LETTER TO PEERLESS MFG. CO.
BARTON, VT


Dear Sirs: Some think we take good deal
of risk in inviting complaints Of Devoe lead
and zinc-we authorize our agent to sell it
under this guarantee:
eff 20 u have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting it on. or hereafter
in the wear, tell our dealer about it.
1--WE authorize him to do what is right at
our expense"
The following story tells how little the risk
Isl
j. H. Asher & Co.. hardware dealers, Rhine
beck, N. y, have sold Devoe from rs to now,
and have had just one complaint in all this
time.
Three sides of q house were perfect: the
fourth was as bad as the three were good.
Explanation - 1t rained the night before
the fourth side was painted; and the painters
didn't wait for the wood to dry.
What is done in such case? Whatever the
dealer who sold the paint, considers it fair to
do. We leave it to him. He may not do ex-
actly what should do if we were there: but
we are not there. The best we can do is to
leave it to him.
Yours truly,
F. ". DEvoE & Co.

HOUSEHOLD.
ABOUT BEING LATE AT MEALS.

Few men understand why it is that
their women-folk are so upset when
the man-ofth e-house is late for
meals. Considerate husbands there
are indeed, who are exceedingly
punctual, and whose non-arrival
lon time would cause uneasiness in
the family; but the majority of the
male sex, while expecting a meal to
be ready on the instant If they want
it, are very ready to suffer business
or pleasure to detain them fifteen
minutes or a half hour, especially at
moon or evening. The wife has
blamed her dinner or supper with
great care. Very likely she has pre-
pared with her own hands dishes
which her good man likes. Eaten
when cooked these favorite viands
hre delicious, but when put back in
the oven and kept hot or when bro

asparagus bed, ten, fifteen and even
thirty minutes, while his wife, with a
meal prepared, could not go on in
comfort with any of her proceedings,
and saw her whole days work blocked
because he would not stop until he
was quite through with his task. OF
course If there are circumstances
which make such a course on the
mans part imperative, his wife is
happy to be Inconvenience, and is
very amiable in accepting his excuses.
Mine times out of ten there is no
excuse offered, for the excellent
reason that the man could have come
In had he chosen to do so. Equally
the merchant or the professional
man who is not particular about leav-
ing his office that he may make his
Usual train, who fingers needlessly
over his work or chats to some en-
ployee or client, adds burden to his
wife's day. He throws the machinery
out of gear. In housekeeping, as in
other business lines, it is most impor-

without friction, and that every de-
partment should fit smoothly into ev-

Literary Note.

The Century Magazine is about to
print series of articles by Prof. Jus
tin FL. Smith of Dartmouth College,
author of 1.-THE Troubadour at Home, y
covering the story of the Canadian
campaigns of Montgomery and Arnold
in the first year of the Revolutionary
War,-what the author calls "The
Prologue of the American Revolu-
tion." Professor Smith has under
taken to do his work so far as possible,
from original sources of information,
and he has personally gone over the
routes of Montgomery's troops from
New York to Quebec, and Arnold's
from Boston to the same point. He
has given special attention to Arnold's
expedition through the Maine woods.
The first article, which will appear
in the November Century, covers
Montgomery's Montreal campaign.
All of the papers will be richly illus
tratod

A WARNING.

To feel tired after exertion is one thing; to
feel tired before is another.
Don't say the latter is laziness-it isn't; but
it's sign that the system lacks vitality, is
running down, and needs the tonic effect of
Hoods Sarsaparilla.
It's warning, too-and sufferers should
begin taking Hoods at once.

Whatever its rhyme or meter;

And If it Is sweet we must make it sweeter. u

Condition of New England Crops.

/ The U. S. department of agriculture,
climate and crop bulletin of the wealth
er bureau, New England section, for
the week ending Monday, June ,, says
Most crops are reported as doing
fairly we'll. although their growth has
been retarded by the cool nights that
have prevailed, and there has been but
little advance, except in grains and
grass, the rains that have fallen hav-
ing helped these crops considerably.
Grain-Fall- sown grain is doing WELL
except in a few localities where the
stand is somewhat thin. Corn, in the
south, is somewhat yellowed by the
heat and sunshine of the preceding
week. In parts of the northern por-
ton of the section it was cut down by
the frost that occurred on the morning
of the 18th: the concurrence of opln-
ion is, however, that the outlook is
good for that planted and that more
will be sown than is usually the case
in New England.
Grass-The condition of grass is gen
orally more favorable than it was last
week, and the feed in pastures is i'm
proving, especially in the northern por-
ton. Glover that was somewhat in
jured by frost, has taken new start
and now bids fair to make good crop.
Old fields are somewhat thin and a
small yield is TO be expected from
them. Lowlands are looking we'll, ey-
cept where there is an excess of mois-
ture in the ground.
Fruit-Pears, plums and apples are
reported as setting exceptionally full,
except Baldwin apples, which, as pre-
viously reported, were not making a
heavy bloom. Peaches are somewhat
damaged by frost, but most reports in
dictate that the damage to all fruits by
frost was much less than was thought
at first. Strawberries are ripening
slowly and are small, but a fair crop
is expected. Complaint is still made
of damage by caterpillars and canker-
and, as mentioned in previous
bulletins, caterpillars are uncommonly |
abundant in portions of Massachusetts. /
Vegetables-Mostg garden truck is re-
ported as doing fairly we'll, although |
as is the case with nearly all crops, |
more sunshine and warmer nights are /
needed. The frost of the 18th cut |
down some few potatoes and some /
sweet corn, but much escaped damage
owing to the high winds that pre-
'ailed. Peas are in bloom in Connect
cut and Rhode Island, with radishes
up and asparagus being cut. Work in
he potato-raising sections of Maine
las received setback from the heavy
aims during the week.
Tobacco-The setting of tobacco
,lants has been delayed by the show
RS of the week. Those already set are
making good growth, but need more
unshine. Those not set are in good
onition, and it is probable that set
ing will be finished the coming week
the weather is favorable.

GENUINE EXCURSIONS.


Nearly everyone living in this com
munity will doubtless want to visit
Greenfield Saturday, June II, when
the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Broth
ers' great consolidated shows, compris-
ing double circus, double menageries,
double museums, double hippodromes,
will appear there. These great shows
are the only ones that appear in New
York city. No others dare even at
tempt to exhibit in the metropolis.
The menageries contain the greatest
number of rare wild beasts ever seen
in one collection. In the circus there
are 300 star performers, and in addi-
tion to all the standard circus acts
there are score or more of sensational
features. All lines of travel will offer
low rates of fare and provide
all the necessary accommodation for
the throngs who wish to go to see
them. The agent of these lines OF
travel will furnish all necessary infor-
nation as to time of trains and rates
of fare. 23-1t

ALI He Haa To Do.

An editor of a country newspaper
has no business to make mistakes. He
has no business ever TO get anything
into his paper that people do not like.
He ought to know what would suit each
individual or be ought to take each
item before it is published and let the
person whom it concerns censor it. An
editor has plenty of time to do this as
all he has to do is to hunt news and
clean rollers. set type. clean the floor.
pen short items and hustle advertising.
press the papers. fold them and mail
them. write wrappers, talk to visitors
and distribute type. read proofs, cor
rect mistakes, hunt the scissors to clip
articles, dodge the bills and dun de-
linquents, take cussings and tell sub
scribers he needs money. These are
a few of the things a country editor
has to contend with, and yet he should
not make mistakes in his paper while
attending to such minor details, at the
same time living on OK tail soup. SUM-
shine, wind pudding and imagination,

and no collar. patch on the equator

numerous as they were last year.
One little 5-cent buttonhole bou.
quet given during the stress of life lie
worth thousand wreaths of roses laid

ter, who gave her name as Clara
Gooding. was bsfore the police court
this morning and was was fined SO
and costs. Not having the amount,
she is now in jail.
The business men held a meeting
in the Gary Hall Thursday evening
last for the purpose of arranging for a
big Harvest Home picnic to be held
here about July 10Th. A goodly
number were in attendance, and all
seemed to be inth usiastlcally in favor
of pushing the matter to successful
finish.
A goodly numbsr of our business
men were called to Great Bend this
week by the county commissioners to
straighten up matters regarding their
assessments. We could never see any
sense throwing money away in bring
assessors, when the county was 81
fortunate in having such smart set
of county officials that can do the job
much better.
In the light of the notatious made
on his books by the Independen,
township assessor last year, the slur
cast upon the mmissioners in the
above paragraph needs some explana.
