Letter to R. Warner.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: One coat of Devoe is bet
ter than two of mixed paint.
The American House at Tannersville
(Catskill Mta.), N. Y., Chas L. Wiltse,
had two coats of mixed paint five years
ago; last spring had two moro coats of
the same.
Owner was going to use Devoe but
got his mixed paint a few ceuts less
Right across the street, Chas. Haner
painted one coat of Devoe at the same
time —last spring.
The point of the story is that Wiltse
is sorry already. He has learned some
thing that not one man in a thousaud
knows—that a gallon of one kind of
paint can contain twice as much paint
as a gallon of another kind of paint.
You can't afford to put on another
paint even if you have it given to you.
At the same time, you see, that Mixed
Paint appears to have worn five years
—give the devil his due
Yours truly,

This comes from Sistersville. The
Review tells it: A young lady attend
ing church Sunday evening, sat directly
behind a tall, handsomely dressed
stranger who had a piece of raveling
hanging over his collar. Being one of
those generous-hearted, whole souled
girls who grow to be motherly old
ladies, a friend of everybody in town,
she thought how glad she whould be if
she could do as much for her father if
he should come to church with a ravel
ing hanging down his back, BO when
the audience arose from prayer she
concluded to pick it off. Carefully
raising her hand she gave it a little
twitch, but there was more of it than
she supposed and a foot or two of it
appeared. Setting her teeth she gave
another pull and about a yard of that
horrid thread hung down his back
This was getting embarrassing, but be
ing determined she gave another yank
and discovered that she was unraveling
his undershirt. Her embarrassment
was so painful that chloroform could
not alleviate her suffering nor a pint of
powner hide her blushes, when the
gentleman turned with an inquiring
look to see what was tickling his neck.
