Letter to e. T. Powell
Wachapreague, Va.

Dear Sir: The cheap paint to buy
is the one that covers more than you
think; the cheap one to wear is the
one that is young when old.
Mrs. Moore, of Kelsey, N. Y, bought
Is gallons Devoe to paint her house
two coats; her painters said it would
take that. Had gallons left.
Mr.. James Ackley's house, in Cairo
(Catskill Mountains), N. Y, was
painted Devoe; it wore IA years; and
the paint was in good condition then.
He was going to paint, the last we
knew, though. That's the way to
preserve house repaint when there's
no occasion.
Yours truly,
F. w. Devoe & Co.
New York.

Make Your Will.

In drafting and executing Wills OF
persons in extremis, have often found
that the relief occasioned them by the
satisfactory settlement of their affairs
exercised very marked Improvement
In their condition, and in one instance
effected a complete cure, writes Judge
Henry A. Shute, in Good Housekeep-
ing. Every person capable of holding,
OF accommodating property, should have
a voice in it's distribution after his
death, and this in justice to himself,
his heirs and beneficiaries. 1t seems
hardly credible that business man
who has spent lifetime in hard work
to accumulate property, who has given
the best part of his life to careful cal
culation to preserve the property, will
often die without having made any
provision for its proper distribution,
or, having made such provision, has
made it in SO careless and slovenly a
manner as to defeat his purpose, and
yet the records of courts, both probate
and supreme, are full Of such cases.
and the reports of every state are
crammed with decisions against the
validity Of such testaments.s

CONGREGATION ON STRIKE
Worshipers Walk Out in Body Be-
cause Pastor Ousted SUI
perintendent.

Toledo, O.-Strikes of all kinds and
descriptions are on record, but that OF
church community using it as weap-
on is out of the ordinary. Such an oc-
currence happened in the Industrial
Heights church during the school hours.
Considerable friction has existed be-
tween the pastor and his flock, and par
ticularly between him and Fred Hart
man, the Sunday school superintend-
ent. Hartman was requested to resign
by the minister, but he refused.
On a recent Sunday morning MIR.
Hoover, the pastor, reached the school
ahead of Hartman, and commenced ex-
ercises. When Hartman entered and
asked the meaning he was told he was
not wanted by the minister. Hartman
appealed to the people, and men, wom-
en- and children arose and said they
wanted him.
The pastor refused to acquiesce, and
Hartman, followed by the entire con-
gregation, left Hoover praying, and adj
journed to a corner grocery store, where
services were continued.
At the evening services it was ru-
mored that some Of the more radical
stormed the minister with clots Of mud,
but this statement is denied by Mr..
Hoover.

It does not seem needful to follow
the impossible laws Of the past and
levy tax upon the bachelor, as Wis
sconsin suggests. As the married man,
like virtue, is his own reward, SO the
bachelor, like vice, is his own punish
ment, observes the Chicago Journal.
There was time when a bachelor
filled a more or less useful place In
the world. He used to attend parties
and dance with the girls. He used to
pass articles of food and drink to the
more elderly ladies. He used to make
calls which were a joy to himself and
to those called upon. But nowadays
he does none of these things to any
extent His one remaining place is that
of best man at wedding-and he is
there, only because the bridegroom
likes to feel that there is somebody
else who looks more or less silly.
