Dear Sirs: Messrs Leachman q Ed
elm, Grafton, w. Va, had been selling
paint, which they thought well of !;
and this had occurred.
They had sold customer Is gallons
of it to paint his house. A few years
later, they sold the same man Devoe
lead and-zinc the same number of gall
Ions to paint the same house. He had
gallons left.
The point of the tale is: IL gallons
Devoe paints an IS. gallon house.
OF course, that isn't all.
Why does II gallons Deyoe go as far
as IL gallons of other paint? Because
it is all paint. all true, no sham. and
full measure.
But that isn't all Devoe lasts
longer. No, no; you haven't got to
wait ten years to find that out. Ten
thousand people know it. We've got
their names. Our agents know thIm I;
they think heap of Devooe. There S
no difficulty in showing your towns
people what to expect of Devoe. $40
will paint a $50 house; and the
painful last twice as long.
Yours truly,
Il. w. Devoe 90.
8 P. s. Abbott & Bailey sell our paint.

Moreover, Fouche unquestionably un- derstood that sooner or later the mom ient would come amid these successes when Napoleon would think himself strong enough to dispense with his dan gerous minister, whose obscure intri- gues and inexplicable evolutions filled him with quite as much disquietude as the movement of the Austrian or Russi- an armies.

GREETINGS AND WELCOME
To Pastor of Epworth M. E. Church by
 His Congregation.

To Pastor of Epworth M. E. Church by His Congregation.
 The members of the congregation at Epworth M E. church will gather at the parsonage this evening to greet and welcome back Key. and Mrs. Henry E. Hiler This will be most enjoyable occasion. Rev. Henry E. Hiler came to Epworth NJ. E. church a year ago. He was a stranger to New Haven and New Haven people. From his first ap- pearance in the pulpit his people were impressed with his sterling character and his unreserved, devotion to his work. During. the year the church has been strengthened spiritually, a fervent interest has been inspired among it's members in all departments of its work, and in all respects Epworth had attain ed higher plane of religious and social and economic life at the close of MT. Hiler's first year as its pastor, than it had ever before enjoyed. The authori- ties at the session of the New York East conference held the first week in April in South Norwalk. had expected. to transfer MT. Hiler to another charge. The people at Epworth having heard a rulnor on Sunday morning, April 5. to the effect that MT. Hiler might be as- signed elsewhere. sent a delegation of six members os their official board to South Norwalk that afternoon, where a conference was held with Rev. Dr.. w. A. Richard. presiding elder of this dis trict. MT. Hiler had received a most favorable call to Lansing, Mich, and other churches in Connecticut would have been glad to procure his Services. MT. Hiler had, however, become attach ed to his people at Epworth, and believ- ing there was a possibility of doing
 much effective work in this church dur ing the next year. he willingly relin-
 quished opportunities of immediate ad-
 vancement, and reported Ito his elder
 that if it should meet with the approval
 of the bishop and cabinet, he would re-
 turn to Epworth. Bishop Daniel A.
 Goodseil, the president of the! session
 of the conference, himself attended the
 decennial exercises at Epworth on
 March P, when he spoke at the after
 noon platform meeting. Impressed
 with the unanimous and enthusiastic
 call for the return of their pastor, and
 knowing much of the history and pres ent condition of the church., Bishop
 Goodsell believing the best interests of
 the church in it's present splendid pros
 pect would be subserved by return of
 MT. Hiler reappointed him to the Ep-
 worth charge.
 MT. Hiler has been assisted in his
 work in the church in no small degree
 by his wife, for whom the people of Ep-
 worth cherish the warmest affection,
 and with whom they are equally loath
 10 part.
 It was the desire of the members of
 the church to give MT. and Mrs. Hiler a
 reception, but they requested that in
 stead of being rendered formal recep-
 ton they be permitted to call together
 their friends. and in their home, with
 out formality, meet the people with
 whom they have so earnestly and pleas
 antly labored during the past year
 The outlook for Eoworth church is
 bright indeed.

FoUcHE.

hazardous course, Fouche, like his master, marched from one success to another, till his head was turned and there was nothing in which he did not meddle. He viewed with real alarm the Errlperor's passion for perpetual war. and like Talleyrand, did his very utmost to hold Napoleon in control, re- ceiving here no small amount of support from the generals round the Emperor, such as Murat, Junot, Berthier and Duroc. Ill particular, he detested and thought disastrously irnpolitic the con- E tinual war with England, and his serlti-
 nents on this head being made known to the British Government, curious re- lations of semi i-confidence arose between them and the murderer of the Lyonnese. It was not entirely disinterested, this desire to stop the Emperor's wars. After each victory Napoleon returned more powerful than before. his des- potisnn became more absolute and op-
 pressive: his demands tor violent measures more difficult to resist, and Fouche, notwithstanding his Lyons record. did not love airnless violence.

BRIDGE TO BE STATIONARY.
CcOntinued from First Page.)

Ccontinued from First Page.)
 O7Keefe as to the relative costs of the two different kinds of bridges was wrong. He said that dredging was very expensive. Also that it would do very little good as there was very little water north of the bridge. In reference to the condition of the harbor he said: Tt is peculiar fact that the Cooperative coal boat could not get up to the dock. '' Alderman o'Keefe again spoke. Said he: If you accept that minority report the city will be out s10O,009. I do not believe that any court in the United States would close up that river. I know for fact that the water above the bridge at high tide is always from ten to fourteen feet deep.'
 Alderman CorcOran then took the floor. Said he: West Haven would never consent to lift bridge, and I do not think the public want it. l think they are of considerably more import ance than two or three manufaetories."
 Alderman o'Keefe then said that he thought 1t was not so much the public that was being considered as a third party up the river. Tt is the nigger in the wood-pile up the river" said the speaker.
 Alderman Corcoran then said: q know nothing about any nigger up the river. If that alderman makes any re- mark like that he is crawling up the wrong tree.'' <"r
 Alderman Minor then said that he questioned the right of the war depart ment to order any particular kind of bridge to be constructed, and he made an amendment to the effect that the majority report should be adopted. Continuing, he said: "The great big city of Orange is saying to the little village of New Haven, You must put a stationary bridge over Kimberly ave- nue. l say We have no right to stop this city's growth by so doing.'
 An aye and nay vote was then taken on the amendment, which resulted as follows: The aldermen who favored the stationary bridge were Messrs. Wheel CT, Bronson, Coreoran. Hosiey,. Maley, Logan, Alling, Dawson. Walsh, Dicker- man, Hilton and Morse. Those who voted in favor of the majority report, or a lift bridge, were Aldermen, True man. Strong, Minor, 'Okeefe, Moran,, McGuinness, Jacobs, Hine and Foote.
 The minority report for a ,fifteen-foot stationary bridge was then declared adopted by vote of F to g. The meet ing then adjourned. 4- tl

Let us see to it that We do not under estimate these things. Let us beware lest, while other communities set out rose bushes and heautify public places, we let ours run to weeds and brambles and forget that people demand to dwell in municipal homes of pleasant aspect, well house-kept, we'll appointed and as well furnished as the public purse can afford. In other words. let us dress our cities as well as we cam; keep our public streets clean; keep the weeds out of the sidewalks; put flowers on our little parks; keep our front lawns in better shape, adorn and beautify all we can.

MEAL TIME DRINKS

 When the coffee toper, i'll from coffee drinking, finally leaves off coffee the battle is only half won Most people require some hot drink at meal time and they also need the rebuilding agent to build Up what coffee has destroyed. Postllrn is the rebuilder the other half of the battle.
 Some people stop coffee and drink hot water, but find this thin, unpalatable diet, with no rebuilding properties. It is much easier to break away from coffee by serving strong, hot, well boiled Postumt in its place. A prominent wholesale grocer of Faribault, Minn., says For a long time I was nervous and could not digest my food. I went to 8 doctor who prescribed tonic and told me to leave off coffee and drink hot water.
 1T did so for a time and got some re- lief but did not get entirely we'll so I lost patience and said, "Oh, well. coffee isn't the cause of my troubles and went back to drinking it. I became worse than ever. Then Postum was pre- scribed. It was not made right at first and for two mornings I could hardly drink it.. s.
 Then I had it boiled full .fiftten min- utes and used good cream and had a most charming beverage.
 T fairly got fat on the food drink and my friends asked me what had hap pened I was so well. I was set right and cured when Postum was made right. ~ :~'" 2'
