Letter to Chas. J. Weller.

IhurmOnt, Mo.
Dear Sir: Por!erhouse, go much; neck, 30
much; all the way between.
Just so with paint, Deyoe lead and zinc
is the porterhouse. Nobody wants the neck;
the between, some say, in good enough for
them.
But Devoe costs less. not more, than be.
tween. Lead and oil is between; 1t is the
old fashion paint, But zinc has come in.
Zinc toughens white lead Devoe lead and
zinc is the paint that wears twice as long as
lead and oil.
Mr.. John N Deitel, Fair Haven, N Y says;
"Mr Charles Hollenbeck, of this place,
painted his house three years ago with De.
voc lead and zinc his father painted at the
same time With lead and oil. Today the
sons house looks as we'll as the day 1t was
painted, while the fathers house has all chal
ked off and needs painting very badly. The
father says he will paint with Devoe next
time"
Yours truly
"a FW DEyoE & Co.

Preserving Fish.

One of our enterprising citizens is "dp-
ping" fish out of the stream Trough holes
cut in the ice, They are torpid and notion
less He places them in hole cut half way
through block of ice and fills in with wa
ter. Next morning it is frozen solid enclos-
ing the fish. He hauls wagon load of these
blocks to his ice house and packs them away.
His house is about filled Next summer he
will sell you the ice and fish; melt the Ice
and you will have live fish, fresh and solid.

After weatheling the winter and feeling
pretty secure our High Run water supply
stopped last Sunday night. With the ex-
IRENE cold of this winter, our people have
not had the usual trouble with frozen sup
ply pipes; this can be accounted for by the
heavy coat OF snow on the streets, the dan
ger point being from the curbstone to the
building, under the pavement.

THE CRIMINAL TRIAL.

The interest which the average mar
takes i'm criminal trials is something
remarkable. No matter how crowded
the court room nor how uncomfortable
the seat nor tedious the standing, MOI
dull the examination, nor dreary the
discussion, still there he stays from
opening TO closing hour rather regret
ting that the daily sermons are not
longer May be he is ever on the tip
toe Of expectancy that the unexpect-
ell will happen, or that the surprise
will be sprung next moment.
4 sermon of an hours length would
at once bring the preacher into dis
favor, but the speech Of the lawyer in
a criminal case isn't just respectable
unless il consumes at least three hours
in delivery. \ remark, made on the
street corner, which would make one
tired uttered by witness under
the fire Of cross examination, strs the
blood. Conduct Of the every day citi-
zen noticed i'm business or social circles
without exciting comment, exhibited
by one charged with crime is at once
invested with marked significance.
We don't pretend to understand it,
and yet courtroom scenes are to most
men of thrilling interest.

TIE GOYERNORsHIP.

Mr.. Swanson has formally an
nounced his candidacy for the govern
ship. and i'm his address TO the Demo
cratic voters Of the state covers the
whole ground Of the wants of the State
and pledges himself ifhonored with an
election 10 meet them SO far As the po-
sition Of governor will allow.
He candidly confesses that since his
early boyhood he has had the lauda-
ble ambition Of wanting TO be govern
OF of his mother State. The honorable
position is a prize worthy any mans
best effort TO win but at this particular
period in this young mans life, and at
time when he is recognized as one Of
the leading congressman of the state,
and one who seems TO have the con-
gressiOnal situation well in hand, the
wonder is that he wants to be govern
or. Those who have occupied that po-
sition, certainly for many decades
past, have generally been relegated TO
walks Of private life after the expira-
ton Of their respective terms Of Office.
Gilbert G. Walker who was called
into service in an emergency, was inn
mensely popular as governor, but
when as his four years in the Virginia
White House were ending he aspired
10 be United States Senator he was
easily beaten. The gifted Kemper
went from the mansion TO his farm
with no political promise before him.
And what need we say of Holiday,
Lee, O'Ferrall and Tyler?
1t may be that the position, in the
estimation Of the Virginia people, is
80 exalted that when a man once at
tains unto it he should be satisfied to |
pend the rest Of his life in the pleas
ant reflection, that l too have been |
governor Of Virginia.
This is not written in opposition TO
lir. SwansOn's candidacy nor in the
interest Of that Of any other aspirant.
We have not named our racer as yet,
and can only now say that we will
,upport the nominee with enthusiasm
md TO the best Of our ability. OF the
.acers already entered there isn't a
scrub" among them, on the contrary
III are thorough breds, free of fetlocks.
No matter who wins we stand ready
o fling our hat high in mid air and
ing his praises.

"SORORITIES "

f. q. Cooley, Supt. Of Chicag
schools, writes a strong indictmen
against "Sororities," or "Frats, " as h
styles them. They are nothing NOR
nor less than the secret societies con
nected with many of our schools. anC
iphad not occurred to us that so much
could have been said against their ex
istence, and especially by those who
are conversant with their influence fol
good or evil. Mr.. Cooley confines his
fight against them being allowed in
high schools Of lower grade, and is
hands off so far as the colleges and
higher institutions Of learning are con-
cened. If they are hurtful in any
school, however, we would not have
their influence felt in any. From Is
principals and 375 teachers Of Chicago
High schools we have strong disap-
proval Of all such societies.
Among other things they say, "since
the public school is an institution sup
ported by public tax, all classes, with
out distinction of wealth or social
standing are entitled TO an equal share
IN its benefits Anything that divides
the school community into exclusive
groups, as these sororities do, initiates
against the libeIalizing influences that
has made peopleo utofamultitude
And again, "our experience shows
that the scholarly attainments Of the
majority Of students belonging to these |
secret societies are far below the aver |
age, and we have reason to believe that
this is due to the influence Of such or
One principal lays stress on the costs
incident to membership in such insti-
iuiions which rules out the boys and
girls of limited means, and still anoth-
sr insists that they are hot houses for
he cultivation Of "snobs.u Werepeat
hat this is all new to us, but coming
rom such reputable sources ithas nut
Is at least to thinking on the subject.
There are such societies connected with
tampden-Sidney and our Normal.
md we have been wondering if any of
'ur teachers would agree with the
'hicago teachers from whom we have
