letter To Lewis Lumber Company
Welsh. Louisiana

Dear SirS: What is lumber worth?
Depends Onthe lumber, you say
what sort do you want?'
That's how some people talk about
paint. They ask: "What'll Won
paint my house for?"
The yankee answer is: "How do
you want it painted? One coat? two
coats? three coats? frst-claSs or
cheap"
The proper answer is; ~ want the
best paint put on as it ought TO be-"
That's DevOe: but the usual answer
is: 81 want a good Job; but | want it
cheap" Which means: want you to
paint it for nothing. | want to be
fooled.
Lead-and.Oil is the costliest paint
there is: not the best: it used to he
best. Devoe is best, since zinc came
in: Devoe led-and.zinc.
Zinc toughens the lead and doubles
its wear.
Zinc costs no more than lead; and
we grind by machinery.
We have no patent on zinc; but no.
body else Us treating it right. DevOe

REWARDED FOR
HIS SERVICES
Railroad EmpIOye Received S.
Check for Saving TraIn-WiI|
Have Ii Framed.

That large corporations are open
hearted and appreciate good and
noble acts was shown yesterday when
Frank Severns, a switchman and tel
egraph operator in the employ of the
Central railroad, received a check
for s. from the Pennsylvania rail-
road and note of thanks for the
saving of a passenger train a few
weeks ago.
Severns, as told in the NEWS at
the time, was on his way to work at
w. X. tower one night when he found
a telegraph pole across the p. r. R.
tracks where the Central railroad
crosses. He managed to stop the local
train by waving his lantern.
Railroadmen figure cut that if the
engine had hit the pole with the
force that it was coming it would not
only have wrecked the engine, but
many of the passengers would have
been injured. Report has it that Mr.
Severns will frame the check and
hang it in the tower where it can be
seen by all who enter. This is con-
sidered mighty small reward for
saving train loaded with people.
