Letter TO Mr. B 0. Wood.
Monroe CITY, Mo.

Dear Sir: The annoyance
caused by short measure in
paints, that are sold by the
gallon" is worse than the
loss by the shortage. Misled
by the makers representations
as to how far gallon will go,
you buy too little of every sort,
and must send for more in the
midst of the work.
Besides, a short measure man
is, doubtless, also a cheater in
other ways; his paint is likely
to cover perhaps two thirds as
much as he says THIS also you
fiud out while the work is going
on, and the painting must wait
while you send for more.
Even this is not all, nor the
worst. 1t it wears half as long
as he says. you are lucky. You
bave the whole job to do again
IN year or two; and perhaps
your paint is not really good
for that short time. One law
of lying is that liars lie most
where it's hardest to catch 'em.
Another is that a liar lies
wherever he can.
Look out for short measure.
1t ncludes all the rest. Devoe
Ready Paint is full-measure

rose from IF the bush, then
paused and looked at him from
under her pink sunbunnet. He
held out large mellow pear.
She loved pears aud he knew it.
Smiling broadly she took it,
banding him the rose. and with
j sudden impulse she kissed him
and ran into :he house.
That was years ago, but they
both remembered it. He had
always brought her the best of

were grown it seemed matter
of course that they go about
:. every wherH together. He came
to her with his griefs, his joys,
ambitions aud hopes, and she
never with held her sympathy
or:.joy, whichever the case
might require.
This evening she went down
the path to meet him, her pink
dress touching the rose bushes
as she walked. He smiled Joy
ously;,a new light shoue in his
eyes and hers responded.
Il must tell you, Alice, he
said, taking her hand. Il can
not keep my love to myself any

some day, but when she tried
TO tell him how she loved him

her eyes spoke.

she's such lovely girl. l only
met her last month when l went
to see my old college chum,
Brown, but she has consented
to marry me soon. You will
love her. 1 know you will. I've
told her what a dear friend she
will have in you"
"Oh, yes, I'm sure she's love-
ly," Alice responed with an eff
fort and a little shiver.
"Row thoughtless I am" he
exclaimed. 1t has grown so
chilly that you are cold in that
thin dress. How pretty you
look in pink, Alice; but you
must 60 ip, and l must be off.
Good-by," and he held out his
hand. Il knew you would be
glad to hear Of my happiness
He was gone. Slowly she
walked back amid the flowers,

took off the pink dress and laid
it away for years.
