Letter to A. p. Martin, Esq.
Lexington, S. G.

Lexington, >. y.
Dear Sir: A certain paint-manu.
facturer advertised ''Waldorf-Astoria
painted throughout with my paint. y
A part of the basement was 80 painted;
not satisfactory; painted Devoe next
time.
There's certain paint, big con-
cern, very proud and ambitious, that
hated to see SO big a job of another
paint; 80 it went for that business.
That former paint was about two
thirds not paint, but this proud and
ambitious paint was only about one
third not paint. It succeeded in get
ting trial; Is gallon, 5 kits of 5
gallons each.
When the painter had used one kit,
he called the manager; not satisfac-
tory; Of the kits returned. A paint,
one-third not paint, is not good enough
to displace Devoe.
This was several years ago. That
proud and ambitious paint is better
now; it is nearer honestf' it isn't
short measure at all and only 1. per
cent adulterated. It's q pretty good
paint now; 13 or II gallons OF it goes
as far as 10 of Devoe.
Judge I. D. Fairchild. owns two
houses alike in Lufkin, Texas. J. M.
Terrence painted both houses, one
Devoe, and the other with that proud
and ambitious adulterated-15-per-eent
paint. It took 15k gallons Devoe and
25 gallons of the proud and ambitious
paint.
It takes pretty good paint to dis
turb Devoe.
g.. Yours truly,
81 F. W. Devoe & Co.
P. S. The Kaufman Drug Co. sell
our paint.

take away from them altogether. We
can not believe whatever good the
Japan says.
In the third place, he said, "Japa
nese are doing for Koreans what Anne
RIGA is doing for the Philippines
At this part of his conversation,
began to think that he is not a subject
of the United States of America. AS
it is published many times in your pa
aer what the Japanese are doing IN
Korea is barbaYious and they try to
kill as many Koreans as they think
will be enough to make room for the
Japanese to live, and they sent all the
coolies to Korea to fill the Government
were there was no American.
AS far as | know, that the American
policy is not bit Nike the Japanese
in Korea, and l believe the world re-
cognizes it, too. If the American policy
was like the Japanese in Korea, Anne
RIGA would have never been tue best
hQnored nation on the earth, as it is
today. l should think that Mr.. Stevens
is the one who has been helping the
seven thieves of Korean government,
who wilfully let the Japanese take con-
troll of Korea for their own benefit,
without the knowledge of the Korean
people, and yet Mr. Stevens is the one
helping Japan in Destroying Korea.
What will be good to Mr.. Stevens If
we, the Koreans, become Japans slaves
or be killed all.
If you will only kindly publish this
in your paper, and help us from heart
breaking I will esteem your paper as
the saver of our lives.
If any question that have to answer,
I shall be glad to call to do it, without
a moments delay, and all these are not
only what 1 know but they were pub
lisbed in the papers from Korea. Very
respectfully yours,

Working for Him.

About four miles out of Selma, Ala,
/ came across colored man whose
mule team and loaded wagon were
stuck fast in mudhole In the road.
The mules were odding in sleep, and
the driver lay On the grass by the
roadside with his hat over his face.
"Here-are you the man who runs
this OUTFIT" | asked as | dismounted
from my horse.
'I'ze de pusson, sah," he replied, as
he sat up.
How long have you been stuck

Bout an hour, | reckon"
We'll, what are you waiting for?'
Fur some white men to come along,
boss. No use to worry about it. I've
been yere befo and know jist how it
works. Sit down and see for yourself"
Ten minutes later four white men
drove up in buggy. Seeing that the
mules were stuck, they got down, Sc
cured fence rails and went to pry-
ing, and without the least help from
the driver, finally extricated the team
and sent 1t on its way AS it started
off the colored man queried of me:
rs you a stranger to dis kentry,
boss?"

kin see?"
Yes"

An Accomplished DueIist.

There is something very fascinating
TO one accustomed to the somewhat
even and prosaic tenor of the English
public life to gaze on man who has
seen such vicissitudes as the present
prime minister of France, M. Georges
Clemenceau. He was but boy dur
ing the Empire, when he was exiled;
he spent four years In America
which is the reason why he speaks
English SO perfectly. Then think of
what he has gone through since; to
every man who challenged him he
sent an acceptance, and a dozen, per-
haps score, of times he has taken his
life in his hands and looked into the
barrel of revolver or at the sword Of
an opponent who had for him all the
deadly hate of political animosity, and
especially in a country like France,
where religion and classes, as we'll as
fierce personal ambition, divide men
into such hostile and irreconcilable
camps. Neither giving nor asking
mercy, this terrific man-small and
compact of stature-with the great
round head, the great dark eyes, has
fought his way, now trampled down,
now rising again, and always feared
and kept back, as men of such fiercely
strong character are bound to be. 1t
is only mediocrities In politics that he
world allows to get to the top without
obstruction.

HER BREAD UPON THE WATERS.
Little Edna Did as Sunday School
Teacher Directed.

1t was summertime, and Mr. and
Mrs. Girvan had established them
selves as summer boarders on large
farm, so that their only child, Edna,
might have long-cherished wish re-
allied.
Little six-year-old Edna had heard
people talk of farms and farm life, and
she had leased her parents to take her
to the real country" where they have
cows. horses, chickens, and where the
men dig potatoes. They arrived there
Saturday, and the following day Edna
was placed in the village Sunday
school.
She said nothing about it on her
return home, and her parents had no
reason for thinking that their little
girl had learned practical lesson;
but on the following day when she
was given some bread crumbs to feed
the chickens her face simply beamed
with delight, and a few moments
later her mother, glancing out of the
window, saw her throw the bread
crumbs into little pool of water, and
the chickens had to stretch their
necks far out into the water to get the
feed. She meant to ask Edna why she
did it, but the incident passed out of
her mind
A few days later Edna's father had
occasion to go to the city, and when
he returned he brought home a hand
some locket and chain for his little
girl it being intended as a surprise
from her father and mother; but Edna,
while plainly showing she was de-
lighted at receiving the gift, showed
no surprise whatever, but accepted it
in cool, matter-of-fact manner.
Both her father and mother noticed
this with surprise, and were keenly
disappointed. Finally her mother said
to Edna: But isn't my little girl sur
prised to receive SO beautiful gift
from papa and mammal" NO." little
Edna replied, "the golden text of the
Sunday school lesson on Sunday was:
Cast thy bread upon the waters, for
thou shalt find it after many days
And when you sent me to feed the lit
tie chickens, every day | did 'casted'
the bread on the water, and so
's'pected something; my teacher
'splained' it that way"

New Yorker Saw Beauty In Sign,
Where Maiden Lady Could Not.

A party of tourists was being shown
around Ciudad Juarez, the little Mexi-
can town just across the Rio Grande
from FL Paso, Texas. Every one was
delighted with its picturesqueness,
and in particular a maiden lady, who
went into raptures about each new
sight

adobe houses, the old church, the mar.

dreadful blocking men wearing SON.

that sign over there" He pointed
toward whitewashed mud house on
whose exterior was painted:

The woman eagerly turned to look.
Then she froze the horrid man with
glance and did not speak to him
again during the whole trip.

ITCHING HUMoR ON BOY
His Hands Were Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured In Days BY Cuticura.

Zone day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed 1t on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and We didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. BY
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but solid mass of this itch
ing disease. I purchased a box of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night | took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then I dried
him and took the 'Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. | did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank DON

Frank IL Not Complimentary.

Her brother; aged IT, had been made
captain of high school football team
and consequently had become sudden
ly popular with the girls in the neigh
borhood. Because of this the man
ager of a skating rink presented broth
err with a season pass. Sister, who
had attained the tremendous age of
20, was truly fiattered when brother
asked her, rather than some of the
younger bellies Of his acquaintance, to
share the privileges of that skating
rink pass. But brothers explanation
removed all danger of the immediate
growth of sisters vanity. "You see,"
he told her with frank simplicity, I'm
not used to skating with girls. I'll
practice on you for month or two,
and then when ! can do 1t real we'll
I'll ask some Of the other girls"
