Butler, Mo.

Dear Sir: Your business is, when a
house burns down, to give the owner
some money to build new one. 1t
is a good business. Queer that the
world got on so long without it.
We paint thu one that burnt down
and the new one too. What is bet
ter, we paint the houses that don't
burn down.
You insure the house that burn;
we insure the houses that don't.
You have the ashes and smoke; all
the houses are ours.
We paint lead and-zihc; Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters; we don't
paint.
Lead-and-oil is the old fashion
paint. Devoe is zinc ground In with
lead and linseed oil; the best paint in
the world; and the cheapest, because
it takes fewer gallons than mixed
paints and it wears twice as long as
lead.and-oil. Nobody wants poor
paint; there's lots Of it, though, in
the world.
AN. Griffin, Plainfeld, N. j. writes:
"Mr. Aaron Higgins, ofPlainsfeld,
always used Is gallons OF mixed
paint for his house. Last spring be
bought Is gallons oi-Devoe and had
4 gallons left"
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE & Co.,
New York and Chicago.

ANCIENT CITIES.

Jerusalem in the days Of Solomon
pEobably did not contain 10000 people.
Constantinople at the time Of its
greatest splendor as capital Of the east
ern empire had q population Of about
100000.
Babylon. whose name has come to be
anonymous with dense population,
never had over 1,2OO, 900 inhabitants in
its palmiest days. 30 the arch@ologists
declare.
Athens. when she led the Greek
states in repelling the invasion Of
Xerxes, had only $4,000 Inhabitants,
but Herodotus speaks Of this number
as II 1t was something to boast of.
Rome, the mistress of the world, the
great city to which all roads led, "Rome
the Eternal did not exceed 100000
in population. Gibbon, indeed, believes
that it had only 100000, and in this
estimate he and Milman agree.

ORIENTAL LANTERNS.

0osv They Are made and Uses -
Which They Are Pat.
The lantern of the east Is a. old a.
civilization. Its primary object is to
protect the flame from sudden drafts.
Beyond this IL the concentration Of
light for the convenience of q reader
and, last and least. the regard for beau
t.. The Oldest form Is perforated
cylinder or rectangular box. OF this
type there are numberless varieties. old
and new. The ancient ones which have
been preserved are of iron, copper and
brass, nearly all simple in construction
and finish, out few richly decorated.
Occasionally one runs across lanterns
made of silver or ivory. These come
from palaces or temples and in most
instances are richly carved. Not in
frequently the perforations are. fitted
with pieces of colored glass. rock crys-
tai, amethyst and garnet.
In China and Japan the travellers or
street lantern is feature This is a
sphere or ellipsoid ranging from six
inches to two and even three feet in
diameter, made Of oiled paper. cloth or
silk. In Cathay this lanternsis used to
show the rank of Its owner by the col
oring or INSCRIPTIONS on its exterior.

It is in house lanterns that the great
est variety is found. OF these the gen
eral type is four. five, six, seven.

usually twice its width. Each side is

or decorated. From the angles hang
pendants Of many sorts. The frame

rosewood, mahogany and other woods
are employed. Often the sides Of the
lanterns are alternately wood and
glass. the latter being covered with
ground designs and the former richly
carved in relief or inset with ivory.
mother-of-pearl or silver.
Upon the pendants the artincers put
their hardest work. Some are made Of
colored beads, strung and massed with
fantastic shapes and knots. Others
are strings Of little bells. which ring
with every passing breeze. Lines Of
glittering tinted glass balls betray the
origin Of q favorite mode Of decorating
Christmas trees. Quaint objects in

nected BY threads. chains or wires, con-

Trans-Mississippi Congress

The fifteenth session of the
Trans Mississippi Congress will
be held at St. Louis October 25th
to 29th, and it is expected that
there will be about 1000 dele
gates present. Each state is en-
titled to ten delegates, each coun-
ty one, every business organiza-
tion one. The work of this body
is to agitate for legislation and
commercial relations which will
advance the interests of the west
ern states. 1t covers many sub
jects, including irrigation forestry,
ranges, Improvement of rivers
and harbors, reciprocity, the con-
of the Panama canal
and whatever will aid the West.
President Diaz of Mexico will be
there, as will also many other dis
tingulshed statesmen. Frank
Hagenbarth of Dubois, Idaho will
fill place on the program, and
will discuss matters of interest to
stockmen.

other sections are, and that Sen
ator Dubois and his followers are
making their arguments on care
fully selected points and avoiding
all that might and does refute it.
He called attention to the fact
that Mr.. Dubois has received
about $135,0G0 in salaries for
representing Idaho in legislative
bodies, and now he is telling the
people that they have no laws to
protect the purity of the home
and that for this reason they must
rise to the occasion and follow
his leadership. He asked why
Dubois has been silent about this
thing SO long and why he was
marshaling his forces all night
long at the state Democratic con
vention to reconsider the plat
form and strike out the word
"adultery' in that famous reform
plank of his, when that is the on
ly sexual crime that needs legis-
lation, since it is the only one that
has no statutory provisions for in
the state.

National Irrigation Congress

The twelfth National Irrigation
congress will meet at Ell Paso,
Texas, November 18th to 18th
inclusive. The governors of
states each appoint 20 delegates,
each county appoints three, and
various other organizations, such
as cities, canal companies, stock
companies and manufacturing es-
Establishments are entitled to send
delegates, but only twenty from
each state can vote in the meet
ing. 1t has no legislative powers,
is simply for education and agita-
tion. The passage of the national
irrigation law was due to some ex.
tent to the educational work done
by this body, sending out liter
ature and reports on the advan-
tages to the whole country which
would accrue from carrying out
their work which is represented
by the four notices: "Save the
Forests" "Store the Floods
s:Reclaim the Deserts, "Build
Homes.

MRS. WHITES MISSION

So Mrs. w. r. White, o.
Philadelphia, has been sent out by
Miss Helen Gould of New York
to tell the women of Idaho how
to maintain their honor and keep
pure and, incidentally, talk Du-
boisism.
Do these eastern ladies think
they are any better mothers, wives
and daughters than those of
Idaho? Do they imagine that the
virtue of womanhood is confined
to the states of New York and
Pennsylvania!
The women of Idaho enjoy the
right of frnchlse, and, with all
due Difference to these estimable
ladies from abroad, our women
are perfectly competent to eXer-
else it, and they have this advan-
tage over their eastern sisters:
they have been enabled to think
on political questions and form
estimates of conditions and need
no instructions from those, who,
from necessity must know less
than they concerning public and
political matters.
Least of all do they need moral
instruction. If we do inhabit the
"wild and woolly vest" We will
place the reputation and character
OF our women against those of any
state in the Union for compari-
son. We do not have to be
taught the fundamental principles
of social purity, for Christ taught
that 1900 years ago and He is
quite as potent in Idaho today as
in New York.
So did Paul of Tarsus and St.
j John. who on the isle of Patmos
inspired and dreaming brought
forth the truest ideals the world |
has ever known.
If the cIamorous sisters of other
states who, of necessity, can know
nothing of present conditions, will
kindly let the Idaho woman alone,
in the slow evolution of time she
will see that the ''purity of the
American home' is maintained
within its borders without seeking
Instructions from any source on
questions of social purity save
hat of the great God Himself.
The men of Idaho are proud of
heir mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters, and place implicit con-
idence in them. That is why
hey were granted the privilege
If the ballot and are today equal
before the law in every respect.
Does Mrs. White. however well
n eaningher motive, think for an
Instant that she can teach our
women how to vote!
Better far that she take few
essons herself, and, silently
'iewlng the effects of equal suf-
rage here, carry back to her (
astern sisters new ideas cleaned
