The papers i.' the case were signed by F. II. PIummcr ct al. Mr. Hummer is the editor and manager of the Morning Courier of this city. MT.

to be in court. He arrived from Willis
ton Friday but did not reach the court
room until just after sentence had been
pronounced. He took the matter calmly
and had little to say to his wife.
Lena did not receive as severe a SEN
tence as that given 10 Joseph Bernhard
with whom she was arrested, having six
months less to serve. They Will b3tn be
taken to Windsor tomorrow. Lena had
been married but a short time when the
trouble with her father-in-law came about

warned that his actions would lead to
trouble, he did not desist and his arrest

LETTER TO NELSON DERO,
Burlington,

Dear Sir: You know. diamonds don't
SO 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 -four to one.
You know it is true in diamonds; they
don't sc by the gallon, do they?
If you're going to paint your house,
yor go first to Your painter and say:
I'm going to paint; do you want the
job? and what'l 1t cost?'
If he happens to know, he'll say:
Depends on the paint. can do it for
somewhere about $40 or 500, whichever
you like: $lN will make a good job; 500
a poor one"
And you. IL you happen TO have your
wits, IL say: I'm take the good one,
when'll you do IT,
Painters ought, all, to know abou,
paint; and jewelers. ought to be able
to get a good job. We do what we car
to help both.
One gallon Devoe is better thar two
of average paint. goes as far--that is,
your house will take about 20 gallons
Devoe and 40 of average paint-and Devoe
will wear a long time; the life of average
paint is very merriam, IL may ne u year,
It may be five.
Why is it that painters don't know
bou paint? 20 jewelers. know about dla-
monds? They know more than they tel
sometimes, There are painters and pain
tiers: so there are jewelers.: so there is
paint. and the least-gallons paint is
Devoe.
Yours truly
