LETTER TO A. NJ. CLARKE.
SOUTHERN PINES, N. c.

Dear Sir The cheapest thing in the
way OF sending anything over the
world is -postage stamp; and the
cheapest way to shed water is paint.
Not wh,tewash; paint. Do you
happen to know-it don t belong to
your business to know about paint,
you know-do you happen to know
that most of the makers of paint stuff
it out with lime and clay and sand
and water and air
They do stuff it out in the can but
not on the house. They make nj IRE
gallons to sell or to buy; more money
to pay for paint; more money to pay
for putting it on; but no more beauty;
more rust; decay disappointment;
loss.
Devoe is your paint, because it's all
paint, no sham, and full-measure.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvOE & Co.

birth occurs February %, an occasion
that is ever freshly remembered by
American hearts. "He was the first
man Of the time in which he grew"
wrote Rufus Choatc. His memory Is
first and rost sacred In u love; and
ever. hereafter, til the last drop of
blood shal' freeze in the last American
heart, his name. shall be a spell of power
and might. There is one personal, n
vast, ~felicit" which no man can share
with him. It was the daily beauty and
towering n matches glory Of his life
which enabled him to create his coun-
try. and at the same time secure an UNI
dying love and regard from the whole
American people. Undoubtedly there
were brave and wise and good men be-
fore his day in every colony. But the
American nation, as "A nation, | do not
reckon to have begun before 1774, and
the first love of that young America
was Washington. The first word she
ligped was his name. Her earliest
breath spoke It. Il is still her proud
ejaculation. 1t will be the last gasp
Of her expiring life. About and around
him we call up no dissentient, discord-
ant and dissatisfied elements. no sec
tional prejudice or bias, no party. no
creed. no dogma OF politics. None Of
these shall assail him. Yes. when the

love of country which his words have
commended, which his example has
consoCrated.'
The story Of George Washington's
life is an old one, but the salient facts
will bear repeating. He was born at
Wakefield, WestmorCland county, Va,
February 90. 1892. lived from 1875 to
1899 at what is now Mount Vernon, and
when he was seven years old he was
taken to IN estate on the Rappahannock,
almost opposite Fredericksburg. The
father was n Of the prosperous plant
ers of Virginia, able to give his children
what education the times could afford.
The first teacher of George Is reputed to
have been a convict. whom his father
bought for the purpose. All of Washing
tons schooling ended before he was l6.
His long and brilliant career as a sol
der and statesman has given to history
some of its most interesting pages.

Last Nighttime Clue AS
to Identity.

Scantily dressed in white clothes with
a note pinned to its dress, quietly nurs-

dark hair, was what Mrs. Charles j..

night, at No. 10 Ninth street, when she

Who left the little four months old
baby could be found and nothing that
would disclose the identity of the child
has yet been obtained
Upon a piece Of ordinary brown
wrapping paper was the following
note written in a very legible hand:
when You look into my large bright
eyes, you won't refuse me from your
welcome home This is my gift from
God for the one | recently called from
you. II you cast him aside l Will call
every boy you have away from you.
(SigneD THE LORD"
Although much taken back by sur
prise Mrs. Carlson picked up the lit
tie fellow and took him into the house
and then notified the police. AS they
had no place to care for the infant and
knowing of no better hands in which
to leave it for the night. they induced
Mrs. Carlson to keep it until the matter
of it's disposition could be taken up by
the county authorities.

there. He touched it and felt a bottle

wrapped in a couple of gunny sacks.
There have been lots and lots of
people here today who wanted to
adopt it. One was farmer who lives
near the city who is worth lots of
money and wants very much to have
the child
The CarlsOns would like to adopt the
little fellow themselves but still feel
that he would hardly take the place of
the bright little chap who filled such a
large place in their hearts and whom
they lost two months ago. The only
clue to the parents of the child was a
handkerchief with three initials on.
The police are trying to find out some
thing from it.
