Dear Sir: Here's the one great big
fact In paint:
Every job painted Devoe takes less
gallons than any other paint.
IL any one doubts this statement,
here's the proof:
He may paint half his job Devoe,
the other half whatever paint he
likes. II the Deyoe half does not take
less gallons and cost less money for
both paint and labor, no pay.
Yours truly,

"sixpenny jack"

"What charming personality
was that of Millais," says the au-
thor IA woman) of "Leaves From
Life" 'My father recollected him
az handsome lad in a velvet frock
coming to paint at the academy
schools when one would have ex-
pected him to be still in the nurs-
cry. But I remember him as a
tall and good looking man, with
curly hair and very bright eyes,
with a hearty laugh, and particu-
larly do I recollect the way he threw
his head back when he laughed and
the extremely merry addition he
was to any gathering. He often
came to Pembridge Villas late for
game of whist, and the nature Of
the points played for as well as some
canny Scotch characteristics he dis
played gained for him the sobriquet
Of 'Sixpenny jack"

A BOY WITH TACT.
The Story Of Queer Borrowing
Transaction In New York.

s''SSOss's's
Tact combined with confidence is
The first qualification of a business
man, and the following little Incl
dent in the history of one of the
most successful merchants of New
York shows a development of this
trait early in his business career:
Coming to the great city, with
out friends and with very little
money, he found his way to clover
Wall street. and, walking into the
store of W. & Co., passed back into
the counting room and waited mod
estly and patiently till he should
divert the attention of Mr.. W., who
was at the moment busily engaged
with some friend.
+. At last the frank, open face of
the boy attracted his notice, and he
addressed him with:
"What can ! do for you, sonny2''
II want place, sir"
"Well, what can you do?"
The boy answered eagerly:
"Most anything, sill"
Mr.. W., partly for q joke and
partly to rid himself of the almost
too confident boy, said:
"Ah! Well, just go out and Dor
row me 4 couple Of thousand dol
lars"
The lad placed his hat on his
head, walked out of the store, then
passed slowly down Front street till
he came to another large store in
the same line of business. Then,
with a bold but honest look, be

and said:

The boy, having seen the ap-
pearance of large shipments, an.

say? Will that be enough?"

but if you have plenty l think he

The advantages of the place have
been put before the people in other
parts-in othr states, and newer
flesh and richer blood have been
brought in to stimulate the old and
build up the new.
The metropolitan daily is working
on much the same lines, SO far as
the principle of the thing is con-
cerned, though the methods employ
ed may be somewhat different. The
newspaper must be admitted to have
exerted a greater influence upon the
development of the resources of the
country than any other medium.
TIL newspaper is moral educator
which publishes the fraud and lauds
the worthy. The man who makes an
effort to accomplish good is encOur-
aged by the ever appreciative news
paper. If your newspaper is not as
good as you would like to have it,
ask yourself if you have patronized
it, and if you have, if you fully re-
Enumerated the publisher.
The newspaper, like a tree will
bear fruit, often times, over in pro-
portion to the amount of care and
nourishment bestowed upon it.

What the Newspaper is to the Com
munity.

What the Newspaper is to the Com
munity.
The work of the newspaper in the
development of a new country is al
ways fraught with difficulties, and
the man who sacrifices himself to the
task is a martyr worthy to be can
onized. He is expected to be mod
ell of consistency, AMI to brook the
inconsistencies of the entire COM
munity. His pay is meager and his
labor correspondingly great. He is
expected to say good word for ev-
Ierybody, and to publish free any
thing presented, however much it
|savors of advertising. His mission
politically is to assist others to Of
flee, but he must not expect his party
to remember him in a like manner.
But while all this struggle is go
ing on, another and deeper work
has been in progress. The newspa-
per has. perhaps unknown to both
the editor and the members of the
community. been exerting a subtle
influence for good or for evil, and
nine times out of ten, the newspa-
per is on the right side of the ques-
lions which rise in the course of
human events. If the tenth one is
wrong, it is the exception which
establishes the rule. Suggestions
have been offered. ways and means
discussed imDrovemenfs made now
and valuable industries established.
The farmer has been kept posted
on what was transpiring in the OUT
side world; the best methods have
been presented and the average citi-
zen has profited by the suggestion.

Ticker for Members of conoress.

A plan TO keep the members of con
gress informed of what is going on in
the house at all times that body is in
session. even though these members
may be in their Offices in the new
house Office building, will be tried out
by Supt. Woods of the capitol If the
plan proves a success the system will
also be installed in far committee
rooms In the capitol and in the gov
eminent departments up town, so that
the senators and representatives who
may be yisitin. these departments
may know what is going on in their
absence.
An instrument about the shape and
half the size OF a typewriter will be
placed at a convenient point in the
in the new office building. On an end
less sheet Of paper the machine will
print the doings IN the house and sen.
ate. being operated at the other end
Of the wire connection by journal
clerks OF the house and senate. The
machine will be operated by electricity

of a number of such devices that Supt.
