Letter to Robert Bum.
Henderson, Y. {

DEAR SIR:-The cost of labor in paint
ing a house is three times the cost of the
paint. You seem to save a little when
you buy a lower priced paint, but you
certainly add to the cost of labor when
you pay for spreading more gallons.
You don't even save on the paint.
Devoe Lead and Zinc costs little more
than mixed paints, but it takes fewer
gallons and the cost is actually less.
Wears longer too-longer than mixed
paints, longer than lead and oil
You don't save cent.
Mr.. c. Loeb, a painter in Magnolia,
Miss, writes:
After years of experiments with mixed
paints. l find that your paint covers more
surface to the gallon than any | have ever
used. For density and wearing qualities it
cannot be exeelled-
Compared with lead and oil: A house
belonging to the late President of the
Croton River Bank, at Brewster s. \. y,
(cost S31 .0OO was painted with lead
and oil in "a at a cost of $500. In 81
three years-it was reprinted with De
voc at a cost of 1850. In 81 the house
was still all right.
Results: lead and Oil-cost 800. veal

Biq Smoke but Little Fire.

An alarm of fire Tuesday morn
ing occasiOned considerable excite
ment until the nature of it was as
certained. The report up town was
that the house of Rev. j. S. Williams,
on James street, was on fire and from
the dense volume OF smoke it looked
rs il the fire companies could not
reach the scene in time to save it..
But it turned out to be the wood shed
of Mrs Maria Harris, next door. The
timely arrival of the fire companies
prevented a further confagration
and the damage done was slight in
comparison to what it might have
been Cause of the fire unknown.

KEEP BEFORE THE PUBLIC.
Established Reputation to Pull
Trade.
East Dubuque CHI Register.

East dubuque tlh.) Register
The prospective buyer likes to go
where bargains are offered, and to
find them he scans the advertising
columns Of the local newspaper. He
recognizes the fact that there is no
sentiment in business, and according
ly, when he finds no inducements Of
fered by one merchant he goes to his
competitor who advertises the adj
vantages to be derived from trading
at his store. Heknows the man who
advertises is anxious for his trade,
that he does not seek it on the score
of friendship, but as a pure business
proposition which will save him
money. This alone is sufficient an
swer to the arguments advanced to
those merchants who give as a reason
for not advertising that they are so
we'll known, having been in business
so long that business is unnecessary.
In other words, antiquity and old
established reputation for honest
business methods without advertis-
ing are insuperable barriers against
the inroads of the modern house
which advertises it's goods and prices
and also by honest business dealing
lives up to advertising promises as
regards quality and prices. The bene-
fits derived from advertising refute
this argument and indicate unmis-
takably the sentiment of the public,
with whom it is not a question how
long a certain merchant has been in
business, but the quality and prices
OF his wares. So, too, with the news
paper-it is not the man, but his
goods and prices that are sought to
be advertised. Wanamaker is one of
the pioneer merchants of the coun-
try, yet his annual advertising ex-
pense reaches the million mark, and
he is only a type OF the progressive
merchant.

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They ciire
biliousness, jaundice, constipation and
inactive livers, by arousing the secre-
tions, moving the bowels gently, yet ef-
fectually, and giving such tone and
strength TO the glands of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These ia
nous little pills exert decided tonic eff
feet upon the organs involved, and if
their use is continued for few days
there will be no return of the trouble

THE SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Four New Cases Developed But All of
Mild Type the Patients Having
Been Previously Vaccinated.

Four new cases Of smallpox have
developed since the case reported last
week. Four of these are at the pest
house. including the original patient,
and the other is at her home, out
side of town. All colored. The three
new cases at the pest house belong
to the family of the negro man who
was first discovered to have the dis
ease. AS reported in the GOLD LEAF
last week as soon as the case came
to the notice OF the health officials
the patient was taken to the pest
house as were all the other members
of the household They were isolated
Of course, that is, the sick man and
the well ones were placed in separate
apartments, but three Of them have
broken out with the disease.
The other case is that of the negro
woman who washed for the three
white families in town who were
quarantined, as stated last week. 1t
has been thought best to let her re-
main at home, the case being outside
Of town, and treat it there. All
necessary precautions are being
taken to prevent a spread OF the
disease.
When the first ease was discovered
all those who had been exposed were
Immediately vaccinated. In each
case the vaccination proved success
full and it is a fight between the effects
Of vaccination and the smallpox.
The disease has developed i'll a mild
form and it is not believed that it
will amount to much The first pa
tient is getting. along very well and
III a week or ten days he will be well,
the physicians say.
In the meantime vaccination is in
Order-and should be done at once

Index to the Business of the Town.

Says an exchange: "a newspapers
advertising columns are accepted
everywhere by the outside business
and professional world as an index
to the business status of the town in
which the paper is published as we'll
as of the hustle and enterprise of it's
merchants.
THE modern merchant regards his
advertising bill as a legitimate ele-
ment OF his expense, just as necessary
as the expense of clerk hire, light, etc,
and does not, as the nonadvertlser
claims, make you pay more for his
goods on that account. He depends
for his remuneration on large sales
and small profits, thus turning his
goods into money several times and
Keeping his stock always new, fresh
and up-to-date, while the nonadver-
tiser depends Oh small sales and large
profits and is invariably a chronic
complamer about the citizens going
elsewhere to trade

DON'T BE A KICKER.
Saw q Good Word for Your Town and
Neighb0r and Do a Little Hustling
Yourself.
Elizabethtown (Ky.) News.

Don't be a kicker. Don't grunt,
don't growl, don't grumble. If your
neighbor is prosperous, let him pros
per. Don't envy him, don't be spite
full. Speak a good word for him and
let it go at that. If you see the town
is moving along feel good about it
and try to make it move faster.
Take hold and push or pull. Don't
get in the way and block up things.
Try to get some of the benefit your
self Don't stand around belittling
the efforts OF others and waste your
time feeling sore because some fellow
has more sense and success than you
have. Do a little hustling yourself
and if you can say a good word for
your town or its people say it like a
prince. If you are full OF bile and
disposed to say something mean put
a paddock on your mouth and keep
it there until you can get a hypoder
mic injection of the milk of human
kindness. Don't be kicker. No
man ever made a dollar kicking but
a professional football player. No
man ever got rich minding every
body's business but his own. oman
ever helped himself up permanently
by kicking his neighbor down. Give
Others kind word and give it liber-
ally and gracefully. 1t won't cost
you a penny, and remember, you
may want a good word yourself some
day. You may have thousands
today and tomorrow be without the
price of a shave. Don't be kicker.
1t doesn't pay. You can't afford it.
There is nothing in it. If you want
to throw something at somebody,
throw cologne and don't throw mud
and brickbats. If you must kick go
out behind the house and kick your
self, for if you feel that way you are
the man that needs kicking. What
ever you do don't allow yourself to
become il chronic kicker: Don't even
have an acute attack. Let everybody
push together and we'll all be better
and happier and live longer. Don't
be a kicker.

Fashions Murderous Race.

On Sunday morning 314 chaffeurs,
representing nearly every nation of the
earth, started from Versailles in as
many automobiles to see which could
win the race to Madrid, a distance of
S12 miles. The first stage of the con-
test was to be from Versailles to Bor-
deaux, 343 miles; the second, Bordeaux
to vitoria, 2Os miles, and the third,
yitoria to Madrid, 261 miles-a total
of S12 miles. The start was made be-
fore daylight on Sunday morning, and
they began to arrive in Bordeaux in
about eight and half hours after

GEN. WHEELER AND THE PARADE

From the New Orleans Picayune.
1t was an unfortunate accident. but
wholly an accident, that omitted General
Wheeler from the confederate parade.
The general Is In high favor in New Or
leans, fact that has been repeatedly de-
monstrated by the unfailng hospitality
and affectionate attention always bestow-
ed upon him.
No people In this great country are more
patriotic or more devoted to the well
fare and the protection of the American
Union than are the people of New Orleans
confederates particularly They sent
many of their sons to the Spanish war,
and they yield to none in admiration for
its heroes. There is no other difference
than age between the confederate vete-
rams and their sons on the subject OF de-
votion to the Union.
Doubtless it was because General Wheel
er had no official place in the programme
of the grand parade that he was not pro-
vided for and he was for moment over
looked In the hurry and confusion of pre-
paration for the pageant. The general Is
fully assured of the high regard in which
he is held In New Orleans. and he knows
well that only an accident left him out of

cries that went to make a Roman holl-
day, for II the race had been carried
out according to programme, the killed
and wounded would almost have
equalled the number that fell at San
tiago, and they would have vastly ex-
ceeded our naval losses in that war.
When 90-horsepower machines of inn
mense weight are speeded at the aver
age rate of nearly sixty miles an hour,
accidents must of course happen, and
the entire idiotic attempt at display did
result in the death of ten persons and
the wounding of eight more. Either
France or the automobiles should in
all conscience pay good round sums for
these wrongs to persons.
The Spanish government, to its
credit be it said, refused to permit any
stream of slaughter in Fashions name
In it's country, and 1t will be many
day before another race of like nature
is attempted. The next race should
be run In the Sahara desert, SO chat
the accidents and fatalities will be
confined to the persons conducting it.
It would be better still If they could
be limited to the men who own and
control sick murderous traps

NEW YORK AND LONDON.

From the Cleveland Leader.
1t is altogether likely that New York
will pass the 100000 limit before 1906, and
it may easily reach 100000 in 1910. That
would make the American metropolis
stand close to London. as the greatest
city of the world is bounded for British
statistical purposes. But If London meas
ured as nearly up to its real extent in
territory as New York is the metropolis
900, and by 1910 it will probably reach g.
100000 The utmost size which can fairly
be calculated for London Is about 100000
now, with a certainty of reaching 1900
900 by the end of the decade, but 1t is not
fair to include the entire metropolitan dis
trict In one case since it is not done in the
official statistics of New York for the lat
ter city has many New Jersey suburbs
which are really part of the same great
urban mass, and they contain three-quar-
tiers of a million people, at least. The larg-
est two cities of the world are two of the
greatest wonders of the age Their growth
Is we'll worth watching carefully, for it
involves and emphasizes some of the deep
est and hardest problems of the times.
Where is the limit of size to be reached?
What will be the physical, moral and in
dustrial state of cities when one will have
ten million people In single huge mass
of building and business? These are ques-
lions of prodigious Importance now and
for the future.
