Letter to Mr.. @. j. Marott,
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.

Dear Sir: You know all about shoes. How
many customers have you who know any
thing about 'em?
You have bought and sold shoes for years,
and have learned what you know by your
customers liking one sort, and not liking
another. They find out by wearing 'em.
So with paint but go deeper. We are
AS years old in the business; and we make,
not buy-we make a good deal of paint
We paint good share of the railroad and
steamer property in the United States, and
may as well paint the private property.
Yours as we'll as anybody else's.
Devoe Ready Paint is your paint. Costs
half as much as lead and oil, because il
wears twice as long.
Yours truly,
+. w. DEVOE & co.

the Parisians responded when a slip of

into n cage holding six enormous lions

lilly Bebe, as the Juvenile lion tanner

all is told she is little more, having only
just celebra ted her seventeenth birth

face and small, slender figure she looks

most wonderful about the performance

fact that the tanning process has never
been that of intimidation, but one of
personal magnetism.
With n sudden and passionate convic-

1t is q most unusual occurrence for
the black bear of Maine to attack man.
but unusual conditions prevailed last
winter. Last summer the bears Jared
poorly, for the berry crop was almost a
complete failure, while the frosts came
on so early in the fall that all the vege-
tation on which bears manage to SUBJ
sist when other things are lacking was
killed. When winter arrived, bruin in
stead of crawling into a rocky cave or
hollow log for his usual four months
sleep was still hungry and, being hun

So it happens that the bears instead
of sucking their paws and snoring the
winter away in snug dens have been
cruising over the country.

LIVING WOMAN.
WALLED UP.
Terrible ReOenSe Planned BY a
RuEsian ASainSf HEr
ErrfnS Wife.

A singular story, which sounds more
like fiction than reality, comes from
Baku, Russia, to the effect that a stone
mason who was at work in one of the
main streets of the town was recently
kidnapped and compelled to wall up a
living woman.
The mason was seized by two men
who drove up in a rubber tired covered
carriage. his head was enveloped i'll a
sack, and he was driven away rapidly in
direction he was unable to indicate.
After lengthy drive. which was ac-
complished at good speed. the car
riage stopped, and the workman was
taken to an empty room in house APP
parently some distance from the town.
From large hole in the wall the terri
fed face of a woman looked out. and a
man in mask ordered the mason to
brick up the wall.
Seeing that a terrible crime was
about to be perpetrated. the man re-
fused, but on being threatened with a

game. JudSon was to give the signal
Then all three were to begin shooting,
for they knew Johnnie Keefer and
were certain that when the time for
action came there would be no talking.
After the first word about brace deal
ing was uttered things would begin to
happen mighty sudden. 1t was before
the days OF self cooking revolyers, but
trained shot by swapping the ham,
mer back with his thumb could get
about as Quick action as a man with
the most modern gun.
"For nearly an hour Judson stood at
one side looking on while his confeder-
ates played. The bank had been hit
pretty hard, but either Johnnie had
dealt straight or else even the men
who knew how he shifted the cards
were unable to feel certain he had
turned a trick. The ace and seven
were both cases, and the ace had won
three times in Il row, while the seven
had lost correspondipgly. When it
came time to call the turn, nearly
everybody at the table put down big
bet, calling the ace to lose and the
seven to win. Judson and his partners
exchanged glances. If the dealer was
going to shift the cards, it would
come just at this turn.
johnnie always pushed out the
cards pretty fast, especially near the
end of O deal, Just how the cards
would come out this time no one ever
knew. Johnnie had just begun push
ing off the exposed one when Judson
called out:
you're DEALING
Probably he meant to say brace
but the sentence was never finished.
At the first syllable Johnnie, apparent
ly without taking the time to look up,
sent his nand to his coat pocket. Three
or four shots rang out at the same in
slant. Then two more. and Johnnie
Keefer slipped to the floor. He had
four wounds, any one of which would
have been mortal. When we picked
him up. it was plain he had dealt his
last deal at either straight or brace
faro.
when Judson spoke his first words,
Johnnie had fired through his coat at
one of the men across the table who
was just drawing his gun. The shot
missed the mans heart. but by q de-
cidedly small margin. Before Johnnie
could fire again the bullets from the
others took effect Judson's first shot
going through his head just above the
right eye. These men had been pre-
pared, while the emergency came on
Johnnie without warning. If he had
had half a chance, he might have won
out even against such terrible odds.
"And when we came to look at the
faro box we couldn't tell whether
Johnnie meant TO deal crooked turn
or not. In the excitement the box had
got knocked off the table, saIfels-tfIe
cards fell or were knocked out. Per
haps Johnnie Keefer was on the point
of making an honest deal when the
end came"

took a trip down to Coney Island"

down there, and so left my watch at

it was three hours later, as L sat in a

found my slip of paper replaced by
one bearing the words, Look outside

bulge on the gang, but somehow 1
have always thought that they came

blandest expressions ever given a man.
A stranger would never have suspected
Johnnie of anything tougher than play
ing marbles and could have readily be-
Heved that he would have been shocked
at the idea of playing even that game
for keeps. Yet in the whole southwest
there probably wasn't a man who
could deal brace better, had faced
death oftener or had a more utter dis
regard for human life when in a cor
ner.
Where Johnnie came from no one
knew or cared, it not being etiquette in
those days to inquire into q mans
past" said an old western miner now
in New York a few days ago. HE
drifted into our camp in the boom
times and began dealing for Len Town
send. don't know whether Len knew
he was crooked. but it wasn't long be-
fore Johnnie was drawing the highest
wages Of any dealer in camp. After a
little he started up q bank of his own.
1t was q success from the first, and
Johnnie was making big money when
the ENHANCEMENT with the Mexican
girl that led to his death came.
1.-THE girl was one of the sort common
in camps of that day. Occasionally she
used to take turn at dealing bank in
one Of the halls for the purpose of
drawing trade, as she had all kinds of
good looks. Finally she tried dealing
on her own account, having saved up
quite little money. But she had a run
Of bad luck, and it was apparent her
bank roll was almost gone when John
ME came to the rescue.
"First he dealt a few times for her,
and every time the house won. Then
he made the mistake of his career He
showed her his trick of dealing brace
and put in all the time he could spare
from his own game in teaching her
how to make the shift. And that was
simply signing his own death warrant.
He had delivered himself over to an
unusually treacherous specimen of q
treacherouS class.
"Of course after a little while some
occasion for dispute arose between
them, and the girl, having the temper
Of q beautiful fiend, began to hate
Johnnie more than she liked him at
first. In the camp was a miner named
Judson, who had had two or three little
disagreements with Johnnie and in ad-
dition had gone broke trying to beat
Johnnie's bank. The Mexican girl sent
word for Judson to come to her place.
Then she explained to him Johnnie's
method of. dealing and showed him
box similar to the one Johnnie used
himself, box he had made for her.
Judson tipped off two or three other
men who had lost heavily at the game,
and they laid their trap to catch John
ME and put a permanent end to his
career as a brace dealer.
at was arranged that two of the men
should play and play high. while Jud-
son was to stand at one side behind the
lookout. as if he was watching the
