A loafer on the street, whose wife
was probably at home getting out a
neighbours washing to make money to
buy the children shoes, asked busy
man the other day if he ever saw a
bald-headed woman. "No, / never
did," replied the busy man. Sand /
never saw a woman Waiting around
town in her shirt sleeves with cigar
in her teeth and running into every
saloon she saw. Neither did i ever
see a woman sitting ali day at the
street corner on dry goods box tell
ing people how the secretary of the
treasury should run the national
finances. have never seen a woman
go'fishing with bottle in her pocket,
sit on the bank all day and go home

woman yank off her coat and say she

used any other kind of paint but Devoe lead
and-zinc; recon mend it to all my customers.
When 1 commence job 1 tack up card
reading as follows: M A Thomas, contractor;
Devoe paint"
Putting it on costs two or three times as
much as the paint. Have you found this out?
You can paint Dsvoe in less time: less time.
less money.
Have you found this out? Devoe wears
longer than anything else.
You don't object to long time between Jobs
Your customer likes it. And you like what
he likes. 1t keeps your customers.

Stop Doing These Things.

Stop gossiping, CRU milling, fidgeting,

Scolding and flying into passion
over trifles.
Thinking that life is grind, and
not worth living.
Talking continually about yourself
and affairs.
Saying unkind things about &C
quaintances and friends.
Exaggerating and making noun
tains out of molehills.
Lamenting the past, holding on to
disagreeable experiences.
Plying yourself and bemoaning
your lack Of opportunities.
Waiting around for chances to turn
up. Go and turn them up.
Writing letters when the blood is
hot, which you may regret later.
Thinking of yourself, to the exclu-
sion of everything and every one else.
Carping and criticizing. See the
best rather than the worst in others.
Dreaming that you would be happier
in some other place or circumstances.
Belittling those whom you envy
because you feel that they are super
Tor to yourself.
Dilating on your pains and aches to
every one who will listen to you.
Gazing idly into the future an6
dreaming about it, instead of making
the most of the present.
Longing for the good things thai
others have, instead of going to WORK
and earning them for yourself.
Looking for opportunities hundred
of thousands of miles away, instead
of right where you are.-Ex.

Insurance Revelations.
me investigation of thu New York
Lie Insurance company by the legis-
lativs committee was finished last
week aud aft airs of the Mutual Life
company taken up. 1 was conciu-
siveiy shown that the New York Life
mas m aintained a large fund for the
corruption of state legislatures, to
prevent unfriendly legislation. 1t
was handled by Judge" Hamilton,
VINO gave no accounting to anybody
OF the sums used. Favoritism was
shown inasmuch as near relatives of
PRESIDENT Mccall paid only nominal
rentals for handsome city apartm snts
n building owned by the Nav York
Life. The Mutual revelations have
been perhaps the worst of all so far.
District Attorney Jerome has been
moved to announce that he would
certainly lay the insurance scandals
before the grand jury for their action.
President McCurdy of the Mutual re-
ceives salary of $3.50, 900 year, and
two presidents get $50, 900 each.
The president of the United States
gets only $50, 900. In addition it was
shown that commissions amounting to
over $4,000, 900 have been allowed Nc
Curdy's son and SON. inl since 1886.
| The son testified that he didn't know
what his fathers salary was. The
company paid $72, 900 last year for
luncheons for it's employees. 1t has
| ''confidential fund.- for expenditures,
and sums up to $50, 900 can be drawn
| from it on the mere so. K of one of
the executive officers. The Mutual
Life has contributed 1000 to the re-
publican national campaign fund in
| the last three elections. McCurdy
says it is a mistake to suppose that
life Insurance companies are intended
for the making of money for the pol
| icy holders, but they are great phil
anthropic institutions whose benefits
are to be extended all over the world.

Obituary of Sophia S. Wiley.

At the hospital in Clinton, Mass, where
she had gone for medical treatment, on
October 5, occurred the death of Mrs.
Sophia 8. Wiley, wife of Lysias B. Wiley,
and daughter of the late Lyndol and
Nancy (McLellan) French of Glover. The
deceased was born in Glover April 10, 1885,
and has been a resident of this town all
her life. She was educated at the "Orleans
Liberal Institute" then in its palmy days,
in which academy she was a favorite
student and leader of her young associates.
Three children were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Wiley: Nora, the eldest, who is the wife
of Darwin S. Waterman of Barre; Ralph,
who died at two years OF age; and Dean,
who also passed away, fifteen years ago,
aged eighteen years. Three brothers and
two sisters survive her: Heman French of
Lyndon, Dean G. French of Dorchester,
Mass, DIR. Charles L. French of Clinton,
Mass, MIS-. Serucia F. Leonard of Man
chester, N. H, and Mrs. Helen F. McGaffey
of Glover. Mrs. Wiley possessed bright,
cheerful disposition, and during the years
of her failing health looked always for the
''silver lining'' in her clouded horizon,
when friends made inquiries of her condi-
ton. She was apt at repartee, br, ad in
her views of the higher life, an active
worker In the UniversaIist parish, and
deeply devoted to the prosperity of the
Ladies' Mite Society. She was especially
public spirited, and interested in the
events of the day. Universally beloved.
she will be greatly missed in the commun-
ity where she has spent long and useful
life. Rev. Mr.. Flower and Rev. Mr.
Hewitt officiated in appropriate though
brief services at her late home on Sunday
at 200 O'Clock p. M, where many relatives
and friends assem- bled to pay their las
respects, and look once more upon the fac'
of the honored dead. The profusi o
| flowers which covered and surrounded
her cssket bore visible testimony to tn,
love and esteem in which she was held by
all. She was laid to rest in the Glove

BALL AND CHAIN LAW.
Warren County to Take Up the
Act Passed in Middlesex-

BELVIDERE, Aug. 17:7Hereaftei
Il sentence to hard labor in the War
rem County Penitentiary will mean
with ball and chain attachment. The
County Board of Freeholders has de-
cided to provide a ball and chain for
each prisoner, and gangs will he set
to work upon the roads here and in
Phillipsburg Hackettstown and Blair
town. These towns are improving
their roads with state aid, and will
be glad to have the help of the prison
gang.
1t was not the increase of crime so
much as the increase in the expense
attending the maintenance of the
county penal institutions that has
caused the board to take action. The
number of prisoners, particularly
from the Phillipsburg end OF the
county, on the Pennsylvania border
line, has largely increased recently.
More than half of them are said to
be wife beaters, and it is at them
particularly that the new regulation
is aimed.

"There is nothing else in the CITY

American and journal. sit is six
stories in height, on a plot 45xlO0,
the exterior being of brick and terra
Gotta. The architecture is distinctly
Venetian, with a blending of Gothic
and byzantine. recall ing bits of the
Palazzo Ca Doro in Venice, the
Doges' Palace, Palaz2o du Gale and
Desdemona's house. The balcony is
an exact reproduction of Desdemona's
house from photographs OF the origi-

tile. This is probably the only in
stance in this country where the We

such minute attention has been given

SOMETHING DOM.

Neither was forthcoming and the

Mr.. beats as something Of a joke.
A representative OF the Dover
Boiler Works was also present and
with other of the bridge represent
atives present was asked as to wheth-
er the specifications for this work
we're not plain enough. Auditor Pow
nall asked If the specifications were
not fair to every bidder. It has been
said they were not what tAey should
be. All the bridge men RIGagnt said
they were satisfactory and very
clear.
The Dover Boiler Works man said
the construction of a bridge, was diff
ferent from the building of a house
Mr.. Bloomfield having made such
a comparison in his statement.
IN a bridge said the bridge rep
resentative you have to take into
consideration the weight that will
have to be carried"
"And in building a house where
an iron girder is placed don't you
have to consider how many pounds
a foot that is to be carried. That's
no argument said Freebooter Eel
ton, who is the building inspector of
this city.
Factory Was Closed.

tory had been closed last January for
two months because ice had inter-
'fered with his work and many hands
were laid off. FL. .nssl,N5

Works, had his plans ready for sub

Fountain held that they could not be
accepted until the board took up the
bids as the solicitor had advised
against accepting the present bridge.
The Penn Bridge Company wrote
for the return of its check they be-

done until the bids had been disposed
