Letter TO B. E. Potter
Milford. Del.

Dear Sir Here's a tale with three ol
four tails to it.
Professor Irvine has an Academy,
Mercersburg, Penn. He paints the
floors in summer vacation. 1t used to
take 80 gallons of paint. There were
two paint stores there, and he used to
buy zone year OF one, next year Of the
other so gallons year after year. -
Now he paints Devoe; go gallons; and
the difference is saving Of $3.50 year.
H. q. Fallon was one Of those deal.
ers, good man; but he wouldn't take
up DevOe; so we turned to the other, J.
A. Boyd. But FallOn has found it
necessary to get a good paint to com.
pete with DevOe. He got one Of the
eight honest paints. He has a big
hardware store and is doing an excel.
lent hardwar business but Boyd, OF
course, has the run on paiHt-he's lit
tie hardware man.
We don't care how little or big q
man is, if he wants good paint and is
active and sound.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE d Co.,

Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1906-02-02

A well-known clergyman was telling
his Sunday school class the story Of
the prodigal son, and wishing to en-
phasize the disagreeable attitude Of
the elder brother on that occasion, he
laid special stress on this phase Of
the parable, After describing the re-
joicing of the household over the re-
turn of the wayward son, he spoke of
one who, in the midst Of festivities,
failed to share in the jubilant spirit of
the occasion.
Can any one in the class" he asked,
tell me who this was?"
A small boy who had been listening
sympathetically to the story, put up
his hand.
81 know" he said, beamingly, at
was the fatted calf."-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Foundation of Mark Twain's Fortune

Mark Twain says that in his earlier
days he did not enjoy the exceptional
prosperity which came later in his ca
reer. 1t is commonly the lot of genius
to suffer neglect at first and expert
ence did not affect his abiding good
nature. In a conversation with Will
liam Dean Howells on one occasion the
subject of literature vicissitudes was
broached by the humorist.
my difficulties taught me some
thrift" he observed But l never
knew whether it was wiser to spend
my last nickel for a cigar to smoke or
for an apple to devour."
II am astounded," observed Mr..
Howells, that person of so little
decision should meet with so much
worldly success"
Mark Twain nodded very gravely.
"Indecision about spending money"
he said, ''is worthy of cultivation
When l couldn't decide what to buy
with my last nickel l kept it, and so
became rich"
