Letter to harkness & Friend.
Oskaloosa, Iowa.

Dear Sirs: Suppose you are going
to paint house, and ask all the
painters there are within reach to
bid on it-you to- furnish materials,
they to say what to use, and charge
for time and the know-how.
How many will pss the same paint?
They, generally, will compound their
own paints.
There will be no two alike. And
this is the end Of the notion that
painters know how to- make paint.
They know how to- put paint on;
and that is their business
They ought TO know what to buy.
How many of"them Know what to
buy?
A blacksmith" buys gRils, because
better shoes aHd'nails' than he can
make are made for lees. than he can
make them fcr-bY machinery.
Wagon-makers buy wlseels, because
better wheels than tAsy can make
are %@de for less thar they can make
UhOhI IVA -"'">- ,.. l.
Why should painS; , =;
own paint, when he Co. aA .Itel
for less? We take the risk cfhcw il
turns out, besides. DeVoe Ready
Paint is the paint: lasts twiCe .as Ihne
as the average painters pa.nt-@&ac
and oil.
Yours truly,

BUSINESS CHANGE.
August Link Sells His Market to w
Fitzpatrick.

August Link has sold his meat mar
ket to w. Fitzpatrick, of Chicago, who
took possession to-day. Mr.. Link
came to this city in 1889 and has been
in the meat business ever since. AT,
ter being in two or three different
partnerships he opened up a place
for. himself and has conducted the
shop on West High avenue for the
past six years. Starting with almost
nothing, he has built up one Of toe
largest trades in the meat business in
4 the city. His genial and accommodate.
ing manner h2s made him hosts Of
friends who were always glad to trade
with him, and who will regret his go
ing cut of the business. He is unde'
cided at present as to what he will dc
in the future, but for the next six
months he will take a vacation and
rest up, as he is in rather poor health
Then if he finds promising opening
he may enter some work which is not
so taxing as the meat business.
9Ir. Fitzpatrick, who has taken III
the business of Mr.. Link, has large
experience in the work, having beer
in the business in Chicago for twenty
years. Those who have been trading
with Mr.. Link will doubtless continue
their patronage with him.

A SkfllfuRl Adv ertfseP.

Many years ago Sir Thomas Upton
was a passenger OH an East Indian
steamer bound for Ceylon. While in
the Red sea the boat was disabled, and
1t became necessary to throw over
board a part of her cargo. Upton was
an interested spectator of the prepara-
tions for tightening the ship. Suddenly
he bolted the scene and by. a twenty
dollar dicker with the chief engineer
secured a paint brush and pot Of
black paint. Then, to the astonish-
ment of the captain and passengers, he
cheerfully labeled each box and bale
thrown overheard Use Lipton's Teas"
The cargo, of course, fOated ashore,
and for miles in Araby and other lands
the natives saw that legend. Subse-
quently the passengers on the injured
steamer were compelled to abandon it
and take to small boats. On reaching
land Sil Thomas was the first to make
a cable Office and wire the destruction
of the boat and safety of the travellers
to London. The message was signed
"Lipton" OF course his name was in
every English newspaper the next
morning. signed to that message, and
he was the best advertised man in the
Kingdom

UnaDnreciated.

The shrewdness of one of the found
ers of famous estate in Maine gave
rise to many amusing stories, one of
which has recently been retold.
One day the man, who was large
lumber operator, was experimenting q
crew which was breaking up log jam
in the river Suddenly the spruce on
which he was standing slipped. The
lumberman dropped out of sight in the
water, and the logs closed over him.
The nearest Frenchman saw the ac-
cident. Hopping briskly over the slip
perry logs, he helped the "boss" to land.
Nothing was said about the accident.
After an hour or SO the Frenchman be-
gan to get anxious because the reward
which he considered due was not forth
coming. He approached the lumber
man and, pulling clumsily at his cap,
stammered:
81 see you fall i'll, III 'sieur, an l run
queek to pull you out fore you drown
ed.'
"Prob'ly."- snapped tie lumberman-
'prob'ly if you'd been tending to busi-
ness as you'd oughter you wouldn't
have seen me fall in!'

The Early Maine Schools.

The first schools in some Maine towns
have been attended with romantic cir

ford, for want of a better place i'll
which to fertiliZe the young idea, was
held ''in the loft over Captain Ben
nett's open she'd" In Dexter the first
gathering of urchins for instruction
was in Lieutenant Stafford's barn."
In Corinth the first school was held in
the open air under large tree. .
The first schoolroom in Exeter was
perhaps as unique as any. Crotched
poles were set in the ground back of
Mr.. Barker's barn and on these other
poles were laid, while around the sides
loose boards were set up on end to in
close the space where the school was
held. Scholars of the present day

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from tic spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

Is Oe@DO'U OPTtttyo, OOTGt.
Dear Sir: Here's what "fewer gal
Ions" means
Mr.. n. Avery of Delhi, N. Y, owns
two houses exactly alike. Hs painted
one with mixed paint-took twelve gal
Ions. Painted the other with Devoe--
bought twelve gallons and had six gal
Ions left. Same painter George Gilbert.
The secret is: Devoe Lead and Zinc Is
one hundred per cent. paint; the mixed
paint was about fifty per cent. paint and
fifty per cent. adulteration.
Here is an analysis of mixed paint
sold In your neighborhood:
Lead, zinc and color Al per cent.
Lime and China clay SO
You see SO per cent. is adulteration.
What is It for2
To fill the can; to take unfair advan-
tage of your very natural and right desire
to make your house painting cost as little
as possible.
The cheap paint is Devoe Lead and
Zinc, because 1t is all paint-no expense
for anything else-and 1t does not waste
your money. Yours truly,
