LETTER TO K. X. MARONEY,

Dear Sir: Devoe is worth 81 or s. a
gallon, put-on; how much is another
paint worth?
Depends on how many gallons
you've got to put-on, to be equal to
one of Devoe.
Mr. J J Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted
two houses one coat, five years ago,
lead-and-oil, took 40 gallons.
Last Summer bought 40 gallons De-
zoe for same houses; had 10 gallons
left.
Mr. n Avery, Delhi, n Y, owns two
houses exactly alike; painted one with
Devoe; took gallons. The other with
some other took 12 gallons.
What YOU give for those off paints,
Bear in mind, you've got to pay for
the painting.
Yours truly

BLEAK NOVEMBER
TOWARD THE CLOSE

Beginning of the Month is Likely to
Be Pleasant.
For November Rev. Irl h. Hicks
makes these predictions;
First storm period covers the first
six days, having its center on the Bird.
In most western extremes the wealth
err will turn to quite warm and baimy
and the barometer will begin falling
about the list and.2nd. From about
the Bird to the 9Th these conditions
will develop into cloudiness and rain
and pass easterly across the country.
The elimination of the period will
fall on and touching the 9Th, about
which day rain, wit tpossible thunder,
will turn to colder and snow in the
north and be followed with rising
barometer, high westerly winds and
much colder.
Second storm period. reactionary.
is central on the Sth and 9th. If
change to colder ana high barometer
follow the first storm period promptly,
quick return to warmer and falling
barometer will return on the It'll.
Look for gusts of autumn wind and
rain at this time. followed by change
to colder, with snow squalls and frosty
nights.
Third storm period will eliminate
on the 14th, 18th and 10th, together
its effect will be felt from the 18th to
18th. About the 18th and 18th mark
ed changes to warmer and falling ba-
rOmeter will begin in the west and by
the 14th cloudiness and rain will be
spreading eastward across the coun-
try. These general disturbances will
reach most parts of the country
from the 18th to 18th, and decided
changes to higher barometer, heavy
snow squalls and cold, high winds
will follow promptly down from the
northwest. Frost and freezing may
be expected during the nights sue.
ceeding these disturbances
Fourth storm period is central on
the 10Th and Goth. The moon on the
celestial equator on the 18th will
bring a sudden reaction to warmer.
The barometer will fall rapidly, wide
cloud areas will form and squalls
of rain turning to snow will visit
many localities in their eastward
journey. Unsettled weather will con-
tinue in a measure from the third to
the fifth storm period.
Fifth storm period extends from
the gath to the Both. We will forecast
for this period the most severe and
general storms of the month. Begin
ming about the time of the full moon
on the 22nd, the barometer will tluc-
tuate and finally fall to marked storm
readings. Temperature and winds
will sympathize with low barometer.
Clouds will organize in western Sec
lions about the 25th, and during Goth
to Goth storms of decided force will
march eastward. The first stages of
these storms will be warm and rainy,
but the last stage will be of decided
boreal character. AS the storm cen
tiers work eastward, carrying with
them the areas of warmth and rain,
westerly to northwesterlY winds will
follow, the barometer will raise and
snow will take the place of rain in
all northern sections. Stiff gales from
the northwest will rush over the lake
regions and through the interior gen
orally, bringing a good sized, Novem-
Der cold waYs.

"DOOd hOrRin, Pop You Dere!'

Each morning, when the sun comes up
To tint the east with red:
When birds sing sweet the day to greet
In branches overhead,
Tis then / fully realize
I'm rich beyond compare,
For sweet and clear voice l hear:
"Dood mornin', pop-you dere2'
The cares of day may vest the night
With visions dark and strange;
And through my sleep dark phaut1ms
creep
And dismal doubtiugs range
But when the morning sunlight
breaks
Then farewell doubt and care,
For sweet and clear voice | hear:
'Dood mornin', pop you derey'
The day dawns bright and hope rcviyes.
The tasks it brings to me
Seem to be small if but that call
Comes fraught with childish glee.
And light of heart l face the day.
For on its morning air
Comes music sweet my ears to greet
Dood mornin, pop-you dere?'
When life is done, its tasks laid down:
When comes eternity;
| humbly pray the Judgment day
Will bring one boon to me
One boon alone | ask of Thee
That in yon city fair
My ears shall hear this greeting clear
''DOod mornin, pop-you dere 2'
