old, but she would not give in
too quickly.

you," he pleaded. We've been
as good as engaged long time
now. Can't you forgive me.

Il don't think it nice to go
back on Pyreta just because
she wasn't success tonight, y
said Miss Gaunt unkiudly.
I'm not that kind" he pro-
tested warmly. 1T was before
she recited that l got tired.
She was so finical about the
way things were to be put and
then she made me lead her on
and 1 knew it was just because
she wanted to show me off and
hurt your feelings, why-won't
you give me another trial.

WELL" said the young wom-
an, "if you don't think yon will

Letter to Mr.. J. 7. s. Hickman.
Monroe City, Mo.

Dear Sir: Perhaps you
won't have anything to do
with Mixed Paints We don't
blame you; but Devoe Ready
Paint is not a Mixed Paint;
there is twice as much paint in
a gallon of it as there is in a
gallon of some of the Mixed
Paints. N. Avery, Delhi, N.
Y, owns two houses exactly
alike. Painted one with Mixed
Paints-took IL gal lon 8.
Painted the other with Devoe;
bought IL gallOus-had six gal
Ions lett.
1t has taken a great many
years to find out the best; and
it takes a lot of machinery to
grind it properly.
More than 1000 years, men
painted with lead, and more
than 200 with linseed oil.
About so years ago, they began
to use zinc.
All painters know lead and
oil; most painters know lead
and oil with zinc mixed init
improves their paint; wears
longer: does not chalk or pow
der off 50 soon. One-third more
zinc than lead is used in this
country.
But painters don't know how
much zinc to put in; and zinc is
hard to mix-needs grinding in
and they can't grind it in.
Still, nobody uses lead with.
out zinc, who knows his bust
ness.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.

THE CHURCH FESTIVAL

season in Cosgrove. This was
generally conceded,
This year, however, the Bap-
lists we're exulting over the
fact that their entertainment
was occasioning more talk than
all of the others combined.
Miss Pyreta Morgan had
been made the stellar attrac-
tiOn, and for two reasons Miss
Morgan was of interest TO Cos
groveites. In the first place,
it was whispered that she had
recited in some of the best New
York dra wing rooms, and more
loudly i. was declared that she
had succeeded in replacing
Minerva Gaunt in the affections
OF Howard Hoskins.
Minerva was generally call
ed upon to recite at all enter
tainments not strictly sectarian
and was the shining light OF
the Baptist specials. She was
to recite "Horatlus at the
Bridge" generally conceded to
be her best piece and the
dual rivalry was the subject of
first Importance in the post
Office lobby and around the
stove at Forts grocery.
Considerable speculation was
INDUCED in as to the nature OF
Miss Morgan's selection. On
the copy that had been sent to
the Mercury Office it simply read:
Recitation, selected, Miss
Pyreta Morgan of New York
city
That, as Ham Douglas point
ed out, might mean anything
from the Decalogue0to the Dox-
ology.
Minerva was by far the most
interesting. She aud Harold
had been recognized las good
AZ engaged" for the past three
years. They were fond of each
other, and when Harold was
won over by the superior at
traction of. novelty, she felt
pity for him rather than anger.
Pyreta Morgan was not one
to make captivity pleasant
She had decided to ensnare
Harold, because he was the
beat looking among the men
aud because he owned the fast
est mare in the township.
Her physician, who sent her
to the country, had told her to
keep in the air as much as pos
sible, and every afternoon she
and Harold went driving. He
was negleCting his business as
well as Minerva, and as has
mad passion for this anaemic
city girl was becoming more
than merely town talk.
BY accident or design Miner
va was next on the programme
after Pyreta, and Mrs. Gaunt
loudly protested that the posi-
ton was a most inauspiCious
one. There was no appeal from
the programme, however, and
the cantata was run through.
The minister made his address
and there followed the usual
butchery of song and poetry.
Finally Pyreta's number was
reached and the audience thrlll,
ed with pleasureable anticipa-
ton.
First came Harold Hoskins
in his best suit and a flaming
red necktie. Carefully he plac

with a girdle of crimson velvet.
Cosgrove had not been edu-
Gated to an appreciation of the
aesthetic. and it Uttered. Har.
old numbered from the stage,
while Pyreta sank languidly in-
to the chair.
For a moment she surveyed
her audience, then with a low
but penetrating voice she began
to recite. Her delivery was
clear but unrelieved by variety
of information. There were no
gestures, save an occasional
wave of the hand, nothing to
detract from the motony of the
speech.
Her selection was from the
"Idyls of the King" the story
of Launcelot aud Guinevere.
Cosgrove people were not used
to blank verse, and the only
impression made by the lines
was to the effect that Miss Nor
gan badtbeen i'll advised to Sc
lect for a church affair the re-
cital of illicit love. no matter
how platonic that love might
be.
Cosgrove people did not
split hairs in love affairs. Eth
er love was honest or it was
not. Decidedly Launcelot was
ia person of no morals, nor was
his queen an honest woman.
The amusement caused by
Pyreta's weird idea of reciting
gave way to indignation. Be
fore the long poem had been
finished there were angry muir
murs from all over the hall.
She left the platform in silence.
Not even Harold applauded.
Then came. Minerva in a
white dress. For her there was
no one to lead her on the stage
for her NO artistic color schem mes
or draPeries. She would never
have made a society entertain
err. But when she struck into
the well-known lines: ITO
Rome a scout came flying" the
audience sat up.
She had fresh, clear voice,
unframed but certain, and free
from affectation. There was
the ring of genuine enthusiasm
and she fired her audience.
The applause which greeted
her effort was enough for
Pyreta. She had been ubbed
by all those whom she had en-
countered since she left the
platform. The hearty outburst
of enthusiasm for her rival was
the crowning blow. She turn
ed to Harold.
Take me home please, Mr..
Hoskins," she said YEARLY.
My efforts have tired me"
They left the hall with Miner
vas ringing voice shouting or
ders to the Light Brigade"
and the memory of that voice
fingered in Harold's ears all
through the trip home.
Pyreta Was sullen and would
not speak and he was glad
enough when they reached her
aunt's and she asked to be ex-
Cused from inviting him in on
the plea OF headache.
An hour later Minerva, com
ing home on loot, was surprised
to see a familiar cutter in trout
of her gate, while Harold was

Tonight.

The management at the Opera
House will present play that is
designed to please every one. The
plot is deity woven around the cen
trail idea of a man pretending to
.join the masons, and is worked out
in a thoroughly logical and artistic
manner. This mans deception of
lodge room tactics and the masonic
initiation is wonderful example of
imagination and ingenuity. 1t
suffices to convince his wife that he
is bona fide, but finally the deception
is disclosed and wrath results, to ap-
peas which he eventually does join.
The some company which presented
the play in San Francisco, Los An
geles, Sacramento and other Calf
ornia towns, will appear in Corval-
lis. That the play and the COM
pony are all right is evidenced by
the fact that they are to appear al
the Marquam Grand, in Portland
next week. The play is such that
it is by no means important that
you have front seat. Any seat in
the house will be satisfactory. Seats
