Letter to Mr.. Vim. Hooper.
NEKOOSA. WIS.

Dear Sir: If you could get the ex-
elusive sale Of a sweeter sugar for five
miles round-4 pound as sweet as a
pound of usual sugar, and cost no
more you'd jump at it, wouldn't you?
There wouldn't be 100 10. of any
other sugar sold in year in your
town: you'd gobble the trade: and it
wouldn't hurt your whole business.
Devoe is like that among paint: it
is twice as sweet as some: it is sweeter
than any: not one exception; one gal
lon is two or One-and-a-half or one
nd-three-quarters.
Better than that: paint has to be
painted: that costs 81 to 81 a gallon.
a gallon saved is 81 to 81 saved in la
| Dor, besides the paint.
Even that isn't all. A gallon Deyoe
put-on wears as long as two gallons
put-on at a cost of 81 to 81 a gallon
and two gallons more put-on at 81 tC
81 a gallon. Count. all that. The
paint that wears double costs less by
three gallons of paint and three gal
Ions of painting; that's about SIS
gallon for those superfiuous gallons.
That's as sweet as a dOuble-SWeei
sugar, isn't it?
Yours truly
f. W. DEvOE s. Co.

AN OLD ELM.

Charles A. Brown IS authority for
the tradition that the immense elm
tree which stands on Plaintield
street, opposite his residence. and is
the largest elm growing within the
limits of Providence, had its origin
in a peculiar If not unique manner.
In the days Of the Revolution when
slaves were commonly held by the
well-to-do farmers, one of these col
ored men living at the Brown farm
cut down a small elm tree and used
