Dear Sir A good many people will 500
your house in the course of the next ton
years We want it to show what Devoa
lead and zinc will do. We should like YOU
to paint it, and then not paint it again for
ten years-unloss it needs repainting.
We'd like such a sample as that in every
town in the cOuntry-with notice about
1t in the town paper: Mr.. Smallcys house
was painted ten years ago with Devoe lcYd
and zinc, and has never been repaintcd.
The color Is not so bright AS it was; but
the paint is as perfect d coat as ever to
keep out water
4 good lead and oil job is expected to
last three years; it is a good one that
lasts three years; it generally does not.
Devoe lead and zinc lasts twice as long.

IF you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting ii on. or here
after i'll the wear tell your dealer about

LIVING ANIMALS OF THE WORLD,

these grotcsuue fancy sketches gave place
to pictures made from stuffed specimens,
which We're less interesting than the old
Wood-Cuts. but truer to the life,--as true
to life as the picture of dead beast cou Il
possibly be. Then came the artist who

CHINESE SMUGGLERS GIVE BAIL
Interesting Hearing before Commits
sioner johnson Thursday,

Hearings of more than ordinary interest
were held Thursday before Commissioner
George H. Johnson when G. II. Iloglc of
Montreal, Fl w. Lawyer and O. w. Ford
of Eichford were held for the grand jury
on the charge OF violating the Chinese ex-
clusion act. In the case against Hogle
bail was fixed at $50 and in the other cases
at $500 each.

brought to Burlington and have since been

only foIr witnesses were introduced by
the government and OF those the testimony
OF w. a. Spauldng. brakeman ON the
Central Vermont railroad, was the most
interesting. He told of being approached
ny the alleged smugglcrs and asked to see
that goods which would be delivered by
them he properly looked after. To this he
agreed. He said that one lot of five
Cinnamon were shipped from Waterbury
and that they had their tickets, He told
the men who engineered the job that he
could do nothing less than see that the
Cinnamon were started on their way if
they were provided with tickets. He said
that Lawyer at one time gave him some
change, amounting to less than ~. for his
trouble. He vas asked to join in the
smuggling operations but refused.
The most discriminating part Of the entire
evidence was the Introduction of letters
written by the men on trial to each other
The letters were taken from a laVatory
whore they were thrown by the respon
dents after their arrest. They were torn il
pieces but were repicced and offered as
evidence. They showed the scheme of The

HOW THE CAUCUS IS REGARDED.
To the Editor of the Free Press:

The political methods adopted by the
Proctor "hplier than thou politicians
ut Essex Junction are an object lesson to
honorable republicans, and cannot fail to
have a moral effect against their cdrdi-
date, no matter whether he approves of
them or not.
Tho battle was planned by one OF Col.
Froctor's employees, who was on the
ground. The cauCu WAS organized and
run by Proctor men.
If it is true that % more votes were cast
than the total Subcrnatorial vote two years
ago, including democrats, republicans and
scattering, and y more votes We're found
in the box than were checked on the list,
let the Proctor men justify their shame
less work If they can.
What howl and cry would haze been
raised had the Mccullough delegates been
declared elected Let tho facts be known
Turn on the calcium light, and the iudg-
inent Of honest republican voters through
cut the State will be swift and sure
Proctor's gain will be counted as loss
long before the convention meets.

The commercial fisherman on Lake

as no preparations mad been made for say
ing these eggs the percentage of fish from
them was small. Nevertheless those that
