Butler, Pa.
Dear Sin: Here's what "fewer gal
lons" means:
Mr. N. A very of Delhi. N Y., owns
two houses exactly alike. He pointed
one with a mixed paint -took twelve
gallons. Painted the other with Devoe
—bought twelve gallons and had six
gallons left. Same painter George
Uilbert.
The secret Is: Duvoo Lead and Zinc
in one hundred per cent, paint; the
mixed paint was about fifty per cent,
paint and fifty per cent, adulteration.
Here is an nnal) ais of n mixed paint
sold in your neighborhood:
Lead, zinc and color 41 per cent.
Lime and China clay •'>!» " "
You see 59 per cent, is adulteration.
What is It for?
To fill the can; to take unfair advan
tage of your very natural and right de
sire to make your house painting cost as
little as possible.
The cheap paint is Devoe Lead and
Zinc because Its all paint no expense
for anything else and it does not
waste your money.
Yonrs truly,
F. \V. DEVOK & Co.,

P. S. Patterson Bros, sell our paint.

RESURRECTION —MAY 20.

of the great dramatic sensations of the
day. Henry Britoff, the Russian
scholar, speaking cf Resurrection, says;
"Resurrection is broad and deep and
high as life itself. It is an ocean—the
ocean of life—rocked by storm and
lulled to sleep and ease by a master
hind, which seems to hold the key to
the bosom of this ocean. In the splash
of every wave is heard the story of
human emotions, misery, disenchant
ment, suffering, crime- horrid, repul
sive crime And life—that js some
thing true iu art."

You thought oar »bi|M hut few, tuy boy*, and Yankee* could not light,
t'util brave Dewey met your fleet ami drove her out of Might;
You then went iuto harbor, boya, ami there at anchor »tood,
Hut there you auou found out, my buy*, that you must have aome foo«l.
We are all American*, my boya, Jimmy, John att l llnghey,
tint we hive an intetvating boy, boy*. and we will call him Dewey.
He met your fleet, inv boya, and fought them haul tn hand,
tint ha came off victorious, and did n.>t loo*e a man.
We are going to whip you Spanish boya, we nr.- going to do it now;
We are going to do it hard, my lioya, I won't just tell you how,
We are going to whip Cerv. ra whenever him we met;
We will dintroy yotir harbor, boya, and alnk yonr Spanish fleet.
We are going to whip vou Spaniah boys liecause we are in the right;
And we are Yankee boya and all know how to tight;
(>o home you Spanish lioya and go to work again,
Hut always mind thin thing was caused by blowing up the Maine.
I don't believe you Spanish boya will ever get home at all;
For we are going to diatroy you all both big, great and small;
The time will come, my boya, when Cuba will bo free,
And we will float the stars aud stripes over your country.
May Hod have mercy on you. boya, for you have tyrants been.
You haye oppressed the Cnbau boys whereever they were seen.
Repent yon Spanish boys and try to do well
Or if yon don't repent, my boys, yon will surely go to hades;
Or if yon don't repent, :ny boya, and di as you should.
You will never do any good.
Now gentlemen and ladies this song was a prediction.
But thinirs have happened so that it is not a fiction:
We done j nst as we said we would do when we began to fight,
Wc banished all the Spanish boys not one of them is in sight.
Now gentlemen and ladies I made this song myself.
And if you don't accept of it just lay it on the shelf:
And go to work my boys and see wlmt you can do.
And if yon make a better song I will surely apyjauit you.
CHORUS—Hurrah, hurrah for Sampson and for Schley,
Hnrrah for Dewey every day;
We have whipped these Spanish boys and drowned them in the sea;
As we went marching to victory.
