Letter to C. A. Bailey
Butler Pa.
Dear Sir; Mr. H. H. Stephenson,
Cashier 01 Oil City (Pa.) Savings Bank
writes; "Nine years ago I painted mv
bouse with vour paint. 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.

Wm. 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.
