Dear sirs Here's what .wears longer''
means. 81
D. Il. McGown, Cooperstown, N. ",
built a house in 'S5 and painted Devoe.
The paint lasted ten years
A year or two later a neighbor built q
Eouse and painted it lead and oil. The
neighbor's house was repainted twice In
the same time.
This looks as,if the neighbor's house
was painted three times in eight or pine
years. and McGown's once in ten years.
We are not quite surc--we tell the tale
as 1t comes TO us.
It is enough to say that Deyoe Lead
and Zinc lasts twice as long as lead and
oil alone. The reason is: white lead is
soft and chalks Off; zino Is hard, and,
durable. Yours truly,
r. w. Devoe q Co., New York.

been given in Walhalla. In his charac-

so completely changed as to leave not
the slightest resemblance between any
two. His manner of speech is clear and
distinct, his voice round and full, his
humor wholesome, his pathos touching
and beautiful. Strikingin in personal APP
pearance, and possessing every quality
that commands attention and admiration,
he kept his audience in excellent spirits
From hearty laughter to almost breath
less silence, he led his hearers alternately
through humor and pathos, mirth and
solemnity, for an hour and half Those
who heard him are loud in his praise, and
should ne in the future appear in Wal
halla he will be greeted by much larger
audience.
