Dear Sir Here's something every
painter and builder ought to know.
Mr.. J J Hall, Sheffield. Pa, painted two
houses, 5 years ago. lead-snd oil: took 40
gallons Last year. he painted Devoe;
bought 20 gallons; had 10 left.
He is one of thousands. The know
ledge is getting about pretty generally,
that Devos goes further than anything
else.
Have you found it out in your own
EXPERIENCED
How much further
Suppose job amounts tolO, 900 square
feet; how much less Devoe could you
buys
Is it as easy to psints Dees it cost an
moe or less to put-no by the gallon than
any thing elses how muchs
If it costs no more 10 put-on Devoe by
the gallon, il costs less by the foot, you
know; for the gallon does more fee:
How much less. DO you find IL. for wages
Lasts, say, twice as long; that is the
owners gain; but perhaps you recken il
yours; some do. The time. when that
comes-in, is when he gives out the mex,

A PUBLIC BEKEFACTOR.

President RooseveIt's intense
dislike of THE man with the muck
rake" can hardly be wondered at,
for the man" has uncovered so
many scandals that the Roosevelt
Administration will 90 down into
history as the most disreputable
era of Republican supremacy. If
there had been no muck, the rake
would have remained idle. Was
not a rake necessary to uncover
the Insurance grating, the posta
frauds, the land frauds, the Panama
grating and mismanagement, anc
would President Roosevelt have
prevented the exposure Of these
scandals, because il unmasked the
corruption or connivance Of some
of the highest officials OF the Re
publican partly 1t is no easy OIL
pleasant task to WELD the rake
but the man who does stir up the
muck in an overhanded manner
telling the truth without fear, OF
favor, is a public benefactor. Tn,
fact is, the Republican politician
had become so intrenched in powe
that the grafters thought that any
thing they did, however vicious
would be unobserved by the people
but the man with the rake with hi
publicity, exposed them with tn
Republican party which was re
sponsible for them.

RESISTANCE TO TAXATION.

Nlrglnians Of the 18th century
were quick to resist what they con-
sidered TO be unjust taxation. a
striking instance of this, which
may not be generally remembered,
is related by the historian, Camp
bell. 1t occurred during the term
of Governor Dinwiddie in the
reign Of George H., and affords a
prelude TO the stirring events that
were TO take place in the struggles
Of American patriotism against the
tyranny of King George III. MIR.
Campbell says:
The Nirginians were in the
habit Of acquiring lands without
expence, by means of a warrant of
a survey without a patent. Din
widdie found a million of Impatient
ed acres thus possessed. and he
established, with the advice of the
council, a fee of a pistole (equiva-
lent to three dollars and sixty cent?,
for every seal annexed to a grant.
Againstthis measure the Assembly,
in December, 1853, passed strong
resolutions, and declared that who
ever should pay that fee should be
considered a betrayer of the rights
of the people; and they sent the
attorney general. Peyton Randolph,
as their agent, TO England, with g
salary of two thousand pounds. t.

generations TO certain taxes fol
which there is no excuse. Oul

Never Faces His Prey, hut Attacks Ia
ON the Flank.
I have taken considerable trouble to
fnd out how tigers Kill large game.
Some time ago I was asked to come
and see full grown bullock that had
been killed by n tiger. On examining
It found the animal had its neck
broken. and there were claw marks
on the nose and shoulder. but nowhere
else. There was no doubt that the
tiger had jumped at the bull and land
Ell on the shoulder. aud when the bull
turned his head TO gore the tiger he
must have put his claw out and with
n sudden jerk broken the neck.
On another occasion went 90 see a
young buffalo which had been killed by
4 tiger and found the same thing had
happened There were similar marks
on the nose and also on the near shoul-
der. which clearly indicated that this
animal had been killed IN the same
way. Maiays who have actually seen
a tiger killing buffalo told me they
saw the same thing happen: also that

weight across his shoulder.
This must be Fairly Correct. as 1
have often followed Kill. and the
marks left indicate that only n portion
OF the animal was trailing along the
ground. I have known n full grown
bull. which ten men could not move,
dragged FOR two miles by tiger in n
heavy jungle. where roots Of trees and
swamp had 10 be gone through. In no
case have seen the pug marks facing
the wrong way except when stopping
TO feed. which proves he must carry a
portion OF the animal over his Shout
der
The old idea OF tiger killing large
game by blow from his paw is non
sense; besides. in India a tiger never
faces his prey, bur attacks him on the
flank unless charged. Another curious
fact that may seem very like n fairy
tale is that a tiger does not seem 10

ALL MOULD Be GOVERNOR.

The Gubernatorial sweepstakes
is still three years of, but the en-
tries are already looming up in a
fashion that would indicate that
there will be hot campaign, with
new and old campaigners in the
struggle for the prize. There are
to be seven candidates. according
to the "favorite son" idea. with
probably others yet to be heard
from
Hon. j. Taylor Ellysou, the
Lieutenant Governor, will not
dodge the nomination. On the
contrary, there is reason to believe
that were he to see it coming along
the road he would put himself
directly in the way of it and do his
best TO effect It's capture.
Judge X. t. W. Duke is also
perfectly willing to accept the NOM
ination rather than see it go to a
less deserving man. He thinks it
should 90 to a good-lOokiDg man,
and for that reason would modestly
bow TO the will of the people.
Henry G. Stuart, of Russell,
member of the State Corporation
Commission, a Democrat and bust
ness man. Is just the build and dis
position to assume the duties of the
Office. He would not be frightened
by big field, and would easily fill
the chair.
Judge William Hodges Mann, of
Nottaway. who was defeated in the
race for the nomination by Cover
nor Swanson, would willingly un-
dertake the control and guidance
of the old ship of state. He has
never shirked a duty, and would
be perfectly at ease in the position.
Edward Echols, of Staunton. a
Prohibitionist by practice and a
Democrat by profession, always
answers Here " when the roll is
called. He is modest and unas-
suming and ready to make a sacri-
flee and perform the duties OF
Governor without complaining.
Congressman Carter Glass, OF
Lynchburg, editor, Senator, Con
stitutional Convention member.
who began politics a few years age
on his own account and landed in
Congress, has said that he would
make the race, and he always
means what he says.
Harry St, George Tucker OF
ROckbridge, Washington and
jamestown, president of the James,
town Exposition Company. is in
a receptive mood. He is not talk
ing at this time, but he could be
induced TO accept the nomination
after lie has got rid of jamestown,
He is so accommodating that he
could not refuse the people.
Col. Joseph f. Willard, another
member of the State Corporation
Commission, who was also a candi
date for the nomination in the last
election, inclines to the belief that
the people of the State should select
a young man for Governor. He
knows no better man for the posi-
tin than the gentleman who foot.
