fession was signed by Rev. Henry Nc
Ilravy of Little Falls and the Rev. Cor
dello Herrick, the prison chaplain. who

as follows:
Because our relationship with Ches-
ter Gillette was privileged. we do not
deem 1t wise to make a detailed state
ment. and simply wish to say that no
legal mistake was made in his electro
cution."

Gillettee forfeited his life was the muir
der of his sweetheart. Grace Brown,

sational trial in which the pathetic
love letters of BILLY" Brown, as the

eled as man and wife to Utica, to Tup-

Letter to Il. D. COLE.
W illiamsburF, Va.

Dear Siri This happened seven years
ago. A man having three little poultry
houses bought one gallon of each OF two
paints 20 paint them paid SLIGO for one
and S1.T5 fer the other. Is cents differ
ence.
The ST 60 gallon painted one house.
the 81 - gallon painted the other two
houses. The cost OF the paint was; first
house 81 90, second house s7ls: third
house SITS.
But painting goes with paint. and &c
costs as much TO paint one paint as an
other. about So 50 a gallon.
The painting of one 81 those houses
with 81 90 paint cost the same as that
OF the other two With Sis paint,
So so. Difference 81 IS a house same
way as the 10 cents.
Four years ago, he painted that hrs,
| little house again, same paint-he want
/ ed 10 know what the cost Of keeping a
house well painted really Is. The Other
two houses didn't need painting.
Last year ne painted all three httl'
I houses. same paints as az hrst. and
| reckoued his cost 20 date of beginning
] the Job.
The hrst little house had cost S5.1C
I t~icc. or $40 20. and was ready q
I paint again. the second two houses ha,
| cost $500. and were ready TO pain
| again.
That is. saving . cents a gallon mad
| ne house cost twice as much as tn
other two houses. besides the fuss OF a
! extra paint Job in three years.
The 81 70 paint was DeYoe.
This tale is made-up of a thousan
experiences. Devoe Is always the pain
that takes less gallons. costs less NOR

cost of Devoe Is about one. fourth Of th
cost of paint that doubles the gallon,
