when you see it. Devoe Ready Paint
is the paint that costs half as much as
lead and oil because it wears twice as
long.
But it looks no better, when first
put OH.
You must wait little to see the
difference.
The first summer takes off the gloss
of lead and oil; the second summer it
chalks: the third, it wants repainting.
1t probably spots in a month or six
weeks; the gloss goes off in spots or in
sections.
Devoe Ready Paint even holds it's
gloss longer than lead and oil wears.
The loss of gloss marks the beginning
of wear, but it keeps out water ten
years, under favorable conditions.
Painters think three years is enough.
1t is for lead and oil

THE SIMPLE LIFE.

sumption from which she died on
Monday, November 80. at 3:l5 O'Clock
p. m. On Thanksgiving day Otto
Siewert joined his family in Neenah
and was greatly surprised to find his
wife dangerously sick. In the death
of Mrs. Siewert her husband loses a
devoted Christian heipmate, her three
little children kind afectioDate
mother, and the church and community
a devoted member and kind friend
and neighbor. Her place will be hard
to fill.
Emma L. Oberly-Siewert was born
in Neenah on September l, 1879, where
she received her education and church
| training. She was married to o. H..
Siewert in July 4, 1892. From this
union five children were born, two of
whom had preceded their mother in
death. and three Edith, Valentine
and Ruth, surY her. DR.. j. E.

ian church, in Neenah, held short
services at the home of her sister,
Mrs. A. w. Jape, on Wednesday morn.

Jennie, Miss Francis Deal, Miss Mary
Jape, all of Neenah; Mr.. and Mrs. G..
G. Oberley, of Grand Rapids, and
Mrs. Robt. Grignon, of Grand Rapids,
! Minnesota.
On arrival of the remains in Ne
| koosa, they were met at the station
by large delegation of friends and
neighbors and conveyed to the Coz
gregational church where further
funeral services were held, BY Rev.
1 Pinkney at her home church of which
she was devoted member. The
edifice was crowded with Sorrowing
I friends who came to pay their last
respects to noble Christian woman.
! The flowers from her admiring Neenah
and Nekoosa friends were many and
beautiful. At the close of the services
at the church her remains were
followed to the cemetery by long
line of carriages and deposited in their
last resting place by loving hands
under the ritualistic service of the
church where she loved to worship
while on earth.

Jack SulIy Did Not Kill Hi,
Fellow Prisoner When
He Broke Jail.
PARTED AT THE JAIL Door
4uIIy Too shrewd to Want Travelling
companion-Baer's Father Pre-
pairing to Leave South
Dakota.

Mitchell, S. D., Feb. 26.-There has
been considerable speculation In this
section of the state as to the fate of
young Baer, who recently escaped from
the Dawson county Jail with Jack
Suiy, the noted cattle rustler. Some
OF the yellow-tinged papers have at
tempted to make it appear that the
young man had been killed by Sully in
order to prevent the disclosure of the
manner Of escape. 1t is now known
that young Baer visited his home near
Fulton and was seen riding north from
that place by man who Is absolutely
certain Of the young mans identity.
This report is considerably strength
ened by the fact that Baer's father had
advertised his personal property for
sale, with the avowed intention of leav-
ing The country, but when the day Of
sale arrived one of his best horses was
omitted from the list, as was also a
saddle Of which no reasonable account
could be given. 1t is reasonably cer-
tain that the two prisoners parted
company 'at the jail door, Jack Sully
being too shrewd to allow any one to
accompany him In q race from the off,
GERS OF the law, and especially by ono
OF whom he knew so little as he did OF
Baer.
