DARES RAISE HIS VOICE
Does Fairbanks to Say Arts of Peace
Should Get More Money Than
Those of War.

Vice President Charles w. Fair
banks was the guest of honor in Chi
cago at the dedlcation of St. Stanis-
laus Polish Roman Catholic Parochi-
cal School, the largest institution of
it's kind in the United States.
The vice president arrived from
Washington in the morning, attend
ed the dedication exercises in the
afternoon and in the evening was
principal speaker at a banquet COM
memorating the dedication.
The vice president in his address
said he would rather see the people
spend their money in building great
schools and churches than to see
them spend it in unduly expanding
armies and navies. In referring to
socialism the vice president said
that it is a sort of procrustean prin-
ciple of society and puts a handicap
upon genius, ability and thrift.
In the new parOchial school 4,500
pupils will receive instruction from
staff of more than 100 teachers.

SALOON TO EACH 10 PERSONS.
BenbOw City Is the ''Wettest" Town
In Illinois.

Benbow City, the fat town which
has grown up around the Standard
Oil Company's new refinery, eight
miles south of Alton, is the wettest
town in Illinois, and because 1t is the
wettest it is also the richest. 1t
began it's corporate existence as a
village Monday of last week, with
eighteen registered voters and TWEEN
ty-three saloons. Within the cor
porate limits of Benbow City there
are 300 persons and one saloon for
each thirteen inhabitants. In addi-
ton to the twenty-three saloons there
are seven brewery agencies, and each
dram shop and agency pays $500 a
year license. Payments for the COM
ing year have already been made,
and the little village starts out in life
with SIS 900 nest egg. The liquor
interests have paid $50 Tor each man,
woman and child III the village, the
per capita wealth of which, by rea-
son of this revenue from liquor in
terests, is greater than that of any
town or city IN the United States.

try a Few Years Ago.
When the gravel falls for the last
time this session and Congress de-
serts the capitol it will leave behind
a record of unprecedented expendl-
lures. Coming to Washington fresh
from the scenes of the financial dis
turbance of the early fall it has
pushed the appropriations for the
first session of the Sixtieth congress
above the billion dollar mark.
Not so very many years ago Speak
er Reed and his billion dollar Con-
gress startled the country. Now the
country has reached billion dollar
sessions, and it takes two sessions
to make a Congress.
Billion Dollar Sessions Now.
Not only does the billion dollar
session follow closely the recedlng
wave of a financial furry, but IT
comes with a treasury depleted OF

fiscal year at 100000, and for
the current year ending Dec. 81
1908, at 500, 100000. The official
statement of the Treasury Depart
ment for last week showed an eX-
cess of expenditures above receipts
Of $59,O18,S29.37. The excess OF
receipts over expenditures was S5S,-

Emma had been most tenderly

life of one man and by the same act
led to the hanging of two others.
Since that time her life has been
made an easy one. She was the Of

preparations of this session exceed
those of the second session of the

this sum must be added the amount

LETTER TO j. Nj. BRIDGES
Dawson, Ga.

Dear Sir: The wear of paint goes
by gallons; the less-gallons paint
wears longest The reason, of course
is it's strength. 1t takes less gallons
because it is strong; it wears a long
time because it 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 wear
alike. One is thin, another is thick ;;
one has too much lead, another too
much zinc, another is right. The
right is Deyoe, so far as is yet
known. Perhaps somebody-else will
find-Out better paint than Devoe;
then Devoe will become a more-gal-
Ions paint, costlier paint, weaker
paint, less-durable paint, less
economical paint, timid paint.
Bigger changes than that have
come over the world. Devoe has the
lead; why shouldn't we lose it to
somebody else.
Yours truly,

How "Emma" Won Glo1Y.

One black night, S. H. Alexander,
a clerk, was reused from bed by a
call at the door. Opening it, he
was confronted by two masked men
with pointed guns, who forced him
to open the safe. Alexander was a
mere youth. The safe contained a
large sum of his employers money
and postoffice funds. The situation
seemed hopeless to the young fell
lew, with two brawny men with
drawn revolvers confronting him, and
as he knelt at the door of the safe
he reviewed in his mind many
schemes to foil the robbers, only to
reject each in turn as desperate.
One robber laid his revolver on
top of the safe and stepped up to
see what was inside as it's door was
swung open. Just then the cat, who
seemed to know that her young
master was in peril, made dash up
on one of the robbers, and the one
who had kept Alexander covered
I turned his head in alarm.
In an instant Alexander had seized
the revolver on the safe and shot the
man who was fighting away the cat
The other robber leaped on AleXan-
der and wrestled with him for the
smoking revolver. The clerk was
beaten on the head with guns and
shot several times by the wounded
desperate, who made off, leaving
him for dead.

The Robbers Captured.

The noise of the firing and scuf-
fling caused a general alarm and a
large posse of men was formed. II
captured, before daylight, not only
the two robbers, but two accomplices
All four were sentenced to be hang
ed, but at the last moment the SEN
fences of two were committed to life
imprisonment and the other two paid
the penalty on the gallows.
Alexanders life was despaired of
and when he was thought to be dy-
ing was married to his pretty young
fance by her request. He recovered,
and his bravery was rewarded by
the United States government with
a post in the postal service.
Since then Emma" has had 172
kittens. Only one has survived, and
money cannot buy her.
