Letter TO Arthur Carson,
PaliSdde, N. j.

Dear Sir: You know, diamonds
don't go by size. So with paint
We make paint, one gallon of
which goes as far as two of another
and lasts twice as long; that's four
to one.
You know it is true in diamonds:
they don't go by the gallon, do they?
If you're going to paint your house,
YOU go first to your painter and say:
I'm going to paint; do you want the
job? and what'll it cost?"
If he happens to know, he'll say
"Depends on the paint | can do it
for somewhere about $Ioo or 5000,
whichever you like; $Ioo will make a
good job; $500 a poor one"
And you, if you happen to have
your wits, II say: "I'll take the good
one when'll you do it?"
Painters ought all to know about
paint; and jewelers. ought to be able
to get good job. We do what we
can to help both
One gallon Devoe is better than
two of average paint, goes as far-that
is, your house will take about 20

gallons Devoe and 40 Of average paint
and Devoe will wear long time;
the life of average paint IS very un-
certain, it may be a year, 1t may be
five
Why sit that painters don't know
about paint2- Do jewelers. know
about diamonds? They know mole
than they tell sometimes. There are
painters and painters; so there are
jewelers. and jewelers.; SO there IS
paint, and the least-gallon paint is
Devoe.
Yours truly,

Looking Backward.


BY John Mortimer Lewis, in Houston Post
Do you ever at night in the fading glow
Of the ,woodfire sit while the cold winds
And, half in browse and half awake,
Go over the course that you used to take
With your dinner bucket away to school,
Or by woodland ways to the shaded pool
Where the sunfsh were that you used to
catch,
Or climb the fence to the carrot patch
That you, used to rob- sing the songs you
When you were a polly and care free lid?
Heigh.oh, it's cozy. Say, amt it now?
To think of those things midst the rowdy-
OF the winds outside as they whoop and

And-sort of wondering if twill freeze

Where you sat to strap skates on your

To skim, hands clasped, with a girl you
knew,
Say, wasn't it fun, you old rascal, you!
1t was fun for me, you can bet it was
Amt it good to dream like a fellow does
By open fire with lights way low,
While the winds outside grow hoarse and
blow,
As long as chuckle just mingles in
Your dreams, as long as an old style grin
Wreaths your lips it's god to go back,
way back
Through the old time joys down the old
time track,
And make Sleeps eyes at the girl you
knew
And whose hand you squeezed, you old
rascal, you.
Heigh-oh that girl just a red-hot coal
She was-that girl and she scorched my
soul,
She did, with her ways when my lips I'D
pout
For a kiss, Gee whiskers! she'd blaze
right out
At me she would Everything I dared
She blazed it so that she had me scared
She did, by lingo. Hot stuff By jung,

If she, had said to- Her eyes blazed,

this circular, we hand you herewith
a Statement of the company's finan
cial operations for the last three ms
cal wears, comparative statement OF
gross earnings, month by month, from
1904 to date, and the latest report
Of cross earnings for the current
year. Since the date of the old circu-
lar, the company has issued $Io5,ooo
additional bonds, SO that at the pres
ent time the amount outstanding is
$3.I2o,ooo.
eve have handled this issue for
about four years, i'll which time we
have placed 100000 par value with
investors both corporate and lndlv1d-
ual, nearly all above s. and interest;
the bonds have sold as high as 90 and
interest, and the present price is only
a rejection of the recent general
slump in bond values; in our opinion,
nearly all good bonds are selling at
bedrock prices, and the, next move
will be toward a materially higher
level
eve consider the New Jersey &
Hudson River Railway & Ferry
Company's property one Of the most
promising and believe that the steady

its Strategic positions as a railroad and
ferry leading into New York City.
AS you will see from the enclosed

been both rapid and consistent
We are now offering the balance
Of our unsold bonds, viz, $II7,o 900 at
75H and interest, at which figure the
yield IS 5R per cent; the bonds were

are to-day and the price is the low
