other wounds were found upon his per
son. He claims to have abused
and itupriosed by the authorities of the
state of Colorado, was coDfiued in the
"bull pen." and afterwards sent out of
the state in a freight car.
He made his way to Butler, and se
cured work in the Lead Works, and

Letter To Clias. Go<!« in,
Butler, Pa.
Dear Sir: If it took 10 gallons to paint
yonr honse last time with somebody
else's paint, and takes 8 with Devoe, we
save jon $$ or$10; for painting costs
two or three times as much as paint.
Mr Ezra Rafhtnell, Williamsport,Pa,
always used It gallons of mixed paint
f"r liis honse; Devoe took 6
Hut that isn't all: that's only first
cost; how long will it wear?
The paint that goes furthest in cover
ing. wears best too.
All paint, true paint, and full meas
ure, are on one side; part paint, false
paint, and short-measnre are on the
otlur. What can you expect?
Yours truly

the benefit of children onty, with the
intention of educating and elevating the
minds of the young by lessons set down

crow and Jack Pumpkinhead. Parents
who wished to investigate the society
before allowing the children to join have
insisted upon becoming members also,

it is hard to tell who is the most en
thusiastic. For full particulars see The
