We have the same feeling. Our paint on
house is worth twice as much as old fashion

same when irst put on. In three months it

considered first. rate job that lasts three
years.
Devoe lead-and zinc is about as good in
three ears as it was the day the painter left

Zinc is the secret of it: no secret at all. A
good many painters know zinc; some mix it
in with their lead. We grind it in: not a
little: good deal.

You can't mix zinc by hand. We grind it in

Curinq the Drink Habit.

Norwegian authorities have con-
ceived an original method of curing
drunkards Of their vice. The pa
tient is placed under lock and key,
and his nourishment consists in
great part of bread soaked in port
wine. The first day the drunkard
eats his food with pleasure, and even
on the SECOND day he enjoys it. On
the third DAY he finds that it is al
ways about the same thing, and on
the fourth day he becomes impa-
tent. At the end of eight days he
receives the vine with horror. The
disgust persists, and this homeo-
pathic cure is said to give good re-
suits.

An eastern bishop tells of a young
and inexperienced clergyman who
had just been called to a city charge.
At the end of the first month his
salary was paid by a check, and he
took it to the bank and passed it in
at the paying teller's window. The
official looked at it and then passed
it back. Its perfectly good" he
said, ''but I will have to ask you to
indorse it." The young clergyman
took his pen and wrote across the
face of the check, II respectfully

expressed"

The Efficacy OF Prayer.

A lady tells Of a conversation
that once took place in a friends
house IN Boston in which there were
discussed certain phenomena of the

other.
During The discussion a little CIR
of ten, the daughter of the host
was listening attentively.

another" she said.
"What is it," asked her father.

Whether he loved her he was not at
that time sure. Within a week of
his reiction-he had been refused

Henderson frequently and had
found the mixture of friendliness

the girl thought she had darkened
his existence forever, and he had
encouraged her in this notion. He
felt that he was acting the part of
glorifed Major Dobbin and playing

sion he had sung ''The Devout Low
or" in her presence with so much
feeling as to have affected even him
self. That he was doing a great
evil by this posing he had never re-
fected. He had not even dreamed
that Miss Henderson's feelings to-
ward him were undergoing any
change. When she had proclaimed
her love for him that night he had
been for a second dizzy at the chasm

Flooring In RamshackIe Brooklyn
Church COLLAPSED.

New York. Feb. 2S.-Eleven per-
sons were killed and upwards of fifty

Arrangements had been made last
night to hold funeral services Of Sgd
ney Tainler, one of the older members
and organist Of the church, and the
auditorium, which is on the second

of 800 persons, of whom the majority
were women.
The congregation was waiting in 81
lence for the arrival of the body and
Pastor Jacobs was standing at the
altar awaiting the summons to meet
the funeral procession at the door,
when sharp cracking of timber was
heard and in an instant the half of the
auditorium nearest the door collapsed
carrying down more than hundred
persons, who were crushed in the
wreckage of the. floor and pews,
After examining the bodies, Coroner

Primary Election Measure Under Fair
Way to Become Law.
HOUSE COMMITTEE FOR IT
Made Special Order For March 22-.
Rep. Head Puts Up Strong Fight
Against Anti-Baker asu-e--Mold-
ers' Bill Discussed.

Lansing, Mich, March 1.-The
house elections committee Tuesday at
ternoon reported favorably the bill in.
troduced by Rep. Stone of Lewanee, at
the request Of the State Grange. After
some discussion 1t was made special
order for Wednesday, March %, and
thousand copies were ordered print
ed. The morning session of the COM
mittee was held behind closed doors,
as usual. Every proceeding was a
dark secret.
For the best part of two hours yes
terday afternoon Rep. Head of Grand
Rapids fought singlehanded against
the Doherty bill legislating Secretary
Baker of the board Of health out of
office and giving the governor the pow
er to appoint his successor.
Gordon of Marquette was in the
chair during the committee Of the
whole and ruled out of order a few
hundred letters Head had started to
read, telling of Bakers good points.
The bill was finally agreed to with
out amendments and was placed on
the order of third reading.
Power to Name Secretary.
Head made his contest on the prop
osition to amend by giving the board
instead of the governor power to name
the secretary. He claimed that the
medical societies Of Grand Rapids and
Detroit were with him to that extent
and held up the danger of a demo-
cratic governor being elected some
time.
Earlier in the day Head presented
petition from Secretary Baker ask
ing for an investigation of his depart
ment and had the petition tabled.
Later he tried to have the petition
taken from the table, but failed.
William Thompson Of the Kalama-
zoo Stove Co. attacked the Martindale
molder bill at the hearing in the up
per house in the morning. The meas
ure is designed to supply all kinds of
structures to prevent drafts from
blowing on the men when at work, to
give them lots of light and heat, and
good lavatories.
Thompson said that half the mold
ers won't wear overcoats when plung-
ing from warm to cold tempera-
ture, and that they sit around in the
winter time frequently with as few
clothes as they wear in summer
Ex-senator James o. Murfin of De-
troit attacked the bill, declaring it to
be impractical
G. e. Bement Of Lansing declared
the provision of the measure would
put the small foundries out of bust.

liceman, whose love she had refused.

woman, escaped and last night com
mitted suicide in a lodging house by
shooting himself through the brain.
The young woman was returning
from st. James parochial school,
where she frequently acted as a sub
stitute teacher, and she had reached
the corner Of Twenty-ninth street and
Michigan boulevard when she met
Herman, who had evidently been wait
ing for her. What passed between
them may never be known, but sud-
denly Herman seized the girls arm,
drew her close to him and fired three
times. Herman made his escape.
A large number Of officers were de.
tailed to search for Herman, but moth.
ing was heard Of him until last night

Maple River Farmers Club.

The Maple River Farmers Club
held its February meeting at the
pleasantly situated farm home of Mr.
and Mrs. p B. Reynolds Thursday Of
last week and was we'll attended.
The morning session opened with
Senator A. B. Cook in the chair, but
not until after the dinner hour was
the program proper taken up. The
bill before the legislature relative to
the pay Of county officials was brought
up and explained at some length by
Senator Cook. Considerable opposi-
tlon was raised against the present
bill, due principally to the clause al
lowing the board OF supervisors to
regulate the salaries. 1t was thought
best by the majority OF the speakers
to fix the salary In the leg stature and
take it entirely out OF the supervisors
hands. Some urged Senator Cook to
recall the bill that the offending clause
might be remodeled.
1.-The Art Of resting" was the subject
presented by Mrs. Julia Moore and
thoroughly discussed by many others.
The papers and discussion brought out
diversified number Of ways of rest
ing, 1t being generally agreed that a
short nap or perhaps short time
spent In reading was the best way to
rest during the middle OF the day.
General VS.. special farming was
presented by o. B. Cook. Mr.. Cook
believes that the man who GOES after
all that is best in this life will chose
speciality farming. Time has found it
to be the most profitable and more
men have made success of special
farming. 1t Is hard to find speciality
farmer that isn't a contented farmer.

Governor Removes butcher.

Lansing, Mich, March 1.-Governor
Warner has written Sanford N. Dutch.
er, president of the Newberry asylum
board, demanding his resignation. The
governor was anxious to fire butcher
at once for using his position for pri.
vate gain in selling wood to the asy-
lum, but the encouragement has
found two objections, section of the
constitution prohibiting the governor
from removing state officer while the
legislature is in session, and the asy-
lum board act, which gives offenders
a chance to be heard.
