Letter to Kirk Jones.
D-tlar Do

Dear Sir: Here's and interesting story
about paint. We give you the name of
the story-teller; write him and find out
all about it.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, of Girard,
Penn, painted his house with Devoe
Lead and Zinc paint. He thought it
expensive, but he bought it. After
finishing the job, he brought back near
ly half the paint and said it was the
cheapest job of painting he ever did.
Write to Mr.. Burt Young and Mr.. E.
H. Hiler of the same place Also TO Mr..
FL. Ell. Stephenson, Cashier of Oil City
pa Savings Bank
1t is the cheapest paint in the world
because it is all paint. 1t covers most
surface to the gallon, and it wears long
est.
There is going TO be lot of this paint
used in Butler. When it gets a foot
hold. it never lets up; and the painter
who uses Deyoe Lead and Zinc is going
to save money for his patrons.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & Co,
l13 New York.

STOLEN LETTER POUCHES.
Two Pouches of Mail Stolen From
the Office of the Signal Tower
at Springfield Junction., Ill.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 12.-At 1890
O'Clock Saturday morning word was
received at the post office that two
more letter pounches had been stolen
from Springfield Junction, just south
OF this city at the junction of the Chi
cago & Alton and Wabash railroads.
This is the second theft of this char
acter which has taken place at the
junction within three weeks, two
pouches having been stolen on the
night of March 13 and rified of their
contents, and the post office authori-
ties have as yet been unable to OBJ
tain any clew to the thieves. As in
the former case, the pouches were
thrown from the e%ast-bound Wabash
train at ten o'clock Friday night to
be placed on the Chicago G. Alton
train which goes north at 1918
o'clock. When the Alton train arrived
it was found that two of the pouches
were missing.
Towerman Mitchell Driscoll, who,
on the occasion of the first robbery,
left the pouches out on the platform
between trains, instead 'of locking
them up in the office, as was his duty,
locked the pouches up in the office,
but the robbers broke the bars and
windows and effected an entrance.
Driscoll, who was in the tower SO feet
above, did not hear them.
