. You'd
have to have twice as much work, you
know; or you'd be losing money.
Consider the case OF your doctor. You
you call him In. Is II better for him to
get your child out Of bed tomorrow, or
keep him sick for n month";
You prefer n quick doctor So does
everyone else In your town, and county,
and state. We are all alike; we all want
our doctors quick. A doctor, that gets
his patients up quick, is the doctor that
gets the patients--gets rich too, If he isn't
run TO death.
It's about the same with the painter
isn't iti Suppose you paint Devoe, and
your competitor objects to Devoe; your
work lasts six years and his work three.
You cost your customer half; he costs
double Who'll get the business; and
who'll 20 to Texas'
Devoe lasts six years--not exaotly-we
know of It's lasting seventeee-and It new
er wears out in less than three, so far as
we know. On windy sandy, seaside
house, II lasts three years. Lead and
oil lasts one year there
Devoe lasts two or three times as long
as lead and oil and it's going to paint
your town. DO you want to be In i,S
Yours truly,
+. w. DEvoE X Co.

GREYHOUNDS.
They Are the FIeetest of All Four
Footed Animals.


Comparatively few people realize OF
what remarkable speed dogs are capa-
bic. Some remarkable statistics In re-
gard 10 this have been gathered by NJ.
Dusolier. n French scientist
After pointing out the marvellous en-
durance shown by little fox terriers
who follow their masters patiently for
hours while the latter are riding on bi-
cycles or I'm carriages. he says that even
greater endurance Is shown by certain
wild animals that are akin TO dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between 80
and 60 miles In one night, and an arctic
fox can do quite as well, lf not better.
Nansen met one Of these foxes on the
Ice at point more than 20 miles north
west OF the Sannikow territory, which
Is $50 miles from the Asiatic coast. Es-
kimo and Siberian dogs can travel 40
miles on the Ice In five hours, and there
In one case on record In which team
Of Eskimo dogs travelled G1a miles In
. % minutes.
According 10 M. DusolIer. the speed
Of the shepherd dogs and those used In
hunting ranges from 10 to Is yards n
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt at the rate OF 1S TO 10 miles an
hour. and they can maintain this speed
for at least two hours.
Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift,
as Is proved by the fact that dog OF
this breed once beat thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles In Gh min
utes, which was at the rate of nearly
Is yards second.
Greyhounds are the swlftest Of all
four footed creatures, and their speed
may be regarded as equal to that of
carrier pigeons. English greyhounds.
which are carefully selected and which
are used for coursing. are able to COW
or at full gallop space between Is
and % yards every second.
How great an achievement this Is
may be judged from the fact that
thoroughbred horse rarely IL ever ex-
ceeds 10 yards. Moreover. it is said
that hare at It's greatest speed never
goes faster than at the rate OF Is yards.
These interesting statistics are ex-
citing much comment among sports
men and other lovers Of dogs, and the
opinion is unanimous that NJ. Dusoller
has fully proved the right OF the grey
hound TO rank rs the swiftest of the
quadrupeds. Express engines only sur
pass them. Mail.
