NOTE IN BERRIES BRINGS WIFE
Leads Michigan Man Straight to Girl
Living In New orIeans-Dlrect
Command OF Cupid.

New Orleans.-A, note concealed in
basket Of strawberries is, it is conf
IDENTIFY whispered, going to be respon-
sible for the engagement of Miss Lena
Roth and w. e. Jeffries.
Mr.. Jetfries is a chef by profession,
and at the time he received the mes
cage was head chef In large hotel
In Michigan. One morning when he
opened crate Of strawberries his at
tention was attracted. to a strip of pa
per trying to hide itself among the
delicious fruit. Picking 1t up, he read
upon 1t the name Lena Roth, 2412
Laurel street, New Orleans"-and to
use Jeffries' own words, 1T knocked
me all OF a heap, for something
seemed to tell me that this was the
woman l was going to marry"
Jeffr1es had been looking for a wife
for long time. When this little mes
sage Of love came to him in the basket
Of strawberries it seemed to him like
q direct command from Cupid, and he
felt certain that his future wife had
been pointed out to him by an unseen
hand. He lost no time in communi-
eating with the young lady, and re-
ceiving an. encouraging reply, was
soon speeding as fast as a train could
carry him towards his divinity.
He met her by appointment, and
was positively transported with her
personality. She apparently contained
oil the lovable elements he had been
looking for in a wife, and his belief
that they had been brought together
by providential magnetism was con-
f1rmed. Nor was Miss Roth at all averse
to Jefries, who, in her opinion, also pos
sesses all the elements necessary in
good husband.
Mr.. Jeffries decided not to return
to Michigan, and opened a restaurant
In this city.

FISH WITH A HORN APPEARS
Queer Looking Creature Terrlfiss
Three Anglers at Greenwood Lake,
In New Jersey.

Montclair. N. 1.-The sea serpent Of
the Atlantic coast resorts will have
to take back seat for q queer am
phibious creature that is reported In
Greenwood lake by Charles Van
Gieson, John Willis and George No.
Cormick. all Of this town, who have
Just returned from weeks stay ut
the lake.
Van Gieson bears evidence OF a con-
hict of some kind, for his wrist is
gashed as with a saw. The wound,
he says, was inflicted by the lake mon
ster when it made desperate effort
to get into boat occupied by him
and his companions.
The three men were fishing for bass
IN the lake when they saw the mon
ter jump out of the water after q
fish which Mccormick had pulled up.
The fist sight of the creature led the
men to believe that 1t was a huge
eel, but It's second appearance was
more terrifying. The thing dashed
close up to the boat after one of
the captured fish. 1t had a long horn
on its snout and measured about
seven feet in length. Its general ia.
cial appearance was like a catfish, ex.
cept for the sharp horn. 1t was this
horn which cut Van Gieson.
The strange visitor managed to
crawl over the bow of the boat before
the occupants could recover from
their amazement. 1t impaled a bass
which was lying in the bottom of the
boat, and then made overheard again
AS the creature slid back into the wa
ter 1t beat its tail, which seemed to
have sponge-like qualities, so f1ercely
that the air was filed with f1ne
spray that blinded and drenched the
Montclair men. %.<.

What then constitutes a pure paint.
In the first place pure linseed oil.
That is really the life of any paint.
If you get poor grade of oil or an
adulterated oil, it takes the life out
of the paint. The next in Importance
is the White Lead and Zinc Oxide.
These three ingredients should be all,
outside of little turpentine for dry

go into pure paint.
The -Mirnese..a Company owns it's
own linseed oil mills at Minneapolis,
where they grind and press selected
Minnesota and Dakota faZ, thereby
insuring the pure article. There are
hundreds of paints that claim purity,
but manufacturers of these paints
have perverted notion as to the
meaning of purity. They figure that
pure clay and chalk and rock are pure

THE LAUGH CURE.
New Theory Advanced by Scientists.

In this day Of new discoveries and
inventions it is small wonder that
smoeone has found a good hearty
laugh the cure for at least the more
common ills Of the human family;
and Is spreading the glad tidings all
over the world. A goodly number of
these new fads are sent us from for.
eign countries as well as the means
of putting them into effect So it. is
with the twelve funny clowns that per-
form twice daily with the Great Dode
Fisk Shows, which will exhibit at
Warren, Saturday, June II.
These twelve funny fellows are the
pick and cream Of the testers, pan
tominists and clowns of England,
Germany and France and were
brought to this country this season
especially to fill this engagement.
Their only business is to make the
public laugh whether they wish it or
not and they surely succeed in their
effort along these lines.
There are two great feature clown
numbers during the performance. One
is the "crazy clown" in which all the
clowns take part and during the per-
formance of which pandemonium
breaks loose; while another feature
is an elaborate scenic number en-
titled Cooks Return from the North
Pole. To say that this is a scream
u putting It -mildly-it is more it is
one continual roar Of laughter from
start to finish. 'The laugh cure" as
prescribed by the clowns Of the Great
Dode Fisk Shows is guaranteed to
cure the public at large and indE
viduals IN particular Of dependency
and hlues for the next year TO come.

7AccALAUREATE SERMON

The baccalaureate sermon to the
graduates Of the Warren High School
was preached by Rev. A. A. Myers, OF
the M. E. church, at the Warren
opera house, on Sunday evening. The
pastor took as his text Rom. /: 20.
First the vast importance of acqu1r
ing knowledge, of getting an educa.
tion. was touched upon. Our whole
life is an education and all around us
are found teachers Of wisdom. Child.
hood and youth are the primary grades
and death is the commencement.
Among the instructors was mention
ed first the Bible, the source of wis
dom and guide to correct living. His
tory also is great teacher as from
it we learn of Gods dealings with ma.
tions and individuals in the past.
Christ is another great teacher, in
fact the greatest one, and from his life
and teachings all who will may learn
life's greatest lessons. Mother nature
Is another great teacher. Back to
nature is the cry in our day, and it
well deserves to be needed. "There
are sermons in stones and books in
running brooks, Human life and ex-
perience are great teachers and Fail.
ure can even be teacher because it
teaches us what to shun. Numerous
examples were cited of men whose
lives have been influenced by chris.
tian principles and have accomplished
great things for the world. Cromwell
Hampton, John Brown, Lord Kelvin
Daniel Webster and Roosevelt were
among those named.
The sermon was an able, instructive
and inspiring effort, that sunk deep
into the hearts of the young people,
leaving an impression that should last
through life.
Vocal music was furnished for the
OCCASION by the High School chorus.

CLASS DAY
EXERCISES
OF WARREN HIGH SCHOOL ON
WEDNESDAY EVENING WERE
VERY SUCCESSFUL,

The Glass Day exercises of the
Warren High School were held at the
opera house last evening, and were
very pleasing from beginning to end.
After selection of music by a five
piece orchestra Miss Anna Shaw de.
,nvered her oration, Domestic Econo.
my in the Schools in a very pleasing
manner. It was a thoughtful effort in
which was traced the history of the
movement, it's growth and adoption,
and its influence in bettering the
home life of the people.
Next came an oration on forestry
by Albie Bren, also well delivered and
evidencing careful study of the sub
ject, which in late years has at
tracted national attention. The inl-
portance Of conserving the timber re-
sources Of our country was admirably
discussed.
After a song by the Glee Club Miss
Mary .Rundtum gave her Grafton
Famous Women in History. She told
Of Joan of Arc, Florence Nithingale,
and Francis E. Willard, and the in
huence exerted by them on their own
time and succeeding generations. She
spoke well and her efforts were much
appreciated.
Next the High School Glee Club
furnished another song and then Miss
Mile Swanson delivered her Grafton
'The High Cost of Living" in fine
voice and in a graceful manner. She
told Of the various causes that are
responsible for the increased cost of
living, among them being the demand
for better food and clothing, better
houses, improved school facilities,
short weights and measures, the de-
sertion of farms and poor farming,;and
the increased production of gold
which lessons the value of the dollar
She pointed out many of the evils
that result from the rise in prices and
suggested some remedies one of them
being an agreement Of all gold pro-
ducing countries to limit the output.
Improved methods of farming will al
so tend to decrease prices by increas-
ing production.
Miss Leila Johnston followed with
an original poem, Legends in SPAIN,
in which she allowed each member Of
the class to tell of their experiences
after an interval of twenty-five years.
1t was a cleverly composed and hui
morous production, abounding in in
nocent hits, and delivered from me
mory without missing a line.
The exercises closed with a selec-
tion by the orchestra

Trade Between U. S. and South
America ncseased-TWelve
Steamship Lines.

New York, April 16.--Business
firms engaged in handling foreign
trade report that commerce between
the United States and South America
is increasing at rate far greater
than that with any other port of the
world. The official figures published
from month to month by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor show
that during the after half of 1909 and
the beginning OF 1910, imports to the
United States from the southern con-
tinent have increased 40 per cent
over the corresponding period a year
earlier while the value OF American
products shipped to South American
countries during the same period adj
vanced 20 per cent. Meanwhile our
trade with other parts Of the world
has just about held its own except
that imports from Europe have IN
creased appreciably. From the dis
cussions in and out of congress OF the
proposal to encourage a ship subsidy
the establishment of American steam
shin lines to the southern countries,
many persons hold the idea that at
present there are practically no lines
of TRANSPORTATION between the two
halves of the western hemisphere. As
prominent shippers have pointed out
