man have backslidden on pie making;
that the "short, flaky crust" is n > long

Hat the women object to these state

a receipt for a pie, which, she says, har

Letter to 8. <*. Purvis & CO.
Butler, Pa.
Dear Sir: What is lumber worth?
"Depends on the lumber," you say
"what sort do you want?"
That's how some people talk about
paint. They ask: " What'll yon paint
my house for?"
The Yankee anwser is: "How do you
want it painted? One coat? two coats?
three coats? first class or cheap?"
The proper answer is : "I want the
best paint put on as it ought to be."
That's Devoe; but the usual answer is;
"I want a good job; but I want it
cheap." Which means: I want you to
paint it for nothing. I want to bo fool
ed.
Lead and oil is the costliest paint there
is: not the best; it used to be bent. De
voe is best, since zinc came in: Devoe
lead and zinc.
Zinc toughens the lead and doubles its
wear.
Zinc costs no more than lead , and we
grind by machinery:
We have no patent on zinc*; but no
body else is treating it right. Devoe
is your paint.
Yours truly,
80 F. W. Dkvoe & Co.
P. S. Patterson Bros, sell our paint
in your section.

Suicide in Donegal.
Sylvester Griffen of Donegal twp.
was found hanging dead in his -"able
last Friday noon, fse had been about
his work as usual that morning and his
absence was not noticed till towards
noon. Xo cause was known for his
j action and he held the general respect
af bis neighbors. The Coroner's jury
! decided it to IK* a case of suicide,
j For a number of years Mr. Griffen,
' a butcher, has lived on his farm,
I about three miles southeast of Millers
town and ran a meat wagon into town.
About a year ago he purchased a shop
in that town and carried on a success
ful business up until about theee weeks
ago, when he sold his >-hop, and since
has been looking after the interests of
his farm, lie was about 50 years of
age and looked the picture of health.
He seemed cheerful that morning and
helped his wife do the chores aronnd
the house and then said he was going
Out to help his son build fence, but in
stead went to the barn, where his son
found him at noon, suspended to a joist
between his two horses.
An Honest Man.
When Harry Seanor of Willftt, Indi
iana Co. was here buying horses, a year
ago, he ixjught a spotted horse from
John Hallstein of Clay twp. for £OS:
but in paying out. that evening, two
new twenty-dollar bills stuck together
and Hallstein received .5115, or -S"JO too
much.
Seanor discovered his shortage shortly
after, but did not know to whom it had
been paid and said hothing about it.
He was in Butler, again, last week,
and Halistein came here and reminded
him of the affair and handed him the
S2O bill -for which act of honesty lie
should receive due credit from his neigh
bors. Harry bought twenty-two horses
in Grove City and Butler paying from
*BS to *175 each for them and his pur
chases this year in this vicinity, have
amounted to m-jre than all the other
horse-buyers together and he will be
here again, next Thursday as see
notice in another place.

OIL. NOTES.
Till- MARKET Both agencies made
a cut of cents, Monday, and the price
was #1.'27, though the Derrick says:
'•The most striking feature of the oil
| report for March is the general decline
in new production in the Pennsylvania
and Lima oil fields. Both Pennsylvania
and Northwestern Ohio show a decline,
too, in completed wells, while Indiana
finished more than in February. There
is a decided gain in new operations in
the Pennsylvania regions, with a slight
decrease in Ohio and Indiana. With
the passing of the Sand Fork pool there
is little left in the way of new develop
ments that are at all promising. Unless
the unexpected happens and a new field
is opened op the production of high
grade petroleum is destined to decline
from HOW on.
Yesterday another cut of 2 cents
made the price $1.25 and it is the same
this morning.

than we ever sold them since we started in business.
