READERS ARE OF MANY KINDS.
Differ In Taste as Widely as Do the
Books They Read.

Who has the habit of good reading
and the appetite for 1t will read what
suits his appetite If he can get It,,
writes e. s. Martin in Harpers The
trouble is that the appetite is not
oftener formed. II you are to make u
silk purse. you must have the silk.
You can not make reader OF good
books out Of any human material that
comes along. You must catch mind
proper for the job. Not all good minds
are adapted to much reading. You
find very able people who read few
books, and mostly trash, and people
Of less ability who read more. and
much better ones. You find also inter
esting differences In the facility with
which different people take in tho
sense OF printed words. Some people
from childhood read very much faster
and with less effort than others Their
eyes seem to connect quicker with
their brains. and their perception of
words and rows OF words Is almost
instantaneous. Other people never en-
tirely get past the need OF pro
nouncing mentally. each word.

JUDGE TESTED THE ELEVATOR.
How Governor FItzhugh Lee Put Stout
Friend to Good Use.

Several years ago, when the elevator
was first put In the capitol at Rich
mond, an incident occurred showing
the sense OF humor OF the then Gov.
Fit2hugh Lee. The general was OF
stout build. and he wanted to see how
the machine would work He was a
close friend to Judge Samuel b. Witt
Of the Hastings court.
Judge Witt was holding court the
day the elevator was completed, and
he was called to the telephone by Gov
Lee
SAM" said the governor, II want to
see you for a moment, and want YOU
to come to the Office at once"
Certainly, governor" said the Judge
always one Of the most accommodating
and obliging of public men.
by the way, Sam, the elevator IL
finished and you can come up to my
Office without having to walk up the
steps"
Judge Witt got back on the bench
and ordered a short recess OF the
court. Then he hurried over to sec
the governor. He made known his
presence, and he was ushered into
the governors Office.
Hello, SAM" said the governor
Glad to see you. Come up on thu
elevator~
II did, replied the Judge.
That's all right, then" remarked
the governor II am just going t.
dinner and did not care to try tina
elevator TIL was certain 1t woult
hold you. That is all, Sam; thanl

A member of our staff went to one
OF the parties on Jefferson street to

He gave the reporters the following
facts: He had friend who was so
far gone with Diabetes that he could
hardly move. Later he was astOnish-
ed to see him back again at his en-
ployment Meanwhile his wife de-
veloped the same disease. Later she
was again about her daily occupations
The business man In question was
intensely interested, as he was a
great sufferer himself from Diabetes.

been effected. and procured the treat
ment for himself, with the result tnat
| he has resumed the personal care OF

Letter to John w. lockwood
Bennington, VT

Dear Sir: The wear Of paint goes
by gallons; the less-gallons pain,
wears longest. The reason, OF course
is its strength. 1t takes less gallons
because 1t Is strong; II wears a lonl
time, because 1t is strong. 1t Is all
paint and the strongest paint.
There is best paint among all
paint paints. No two are alike, Of
course; no two cover alike or veal
alike One is thin. another Is thick
one has two much lead, another toe
much zinc, another Is right. The
right is Devoe, SO far as is yet known
Perhaps somebody-else will flnd-out 9
better paint than Devoe: then Devot
will become more-gall0ns paint o
costlier paint, a weaker paint, a less
durable paint, less-economical paint
timid paint
Bigger changes than that have come
over the wcrld. Devoe has the lead ;
why shouldn't we lose II to somebody
else?
Yours truly
F. w. DEVOE & co.

In His Right Vocation.

A prominent western author has a
bright son OF l6. who Is In bank, and
who also writes verse occasionally
which he submits to his father for
criticism. Not long ago he handed
him one which was returned with the
remark: THAT is positively bad" The
boy looked at him Questloningly. you
will have to change 1t before II will
pass" continued his father. But |
can't change 1t II It is bad said the
boy, with twinkle in his eye: and
the father suggested that possibly his
son knew more about banking than
he did about poetry.

 The Bridgeport polo team for the coming season was announced Sat urday by Manager Mills. The line- up will be Lewis, first rush. Roberts, second rush; Canavan, center; Car rigan, halfback; Harper, goal Looks like pretty snappy bunch. Roberts is veteran player who has been working in the west for the past few seasons.
