That Congress create for him the
office of prime minister of the United

That he be elected United States

That he be chosen President OF
Harvard University.
That he be invited to fill one OF
the seats in the Senate belonging to
his native State.
That he become either the mayor
or the police commissioner of New

That he retire to a farm, after the
fashion of Cincinnatus, and lead a
simple life.
That he 60 around the world, re-
turning few months before the Ma

Deer Sir: Some people get disappointed
in painting; it doesn't come out as they
thought IL would.
q. B. Edwards, of Edwards s. Brough-
ton, printers, Raleigh, N. c., painted his
house Devoe three years ago; he had
used 80 gallons paste paint before and
bought 80 gallons Devoe. Had 10 left.
Paste paint is extra thick--with white
wash.
Mayor w. w. Carroll, Monticello, Flor
ida, says: My painter said it would take
35 gallons to paint my house; it took 20
gallons Devoe. His house is the best
paint job in town; and he says Devoe is
the whitest of all white paints.
Jones & Rodgers bought gallons De-
voc to prime Mr.. Pratt's house at Mer-
kel, Texas. 1t painted two coats.
The reason for nobody guessing little
enough Devoe is: they learned in bad
school; other paints.

Speaker Cannon Is n Years Old.

Washington, May 9.--Speaker
Cannon, who was born in North Ca
rolina, was II years old on the 7th
instant. The Speaker is at his home
in Danville, Illinois, and plans to
pass the greater part of the summer
there in quiet, with perhaps an occa-
sional visit to Washington to attend
to business in connection with the
House of Representatives office
building, now nearing completion.
In connection with Mr.. Cannon's
birthday it is interesting to note
that if he lives to the end of his
present term he will have served
81 years, and thereby established a
new record for the longest service in
Congress. The longest service was
that of the late John H. Ketcham,
Of New York, who served 33 years
and was a member when he died.
Of the Congressman who have served
since the foundation of this govern
ment more than 10000 individuals,
only 81 have served 20 years or
more.

Success.

A Kansas woman, Mrs. A. j.
Stanley, of Lincoln, has been awarded
a prize of $3.50 by Boston firm for
the best answer to the question,
"What constitutes success ?" She
wrote:
"He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect
of intelligent "men and the love of
little children; who has filed his.
niche and accomplished his task !;
who has left the world better than
he found it, whether by an improved
poppy, perfect poem or rescued
soul; who has never lacked appre-
citation of earth's beauty or failed to
express it who has always looked
for the best in others and given the
best be had; whose life was an in
spiration whose memory benedic-
tion."
If any better definition of success
has ever been given we have not
seen it. And yet there are men and
women whom many of us look upon
az having achieved success who do
not at all fit the description Eere
