DEAR SIR: We manage to get

Devoe. Along came salesman of
somebody else's paint before ours
had got there. Salesman said ours
was short-measure. Kohlm eyer
weakened, hung-fre and Topped;
stopped ours and took his.
1t was our turn now. We emptied
our can into his and his into ours.
The short-measure was his, not ours;
and we kept our man.
And, ever since then, that paint
manufacturer gives full-measure;
his paint is not pure, but his gallon
contains four quarts.
Go by the name; and the name to
go by is Devoe lead-and-zinc.

Antiquity of Tennis.

Among all the popular games of to-
day none perhaps is of greater an
tiquity than tennis, for it is said to
have originated in the ball games Of
the ancient Greeks and Romans. In
the first place the ball was struck by
the hand, later on heavy gloves were
worn or cords strapped round the palm,
and the racket was contrived during
the fifteenth century In France, where
the game was very popular, and thence
introduced into England.-London Cap

indian HEMP and cataIep.y.

A single grain of the resin of Indian
hemp will produce catalepsy in man.
A few hours are required for the eff
fects to reach climax, when his
limbs may be placed IN almost any
position without difficulty. and when
once placed they remain IN the given
position indefinitely, although the nat
mal influence Of gravity would cause
them TO FAN. During the catalepsy the
body Is usually insensibse to all Inn

OLD TOM PERRY.

st. Peter Herald: "Old Tom"
Perry will be tenderly remembers
His was a nature that Stunned the
harsh and unpleasant, and he sought
to picture life from it's happier side.
He was human, and he erred at
times; he was not materially success
full, as the world measures material
success; but he tried to scatter sun
shine. and there are hundreds Of
age-worn scrap books in Nicollet
and LIE Sueur counties in which are
treasured rendered tributes and COM
forting words that fell from his
sympathetic pen. His long resi-
dence in st. Peter has made him a
familiar figure, and few men had a
wider personal acquaintance. Those
who knew him liked him, for there
was that about his personality that
engendered liking. He was charita-
BILE and forgiving, he was without
malice, and he was sincere. The
troubles of the unfortunate and the
needy appealed to him, he won the
love of little children and he was the
friend Of all. There was much to
admire about the old editor, and
there are many who will mourn his
naSSinp.

thus accounting for the cars starting
to run backward, but instead OF
throwing on his low speed ahead
which would have stopped the car, ne
seemed to have lost his head. He al

AUDITOR FISHER
DENIES REPORT

Referring to statements in the after
noon papers that Governor Carter had
advised Judge Frear, as his SUCCESSOR
to make a clean sweep Of all depart
ment heads, and particularly to the as
sertlon that among the heads OF de-
partments there is expressed much
Indignation at this action on Carters
part. which they denominate as un-
grateful and treacherous," Auditor J-
II. Fisher said yesterday evening:
For myself I never heard the faint
est r1nnor of such thing. ] never sus-
nacted anv such action or even dispo-
sition on the part of Governor carter.
..ITntil I saw the statements In the
afternoon papers 1 never Joined In or
heard anv conversation about Govern
or carter in that connection. l do not
believe now that he gave such advice
to Judge Frear.
"And if the heads of departments
generally were cognizant of such an
attitude on his part, do you think ti'ey
would have made chumps of themselves
bv giving him a farewell present?
"T don't care how strong you make
