REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING.

Real estate prices at BrookSide have
advanced by leaps and bounds in the
last few days. For some six weeks
past agents have been quietly getting
options on properties centering around
the Thompson store property on which
tract there is liill running up to over
800 feet in elevation and commanding
a fine view. The options have been
taken up by MI. Alexander and Brin-
ley & Holbrook have been making sur

work grading road from near the
chapel to the summit of the hill and
putting in water supply. 1t is ru-
mored that about S15, 900 is to be spent

much more valuable than they had
supposed.

Letter to C. R. Whitehead.
Morristown, N. J.


Dear Sir: You've got 200 cows: how
much will you take for calves and
milk OF leo of 'em next year-you pick
out the 100?
How much for the other 100?
The point is: cows are not all alike,
and you know which is which.
1t is SO with paint. You've got one
best COW in that herd. There are 200
different paints in the United States;
and one best. You know your best
COW: we know the best paint.
The best COW is the one that gives the
best calves and milk. The best paint
is the one that covers most surface and
stays there longest-neither paint nor
COW goes by color nobody asks wheth-
er Holstein or Jersey is better to look
at.
10 gallons Devoe & Reynolds will
cover your barn and wear 10 years; it, ii
take Is of another paint, and that
painful wear years,

10 gallons $l.75, $3.50; about 10 days
work So, $50; the job, $47.50 for ten
years; S4.75 year. The other; Is
gallons SLIGO, $24; about Is days work
So, S45; the Job, 500 for live years /:

way in which the Turkish leader had placed
his men, that this possibility had occurred to
him also, and unluckily the rolling stones that
covered the hillside left the Montenegrins no
chance of descending unheard.

Toward midnight terrific gale of wind burst

To add to their troubles, the storm, furious

began to annoy the Montenegrins with spat-
tering fire, while, by extending their line to
right and left (which their great superiority
of numbers enabled them to do), they com
pletely cut off the retreat of their enemies,
the cliff behind the latters position being too
steep even for a Montenegrin.
And now the battle began in earnest The
continued crackle of the firing, multiplied a
thousand fold by the echoes of the surround
ing hills, seemed to fill the whole air, while
through the clouds Of rolling smoke that over
hung the fatal gorge the flashes of the rifles
came thick and fast as summer lightning.
The Montenegrins had the advantage of be-
ing practiced marksmen, accustomed to han
die their heavy rifles with ease upon ledges
where argoat could scarcely lave found foot
ing: But, on the other hand, the Turks,
while confning their adversaries to a narrow
space, were themselves able to move freely to
and fro in order to get better shot at them.
So the fight ragged for more than three
hours, while afternoon sank into evening, and
evening began to darken into night. For every
Montenegrin that had fallen two lay dead on
the Turkish side; but the greater numbers of
the assailants were well able to support this
continued drain, while the thin ranks Of the
defenders could i'll spare single man.
Matters began to look very black for the
out food was trife to these men Of iron,
who could have out-starved wolf or a vul-

from thirst, and in their present encampmcnt

would have been to rush down from their

Man after man dropped dead or sorclv

be nothing left for them to do but to rush
out and sell their lives as dearly as possible
Suddenly the cracks of the rifles and the saw

the crash of volley that smote the rear Of
the Turks like thunderbolt
Then high above all the roar of battle rose
the Montenegro war shout, and fresh band
Of mountaineers came bursting through the
smoke, sword in hand, right into the midst Of
their dismayed enemies.
Little Stenko had done his work well.
