Indian Discipline

AS an evidence of Indian discipline
over their children the entertainment
they gave here few days ago showed
that reverence for their chiefs could
hold even the youngsters in line. A
number of travelling men on the front
seats scattered nickels on the stage,
and the little fellows who were ranged
in a line on the back Of the stage in
front of their mothers scrambled for
money. But no matter how many
coins were thrown while the old
chiefs were making their talks, not
a move was made by the pappooses
until the talk was finished then there
was a general scramble until the
money was all collected.-Pierre Cor.

Missionary Tea.

The ladies of the First Baptist church
served a missionary tea at the parsonage
last Friday afternoon. 1t was a day in
the dark continent.and the house was
appr opriately decorated with the Afri-
can color. The guests were welcomed
at the door by mattresses, subdued,
trained and imported for the occasion.
The program was very interesting and
instructive. The browning event was
the elegant supper. The tables looked
very much American with its salads,
fried chicken, jellies and all those good
things that make us think of mother,
home and native land.

Dear Sir: Would you like to hear Of
20 year paintP
Mr. James O'Neil's house, Hender-
son, G., was painted 20 years ago
with Devoe lead. and zinc, and never
painted again till last year; it then
looked better than common paint in
half that tine.
The reason is: Devoe is all paint and
true paint; while the common paints
are part true and part false. Don't
pay to monkey with paint.
And Devoe costs less than any OF
'em; not by the gallon, of course, by
the house and year. That's how to
reckon IL. Go by the name.
