Letter TO Rev. p. b. Wells
AbbevJlle, o. C.

Rev. Sir: We should like to ask
your advice on certain thing done:
was it right or wrong? We shall
have to state 1t, including the names.
D. F. Drelc0rn is painter In Hol-
vote, Mass. John J. Donohue is an
architect, Springfield, near by.
Donohue was building, at Holyoke,
the Holy Family Institute, letting the
work by bids as usual. Dreioorn got
the paint job: the paint was to be
lead and oil.
But Dreicorn said to himself: lead
and oil isn't half 80 good as Devoe and
it costs more money, what shall I do?"
He painted Devoe; and, after the work
was done, told Donohue saying: "if
that isn't better than any lead and oil
jod, I'll make 1t 3d."
Was Dreicorn right or wrong in
painting lead and oil job Devoe?
You asked how it turned out. This
was six years ago. Now Donohue has
another job there, q big addition to
the Catholic Hospital; and he doesn't
ask bids for the painting. but says to
Dreicorn: $50 ahead Dreicorn and
give me as good job as you did on
the Institute. That's the best paint
job I ever saw"
The question is "Was Dreicorn right
in painting Devoe when he had
agreed to paint lead and oil?
That isn't quite all. Lead and oil is
expected to last three years. II Drei.
corn had used lead and oil there would
have been anotherjob for him or some.
body else three years ago.
Was he right in losing that job for
himself or somebody else three years
ago?
The Institute took 200 gallons Devoe
and cost 81, 1000; the paint has worn
six years when Donohue says its 'the
best paint job he ever saw" If he
had used lead and oil lit would have
cost about $4,000 for the two paint Jobs
(six and three years ago) and be hun
cry for paint again;
Dreicorn lost $500 of business and
took the risk of making Donohue
mad and losing his business forever;
all to rave the Holy Family Institute
$1,000 besides the fuss of a paint job;
Was Dreicorn right or wrong as a
painter; and which would you paint
your church lead and OF? or Devoe9
Yours truly

cree declares that all able bodied
male citizens between q aud 45
years old shall constitute the
national forces, which will consist

militia The permanent army is
to be designated "the armed force
of the Republic. " The militia
while ia service will be subject to
the same discipline as the regular
force The permanent army shall
consist Of general staff, corps
of Rural Guards, "a corps of field
artillery aud corps OF coast artil-
lery, the hole undet command of
majDr general All enIistments in
the permanent army are to be for a

There is one thing, perhaps,
