Quattlebaum and Cochran. The plain
tiff, NJ. E. Allen, the photographer, al
leges that DR.. A. P. Johnstone, the dem
tist, did not use proper care and skill
In treating his little son, Cecil, aged
about seven years, in case Of tooth
ache and consequently he was caused
great suffering and has lost several
other teeth and that one Of his jaws
has been injured to a great extent. The
complaint alleges that DR.. Johnstone
did not extract the roots Of the aching
tooth and that afterwards he lanced
the jaw with an ordinary pocket knife
instead of using a proper dental in
strument. 1t seems that the child had
to be taken to a hospital In Columbia
for treatment and that he underwent
great suffering and inconvenience. The
complaint asks damages for the plain
tiff in the sum Of $4,000. Defendants
attorneys have answered the COM
plant, denying each and every allega-
ton. The case will probably come up
at the approaching term of the court
and will attract no little attention as
the suit Is rather a novel one in this
section of the country.

Letter to w { Ferguson,

Dear Sir: You may like to know what
you pay for the paint in a gallon Of
paint" assuming the pure-paint part
Of all paints" to be all alike. which
II isn't; and worth $1.75 gallon.
OF a paint adulterated 10 per cent,
the pure paint part brings $1.94 gal
lon
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-10-05

The average adulteration Of paint in
this country is about one-third; so
you see, the average price the Ameri-
can people are paying for paint is
about 1882 a gallon.
It is a game of wits. Adulterators
are always too sharp for the bulk OF
consumers. People won't pay $1.75 q
gallon for paint. So they pay $2.62 a
gallon for paint and something that
looks like paint mixed with 1t. (They
pay the painter, besides, from 81 to
81 for painting those useless gallons.)
Why do they do 1t? They don't know
Deyoe Yours truly
IS F w DEVOE & CO

ADMITTED

PAINT YOUR HOUSE with DEvoE
PAINT and you will have a job that
will stay with you. After all has been
said by dealers selling other Paints
II finally comes back to the point
where you will be ready to admit the
truth Of the claim that DEvOE Paint
is the BEST to buy and the BEST to
use. 1t has times without number
nroven itself to be the paint that goes
further and lasts longer than all other
paints. II 1t goes further gallon for
gallon than other paints-and 1t does
and lasts longer-and 1t does-isn't
that evidence enough to convince you
that DEVOE Is the paint for you to
use when you paint your buildings.
DEVOE paint Is sold all over the
United States and the same story Is
told everywhere. II goes further-it
lasts longer.
1t is not as good as some paints for
the dealer and the painter-It lasts
too lona-it's not a good paint for the
uainter-it makes the time too long
between jobs. Good for the buyer.

LABoR'S INFLUENCE.
In Congress It Is Simply Less Than
Nothing at All.

Writing in a reminiscent vein for his
little paper, The Independent, pub
lished at Flushing, William McCabe,
the veteran union printer, relates the
incident of a speech made by Con-
gresham Sulzer at the dollar dinner"
in Terrace Garden six years ago.
The congressman was at that time
an independent in Tammany Hall; he
had done something or other which
commended him to labor and had
been Invited to the dinner to deliver
an address. He had received the in
vitation at Washington and had ac-
cepted without knowing the toast to
which he was to respond He arrived
at the dinner late in the evening not
a half hour before he was to speak.
Mr. Sulzer had been billed to re-
spond to the toast, 1.-THE Influence of
Labor in Congress-" After few pre-
liminary remarks he told his audience
that, until he came into the hall, he
was ignorant of the subject upon
which he was to speak and had felt
somewhat uneasy lest it should be one
in which he would not be able to do
justice to himself or the friends be-
fore him But" he continued, Il am
glad to see that. L have been assigned
to toast that can dispose of in a
minute. The Influence of Labor in
Congress will tell you candidly that
labor has no influence in congress. In

THE ISLAND OF PATMOS.
Where st. John, the Beloved, Wrote
His Revelations.

| The isles of Greece where burning
Sappho loved and sung" are forever
reappearing in history. Just the other
day ii was the ancient Lesbos, called
! in modern times by the name Of its
old-time capital, Mitylene, at which
the allied fleets of Chrstendom
planned to make demonstration
against the Turk fractional fights be-
tween the sympathizers of the Sultan
and the Greek patriots in Crete every
few months threaten to make the
haunt Of the Minotaur the scene Of
international complications. Samos
has been In the lmelight several times
since the Greek war for independence.
and the investigations of European
and American psychologists In Delos,
Aegina and Euboea have kept these
Islands in the public eye. Very few,
in fact, Of the members of the Grecian
archipelago. barren and untenanted
though they are. have entirely drifted
out of notice.
Even the least known Of them all
in antiquity, hardly mentioned by the
prehistoric writer. but made famous by
the visions of the best loved of the
apostles, Patmos, is frequently famil-
larly spoken of, though seldom visited.

Great and small humble and grand.
ratheirals, churches and chapels, they
cover a period of history extending
from the day when the conversion of
Constantine made Christianity the Off
rial religion of civilization down to the
present time. At one end stands the
little chapel built by the piety of the
simple fishermen of Patmos above the
cave where st. John passed the long
davs of his banishment from the main
land of Asia Minor. At the other are
the central arch and the columns OF
the Cathedral of 81. John the Divine,
now being erected AT the cost of a
and patient toll. The contrast between
the capital of the new world and the
barren island In the Grecian archipel

eth century and the provincial village
Of the Roman empire. Is typitied by the
unllkeness of the two structures.

little island Of Patmos Is still IL he

RUSSIA WILL BRAND COWARDS.
Officers Who Surrendered Without
Cause To Be Disgraced.

st. Petersburg, Feb. %. - Unprece-
dented regulations to purge the army OF
officers accused of cowardice and sur
rendering during the war for no reason
able cause were announced today by
the military organ, the Russky Invalid.
Captive officers returning from Japan
will, unless they were wounded when
captured be tried before courts of
honor, and unless reinstated by the
unanimous decision of their fellow
officers, will be dismissed in disgrace.
Commissions, frequent excuse for
surrender, will not be accepted.
The higher officers who were respon-
sible for the surrender of their organ
izations must secure vindication from
a court of honor and the minister OF
war. Such cases will be submitted to
the emperor individually.
The troops which composed the gar
rison at Port Arthur are exempt from
these provisions, the responsibility for
the surrender of that fortress falling
upon General Stoessel.

early life Of the world.
Beauty was a good daughter and
brave woman. Her father lost his for
tune and she set herself to serve him.
When prosperity promised to return to
him, she begged a gift Of roses rather
than Of Jewels or laces- When he
again fell into trial, was captured by
the Beast and forced to promise one
Of his daughters as a ransom, Beauty
at once offered herself as the sacri-
f1ce
In the palace Of the Beast, surround
ed by every luxury, but not knowing
what fate awaited her, she never for
got her old father, dreamed Of him
nightly, and at last begged leave to go
to see him and return. Although she
was persuaded to stay a week beyond
her leave, she came back Loyalty to the
palace of the Beast The poor crea-
ture was halfdead Of grief for what
he believed to be her loss, and the
sight Of his pain and his delight gave
her courage to avow her recognition OF
his noble qualities, her love for him,
and her resolve TO be his wife In spite
of his hideous exterior.
Instantly the Beast was transformed
into a handsome young price, freed
from an evil charm by the devotion OF
the brave woman, and Beauty and the
prince came into their just Inheritance
Of JOY and peace.
The symbolism of the myth has a
profound truth. The Beauty who would
work a charm upon the Beast in man
to-day must also possess the simplicity
which prefers the rose to the dia-
mond the industry which does not fear
poverty, the filial loyalty which will
not finch from dangerous duty, the in
tuition which sees the great heart with
the ugly form, and the courage which
dares all for love-
When the woman Of to-day and to-
morrow has all these powers at her
call, we shall see. not the hideous mod
ern parody Of Beauty and the Beast,
but the perennial repetition Of the love
ly old story in which, led through trials
by brave and virtuous woman, they
all' live happy ever after.-Youth's
