LETTER TO B. s. WALES.
AIDDLEBURY, VT.


Dear Sir: You know, diamonds DOM
go by size. So with paint.
We make paint, one gallon of which
goes as far as two of another and lasts
twice as long: that's four to one.
You know it is true in diamonds they
don't go by the gallon, do they?
If you're going to paint your house,
you go first to your painter and say ;
I'm going to paint; do you want the
job! and what will it COST"
If he happens to know, he'll say:
depends on the paint. | can do it
for somewhere about 500 or 5000, which
ever you like; 300 will make a good
job; 5000 poor Le."
And you, if you happen to have your
wits, II say; "I'll take the good one,
when'll you do it,"
Painters ought, all, to know about
paint; and jewellers ought to be able to
get a good job. We do what we can to
help both.
One gallon Devoe is better than two
of average paint, goes as far-that is,
your house will take about 90 gallons
Devoe and 40 of average paint-and
Devoe VI wear long time; the life of
average pan very uncertain, it may
be fiveS
Why hat painters don't know
abou. =. Do jewellers know about
diamo dr. They know more than they
tell sometimes. There are painters and
painters; so there are Jewellers; so there
is paint, and the least-gallons paint is
Oevoe.
Yours truly,
F w DEVOE & co.
P. s. A. Calhoun & Son sell our paint.

Thus it is the honest dealer is under
sold, and this is one reason why the con-
sumner finds, when the use of hot water
bottle or syringe is most vitality needed,
that it has become disintegrated and
absolutely worthless. OF all frauds,
shoddy-rubber is the worst; it looks right,
it feels right, but in the hour of need it
may prove to be all wrong If you are
to buy rubber goods it is well that you be
sure you are dealing with one who will
handle none but the best. Never be de-
ceived by the smooth salesman who tells
you that he will replace anything that
goes bad Any reputable dealer will do
this. Is it not preferable to start right
so that you will have no occasion to ask

A M oral Wreck.

Mrs. Hetty Gree ), the richest woman
in the United States and stingest woman
in the world, excoriates fashionable
society for its sins, then says: IF my
boy Ned lived life of crime I'd give
him hypodermic myself and put him
away where there would he no chance
for disgrace" She adds that her ambi-
ton is to make this son the richest man
in America. Queer, indeed, is this
woman's ambition-quite as queer as are
her ideas of immortality.

A supreme effort to escape death from
consumption is being made by Charles
Battersby, thirty-fve years of age, of
Wrentham, Mass. He has suffered with
tuberculosis for several years, and has
tried the climate of California, Saranac
Lake, and Arizona, but none of these
places has been of any benefit to him.
Mr.. Battersby has now decided to build
house in the tops of two adjoining pine
trees on his farm, and he will spend the
winter there. Access to the treetop
home will be had by means of rope lad
der, which Battersby will pull up each
night. Fl ON his airy mansion the patient
can survey the work of his farm.

a PRINCIPLE AT STAKE.

The Standard Oil Company has
been ordered by the people Of Astoria
to take its storage tanks from out
the city within one year. This edict
comes from the whole community
through its legal agent, the common
council, and there remains nothing but
obedience or disobedience to the man
date. The law Is plain, the authority
unimpeached, the popular sanction as
sured; and the issue is strictly up
to the Standad Oil Company. There
are signs Of rebellion on every hand,
however, and all the cunning and sur
reptitious methods for which this con-
cern is famous the world over, are
beginning to work here in derogation
Of this order from the people. That
the Standard Oil is a much bigger
thing than an ordinary little city like
ASLoIld Is not 10 pc ueDated Tor an

civic corporations than this with i'm
punity and laughs at governments in

but we believe in the principle of the
government by the majority and hope
that Astoria will stick to the creed
and compel observance Of its dictum.
One Of the active curses of the day
In this country is the dominance Of
the commercial regime over the civic
power Of the land, and even so small
! lesson as is involved In this case
will have the meat and merit of a
precedent. One human life is worth

LESSON OF THE lvERNA.

II would rather be a coward on the
high seas, than a corpse on any beach
Of the world" This is the slogan OF
Captain John Collingwood, master OF
the fine British bark Iverna, who
chose to beat off and on during the
thirty-three days of tempestuous
weather that has harried this coast,
rather than run the risk of losing his
ship and his men by lowering along
a lee shore; and the lesson is strongly
patent and wholesome when viewed in
the light Of the two disasters whose
records were completed with the
beaching of the Peter Iredale and the
Galena during that same period and
in this very locality. The fact that
this was Captain Collingwood's first
trip to American waters does not de-
tract from the lesson at all, but rath-
SG dCSclltudteS IT, slilCS IL WdS d pTl-
mary principle of navigation with him
and not the issue of frequent sailing
here, nor familiarity with the coast.
And he had to contend with an evil
that did not annoy the others, a
dreadfully foul ship, straight from
the tropics, loaded to the water sur
face with tons of dragging sea-growth
that made his ship hard to handle in
the very maneuvers usually employed
in the saving of a ship we'll inshore.
1t is bit of tutelage in the science
of seamanship that may we'll be TAX
en- to heart by masters predisposed to
risk. He brought his ship into port,
trim and clean and snug, with his crew
intact, as a good navigator delights
to do and while his duty is wholly
done and he claims no atom of credit
foR it, he is, in the light of the two
unhappy events alluded to, In pos
session Of a claim his modesty has
not yet apprised him Of

The Iowa Campaign.

A battle royal is at hand
Between the peoples forces,
And those who for the railroads stand,
With all their crooked courses
The lobby bosses and their tools
Think common people are but fools,
Who need a drilling in the schools
OF falsehood's great resources.
The money despots plot and plan
To win the place of glory,
But farmers, moving to the van,
Will write another story.
We "hayseeds" WELD a power strong
When politics is going wrong;
Well change the tune of Elkins' song
To night-owl music hoary.
Old Iowa can stand alone,
Repeling all invasion;
She owes allegiance to none
But to her God and nation,
Her sons, industrious and brave.
For trusts and tyrants will not slave;
Their rights as freeman proud they
crave,
And firmly take their station.
For justice. honesty and right
We strike the corporations;
We lead our forces to the fight
'Gainst railroad combinations.
Against corruption, graft and greed
Up to the battle line we speed;
The cruel Shylocks and their creed
We hurl from all thier stations.
To crush Mephisto's railroad ring
Well raise revolution,
And ballot batteries shall sing
The knell of old pollution.
Though we behind the pillow may be,
We raise our banner, proud and free,
And when the Stars and Stripes we see
We view the constitution.
For Albert Cummins firm we stand
Thru all the roar and rattle;
He is an honor to the land,
And we will fight his battle.
Well tackle Aldrich. Ekins, Blythe,
And send them bowling from the fight,
And sweep them in disgraceful flight
From "Bosstown' to Seattle.
Then let us rally, strong and fleeet,
Corruption's hordes to tackle;
For truth shall, even in defeat,
Rend rusty chain and shackle.
We strike for Albert Cummins, boys:
He is the leader of our choice;
For him we boldly raise our voice,
And with his foes we grapple.
