LETTER TO T. P. GOODWIN

Dear Sir: The cheap paint you buy
is the one that covers more than you
think; the cheap one to wear is the
one that is young when old.
Mrs. Moore, as Kelsey, N. Y. bought
l6 gallons of Devoe to paint her house
two coats; her painters said it would
take that. Had six gallons left.
Mr.. James Ackley's house in Carlo,
N. Y, was painted Devoo; it wore IA
years; and the paint was in good con
dition then. He was going to paint
il the last we knew. That's the way
to preserve a house; repaint it when
there is no occasion.
Yours Truly,
f. w. Devoe a. Go.
i. S.-Robinson Bros. sell our paint.

Meet After a Separa.
ton of As Years.

Huntington Dispatch.
After the passing of about As
years. duration, long time it
would seem to the average youth
there was meeting of one ofthe
younger men on the repertorial
staff ofthe Dispatch and an.aged
BUcHecounty citizen down at the
County Court House the other
day which to them, at least, was
rather an interesting incident.
Luke Adkins was the Boone
county man. He was one of the
victims of the alleged John Mea-
dor, the noted pension crook,
who was sent to the pen by Judge
Mcdowell. The Dispatch repor-
ter was interviewing the witness
in the Meador case and, approch-
ing the Boone county man, ask
ed his name. "Luke Adkins"
was the reply. The name was in
stantly remembered by the repor-
ter aud after a good look at the
man he was recognized as the
same Luke Adkins, known by
the reporter IN 1861, when he
the reporter-was not more than
forty years old himself.
Adkins was a Union man at
the opening of the war of the re-
bellion and refugeed in Gallia
county, o., in company with the
late Rev. Robert Hager, where
the latter had brother residing
and it was there that he was met
by the one who recogniz. ID him at
their meeting the other day. He
is now past 20, but was not yet
old enough to have learned some
of the worlds ways, especially
those of pension attorney John
Meador.

A Good Story
From Texas.

Here is a sample of the richness
of the soil down in Texas. We
clip the following item from a pa
per published down there.
Last Friday the writer passed by
the home of Harry Bullbrook and
noticed him diligently pokine his
finger around in a box of rich al
Inv al dirt which looked for the
world like it might have been dug
from the valley of the Nile. but
Harry assured us on his word of
honor that it hadn't. The dirt
came from his fine farm southwest
IF town, and he was going to use
to fertilizs his bed of Jonny-
lumpnps and Sweet Williams.
This lard is so rich Harry oanit
10 any good at all raising pump.
kins on it. because the vines grow
so fast they drag the young pump
kins to death in two or three days.
This dirt fooled Henry bad the
fret time he went out there, but he
knows better now. He was stand-
ing around on one foot like lame
gander in the sun when he soon
discovered the leg he was standing
On had grown about three inches
longer than the other. He was
puzzled as to how to remedy suoh
an unfortunate defect, when it was
sugg. sted that he stand on the
other leg until they both became
the same length. He tried the
remedy and it worked like a charm,
but when he is pyroutting around
IN that land now he is very oare-
ful to keep both feet on the
ground at the same time.

Washington, D. O., April a.
Partial success has attended the
efforts of the surgeons to restore

undergone several minor opera.
tions since. and when the banda

could see family,
The surgeons today declared

suits of the operation. They say
that if Mr.. Heinard's sight oontin
ues to grow stronger. as it has done
lately, he will be able within year
to walk about without an attend

dreamed that I dwelt ah isle of cracked ice,
In the midst of a lake Of champagne,
Where bloomed the mint julep in meadows of green,
Amid showers of lithia rain.
recined on dvan of lager beer foam,
With pillow of froth for my head,
While the spray from fountain of sparkling gin izz
Descended like dew my head,
From far-away mountains Of crystalineice
A zephyr, refreshing and cool,
Came waiting the incense OF sweet muscated
That sparkled in many apool.
My senses were soothed by the soft, purling song
Ola brooI1let of pousse cafe,
That ripyled along over pebbles of snow,
To river of absinthe frappe.
Then, ulled by the music of linking glass
From the schooners thai eaneed on the deep,
sIdreatniiy sipped high BAN two
And languidly foated to sleep.
And than awoke a bed full of rocks,
With bolster as hard as a brick;
wrench my neck, rack in my head,
And stomach detestably sick,
With sand in my eyes and grit in my throat,
Where the taste ofast evening clung,
And felt bath towel stuffed into my mouth,
Which afterward found was my tongue.
And groped for the thread of the evening before,
In mystifed maze of my brain,
Until great light burst upon me last.

DOG GONE KANSAS.
How a Texas Editors Dream of Joy
Was Broken by Kansas Cold
Wave.

Wave.
Wasn't yesterday a joyl
Sunshiny as a brides face an
sweet as baby fresh from the
bath.
1t wasn'ta spring day for there
was a lingering feel of frost, but
there was a challenge of spring in
the smell of the air. You could
almost hear the sap starting in
the peach trees, and the mother
rose seemed to be trying to pro-
claim the borning bad.
The housewife went out and
looked at the sweet peas and hum
med a song under her breath.
The farmer man examined his
seed corn and whlstled tune.
The small boy tarried by the
window of the sporting store and
examined the fishing tackle.
The weather wise had predict
ed rain, and therein soaked, mud
be-spatted people who are early
in bed went to sleep frowning.
The dry goods man groaned and
the millinel wished she were a
man SO she could say what she
wished. Only the shoe man
chuckled aud wished he had a
bigger stock of rubbers. The
school children were glad and
wished for a saaker to keep them
at home. The all-nighter knew
better. He had got home in the
wee small hours with a clear
moon and bright stars lighting
his wobbly way.
When the folks walked up 1t
was little cloudy, the day SEEM
ed doomed. Breakfast glum and
sour. The biscuits were soggy,
and the coffee was droggy and
the milk was sour. 1t was all
slush and bad words getting to
the cars.
Then the miracles.
The sun climbed over the fog
bank in the east and it was re-
solved into sweet vapors. The
washerwoman hung out the
clothes, the rooster crowed and
the dog chased his fail. The
housewife turned the hose on the
front steps and let the FIRE in the
crate die down. The bird sang
and the whole of creation thrilled
Down town the dry goods mer.
chant grinned. The milliner put
away the winter hats marked
down and brought out the spring
confections marked up. The shoe
man threw the rubbers in boz
and put spring slippers in boz
. and put spring slippers in th'
show window. The butcher tele
phoned to the packing house fol
lamb and wondered where h,
could find some mint. The ha
berdasher got out his ties ant
white vests and the tailor tacket
up his spring style sheet.
A young lady came tripping
along and the clerks got bus
