LETTER TO Rev. w. T. FoRsYThE.
MIDDlEBuRY,

Dear Sir: In making pastoral visits, OF
course, you do not consider your pleasure
or comfort or ease; you go where your
people live. But you have two sets of
feelings in going about-can't help it
we all have. But you especially have;
for part of your business is sympathy.
Well-kept lawns and well-tilled fields,
nice homes and nice people. are cheerful
to you, as they are to everyone. Tumble
down buildings, poor fences. men har-
raised by burdens too heavy for them,
over-worked women, and dirty-faced
children, you may be strong to get on
with; but you would be more than
human to find inspiration in misery.
Paint divides the two sorts of people:
one paints and the other don't. Or, per-
haps, the thrifty paint well the unthrifty
paint ill.
To paint well is to keep paint sound.
There are two ways to do it: one is bound
to paint often; the other to use good
paint.
1t costs about half as much to paint
Devoe as to paint with any other paint;
for Devoe takes fewer gallons than
mixed paints and wears twice as long as
lead and oil
The thrifty and comfortable have the
art of using money more wisely. How
lucky they are! how happy!
Yours truly, F. W. DEvoE & Co.
p. S.-A. Calhoun & Son sell our paint.

OF TRAVELS WITH SMITH
Narrates to San Francisco Police How
She Went With Him to
New York
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-"Count-
ess" Leona Brooks reached San Fran
cisco tonight and went at once to the
office of the chief of police. Here she
told her story to Chief Dinan and Cap
tain of Detectives Burnett and Fore
man Andrews of the grand jury.
According to her story she left San
Francisco with Smith on the evening
of April 20. They took the Owl train
to Los Angeles and from there went
to Chicago. From Chicago they went
to New York, where they registered at
the Hotel Vendome as "B. Smith and
wife" It was in New York that they
received information that Smiths de-
falcations had been discovered.
The woman then stated that as soon
as Smith saw that the game was up
he communicated with a friend of his,
a former resident of San Francisco
who got her ticket for Hot Springs
and told her TO get away at once. When
she arrived at Hot Springs she found a
telegram awaiting her there from Smith
telling her to meet him In st. Louis
She went to St. Louis, and from there
on her story is the one that has beer
already printed.

appeared on the open sea, sailing
toward the second Pacific squadron,
which doubtless is awaiting him off
