Good Paints
Pay Dividends.

Paint is as important on a house
as insurance. Fires and cyclones
are rare, but the wear of wind and
weather is sure and constant.
Wood and other building materi-
al last indefinitely if protected by
paint. Besides, paint improves the
appearance and increases the value
of any building. There are many
reasons WHY

wall. They hit on the brilliant e1-
pedient of getting rid of the bees by
burning them out, and IN the process
set fire to the house. They had a
strenuous time fighting the flames,
and it was only by the active assist
ance of a number OF persons that the
house was saved, after considerable
damage had been done. Mr.. Gibson
was 20 certain that the house would
be burned that be had all the furnl-
ture carried out, including the piano.
Last Saturday afternoon thunder
storm passed over this section, and a
heavy rain fell. The clouds were
intensely angry looking, and some
persons feared a cyclone or a hail
storm, at least, but while there was
wind, there was not enough to do any
damage. In the evening another
storm passed over about s clock, and
more rain fell. lightning struck a
wild cherry tree across the road from
Nathan Myers's home east OF town,
and literally tore the tree into spin
ters. Mrs. Myers was standing ID
the door at the time, and besides be-
ing slightly stunned by the shock
was terrified beyound description
The binding fash of lightning was
followed by an appalling crash OF
thunder, and ball of fire seemed to
explode on the porch where she was
standing. At the same time spin,
tiers from the tree were thrown all
around her, some being hurled as far
as c. W. Shows house. Mrs. Myers
was ill for a couple days from the
shock.

"For unnecessary roughness 'pilng up

CIRCULAR SENT TO SCHOOLS INTERESTED

Athletic Directors.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-FOllowing
the suggestion of President Roosevelt FOR
uniform eligibility rules in college athlet-
les aud for the elimination Of unnecessary
roughness, brutality and foul play in the
American game Of foot ball, the University
OF Pennsylvania has taken the initiative
for suggested reforms and has addressed
a circular letter on the subject to the heads
OF all universities, colleges, and private
schools in the United States interested in
athletics. This action was taken after a
number OF meetings by the committee on
athletics Of the University OF Pennsylvania,
at which the presidents thoughts on the
subject were discussed. The committee
formulated rules which Il thought would
meet the situation, and decided to send
them to all educational institutions in the
country for consideration, and adoption IL
they met approval.

Phrosia, the "goil detective" are bits of
comedy work out Of the regular rut. The
whole Damn Family" song feature made
a genuine hit. this act being portrayed by
six members of the company, with Miss
Valmaseda presenting the song. Harry
Ladel as Schnitzel, the bill poster, danced
himself into favor with as nimble a pair
Of neither limbs as have been seen on the
Krug stage for some time.
From a strictly musical standpoint the
opera won decided favor. The topical song
hits are numerous. George Lydeckers ro-
bust baritone voice augurs good things for
that young actor, while Misses Valmaseda
and Clark were much in evidence with
voices and vivacity.
