Letter to w J Rooney
Island Pond, VI.

Dear Sir: If you should bake bread
that people like better than any other,
and at less cost by the day. you'd have
a pretty-good business, wouldn't you?
We have Just such business as that
in paint gallon goes further than any
other gallon of paint in the country
that's bread at less cost by the day; but
the difference isn't so small as it is in
bread. And job wears longer-thats
bread at less cost by the year. People
hate to paint; it costs money to paint
and they hate the fuss. They like our
bread by the year.
If your bread is better than anybody
else's, and costs less too, you've got q
good trade; for people do like good bread
and people like money. 1t doesn't take
long to find-out; give 'em time.
But you can't bake better-than-any'
body-else's bread for half the usual price
for breakfast, can you?
Devoe is just such paint as that. The
price by the gallon or loaf is no matter
Count by the day week month yeal
lifetime. Devoe is the bread. We hope
yours is as good.
Yours truly
"a F. DEVOE & &C
P.S. J. W. Thurston sells our paint.

Memorial Sunday Service.

On Memorial Sunday, Erastus Buck
Post, &. A. r., aud auxiliary organza-
tons, attended divine service in Grace
NJ. +. Church. After devotional exercises
and prayer by Rev. Thomas Hall, the
pastor, Rev. c. ID. Lance, preached from
Luke xix, ID. "Aud he called his ten
servants, and delivered them ten pounds,
and said unto them, Occupy till come"
After mentioning the difference between
an address and sermon, the pastor
stated that it was his promise to preach
to them, to undertake to show how God
through His moral laws seeks to bind
the world to Himself. From the earliest
time to the present, great trusts have
been committed by God to individuals
and nations and while in some cases
they have been met faithfully, in others
they have been refused. Here he dwet
on the two greatest events in the worlds
history-the deluge, and the crucifixion
both of which ended in death, but
the one of refusal to meet obligation
resulted in ignominy aud shame, while
the other event, being the faithful dis
charge of trust, led to eternal victory.
When we awake to the consciousness that
life is a trust, and begin to invest our tai
ents that they may be returned with usu-
ry, we begin to live. What changed
world this would be if every talent
was laid on the altar of human progress !
The Master sets the seal of trust on the
brow of every individual and nation.
Men and nations were made because
Almighty God needed them, and is
always speaking to them to carry out
His trusts. The voice in the burning
bush was no more the call of God than
when he spoke to Abraham Lincoln dur
ing the greatest crisis that ever came
or ever will come, to this nation. Did
YOU soldiers think Lincoln called you to
rally around the flag? 1t was not Lin
coins call; it was the voice of God.
| What if you had not answered this call
The wheels of human progress would
have been turned back a thousand years
But you did respond and we can say TIC
you in the thought of Paul, other men
have labored and we are entering into
their labors. God never gives life
being unless in some great harvest field
there is work for it to perform, and hi
who fails leaves there a gap. There il
no discharge from this warfare. WheI
one refuses to respond, life's sun fol
him has begun its setting, to be followed
by eternal night. The nobleman wh'
gave the talents said OCCUPY till
come" So God has given us His SorC
and it is ours for service till He come
The speaker then addressed himsel
directly to the soldiers, outlining il
, most realistic manner their suffering
in the great battles, and then the tim,
fast approaching when to the buge cal
to service there would be none remain
{ ing to respond, and closed with al
!, affecting appeal to each to add to tn
laurel crown they already wear, tn
, ieweled crown of life eternal.
It was fine sermon, and held tn
: attention of the veterans and the larg
!. congregation from first to last. Yer
t appropriate music WAS rendered by
n mixed choir Of young people, Mrs. Anne
presiding at the organ.

Bradley reluctantly went to bed, butt
when he awoke, several hours later
he heard the captain stirring in his
stateroom.
Next morning the skipper received
telegram.
Williams Bros. havin' heard from
friend Burke, want to have little
chat with the commander of the
clipper Thomas Doanc" he remarked
to Bradley. "I'hat doctor squilgecln'

CHAPTER VIII.

Y-a lRAD," asked Captain Tit.
RD \ comI, cyeasing the morning
ss.-~--re4Sa paper into folds and tossing
sGaW it on the bed, what are
you plannin' to do now that our late
lamented owners have committed
financial suicide by cuttiE' you off in
the flower of your youth, so to speak,
1t was late the morning of the third
day after the captains return from his
flying visit to New York They had
said goodby to the Thomas Doane the
previous forenoon and We're now occu
plying room in the United States ho-
tel.
Bradley, who was sitting by theI
window, looking down upon the hats
of the people in the narrow street
answered slowly: Il don't know. I've
been waiting to find out what you in
tended doing"
The captain crossed his legs and tilt
ed back in his chair.
81 callate,' he observed, that !
could walk out of this gilded palace
of luxury and run afoul of another
shippers berth inside of an hour. Not
at my old wages, of course, but pref
ty fair berth, all the same. But, fact
is Brad, I've had a kink in my main
sheet for considerable spell. Eve had
notion that some day | was Goin TO
cut loose and cruise on my own hoo..
You know I've limited at it for over q
year. Now, it looks as If this was my
chance or never Brad, how'd you like
to be wrecker?"
"a wrecker?" Bradley's face showed
his absolute establishment.
"Oh, don't mean the line of wreck
in that is maxim your eyes stick out
at this minute. DO you know Caleb
Burgess, Cap'n Jerry's cousin!'
Yes; Bradley knew him. He owned
a little schooner that fitted along the
Cape Cod coast, picking up floating
wreckage when it was Of value, drag
ging for anchors, dredging for chains
and ironwork lost by vessels in trou-
| BILE and doing a sort of nautical old
| junk business.
"Well," went on the captain, "Caleb's
! gittin' old, and he'd like to sell out.
| Most folks think he's scratched a bare
| livin' from the shoals, but | happen to
| know that he's done good deal better
| than that. The old man told me how
| much he had in the bank, and it want
| to be sneezed at. Now, could buy that
| schooner of his cheap. She isn't much,
and money would have to be spent on
! her. but she'd do for a start. You under
stand, the wreckin' business I'd do
wouldn't be anchor draggin' alone.
There's money in frst class wreckin'
! plant on Cape Cod. Wrecks! Why,
they pile up there three deep every
| winter. Now, listen Il minute, while |
rise to blow"
Bradley listened, and the captain
talked. He had evidently given much
thought to this proposition, and his
plans were ambitious. He believed
that if Il capable man bought the Lizzie
that was the name of the Burgess
schooner added to her equipment and
sailed her himself he could build up n
profitable business. The salvage of
cargoes of stranded schooners and of
the schooners themselves played a
large part in his plans, One or two
good sized jobs of this kind taken ON a
commission basis would bring in capital
enough to warrant the purchase Of a
bigger vessel lifted with auxiliary
! power, fitted with diving equipment
derricks and the like.

are in Washington and have been in conference with Mfr. Oliver today. Mir. Oliver says that Stewart and Com pany have submitted a proposition to him, but that their offer has not as yet been accented. It is the opinion in official circles tonight that their off, fer may be accepted.
 That the fight on MT. Oliver has not ended is made clear from tele~rams he has received from friends in New York and Knoxville. He Is informed that petitions are being circulated in New York protesting against the govern ment awarding the Contract for dig ging the canal while in Knoxville, he says, an effort is being made to con- meet him with peonage cases. In dis cussing this tonight he said:
 My record as contractor and my financial responsibility and financial standing in the business world have been investigated by inc canal officials and the fact that the contract has been practically awarded me is sum- cient evidence that the government Is satisfied with the result of the inves. tigation.
 .'The president has been fully ad- ised as to the status of the Tennessee peonage cases. The fact that my brother was indicted in the federal court during the last campaign while he was a candidathe fer the Legisla- ture and that he was not convicted when these cases were brought to trial and the further fact that my name was in no way connected with the case is sufficient for the govern ment to entirely ignore these charges"

STOP SPECULATION
LIVINGSTON BEFORE THE INTER- STATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE.
Extensive Dealing in Futures DenOunc- ed by Georgia Representative Who Declared Farmers at
 Mercy of Stock Gamblers.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Representa- five Livingston of Georgia appeared be- fore the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce today and urged favorable action on his resolution pro- viding for an investigation by the De- partment of Commerce and Labor of inc fluctuations In the cotton market with the particular object of ascer- taining whether such fluctuations have resulted from the character of contracts of alleged gales and deliveries made on the New York Cotton Exchange.
 The extensive dealing in futures was denounced by Mir. Livingston, who said that the cotton growers and cotton spinners of the United States are ab- solutely at the mercy Of cotton specu- latora He mentioned the thirty class ihoations of cotton which formerly ex- isted and called attention to the fact that eleven of these classes have been dropped recently. Mir. Livingston spoke of his attempt 10 have cotton manipulation barred from the malls as frauds. and said that lie was threat- ened with libel suit because of his action, but he advised representatives of the cotton operators that he would furnish tSHo to assist in the prosecution
