anderson, S. G.

Dear Sir: The cost OF labor In psiDting
n house ia three times the G,at o. tho
paint. You seem to save n little when
you buy ~ lower priced paint, but you
certainly add IL the cost OF le.bor wher
you pay for spreading more gallons.
You don't wen gave on tho paint.
Devoe Lead and Zine custs n little more
than mixed paints, but It TAX 90 fewer
galione, and the cost Ia actually less.
Wears longer too-lOnger than mixed
paints, longer than lead anu oil.
You don't ssv 1. cent.
Mr.. c. Loeb, a pninter in Magnolia,
Miss, writes:
After years of experiments with mixed
paints, I find that your paint covers more
surface to the gallon than any I ha1e
ever used. For density and wearing
| qualities 1t cannot be excelled.
Compared with lead aud oil A house
| belonging to the late Presidenl of the
| Croton River Bank, at Brewsters, N. ".
| (cost $3l, 000) was painted with lead and
| oil in 'S4 alta cost of $500. In 'S7-three
years-it was repainted with Devoe at a
cost of $3.50. In 'G7 the houae was atill al
right.
Results: lead aud oil-cost $500, weal
three years; D~svoe-cost $3.50, wear ter
years. XouIs truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.,

tree which still held some apples, he
reached the stock of the gun up to
knock some of them from the limb.
The trigger caught twig and the
gun was discharged, the charge of
shot dislodging three ribs and enter
ing the bowels. The young man
fingered in great agony until Mon
day evening at s o'clock, when he
passed away.

of age and leaves a wife and one lit.
tie child to mourn his untimely
death. Mrs. Mathews is daughter
of A. Vogel, the electrician.

Go to War.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 1O.-Japan is
all ready for war with Russia accord
ing to Charles V. Sale, a millionaire
business man, who has lived in YokOs
hama for the past twenty-three years.
He says the people generally in Japan
expect war and want it, but that the
government has succeeded in keeping
in check the more radical ones.
He says that Japan does not care
anything about Manchuria except to
protect its trade, but Russia must keep
it's paws off of Korea or get war. The
newspapers of Japan have entered an
agreement to print nothing about the
movements of either the navy or the
army and all strangers are closely
Swallowed to prevent Russia getting a
line on Japan's prepare tons.

ASSASSIN rs ABUNDANT
Armen ians Volunteer Freely, 1t lis Said, TO
Go on Deadly Missions to
Europe.

New York, Nov. 10.-Through letters
which have reached this country fur
ther details have come to light OF the
Armenian plots. 1t is said secret sery-
i've agents and the police of several
large cities are now at work and that
evidence in their hands involves a
prominent New England merchant and
also a resident of this city. Letters
bearing Oh the plot have just been re
ceived in this country from Sagatel
Sagouni, the first victim Of the asso-
citation in London. These letters Sa-
gouni had intercepted and mailed to
agents on this side of the Atlantic
before he fell.
The evidence they contain is supple
mented by a circular bearing the Off
cial seal of a secret society in Chlca-
go and signed by it's officers, which has
been secured in Salem, Mass, several
calls for volunteers to take up the
work of killing those opposed to the
society, who are denounced as cow
ards. 1t is said the distribution CT
similar circulars in Boston, Providence,
and New York resulted in the volun-
teering Of fifty men who were sent at
once to Europe on their deadly mis-
sion. They were given orders, it is
said, to act under the instructions of a
central committee in London.

A boy who is not allowed to be out
at night till nine o'clock until he is
eighteen and who is expected to in
form his mother where he goes in the
daytime when not at work or In school,
is not likely to get into bad company
and to form bad habits. A girl who
is taught to respect herself and keep
off the streets in the evening unless
accompanied by some older person,
will not bring sorrow to her family
or regrets to herself, regrets that the
most respectable and exemplary after
life can never entirely eradicate
