Suspicion! II

Most everybody Is suspicious that
most all the statements made by an
outside advertiser are terribly
stretched, II NOS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
and we plead guilty OF thinking that
the statements made by the Devoe
paint company, one OF our advertis-
ers, that their paint would go twice
as far as other paints, was putting
things plenty strong, for, where not
knowing anything about the paint
question, we could see no reason why
a gallon Of one kind Of paint should
go farther than a gallon Of any 9TH
er paint. But a conversation over
heard In q Postville business place
Tuesday evening fully convinces us
that the claims made by the Devoe
people for their paint are absolutely
true. A citizen who had fully decid.
ed TO paint his house came into tne
above mentioned business place 20
get the views Of two brothers who
had each built homes OF about the
same size within the past year or so,
on the kind Of paint to use. One
said he painted lead and oil, IL cost
him close to $2s, and the paint was
beginning to peal of; the other said
he used Devoe lead-and' zinc, 1t cost
him little over $14 and looked as
we'll and bright as when first put on.
They gave no advice, but 1t would
be an easy matter to guess what
kind OF paint the man who made the
inquiry will use on his house. (Ex'

Plea For the Animal Story.


Edwin L. ssbin. in Lipplneott's.
Criticised though they are, thes,
animal stories so popular Of late II
fiction-as being mawkish, supersen
timental, unnatural misiniorming-
is It not better to invest the beast
and bird creation with o'er-much hu
manization rather than with DER
little?
Man kills 80 easily, even so mechan.
ically, with never a thought for the
agonies OF the victims. Man Is the
only animal which kills, normally,
iustfor the love OF II. Other animals
OF prey kill to eat or In defense. But
it is man who killed thousands of
buffalo bulls, when they were value
less, simply to see them stsgger and
fall; who slaughtered the passenger
pigeons and fed them to the hogs;
who catches far more trout than he
can consume, and shoots more ducks
than he can give away.
Step softly as average man may
into a wood merry with bird and
squirrel, and he surely must note the
sudden voices OF alarm which herald
his presence, the hush which attends
bis passage, the outburst again,
timidly increasing, when he has gone.
For through the wood his reputation
is that Of q murderer, from whom no
living thing Is safe. He Is Man; a
"varmint" worse than bear and wolf
and tiger, snake and hawk.
Therefore, II the animal story, ex.
aggerated as 1t undeniably Is, can
bring man to look with more irien d.
ly and compassionate eye upon his
humber cousins, and can interest,
especially, the uprising generation. 1t
deserves a godspeed, despite tie
faults.

HATS ARE DE-
CLARED HIDEOUS.
The Joplin Globe Pokes Fun al
the New Fall Styles for
Ladies'.

The lady Of the house very criti,
cslly surveys the hat which she
thought was such O dream last June
and decides that Mrs. Jones was
about right when she said II was a
fright, says the Joplin Globe. So she
hies herseli to millinery store, and
what does she see?
An array OF creations in such mar.
velous and wierd designs that II
takes her a week to decide just which
she wants. Milliners have allowed
their creative genius and imsgina.
ton to run wild In designing the new
fall hats, and q riotous mixture Of
colors and combination OF materials
has resulted.
"Yes," said q milliner, as she twirl.
ed blue shovel-shaped affair upon
her finger, nearly all Of the hats are
large this season. OF course, there
will be few small ones, but II you're
realswell you will put on one OF these
big affairs "
And hard will be the lines for she
woman with the scanty locks. She
will simply have to buy more and ge,
into the class with the girl who came
down the other day and said, "Oh,
feel go dressed up. l have all my
hair on to-day" The hair dresser
should make enough money this sea-
son to retire with private yachts
next year because It Is going to take
mountains Of curls, pompsdours
and rolls to I'll out the space under
those cart.wheel affairs.
Anyway, as an enthusiastic ma.
tron said the other day, 1.-THE hats
are such dears!" This In spite OF the
fact that most OF them are short In
front with a sloping cellar-door effect
In the rear. Then, big, broad, silk
bows that make their wearers look
like windmills in action, will also be
very popular. Some of the hats
shown already are really creations,
those in MORE being especially eifec-
tive. There are soft russell browns
and Ceel blues which are going to be
much worn. Soft velvet flowers
and foliage, which gives the appear.
ance Of having been touched BY the
frost, will be combined In the SWEETEST
creations, while long willow plumes
willtrail weepingly over the shoulders
OF those who can sfford them.
A little later In the season it Is pre-
dicted that tn Q purple season now
raging In New York will reach Mis-.
souri, In full blast, and "my lady"
will deck herself thro ughout In the
royal color.
