Dear Sir: "Three-quarters paint
is a good phrase for the best outside
of Devoe.
Deyoe is the standard; mark it
100. The next best-there are sew
-eral not far apart-three-quarter
paints; you may mark them IS to
Devoe's 100.
The bulk of the paints in market
are 40 or so or so; a few are better
than so; a few are worse than 40.
How do they act? They cover
from one to three-quarters as much
as Devoe; and they last from one
to three-quarters as long as Devoe.
What are they worth? The same
rule don't hold; it costs more to. put
on some paints than they are worth;
they are not worth anything; the
''put-on" costs two or three times as
much as the paint. Yours truly

ADVERSELY.

10 that small number, comparatively whose
treasures were laid up earth only to flee during
the business depression which suddenly descended
upon the nation, there is much bitter disappoint-
ment. Accustomed to all the comforts which
wealth bestow, they have for years enjoyed the
fruits and tasted not the bitter dregs which has
been the portion of others less fortunate. Little
have they known of the anxious days and nights
of stress of the thousands of men whose wives and
children depended upon their honest toll. And
now that misfortune has upon them, their
nature cannot be attuned to new conditions
With fortunes dwindled, the human fiber of
which they made is asserting its strength or It's
weakness. The stuff that is in them is showing
well whether they have deserved the success which
has been theirs. Here and there the oppressive
weight of financial loss has reacted on the mind
and suicide has followed. How pitiable is the
plight of man who, not trained in the sterner du-
ties of life, when confronted with the necessity
which millions of his fellows have grown to really
enjoy turns deadly weapon upon himself and en-
ters eternity by the violence of his own hand How
ignoble, how childish, how wicked is such an act.
and how weak must be the moral fiber of such
men!
vi tlle oUneI hauu' "ndC lhdghlncehC manhood
is displayed by those strong hearts which face the
days of adversely and calmly relying on the help of
God to guide them the pillows seek the les
sons to be derived from such experiences and
make school of the times. It is the ability of
man to take disappointment and face the inevi-
table which makes human strength and nobility
stand out Sweet are the uses Of adversely if
character is upbuided through the trials and trib
ulations which befal Discouragements should give
their lessons, and account should be kept beyond
these lessons.
There has grown up widespread notion that
the accumulation of wealth is the main purpose of
living. On every hand the evidences of this absurd
view are patent. In the scramble all the real han
piness lying in the little things is overlooked, and
gloom pervades where the brightness Of Gods sun

shine should light the pathway of service A de-
sire to abandon the world as a result of losing
money! How preposterous is it all! 1t we're bet
ter if having possessed it, to lose the whole world
if the soul should enter into eternity as pure and
undefled it came down from heaven. Money
comes and money goes, the rich of today is
poor tomorrow and the poor man of today is rich
tomorrow 1t is the part of wisdom to reconcile
ourselves to one respective positions and it shows
strength of character to alter mode of life to
meet the changing conditions of the world. Hap
piness, that evanescent something which lies with
in us, but seems to be perched somewhere on the
horizon just out of reach will be found in de
gree when we take account of the little things and
enter upon doing them earnestly as we now seek
to acquire little more of this worlds riches.
Treasures in heaven last longer than the treasures
of earth. And there are no financial panics which
disturb them there.

LOAN SHARKS.

One of the peculiar phases of American life
may be seen in the office of money lenders whose
business 1t is to loan few dollars to saared per-
| sons with no note or other security. We have It
on the authority of of these salary loan sharks
that when they get a man coming he won't stop.
There is psychological reason back of the need
of the money which makes him keep coming. In
the first instance he probably needs $40 or thinks
he does. Lacking experience and acquaintance
with the money lender, he approaches with fear and
trembling, which sad plight is dissipated by the
heartiness with which he is received Ten dollars
for few days! Easy enough And the unfortu-
nate victim thinks he is happy in the possession of
a debt of 81 due next week
Now comes the day of repayment. How proud
ly the deluded borrower swells up his chest as he
enters the private Office of the lender and lays be-
fore him the $40 gold piece accompanied by silver
dollar. He is there right on the day. on the hour
almost on the minute, and he is so proud of his in
nate honesty. And when the shark makes casual
reference to him as client the word seems sweet
and the fact that he is a sucker is gone from him
with his judgment. few learned remarks by the
lender on the financial situation of the nation and
the deuded borrower feels like the president of the
First National bank of Podunk called into consul
tation with the directors of the worlds wealth
Come again! Well, if he doesn't he is the ex-
cepton to the rule. He needs not the CHEEKY invi-
tation. He is a client, and he is an honest man
who pays up time, even to the last cent called
for in the contract. If he never comes again he
probably will not be called client again in all his
life.
But presuming he is actuated by base motives to
defraud the money lender. Then his troubles begin.
If he is established in the city it is folly to at
tempt it. and if he is peripatetic in his wander
ings he will be bounded by the shark in every city
of the land. Life will become burden, and the
Interest" on the money borrowed at 10 per cent a
month grows rapidly. And he brands himself a
thief, too, along with the shark.
There is no law in Utah forbidding 10 per cent
a month on salary loans. When the legislature
enacted the usury law it was made to apply to chat
tells, the sharks out of the chatte loan bus
mess except in cases when they had money not
called for in the profitable branch of their
business But the sharks are not so much to blame
as the suckers. There must be demand for mon
ey under the conditions imposed by the lenders OF
they would have to go out of business.
What the borrowers need is law to protect
them from their own folly

knew it was capable of accomplishing this supreme
effort
Although the newspapers very generally treat
ed the performance of Mr.. Weston as a current
event in the world of sport, there is very much
more than that in the exploit. When the feat was
proposed, comment on the subject almost unan-
imous that its accomplishment impossible. The
idea that man of three score and ten years could
walk fifty miles day was secuted; that he should
keep up that pace for twenty-five days seemed so
preposterous that few there we're who would believe
it possible. As he swung out upon his trip he
found it convenient to cover few more miles each
day than he did forty years before. Although he
encountered less favorable weather and road con-
dtions than on his first trip, he crossed New Eng
land. New York and entered Ohio with better aver
age days marches and the doubling ones began to
wonder Crowds gathered along the road to cheer
the pedestrian and to see this man of seventy who
was as fresh as college boy. And as he began
the last part of the journey and entered Indiana,
and he was seen to be fit and in promising condi-
ton. the crowds which gathered along the quiet
country roads gave an almost continuous ovation
to the tramping hero, and he showered with at
tention. Arriving at Chicago, he given a re-
q
poised.
There is probably no more striking example of
the preservation of the physical powers of the hui
man kind than that of Weston. In the first place
he was probably unusually endowed with bodily
strength but bodily strength is incapable of siren
uous performance unless it be guided by the brain,
which is, after ALL the supreme organ in any event.
As rule, muscular power and endurance are on
the wane at fifty years But by leading a carefully
regulated course living temperatey, forming good
habits and not permitting dissipation to sap the
energy of youth, this man has attained the allot-
ted age of three score and ten years with physical
and mental powers as vigorous as that of many
men hardly more than half as old. The perform
ance of Weston deserves more than the mere re-
cital of the facts. In it there is a suggestion for
the promotion of longevity and happiness, which
can come only from the enjoyment of good health.
Besides this there is the scientific value attaching
which is especially noteworthy at this time to con-
trovert the insane theory of Dr. Osler that men of
fifty should be humaney removed from the field to
make room for the rising generations.

AGE CANNOT WITHER.

Edward Payson Weston the 69-year-old pedes-
trian who last week finished little jaunt of 1884
miles from Portland Me-. to Chicago in "a days,
10 hours and Is minutes, is an example of man
young in heart though old in years. His perform
ance eeffectually refutes the theory recently adj
vanced by eminent educationists that man of so
years is on the decline and not good for much
either mentally or physically. That he should have
broken his record over the same course made forty
years ago by more than day shows that through
the years his life has been an abstemious one
When forty years ago he made the long journey
he was young and full of the enthusiasm of youth
whereas October 30, 1907 when he set out on his
recently completed trip, he knew the hardships to
be faced and knew the human machine over which
his brain held control had served him well, and he
