groom said
"Waal, then, we're ready; 60

"But you'll have to secure two
witnesses, smilingly observed
the clerk and justice, "oefore I

less, he was convinced IN a mo-

indispensable one, and according.

D ar Sir: Lead and.oil is not
good paint; don't wear; the rule
is, a. every one knows, repalntln
1hroe years.
Devoe lasts six, IN the same
way allow wide margin in all
such statements. What does 1t
mean, to last? 1t means the
same with both.
AS to covering; that's another.
Here 5 an instance.
Mr J. j. Hall, Sheffield, Pa,
painted two houses, lead-and.oil,
took 40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons
Devoe for the same two houses;
returned 10 gallons.
Ihe paint, that covers, lasts;
it's all paint, true paint, and full.

wants zinc. Better paint Devoe.

After a few moments he began slow

vehement seedlings of my life.
These little red squirrels are a little
smaller than the same species known
In the southern part Of the State. They
grow bold about the camps and will of,
ten enter a log cabin or tent and steal
fried cakes, pieces Of bread and other
dainties from pans and dishes on the
table. In seasons when there is a
heavy mast or plenty of beech nuts,
etc, they are very numerous and never
fail to enliYen the deep silence and aw-
full solemnity Of the great woods.

INTERESTING LITTLE ANIMALS,
The Red Squirrel is Utterly Devoid
of Fear of Man.

The Red Squirrel is Utterly Devoid
of Fear of Man.
Among the many interesting smaller
animals which inhabit the northern
parts Of Michigan, especially the upper
peninsula, is the red squirrel, sciurus
hudsonicus, which little red scamp Is
often alluded to as the northern bushy-
tail.
Some seasons he is very numerous
and makes himself conspicuous at ey-
cry turn of the road. He scamperS up
trees, jumps upon logs and tears along
over the dry leaves, making as much
noise as running deer, and is a
saucy little chap.
Many times one of these red rogues
has come so close to me while I was
quietly sitting on some log watching
for deer that 1 could have reached out
and touched him with my hand pro-
vided l could have done it quick
enough, says a writer in the Detroit
Free Press.
They seem to be utterly devoid of
fear Of man and will scold and chat
ter at you from some nearby branch
of a tree for half an hour at time.
One day while 1 was watching
deer runway and sitting on a fallen
tree in the cover of the woods a bold
red squirrel came scampering along
over the dry leaves, making such a
noise that he almost precipitated a
hysterical evolutionary movement on
my part for fear that, after all the
deer I was watching for had actually
come SO close to me and gotten out
Of range before I could see it long
enough to shoot at it.
What was my surprise a moment la
ter to see the little rascal that had
been the disturber of my peace cooIIy

Good Roads Laws.

Good roads is a question that inter
ests every community, but not all COM
munities alike. Some sections Of the
country are well supplied with stone
and gravel, while others are not Some
soils make good roads with very little
trouble, while it is almost impossible
to make a satisfactory road on soil in
the next county. In the Eastern States
some form Of State and county assist
arce is generally recognized. The New
York State law provides that the State
shall pay one-half the cost Of improy-
ing the public highways. The county
is taxed for So per cent and the indi-
yidual owning the abutting property is
required to pay the other Is per cent.
SO far this law works very we'll, but In
some instances politicians have sue
ceeded in getting contracts for their
friends for very expensive road i'm
prOYement. Some Of these contracts
have been let for as much as 5000 per
mile, and the roads when finished, al
though good, are by no means worth
the money. 1t is generally supposed
that the politicians get a 'rake-off, I"
otherwise they would hardly exert the
amount of energy required to put
through one Of these expensive jobs.
1t is difficult to devise a law that will
circumvent dishonest work. 1t is easy
to provide straightforward laws that
mean all right, but the difficulty comes
In executing them when selfish individ-
ual interests are at stake.-Farm, Field
