Thete Seemed to be absolutely no reason whv it should h"*ve fallen, but an hour later when the builder came home to his midday meal, he remarked that at 11:15 he fell from the top of a building, bot happily without sustaining any injury. His wife then described how the clock bad fallen at the same time, and the couple ponder in vain over the curious and utterly inexplicable coincident.

George Washington came west to where Pittsburg now is when he was a young man, and had a great time i<et ting there and back He tried it twice afterwards— once with Hraddock and got left.

General Corbin's recommendation on the marriage of subalterns in the regu lar army goes a step farther than Secre tary Root's advice on the same topic a year or so ago. Secretary Root advised subalterns not to marry unless they were free from debt and able to sup port a family in moderate comfort, (ienerul Corbin now desires to proceed to the German imperial extremity of forbidding them to marry until they re spectfully exhibit and schedule to head quarters their financial provision for the future. Sarcastic commentators have already suggested, from the (Jen eral's own example, that a schedule of the bride's ansets would be accepted if it makes a good showing. Public HUIPH.

Dear Sirs: Clothing is just like paint: It fits or it dont, turns weather and water or not; and goes out of fashion What do we wear clothes tori D'.d you ever thinK of itV Different persons have different reasons, no doubt, but one paints Devoe for beauty, to be in the I'ashion, and keep-out water. Fashion says paint: we all paint. There is beanty in paint; we paint a good deal for that. And buildings are costly and fashionable; put-on a w?.ter proof two or three coats of paint and your buildings last as long as you keep them dry. It costs nothing to paint; it costs your buildings not to. D'.-voe is the paint that lasts: disap pointing paints are the points that cost. Yours truly 33 F W Devoe & Co P. S.
