LETTER TO D. N. KIRBY,
Palatka, Florida

Dear Sir: They're glad they found
out Devoe.
Corpus Christi, Texas, is right on
the Gulf and one of the hardest cli-
mates for paint; hot sun, sait'&ir, and
strong wirds.
The Sidblry Building, painted De-
voc in 1899, is shining example of
perfect paint snow-white after 4
years, as if painted last week.
We should like every property
owner from Maine to Mexico to see
that white white white.
Experience teaches who wants to
learn as well as who waits to be
kicked.
Yours truly,
"a FW DEVOE & co.

he found il worth while TO make some eKplora-
tons and to become acquainted with the coun-
try. The result Is book which really carries
us into the atmosphere OF Newfoundland.
Mr.. Miais is, in fact careful OF the human
elements in his subject that we are hardly in
clined to pause upon his stories of stays pur-
sued and killed These tales are spirited and
sometimes are hit Off with a touch OF hunor
but readily turn from them TO his illustra-
tons OF Newfoundland types and manners.
Early in the book he has good anecdote of
hunters superstition. One of his guides OBJ

This sort of thing serves admirably to fresben
the familiar accounts of animals destroyed The
author never tires of bringing in the humors of
the natives. Speaking. for example, of the Gus
tom in the country of very accurately dividing
the spoil of hunt when there are several men
to dispute its possession. he recalls the story of
ship which wrecked in Fortune BAY some
eighty years ago. The crews of two boats laid
claim to the cottage piano which was found on
board an instrument which no one in the com
pany had ever seen before. The matter was
eventually settled by its being sawn in two
pieces. one party taking the treble and the other
