Dear Sir; Your are an artist, what do yon know about paint? White lead is 2000 years old, and zinc abont 50. The Greeks knew white lead. Lead and oil is old fashion paint, and aiuc is a baby comparatively. But zinc, if properly ground with lead, prolongs the life of the paint from about three years at the most, to six. Do you know that? It isn't your busi ness to know it: but you are an artist. The sun, that paints for you, destroys lead and oil. but scarcely affects Devoe. Devoe is the paint that lasts six years; yes, two or three times six years in favorable conditions. Yours truly, 75 F. W. DEVOE & Co. P. 8 —Patterson Bros sell our paint in Butler.

Tickets will be sold from April 10 to 20, inclusive, and will be good to return until June 25 when properly validated. For specific rates, routes, and condi tions of tickets apply to ticket agentj. Tour to the Yellowstone Park. The reduced rates authorized by the transcontinential railroads on account of the Annual Convention of the Na tional Educational Association, to be held in Minneapolis, July 7 to 11, 190*2. have enabled the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to offer to those contemplating attendance at this Convention an op portunity, under the direction of its popular Personally-Conducted Tourist System, not only of visiting the beauti ful city in which the Convention is to be held, and participating in the de liberations of the Convention, but also of visiting the Yellowstone National Park, at a cost impossible under ordinary conditions of travel. The Yellowstone Park is never more attractive than during the month of July, and the tourists under the care of the Pennsylvania Railroad will be afforded the fullest opportunity of visit ing all its unique attractions, including the Mammoth Hot Springs, the Geysers the beautiful Lake, and the Grand Canon of the Yellowstone. The tour will leave New York and Philadelphia, Saturday, July 5, and re turn Sunday, sflilv 20. Round-trip tickets, covering all necessary expenses for the entire trip, including one berth in Pullman sleeper, will be sold at rate of $l5O from all points on the Pennsyl vania Railroad east of Pitjsbnrg.

During the .three days at the Convention iu Minneapolis. July 7 to 9, inclusive, t bis palatial train will be at the command of the tourists, obviating the necessity of securing ac commodations at hotels. The beauties of the Yellowstone Na tional Park, most aptly termed Nature's Wonderland, must be seen to be appre ciated. From the top of the stages in which the tour of the Park is made, there is spread out before the traveler a constantly-changing panorama of wonders snow-crowned mountains; tumbling and tossing rivers; Yelllow stone Lake, like a great blue sea nestled amongst the beetling crags, at an alti tude above that of the summit of Mt. Washington; the curious natural springs where chemical deposits glisten in the sun's rays with all the colors of tbe rainbow; and the Geysers, ever present ing a scene of varied charm and awe inspiring wonder. The accommodations cn this tour will necessarily be limited, and intending tonrists should apply early in order to secure reservations of space.

When I Say That The Davis Sewing Machine leads all others, it is not merely to fill a column with an advertisement. I mean that no other machine is so simple' I mean that no other machine is so finely made! And that no other machine is so easily run! The "Davis" is polished like a watch; it will not kill a woman to run it; it will do more than double the variety of work, without basting, than any other machine can do. All other sewing-machine men acknowledge this, but says, "Onr's is the cheapest." But I say that to buy a cheap sewing ma chine is not economy. The best is al ways the cheapest. I also sell Behr Bros' Matchless Pianos. For further imformation address W. B. MCCANDLESS, McCandless, Pa. Art in W:ill Paper.
