Dear Sir: Here's what "wears longer"
means.
ID. II. McGowan, COoperstown, N. y,
built house in 'S5 and painted Devoe.
The paint lasted ten years.
A year or two later a neighbor built a
house and painted it lead and oil. The
neighbours house was repainted twice in
the same time.
This looks as if the neighbor's house
was painted three times in eight or nine
years, and McGowan's once in ten years.
We are not quite sure-we tell the tale as
it comes 10 us.
1t is enough to say that Devoe Lead and
Zinc lasts twice as long as lead and oil
alone. The reason is: white lead is soft
and chalks off; zinc is hard; and, when
thoroughly ground into the lead, pre-
vents its chalking and makes it more
durable.
Yours truly,
F.W. DEvoE & Co.,

still living: Lorenzo r., Rodney, Iowa;
Mrs. w. G.. Rogers, Tylersburg; j. D.,
Jefferson, Ohio; Bessie L., Pittsburg;
Mrs. Ellen Van Camp, d. c., and NJ. L.,
of Tionesta.
At the breaking out of the Civil War he
enlisted for three years, and in December,
1868, he re-enlsted for a like period or
"dnring the war" He served in Co. d
of the l05th Reg. P. ", which did such
valiant service in the Army of the Poto-
mac. He ranked as Corporal and was in
26 battles. The account of his narrow es-
capes was thrilling, and he was a prison
er four months in Salisbury.
AT the close of the war he became a
circuit preacher in the Evangelical Asso-
citation, and continued to do such work
till 1878, when he received regular ap-
pointments as pastor by the conference.
In 1895 his health failed and he retired
from active service. For many years
Mr.. Rhodes was constant sufferer but
he bore his Affections with the fortitude
of born Christion soldier, and of him
it cah truly be said che fought good
fight, he finished his course, he kept
the faith"

WHOSE FAULT IS 1T?

The world is full of disease and
pain. Whose fault is it? Every
body's; therefore often the fault
of the sufferers themselves But
the pressing question is,-what to
do, how to relieve, how to cure.
What would become of US If
means were not found to destroy
disease? Why, then, of course,
disease would destroy US and the
world would be depopulated. I'm
til we learn how to prevent dis
ease, we must be thankful for the
means of a6atissg and curing it
after it has seized upon us, and
stands, like savage with uplifted
axe, ready to take our lives. Es-
necially do we need some sure
and speedy form of treatment
for those complaints which are
universal,-which arise in every
country and climate. We allude
to such ailments as Nervous and
General Debility, Hysterla, Scro-
fula. Chronic Diarrh@a, Asthma,
Throat and Lung Complaints,
Blood Impurities, and the ills OF
women and children. For these
wAMPoLE's PREPARATION

snecifie as any medicine yet dis

and contains the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod

This will be read at the next meeting
Dr. Emerson then read a paper on an
incident in the life Of Kamehameha
hitherto unknown. which had bear
ing on Hawaii's later history. He OBJ
tanned it from an old native living now
in Honolulu. who heard il from a SOL
der in Kamehamehas army. After
Kamehameha had slain Kiwalao he
went around TO Waipio, Hilo On his
return to Laupahoehoe in a double war
canoe he encountered a large fishing
canoe. in which were five men. "Ka-
mehameha,'' said DR.. Emerson, with
the acknowledged purpose of robbery,
endeavored to intercept the fishermen"
The latter padded quickly to the shore
and were off to the inland by the time
Kamehameha landed. He refused to
permit his men to follow, but went
single-handed after the fishermen. He
caught one man, Kaluahi, and endeav-
ored to take his net. Kamehamehas
foot became wedged In lava and the
man got away. Suddenly another man.
Naone, srtuck Kamehameha with a
club on the forehead and he sank
bleeding and senseleSs. Kamehameha'
men then came up and rescued theii
chief. He was taken TO a hut, and on
reviving prevented his soldiers from
pursuing the offending fishermen The
men were finally taken and came into
Kamehameha's presence expecting
death. The chief asked why Naone had
not struck a second blow. and was
told that the first blow was Intended
to kill, and should have killed him.
then acknowledged he
was wrong. and was prompted by rob-
berry to pursue the men. He said then
he would make robbery punishable by
death He gave to Naone the house in
which he lay and the land surrounding
it, and the land on which the ARRAY
took place to Kaluahi. When Kameha-
meha died, both men are said TO have
gone into the woods and hanged them
selves. This incident caused the franz
ing of a law which translated was that
the aged and young. and little children
shall lie at safety on the road" DR..
Emerson classes Kamehameha with /
william the Conqueror, but believes
his personal strength and prowess have
been much exaggerated.
