HOW no EscAPB ATWOOD.

Probably the easiest avenue of es- |cape yet. indicated for those delinquent executors who have been sued by Dwight Preston Atwood for. the penal |ty provided by the statutes is that sug- gested by Attorney Jacob Goodhart yesterday, when, in deprecating "the |compromise plan," he said:
 Anyone who compromises any such case against him is foolish. It is the simplest matter in the world to get |around the trouble, and so prolong the trial that the legislature will have an Iopportunity to repeal the objectionable statute, as it undoubtedly will.
 Instead of thinking of settlement, let the defendant demand jury trial. No further jury, assignments will now be made until the November jury comes in, which will delay proceedings
 for that length of time. Later, further
 postponements may be obtained, the
 actions thus dragging along until the Legislature shall have met and repeal
 | ed the esction under which Atwood
 brings his suits.''

Dear Sir: Your business is

The owner some money to build a
new one. It is good business
Queer that the world got on SO long
without it.
We paint the one that burnt
down and the new one too. What
is better, we paint the houses that
don't burn down.
You insure the houses that burn;
we insure the houses that don't
You have the ashes and smoke; all
the houses are ours.
We paint lcad-and-zinc; Deyoe,
We sell the paint to paintersi 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 cheap
est, because it takes fewer gallons
than mixed paints and it wears
twice as long as lead and oil. No
body wants poor paint; there's lots
Of it, though, IN the world.
