It wore so well that 1 want to use it. again." That's nothing wonderful; all we can see in it is that Devoe is good for nine years, sometimes. There are thous ands of people that know it, and mil lions that don't. There's the rub! We print for the millions; wo want to make paint for the millions. Mr. Cashier, do you know that Devoe lead and zinc is worth twice as much as old-fashion painter's paint, lead and oil, and costs no more? Is 100 per cent a fair profit in your businessV Three-quarters of the people paint lead and oil mixed by hand; while the U. S. Government use lead, zinc and oil ground together by machinery—same proportions as Devoe lead and zinc. The majority is neyer right about any thing. Yours truly. 28 F. W. DEVOE & Co. P.

Miller, the fireman who met his death at the Expo, fire in Pittsbnrg.last Sunday morning, was a nephew of Jas and .Tohti Miller of Middlesex twp. His engine took a position on Duquesne Way, the fire melted the telegraph and telephone wires over his head, they *e)l across a trolly wire and upon him, and the current from the trolly electrocuted him. Grace Troan, aged -1 years, daughter of Wm. Troan, of Fairview Ave., was fearfully burned about the body at a bon-fire Monday evening. Some old rubbish and brush had been collected and fired iu the yard back of the house. The fire had about died out and was not being watched when little Grace stole up to it and threw a bundle of news papers on it. The flames leaped up and enveloped the child. Her screams brought assistance, but though she did not inhale of the flames her injuries are very serious. Dr. Bricker attended her. John Murphy, a P. & W. fireman was rnn down and killed on the road, at Foxburg, Saturday night. The danger of cutting towards yon ,was illustrated in the woods of West "Virginia, the other day. Cnas. Shively was passing through the woods, and stopped to cut a limb from a tree, drawing the knife toward his face. The force of the pull drew the knife against his eye cutting the bail in two clear back to the socket. The pain was so intense that without dropping the knife he clapped his hand over the eye. In doing this he cut through the lid of the other eye. which was closed, and sliced the ball in two. He was found after several hours wandering almost crazed with pain, and bruised and bleeding from bumping into into trees and other obstructions in his blind wanderings. V. >l. C. A. Bible Study. Asa result of Mr. Shelton's visit in the local Association, several new class es will be organized. It is expected that one hundred men will be enrolled by the end of the month. Mr. Shelton said on Monday evening. "No organization in the world, at the present moment, has a finer opportunity for the promotion of Bible study than the Young Men's Christian Association. The membership of the North Ameri can associations last year was 355,472, of whom 115,547 were active members. The new Bible Study report, which has been prepared through the industry and skill of Mr. Geo. B. Hodge, shows that 10.127. or a trifle less than four per cent of our entire membership, were in Bible classes last year. "There are more than twenty thous and association members in the state oi Pennsylvania, and more than 245,000 association members in North America, who are not reported as students in as sociate Bibl« classes. In view of these facts, and in'view of the fact that out side our membership there are a still greater number of men for whose high est well-being we seem to be largely re sponsible, it may be truly said that none have a better opportunity to exalt and enforce the teaching of the Divine Word than those to whom God has com mitted the welfare of this vast brother hood. All Day Meeting. The regular monthly All Day meet ing of the Christain Missionary Alliance Butler Branch, will be held Friday, March 22, 1901, at the Gospel Taber nacle, Mercer St. Butler Pa.
