The investment Of $4,000 in sewer

The investment Of $4,000 in sewer
system has made provision for caring for
one portion Of the city's refuse. but the
coarse garbage Is still on our hands, and
the city has not yet found satisfactory
plan for disposinR oft. The fact is that
beyond the immediate center Of the town.
within one block east and west Of Main
St.. the amount Of offensive or dangerous
garbage is very small. And tho whole
quantity Of 1t within the town Is not great
enough to make its removal large job.
So far the city has found its removal a
very expensive job for the amount Of
work to be done. Tho present seavenger
has reported his intention to quit the job
because he has not got wages out Of it
under a system that allows the house,
holders and tho scavanger to settle the
matter between them. He complains
that the quantity is too small and they
complain that tho charges are too great
For an able-boded man and able bodied
team there certainly is not enough to pay
wages. The councils next move is in tho
direction OF finding someone equal to this
Job that cannot do a heavier stunt; some
body perhaps who can make use Of much
Of the garbage gathered by feeding It and
with an inexpensive equipment would for
a small fee collect tho city waste and
turn |, TO the best possible account. It Is
a problem in which tho people must eer-
tainly ioin. at some trouble to their indi-
vidual selves. II II Is going to DO well and
economically solved. II those who have
useful waste would be at some pains TO
hold Il for an official collector. who would
make regular rounds tho job could be
made better worth while. But when on
ly the unuseablo waste Is reserved for
the regular collector and his charge CON-
planned about. the business n seriously
discouraged. For somebody with cheap
equipment the iob nigh. b made worth
while. He could be put on phone call At
ono Of tho city departments for special
obs and his fees could be fixed by tho
city. But Il Is not rightly tho eity's sx-
penss and should no, DO ssddled on the
tho city. Every householder should pay
tho COS, Of his own cleanliness. A ersa,
many Of our hoasskeepers have tho clean
liness and tho intelligence that leads them
to keep burned up the waste that Is likely
TO become offensive or esdangsr health.
But there arc e.hers-and they arc no, Of

Letter to II. A. FIagg, PaIisade, N. J.

Dear Sir: You know, diamonds
don't go by size. SO with paint.
We make paint, one gallon of which
goes as far as two of another and lasts
twice as long; that's four to one.
You know it is true in diamonds;
they don't go by the gallon, do they?
If you're going to paint your house,
you go first to your painter and say:
Pm going to paint; do you want the
job and? and what'll it cost?"
If he happens to know, he'll say ::
Depends on the paint. | can do it for
somewhere about SIoo or $500, which
ever you like; $Ioo will make good
job; $500 a poor one
And you, if you happen to have your
wits, II say: "I'll take the good one,
when'll you do it?"
Painters ought, all, to know about
paint; and jewelers. ought to be able to
get good job We do what we can
to help BOTH
One gallon Devoe is better than two
of average paint, goes as far-that is,
your house will take about 20 gallons
Devoe and 40 of average paint
Devoe will wear long time; the life
of average paint is very uncertain, it
may be a year, it may be five.
Why is it that painters don't know
about paint? Do jewelers. know about
diamonds? They know more than they
tell sometimes There are painters and
painters; SO there are jewelers.; so
there is paint and the least-gallons
paint is Devoe Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & co.

Married by Poetry.

Up in northwestern Ohio there is an
Irish magistrate who has his share of
the wit of "ould sod" Recently he was
informed that a couple whose name
were Jim and Bet were coming to him
to be married, and he prepared and
actually used the following ceremony:
Jim, will you take Bet,
Without any regret.
To love and cherish,
Till one of you perish,
And is lain under the sod,
So help you God?"
All being answered in the affirmative
by Jim, the squire turned to Bet and
said:
'Bet, will you take Jim.
And cling to him
Both out and in.
Through thick and thin,
Holding him to YOUR heart,
Till death do you part?"
Bet acquiesced by modest bow of
the head, and the then happy pair was
dismissed as follows
Through life's alternate JOY and
strife,
now pronounce you man and
wife"
