IStuNu OHU, tf"oht'
Dear Sir: Have you found this out?
You need less of Devoe lead and-zinc
for Job than of anything else: less
gallons; less money.
NJ. A. Thomas, painter, Lynchburg,
Va. has found it out; he writes 'The
first job / did with your paint !
estimated 81 gallons; had II gallons
left over. Since then ! have not used
any other kind of paint but Devoe lead
and zinc: | recommend ii to all my
customers. When | commence job, |
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 Devoe in less
time: less time less money.
Have you found this out? Deyoe
wears longer than anything else.
You don't object to long time between

MAINE MUSIC FESTIVAL.

Prof, W. 5. Wight of Bethel was in
town last week in the interest of the
Maine music festival, which will be
held in Bangor October ), 6. and Z, and
in Portland October 0, 10 and IL. He
gives the following outline OF what this
years festival will be.
The opening night will be an operate
program, and will introduce all the
artists except Madame Eames. Evan
Williams will sing 10y request the
beautiful aria 'Lend Us Your Aid"
from the "Queen of Sheba." There
will be four scenes from the opera of
Lohengrin, which will introduce the
most beautiful melodies and the best
chorus work of the opera, including the
"Swan Song" the prayer and finale
the love duet, the bridal music and the
'llail, Elsa, Hail" chorus. Madame
Kelsey, Miss foot, Mr.. Carrie, Mr..
Croxton aud Signor Nunziato will sing.
The chorus and orchestra will be heard
to advantage.
The first afternoon will oe almost like
a song recital by Evan Williams. This
great artist will sing four numbers.
The chorus and orchestra will also take
part, and Mr.. Chapman has put some of
his best and newest orchestral works on
this program.
The second night will be given the
beautiful oratoro of the "Creation, -
with the three ideal oratorio singers,
Kelsey Carrie and Croxton, to sing the
grand music The chorus and orchestra
will be very much in evidence through
out the entire evening. The oratorio is
shorter than the Elijah or the Messiah,
and is very tuneful. The second after
noon will lie popular orchestral
program. Miss Root and Mr.. Croxton
will sing also the chorus. Mr.. Croxton
will sing the aria from the Queen of
Sheba' and some popular songs which
show the beauty of his glorious voice.
Miss Root will sing the "Waltz Song"
of Zee Stern's.
And then comes Eames, with pro-
gram of matchless interest. She will
sing her greatest aria from ala Tosca,"
which opera is considered hers now, so
wonderfully does she take the part of
the heroine. She will also sing the
waltz from "Romeo and Juliet" and
the grand aria from Stabat Mater, and
the "lnflamatus,' in which the chorus
will join. Mr.. Carrie and Signol
Nunziato will also sing on that program
which will without doubt be the mos
brilliant and attractive ever offered al
any festival. The music will begin very
promptly to accommodate the many on
of town patrons who must take trains

"OH. JUST BECAUSE"
That's the Reason Miss. Sherley Broke
Her Engagement

Baltimore, Md. Dec. 27.-Mis Eli
zabeth Sherley, the Kentucky belle,
whose romantic engagement to Big
Tom Shelvin, the Yale fullback, was
recently declared off, causing as much
of a sensation as the announcement Of
the engagement had been a surprise,
is now on a visit with her mother to
the home of Mrs George Ewing at
BrooklandVille, in the Green Spring
Valley, in the suburbs of Baltimore.
Mrs. Sherley said today that her
daughters enga cement to Mr.. Shevlin
was broken because of her youth, but
on this subject Miss Sherley seems to
have different views.
THE engagement was broken-well
will not tell just what the reasons
We're" said Miss Sherley. They are
reasons of my own, and that settles
it. [ am not sure that Mr.. Shevlin
knows all my reasons, but | do, and l
do not care to say anything further
about it. My mother did and now does
object to me getting married because
am young, but that would not stop
me if 1 wanted to get married. If L
were but IA and loved a man l would
marry him.
THE story printed in any paper
that the engagement was broken be-
cause Mr.. Shevlin objected to my re-
ceiving attentions from other men is
untrue. as are a great many other
stories. My engagement was broken
because because it was, and because
[ have reasons for it, and | am not
going to tell any one why.
