Letter to Chas. F. Denny,

Penn's Grove, N. ].
Dear Sir: The way to reckon the cost
of paint is to put both costs together: the
cost of the paint and the cost of putting
it on.
1t would save this country hundreds OF
millions OF dollars a year; it would save
you alone (if you happen to be a victim)
several dollars a year.
See how it works. 1t costs as much to
put-on one paint as another, don't 1t?
Yes, if you use the same number OF
gallons,
Well, don't /?
No, you'll use twice as many gallons OF
adulterated paint as of Devoe: and you've
got to pay twice as much for putting it on.
Mr.. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y. has two
houses alike and in same condition.
Painted one house with Devoe, 6gallons.
Painted the other house with a paint that
was half adulteraton: II gallons. Same
painter, Geo Gilbert, did both jobs. One
costs $27; the other $5T.
Better go by the name.
Yours truly,
IL F. w. DEvoE q Co.

Scott Robinson Paid For Peanuts,

Everybody called Scott Robinson
"Burr Robins in those days, and Scott
tried his best to live up to his circus
name. He was gay young dog, and
being the cub in printing office he had
all sorts OF comps and could take his
best girls to all the circuses and
theatres that came along-and sorry to
relate he could just about take his pick
of the fair ones too.
So dear to the girlish heart was the
tinsel of the show, the excitement of
the drama, that even serious affairs of
the heart didn't weigh with the "comps'
that Burr could swing and he abused
his power by cutting out every one of
the boys in succession.
The Great London World Famous
Menagerie and Circus and Colossal
Aggregation of Stupendous, ETC., etc.,
was billed for Leon about the time Scott
had made the rounds of the circle of
girls twice and was starting again so,
circus night, donning his skin tight
trousers, he rubbed his high heeled
boots with stove polish and hiked after
a new girl good and early so as to take
in the animal show and get front seat
in the circus tent before the grand
entry was pulled off. He wouldn't have
missed his money if peanut fakir
hadn't insisted on presenting the young
lady with a bag of Oriental gilt top
peanuts in a balloon sack-"FREE!
FREE!' said the circus man, and Scott
and his girl rioted in the free snap and
threw shells at the monkeys. But after
the package had about disappeared Mr..
Peanut man demanded pay-and Scott
didn't have cent. 1t was distress
ing dilemma that. Should he leave the
girl and cut and run or throw himself
on the peanut vendors mercy? The
stern glitter in the con mans eye warn
ed him that danger lay in either of
these solutions, and wild thoughts of
compromising with the creditor and
leaving his silver turn p of watch in
settlement came over him. If George
Hurst hadn't bumped along just then it's
likely that Burr would have ducked un-
der the tent and made a run for tall
timber. AS it was he grabbed George
and pulling him to one side gasped
''Pay the man." indicating the peanut
butcher, and hurried the girl out of
hearing. George stepped up and asked
how much the bill was, and the peanut
merchant said in a cold convincing tone
"Dollar nd half" Well dollar and a
half was rather stiff pull on Georges
finances, but he finally dug up and paid
the claim.
The next morning when Burr learned
how much that bag of peanuts was 60
ing to cost him he proposed to repudi.
ate, but George showed him that the
cards laid wrong for that and advised
him to dig up at once or the girls would
all get the serial free and in lumn
So Scott dug and enjoys to this day the
distinction of topping the record il
Leon for bag of raw peanuts.

No More Feathers on Iowa Wo
mems Hats.

Some controversy having arisen over
the question whether woman may
wear any part of a bird on her hat, un-
der a law passed by the last general
assembly, an examination of the statute
as passed discloses that it is extremely
doubtful if the law will permit the
plumage, skin or body of any nongame
bird, whether native of this state or not
being worn on the hats Of ladies after
July of this year. 1t would seem that
for this Eastertide and for the time in
tervening before July a., the ladies may
wear the plumage and other portions Of
dead birds on their hats to their hearts
content, but not afterwards.
The act provides that all wild birds,
whether resident or migratory, shall
hereafter be the property of the state.
1t is provided then that mo person shall
within the state Of Iowa kill or catch or
have in his or her possession, living or
dead, any wild bird other than game
bird, or purchase, offer, or expose for
sale, transport or ship within or with
out the state, any such wild bird after
it has been killed or caught" except
that ordinary cage birds for pets, such
as parrots, canaries, etc., are not in
cluded in the inhibitions of the act SO
far as it relates to shipment, sale, etc.
1t is further provided that mo part Of
the plumage, skin or body of any bird
protected by this section shall be sold
or had in possession for sale, irrespec-
tive of whether said bird was captured
or killed within or without the state"
This language, it is taken, will stop
the millinery business so far as birds
are concerned.
The law also protects the nests of
these birds. The railroads are prohib-
tied from carrying the nongame birds,
also. Scientists may be given certifi-
Gates by the fish and game warden
which will entitle them to make collec-
tions of eggs, nests and to kill nongame
birds, but not in breeding seasons.
This certificate is not transferable.
The act especially exempts the Eng
lish sparrow, great horned owl, sharp
skinned hawk, blackbirds and crows
from protection of the law.
Violation will be punishable by fine
of So for each offense, and an additional
So fine for each extra bird, or imprison-
ment for thirty days in Jail.
The law defines the following to be
game birds:
Swan, geese, brant, river and sea
ducks, rails, coots, mud-hens, gallinules,
shore birds, plover, surf birds, snipe,
woodcock, sandpiper, tatlers, curlews,
wild turkeys, grouse, prairie chicken
pheasants, partridges and quails.
| All other species of wild birds, either
resident or migratory, except the ones
exempted are declared to be nongame
birds and the property of the state, and
their destruction prohibited under this
new law.
