LETTER TO DR. J. H. STU.
 DER, NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: We manage to: get some fun out of paint. J. H.. Kohlmeyer, Grove City, Pa., put in Devoe. Along came a sales man of somebody else's paint before ours had got there. Sales man said ours was short meas ure, Kohlmeyer weakened, hung fire and Topped; stopped ours and took his.
 It was our turn now. We emptied our can into his and his into ours. The short measure was his, not ours; and we kept our man.
 And ever since then that paint manufacturer gives full measure; his paint is not pure, but his gal lon contains four quarts.
 Go by the name; and the name to go by is Devoe lead-and-zinc.

SHERLOCK HOLMES AGAIN.
A New Series of Detective Sto-
 ries in the Kansas City Star.


 Conan Doyle's detective sto- ries, with the marvellous Sher- lock Holmes as their hero, have achieved the greatest success of recent years. Appreciating this fact, the publisher of Golfers Weekly, New York, induced MT. Doyle to write a final series of the great detectives adventures. Repeated refusals were followed by increased inducements, and finally MT. Doyle agreed to write thirteen stories for S45, ,000, or about 60 cents a word. The en- tire correspondence was by ca ble.
 The amount paid by Golfers is the largest ever paid for such work and does not include the right to publish the stories in book form. By special arrange ment with Golfers these famous stories are being printed in the Kansas City Star, one story each week, beginning in the daily edition of Saturday, February H., and in the weekly Wednesday, February 15.
 None of the present popular features of the Star will be cut down or omitted to make room for this remarkable set of stories. Practically the contents of a $1.5O book will be added to the con- tents of the Star in three months without any increase of the sub scription price, 10 cents a week for the daily Star, (morning, evening and Sunday, 13 complete papers a week. and 25 cents a year for the weekly Star.

The Picture Hat.

"I witnessed an amusing incident at one of the local theaters the other evening"" remarked the theater-goer. "A woman. wearing a large picture hat, was seated directly in front of an elderly man, who was straining his neck in an endeavor to see what was happening on the stage, and, of course. 1t was only possible for him to see but one-third of the performance.
 "The second act had begun, and I could plainly see that his anger was increasing. At last, when he could stand 1t no longer. he lightly tapped the woman on the shoulder, and, in as gentle tone as he possibly could mus ter, said:
 Madam, pardon me, but paid two dollars for this seat. and your hat
 "'My hat cost s2s, sir-r-r!' came the naughty reply.

Life a Burden

There are times when lie seems burden-when you are tired, worn-out, have dull pains in the head and continual feeling of uneasiness. You have no appetite, and your di- gestion is poor; your sleep broken, and you get no rest.
 Little annoyances seem great mountains of trouble, and you are blue, melancholy and given over to gloomy forebodings.
 This means low vitality-ex- hausted brain nerves.
 For this condition Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine is a spe- cihc; it is food for the nerves. It builds up the nervous sys- tenn, and restores lost energy. Try it to-day and see if your sleep is not sound and refresh- ing, and the morrow brighter and more hopeful.
 T am glad to announce that I have advanced age will permit, as I am S2 years old.

said that there were men in the

had no passes over the refrigerator

the refrigerator cars. They do get
favors, however, from the Pullman

highest legal authorities that ever

Justice John Marshall, these COM

WASHINGTON LETTER.
prom Our Regular CorressDOndent-l
Washington d. C. Nov. 20, 1908

Washington d. c. Nov. 20, 1905.
see that Senator Morgan. of Ala
bama. who is pretty good sort OF
old fashioned Democrats, has come
out flat-footedly in favor Of the posi-
ton that | have taken in my cores
dence for some time past. He says
in q recent interview: Were q
national commission given power 10
fix interstate rates, this would be-
come prominent feature in nation
al politics with all the evils Of wire
pulling aud rivalry OF interests that
would entail.
The Federal control of railways
which President Roosevelt is asking
for so strenuously. is a political
proposition, and you cannot make
anything else out of il no matter
from which side you look att. The
agitation started in the West because
the West wanted certain markets in
the Southern States that are now
practically given over to the North
Atlantic States. 1t is essentially a
fight between communities for trade,
aud people who run away with the
idea that there is anything philan-
thropic in it for the farmer, the
manufacturer or the consumer, will
find themselves very much mistaken
before the agitation ends.
Personally l think we will have
some sort of Legislation by the pre-
sent Congress which will do away
with confessed evils in the trans
portation business. These are the
payment of rebates and any dis
ordinations in favor of certain
shippers, who by reason OF the vol
ume OF their trade. have been able
to hold up the railroads and demand
concessions from them. There may
be some steps taken toward the in
spection Of railroad accounts TO as
certain whether rebates are allowed,
and other minor legislation TO make
the present interstate law more
efficient; but railway rate legisla-
ton, which will put into the hands
of the Commission the power to tx
rates, does not now seem probable.
Such step, as Senator Morgan
has pointed out, would be interior
ence with State rights, and that old
Democratic theory is sure to be
thrashed out in Congress before any
Legislation of any sort is taken.
Several of the States have rate
making commissions already, and a
Federal commission with similar
power would come into direct con-
fiict with them. This conflict over
State rights is sure to come, and
Democrats are not going to endorse
a movement which means a centra-
lized government. Democrats do
not want Imperialism. That is the
reason | believe the Republicans
are counting their chickens before
they are Matched, when they assert
that the Democrats will help Roose-
Welt to what he wants, which is no.
thing short of the first step toward
Imperialism. Imperialism is not
good democracy.
