ANAAAAOOOAS w AOs
-Dear Sir: You know something
about the value Of paint around a
farm. It's sign of thrift as well as
q protection to property. The better
the paint, the greater the thrift and
the protection. -
A farmer near Whitewater, Wis,
was going to paint his house; and it
required 818.75 worth of lead and oil to
do it. Our agent, G. w. Sperbeck,
sold him Devoe lead-and zinc Paint;
ten gallons cost him $1,000 and he had
q gallon left; net cost: GA. 40 for Devoe
paint against $18.75 for lead and oil.
He was so pleased with the Job and
the saving that he told all his nigh
bors about it; and they have since
painted with Devoe lead-and-zinc
Paint.
You see what thrift and protection
mean when they're Devoe.
Yours truly,
T. w. DEvOE s. Co.
New York and Chicago.
P. s. A. a. Kleberg sells our paint.

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such varied and useless lot Of
remedies have been suggested. To
say that it can be cured is, therefore,
a bold statement to make, but
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which
enjoys an extensive sale, has met with
great success in the treatment Of this
disease. One application OF Pain
Balm will relieve the pain, and hun.
dreds Of sufferers have testified to
permanent cures by it's use. Why
suffer when Pain Balm affords such
quick relief and costs but a trifle? For
sale by John E. Daily druggist.

SPRING LINES

There's no use now talking
Spring time has come at last,
The birds will soon be singin'
For the winters storms are past.
There's no way gettin' round it;
I know what I'm about.
Old Wisconsin will soon be rOarin',
For the ice must soon 60 out.
But the spring lines how some ever
Are ag'in me and my talks,
For the ground hog got the sunshine
Where the chicken got the Ak.
An away back in November,
Fore the SHOWS began to fall,
The musk rats built their houses
In the marshes good an tall.
This las line alone's hummer!
You can always bet your dough
That we'll have long cold winter
An March chuck full! of snow.
An las fall when we was huskin',
Raslin' with the yellow shocks,
We could see the wild ducks flynn
Way down south in great big flockS.
Some years the husks is plenty
And some years there's hardly none
But last fall Pm here to tell you,
They was plenty-sure s gun!
But tell you springs comm,
My old line has told me that,
The boys is playin' marbles,
An I'm glad, tell you what!
1t may be in the schoolyard-,
An it may be on tie walk
You can see the youngsters scramble
Round line made out o'chalk.
1t may be in the mornins'
An like as not at moons,
You can hear their cherry "dubs"
am
These boistrons little coonS.
"No "klssins" an mo hunchin"-,
/ can hear these urchins say
Consarn their little pictures
How / love to watch 'em play,
Th cir brownies an their shooters
Are the main things in their min.
Tho they rifle me with their racket.
1 will still jist treat them kind.
For they 'waken In my memory
Thoughts of other years now DONE,
When lad much like my own boy,
Played his marbles in the sun.
1 have cast off winter stockin's
Winter coat an heavy boots,
For the birds will soon be singin',
'Mong the flowers tender shoots.
] have put away the coal hod.
For expect no freezin' wind
An so sure am of spring time
I have had my whiSkers trimmed.
Yes know that spring is comm
Yes I'm sure, just hear me talk,
For the boys are playin' marbles
In chalk ring on the walk.

CHILD NEARLY BROWNS

The seven year old son Of Earnest
Saeger of the west side, had narrow
escape Friday from drowning. While
playing with a number of boys on the
edge of the creek. the little fellow lost
his balance and fell into the water.
The stream was running quite
rapidly and soon he was carried out OF
the shallow into the deeper water.
Mr.. Kruger, a delivery man for Gross
& Lyons, happened to come along just
in time to see the plight of the child,
and without losing any time he
plunged into the water, and after
wading out to point where the child
was being carried, caught him and
pulled him out. The little fellow was
quite i'll for about twenty-four hours,
but has since recovered and will
probably be none the worse for his
remarkable experience.
