that he had a pair of arms on him-he

go over and supply the need They gave
Jim a big yelp and sloped for Pocatello
after breakfast the next morning. OF
course they were all pretty middling
drunk i'm Pocatello by sundown that
evening
Jim and 1 started for town in the
blackboard later on in the morning, and
got there along toward o'clock at night.
We found all of the boys and a lot
from other outfits in Clad Kingsley's
Gold Dollar honkatonk. They were dane
ing drummer for an eastern notion
house who hadn't had the sense to stay
at the hotel after getting off the west
bound train.
Clad was beefing a whole lot about
the holes they were boring i'm his floor,
around the drummer's heels, with their
bullets, but they didn't mind Clad. Fin
ally they perched the drummer up on a
high shelf in the back of the honkatonk
and told him to stay there until duly no.
titled to come down, on pain of being
hamstrung.
Then they all went of and played
bank for the rest of the night, and forgot
all about the drummer. He kept his un-
comfortable perch for about four hours
and then he jumped down, ran like a
stampeded jack rabbit to the hotel and
locked himself in his room. Jim and l
could see that the boys were going to be
In pretty good shape to receive the pink
boy from Chicago when he got in.
THE next morning the boys had oiled
up their tOnsils and done the best they
could with breakfast and were standing
around the station, letting the Indian
summer sun trickle on them when Over
land No. was due. Jim and l were
standing talking with the station agent
when she rumbled in.
THE train was made up mostly of
Pullman palace cars and tourist sleepers,
but it was cut in two in the middle by
day coach smoker. 1t was out of this
day smoker that our pink boy came. We
heard him yip-yopping for a full minute
before he reached the door. Before he
did appear at the door of the car the con-
ductor stepped down and said seriously
to Jim and me and the station agent:
You want to look out for that darned
Ombrey of cOwpuncher that's gettin' off
here-that's him, roaring i'm there
now. He's from some Wyoming outfit
back near Rawlins, and he's sure been

climbed aboard. Shot half the windows

half an hour Better have the boys stow
him away somewhere to rest up
1.-The blOodcurdling yell had been going
on in the day smoker all the time the
was talking to us, but Jim and
l had no idea yet who was making the
noise-we expected to see some son of a
gun from Snake river lurch out of the
car onto the platform.
You could have come pretty near
buying both Jim and me for a nickel's
worth of borax in a busted bag when the
yeller appeared at the car door. He
was our towhead from Chicago.

Dear Sir: Yousell good goods and
give full measure. It's a pleasant
way of doing and it pays, besides.
We do it for the same reason, and
it has made us the foremost paint
house in the United States.
Short weight and authorizations are
the vices of business. They are ma
tural response to the demand for
cheapness. The world is full of them
the grocery world and the paint
world, and every KiDd of world.
You know and we know that it
doesn't pay. People change their
grocer or paint man as soon as they
find it out.
We don't know about groceries
you tell your people about them-the
measure and unadulterated paint
is Devoe Lead and Zinc.
Fewer gallons-takes less Devoe
Lead and Zinc than of mixed paints
to paint house. Wears longer
twice as long as lead and oil mixed
by hand.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE 4 Co,
New York.

Death Of Joseph C. NOyes.

Mr.. Joseph c. Noyes, who died in
Morrisville August 18th, belonged to
that family of "Noyes," who for more
than a hundred years have by their
own name and through marriage en-
tered largely into the family-life of
Morrisville and Hyde Park. He was
the oldest son of Joseph c. Noyes of
Hyde Park, who for many years did
business in what used to be called
Hyde Park "Street." Joseph Moves
was born in Morrisville March r.,
1921. His next younger brother,
Horatio N. died in Cleveland, Ohio,
in Dec, 1901, and was brought to his
native town for burial. Charles R.
Page, father of Mrs. Clarence A.
Knight of Hyde Park, who died also
in Cleveland the year previous, was
half brother to him. William Peaslee
Sawyer, the only remaining brother,
is still living in Cleveland, whittier he
went with the one spoken of above
nearly fifty years ago, where for more
than forty years they were associated
in business under the name of "Noyes
& Brother" Both of them were
members of the Chamber of Com
merce and had their share in the
development of the city's prosperity.
Although born in Morrisville and
living there for the larger part of his
lite, Mr.. Noyes at one time was clerk
in Burlington and was also a resident
of Hyde Park and for time was
associated with the late Russell ). Page

Mr.. Noyes' active business life in
Morrisville extended over a period of
between 40 and SO years. During
this time he was for one term post.
master, keeping the office in the
Brick" house on the Corner, where
he was born, afterwards in the hard
ware and tin trade. His member
ship in the Masonic order began
when he was young man.
Mr.. Noyes was first married to
Maria Antoinette, daughter of Calvin
Brunette of Morrisville, whose death
occurred after nearly five years of
welded life. Later he married Abbie
NJ, daughter Of Samuel and Hannah
Merriam, for many years resident of
Johnson and Waterbury. Their mar.
ried life covered period of forty.two
years and Mr. Moves death occurred
on the very anniversary of her death,
six years since. Five children we're
given to them during this period
Two of them Charles and Clark lived
to be 4 and years old. Of the other
three, Joseph died in 1890 at the
age %; Will, in Arizona, where he had
gone from CleI Gland for his health,
in 1898 at the age of Sc; and Mary,

of his first marriage. Mrs. Hardy
with her husband has been with him
most of the time since the last of
July, and was with him at the time of
his death. Mr.. Noyes has been in
infrm health for several years and
had required the watch and care
which only devoted love and patient
service could render, and the meas
ureS in which they were bestowed
were ever equal to the need. He
was borne to his last resting place in

the very spot where he was born

REPAIRS TO THE BROOKLYN.
She Will Be Admiral Crowninshield's
Flagship.

Peremptory orders have been issued by
the Navy Department to the construction
department of the New York navy yard to
have the cruiser Brooklyn ready for sea
service by the LIST Of June next at the latest
There have been several surveys on the
vessel as a result of her grounding on an
uncharted rock near Newport during the
joint army and navy maneuvers last sum
mer. nearly all of which called for the ex-
penditure of a great deal more money than
the department cared to devote to that
purpose. These surveys contemplated q
general overhauling Of the vessel In addi-
ton to such repairs as might be needed to
put her into condition for ordinary service
The amount estimated by the last board Of
survey as necessary for the rehabilitation
of the vessel was $4,000.
The department has now disapproved all
these recommendations as excessive under
the circumstances, and has authorized only
such expenditures as may be actually
necessary to put her In condition for sea
by the 1st Of June.
Although lot officially admitted. 1t is be-
lieved that the Brooklyn is to be sent to
Europe for sesvice as the flagship OF Rear
Admiral Crowninsiiield to take the place Of
the cruiser Chicago, which is an older and
smaller vessel The battle ship Illinois,
which was first assigned to Rear Admiral
Crowninshield as his flagship. has been at
tached to the battle ship squadron of the
North Atlantic station, and the admiral
was compelled to transfer his flag to the
next best vessel Of his feet. which hap
pened to be the reconstructed Chicago OF
the original steel navy 1t Is said he does
not regard that vessel as Commensurate Q
with the dignity as squadron commander,
and that the department has concluded to
let him have instead the more modern
cruiser Brooklyn. which was the 1ngship
Of Rear Admiral Schlsy during the spanish
war.
