Letter to III. Y. Simpson.

Laurens, s. c.:
Dear Sir: Two and two make four
not always; depends upon what "two
and two" are.
Two gallons of water and two gallons
OF milk don't make four gallons Of
milk.
Neither does four gallons Of paint
that's half lime, whiting, clay.and kero-
sene oil, make four gallons Of real
paint.
That's what we mean by saving
"Fewer gallons; wears longer" It
takes fewer gallons OF DeVoe Lead and
Zinc than of mixed paints to paint q
house, and it wears twice or three
times as long as lead and oil, mixed by
land.
Prowse & Pelton, Herkimer, N. Y,
write:
Mr.. Chas. Avery, OF Herk,mer,
bought 81 gallons of Devoe Lead and
Zinc to paint his five houses, his paint
or having figured that it would require
at least that amount; SO gallons did the
work and he returned 15 gallons.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVoE g. Co.,

No n can have any reason for dis
senting from the particulars and
proofs which follow, for notification of
the same is within easy reach OF every
resident of this vicinity. That Doan's
Kidneys Pills promptly and effect
ually cure kidney complaints is sub
stantiated not only in this particular
case, but by all who have given them a
fair trial. Testimony likewise shows
that you do not have to take them in
definitely to be cured.
Walter McLachlin, q machine hand,
employed at j. Holiday & Sons plan

1892 Jacob street, says: "Had 1 not
used Doan's Kidney Pills when 1 did L
would not be alive now. L was In a
bad condition, and although / took
quarts of medicine 1 got no better, but
worse. Friends spoke of my bad APP
pearance and thousands knew about it.
I could hardly get around and felt and
looked like dead man more than q
living one. Doan's Kidney Pills were
a blessing to me, half q box relieved
me, three boxes entirely cured me and
now l feel as though my back was as
strong as that of any horse In Wheel.

That good old man in Heaven,
The class in the old red school-house
Known as the noisy seven.
wonder IL he remembers,
How restless we used to be,
Or thinks we forgot the lesson
OF Christ in Gethsemane.
L wish 1 could tell that story,
AS he used to tell it then,
| am sur that with heavens blessing
L could reach the hearts of men.
That voice so touchlngly and tender
Comes down to me through the years
A pathos which seems to mingle,
His own with the Savior's tears.
| often wish 1 could tell him,
Though we caused him sc much pain
BY IL thoughtless boyish frolic,
His lessons were not in vain.
| like to tell him how Harry,
The merriest n of us all,
From the Christians field of battle,
Went home at the Masters call.
I'd like to tell him how Stephen,
So Drumming with mirth and fun,
Now tells the heather in China
The tale of the Crucifed one.
I'd like to tell him how Joseph
And Philip, and Jack and Jay,
Are honored among the churches
The foremost men of their day.
I'd like, yea, I'd like to tell him,
What his lesson did for me,
And how l am trying to follow
That Christ of Gethsemane.
Perhaps he knows it already,
For Harry has told him maybe
That we are all treading one path way,
Through Christ of Gethsemane.
How many beside 1 know not,
Will gather at last in Heaven,
The fruit of that faithful sowing,
But the sheaves are surely seven.

At Yuma. week before last, here were five prostrations, of which three proved fatal, and one death occurred at Phoenix and another at Tempe, all sscribed directly to the heat, thereby shattering the claim of immunity from snnstroke made in behalf of Arizona for the past fifty years. The fact that it has taken half century to discover that death from excessive heat is pos
 sible in Arizona may be regarded as conclusive that the exception proves the rule, and that only with sn extraor dinary combination of conditions pre-. vailing IS there to be apprehended the slightest danger to life. These condi. tious are, abnormal temperatures and excessive humidity, and they combined at Yuma and Phoenix to cause the re. suit stated. Probably not again in fifty years will we hear of five deaths from heat within few days anywhere within the boundaries of the territory.
