How Can DeVOe Do III ?

Why. do you think, can Devoe sell
pure paint as low as others sell adul.
teratea paint?
There are 80 or 4Os or so different
makers of paint, that rank, in a way,
as s'6rst-class;" they have their re-
gions; ones region is large, another g
is small; everyone is ''first-class" in
its region.
OF these 80 or 40 or so, one is best,
another next, and 80 on down; but the
prices are all the same or about the
same-you can buy one for less than
another though; a personal matter
sometimes.
But how, do you think, can Devoe
sell the best for no''more than the rest
The answer is: it costs less to sell it;
more to make, less to sell. Reputa
ton helps sell it. It's $50 years help
sell it. Go by the name.

was, like the musical clash CT fairy cvmbalS,
which drew rapidly nearer and nearer; and
Bclew felt that Miss Priscilla's hand was
trembling upon his arm as she leaned forward,
listening with smile upon her parted lips
and light in her eyes that was ineffably
tender
Nearer came the sound, and nearer, until
presently, now in moonlight, now in shadow,
there strobe a tall, martial figure in all the
glory of braided tunic and furred dolman, the
three chevrons upon his sleeve, and many
shining medals upon his breast, "a stalwart,
solderly figure, despite the one empty sleeve,
who moved with the long, swinging stride
that only the cavalryman can possess. Reing
come beneath certain latticed window, the
Sergeant halted and next moment his glitter
ing saber flashed up to the salute; then, with
it upon his shoulder, he wheeled and began
to march up and down, his spurs jingling, his
sabcr cleaning. his dolman swinging, each
time he wheeled; while Miss Priscilla, leaning
forward, watched him wide eyed and with
hands tightly clasped. Then all at once,
with little futtering sigh, she rose.
Thus, the Sergeant, as he marched to and
fro, was suddenly aware of one who stood in
the full radiance of the moon, and with one
hand outstretched toward him. And now, as
he paused, disbelicving his very eyes, he saw
that in her extended hand she held a great
ripe peach
Sergeant she said, speaking almost in
whisper, "oh, Sergeant won't vou-take it?"
The heavy saber thudded down into the
grass, and he took sudden step toward her.

PREDICTS END OF THE WORLD

'The world will come to an end with,
in a very few years" declared Elder
o. Montgomery, president OF the In
diana conference of the Seventh Day
Adventists at the service at the
camp-meeting now progressing here
q cannot set the year. 1t may be
next year. 1t may be five years. But
] do know that It will come before
the death of the last man who saw
the falling of the stars on November
10, 1888. There are few people living
now who saw that phenomenon, and
know that the end will come before
all of them are gone"
Elder Montgomery said that science
had been unable to solve the falling
of the stars in 1888, and that he has
scriptural proof that the millennium
would occur within the generation
following that event.
