Letter to Jacob Rice.
Union, 5. G.

Dear Sir; This story cuts two ways,
and teaches two sets of people.
Father Calvin, Westerly, r. /, had
his church and residence painted. Good
job: and this is how he went at it.
Measured all carefuliy-seems to II ave
known Devoe.
Then he got bids from the painters,
paint to be supplied by him and by them.
Saved $40 by using Devoe,
One of those painters ought to h,ve
got that money.
Yours truly,
Ii +. w. DEvoE u Co.

DANGEROUS CHICKENS.
They Sometimes Fly Into the Auto- mobile Drivers Face and
 Disaster Follows.

To warn the new automobilist against pigeons and chickens is very apt to excite his visibility; but they are really dangerous Instructions, says Outing. This does not lie in the fact that either one is big enough to wreck an automobile. A machine of even light weight, striking pigeon in the road, would not feel it; but chickens and pigeons both have a way of waiting until the machine gets close at hand, and then flying straight up. If the automobile is going faster than they expect, just as likely as not the drivers face may collide with the rising bird. This may temporarily blind him, or, much more likely rattle him, so that his machine sweryes to one side, and sometimes dsagreeable things might happen.
 For chickens and dogs it is best to slow down, if possible. One reason for this is the ethical one that you have no right whatever to destroy other peoples property. Chickens and dogs may mean great deal to farmers who own them, and they have fully as good right upon the road as you have going at a high rate of speed. Until you have learned to respect the property and the feel ings of other persons, you have no business running an automobile at rI1 -5 |. =l

Erenchman in Liverpool Sees Many Things Which Stupefy and
 Amaze Him.

There is no class of foreigners to whom the English language presents so many incongruities as the French. The simplest phrases perplex them greatly. A Parisian recently pro pounded through the columns of the Liverpool Daily Post a problem which may not be without interest for Amer jeans. At any rate, it involves prin- ciple of rhetoric which ought not to be disregarded.
 t'I am in Liverpool since a month, :" writes the French gentleman, land I saw many things the which stupefy, but of these this most amaze me. On your tram cars one writes, Passengers are requested not to board or leave the cars while in notion Board I comprehend not My friend say it is saborder,' to go on ship, therefore one me demanded not to go oh car and not go off whilst in motion.
 How can that be? I see thousand passengers since four weeks go on and go off car, but they all go whilst in motion. Shall one explicate how passengers whilst not in motion have power to go on and off car?''

 The only chance for those republ1- cans who are anxious for political or business reasons to see the tariff re- formed by the next congress, is to in dnce sixteen republican members Of the house of representatives to vote with the democrats to pass such bill. The republican majority in the next congress is thirty, and a change of six teen can elect whom they wish as speaker, change the rules that now gives the oligarchy complete control, and the same combination could pass any legislation they may deem best. The senate would in all probability re- fuse to pass such reform measures, but popular opinion is very powerful just before a national campaign, and such miracle is just possible. But don't count on the president until after the republican national convention has either nominated him for president or turned him down for someone else; in the latter case look out for squalls. The White House will be warm place in that event, and any old thing may happen.

Busy Man Thinks Out a Novel Scheme for Kidding Himself of
 BOre@.

"A promoter tells this story against himself:
 'I went to see a busy man in the city, and, being very much interested h my business, I talked rather al tength, and perhaps consumed lit tle too much time. The telephone on MT. Busyman's desk rang and he picked up the receiver.
 All right answered the man. Then, turning to me, he continued: T have an appointment on the floor above that will require me to excuse myself for few minutes He left his desk and disappeared through a door.
 T was anxious to say a few words more, so I waited. Several times ! thought I heard someone approach the door through which he had gone, but ten minutes passed without his returning. I walked up and down the floor, and in my journeying no- ticed a button at the end of his desk where his hand had rested, and through medd1es ome spirit touched it. I was surprised to hear his tele- phone bell ring.
 q made an examinatio contin- ued the promoter, according to the New York News, stfound that the tel ephone was connected with nothing put that button, and realized that he had rung it just to get rid of me.
 q concluded to wait no longer, and sneaked out as quickly as possible.

Lincoln Day In New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Not in dec ade has the anniversary of Abraham Ltncoln's birthday been more generally observed throughout the city than yes terday, and at banquets, dinners and meetings of various societies the mem- ory of the war leader" friend of the negro and white man alike, was the subject of speeches and eulogies The exchanges were closed in honor of the martyr president, and but little busi- ness was transacted in the city. Among the most interesting of the gatherings in honor of the great emancipator'' was that of the Chicago society, which held banquet, the sec ond in it's history. at Delmonico's At the Taldorf-Astoria the Republican club held It's seventeenth annual Lin coin dinner. An oration on Abraham Lincoln was delivered by former Gov ernor Black.

Secretary Chamberlain, who has been swinging round the circle in South Ar rica, is not improving the situation, from an English point of view. When he left England his admirers pro- claimed that he was going to perform wonders. He was to heal the wounds left by the Boer war and make the Boers themselves loyal British sub, jects. We'll, Chamberlain is far from being able to say with Caesar, T came, I saw. I conquered His mission as pacifer has been an utter failure. His presence in South Africa has served only to stir up the embers of discon- tent.

e'One of the so-called antitrust meas ures passed by the senate" says one writer, twas the bill expedite the nearing and tho determination of suits of equity pending or hereafter brought under the Sherman antitrust law There was no debate on the bill and the democrats lost a good chance of doing some good work for the people of the country in calling attention to. the fact that while the republicans were engaged in passing laws to facil- itate the prosecution of cases under the Sherman antitrust law, that the re-. publican administration was overlook ing every bet in the shape of cases that could be prosecuted now under that very law. What is the need of passing laws to facilitate the prosecution of cases under an existing statute when the republican attorney-ge general refuses to even look at the evidence against an odious trust that was dug up and hand ed to him by William Randolph Hearst at his own expense and in the interest of the people of the country who were freezing to death? What is the use of placing more tools in the hands of a
 man when he refuses to use those he has already? That is the republican program, however, and that is the end of any furture attempt at this session of congress to pass a law or laws that will regulate the trusts and prosecute those that are violating -ae laws now on the statutes. It does seem as though the people of the country would some time begin to see the diaphanous game the republicans are playing and send them to the rear. It is safe pre- diction that there will be either no anti trust legislation at this session of con- gross or it will be of the bread pill and stuffed club variety that will be emil nently satisfactory to the trusts and their allied law breakers"

 LEWISBURG, Pa, Feb. 13.--Benne- vile Mensch, wealthy farmer resid- ing near Mifiinburg, this county, was tortured in his home by five robbers last night.
 Mensch on returning from the barn found the house locked up. He forced an entrance and found five masked men, who, after a struggle, bound and gagged him and demanded his money. Mensch replied that he had no cash, but, not believing him, his assailants applied redhot irons to his feet in the hope of forcing him to yield. Frantic with pain, Mensch finally became un- conscious.
 The house was searched for the hid den wealth which Mensch is reported to have, but without result. Plunder to the extent of 50 cents and silver watch was secured from Mensch's per son.

The custom of senators and repFe- sentatives of introducing bills "Dy re questn without even taking the trounle to inquire into their provisions, cannot be too severely condemned. It is posi- lively dishonest to take up the tune or the Lawmakers and incur the expense of printing measures which are not even intended for e1actment into law.
