ready for use on Sunday, it was pur
chased through W. A. F. Grohman of
Butler.
—Last Saturday was a poor day for
"making hay." But few people
~ware In form, and the tew can
didates who stood about the
Conrt House went indoors occasionally
to get wanned. Some of them wish
the thing was over, so that they conld
get »t their Spring work. Five weeks
more of suspense is a dreary ontlook for

to get new hands. Clement A. Sasse
is the foreman.
—The old brick building lately occu
pied by the Koch brothers at the corner
of Main and Mifflin Sts., and which has
just been demolished, was built just
after the war, or about 40 years ago by
Henry Wagner. Jacob Keck was its
'first tenant, with a stock of furniture,
and he paid Wagner $5 a month rent
for the whole building. Wagner sold
to the Burton brothers, they to Duffy
and he to the Koch brothers.
—Don't snub a boy because he woars !
shabby clothes. When Edieon, the in
ventor. first entered Boston, he wore a
pair of linen breeches in the depth of
winter. Don't snub a boy because his
honse is plain and unpretending. Abra
ham Lincoln's early home was in a log
cabin. Don't snub a boy because of the
ignorance of his parents Shakespeare,
was the son of a man who was not able
to write his own name. Don't snnb a
boy because he chooses a humble posi
tion. The author of "Pilgrim's Pro
gress" was a t'nker. Don't snob a boy
of physical disability. Milton was
blind. Don't snub a boy because of
dullness in his lessons. Hograth, the
celebrated painter and engraver, was a
atnpid boy at his books. Don't snnb
anybody. Not only because some day
be may outstrip you in the race of life,
bnt because it is neither kind nor right,
nor Christian like.—Ex.
—lf the townships of Bntlei county
Intend taking advantage of the State
Road law, it is perfectly proper and
natural that Butler township, from its
central position, surrounding the coun
ty "eat and market town of the county,
ahoald lead oft—to be followed by the
other townships as they come in order.
Butler township now has some of the
worst roads in the county, their im
provement would be a benefit to every
body who comes here overland, and the
cost to the township would be nothing
compared to the increase in the value
of the land. Four-sixths of the cost is
to be borne by the state, one-sixth by
the county and one-sixth by the town
ship—what better con Id be asked tort
—unless it would be some entirely new
road* leading around instead of over the
hills. We see no reason why the Coun
ty Commissioners should not approve of
the request of the Supervisors of Butler
twp., and get the thing started as soon
M possible, for if this is not done the
county's share of the state's appropria
tion for roads reverts to the general

Letter to John Humphrey,
Butler Pa.
Dear Sir: Mr N Avery. Delhi N Y
had two houses exactly alike, and pain
ted them; one Devoe lead-and-zinc; the
other barytes-and zinc. He paid same
price for both paints.
Be need six gallons lead-and-zinc, 12
gallons buiytes-and-zinc.
He paid $lB for painting lead and-zinc.
$36 for painting barytes-and-zinc.
The total cost of lead-and-zinc job
was $27; the total cost of barytes-and
zinc job was $54.
He didn't know he was buying barytes;
the dealer told him that paint was as
good as Devoe.
A fair example of how it generally
comes-out, when you buy "something
just as good." Better go by the name;
the name; and the name is Devoe.
Yours truly

The Silver Slipper—Apr. 26.
It might be interesting to the ladies
who will visit the sensation of Mr. John
C. Fisher's stupendous musical produc
tion. "The Silver Slipper,"at the Majes
tic Theatre on Wednesday; to know it
is possible that the series of magnificent
gowns iind Costumes are kept in such
thorough repair and cleanliness. This
Idea will, no doubt, strike them when
they place their glasses upon the gowns
worn by this company. Should any one
say that there is a wardrobe staff, or, in
in other words, that the company car
ries no less than five clever seamstresses
or dressmakers, and that in addition
there are also, crated and boxed, five
sewing machines, which are always
sent to the theatre on the first load, it
would easily be believed. But so it is.
Winsome Winnie-Apr. 27.
In "Winsome Winnie", the romantic
musical comedy which comes to the
Majestic Theatre Thurs. Miss Paule
Edwardes, one of the most magnetic
and vivacious of comediennes, has found
it is said, a delightful vehicle for her
talents. Of the making of musical ooip
edies, there seems to bo no end, but
"Winsome Winnie" is not as other mus
ical comedies. It is, in reality a light,
romatic opera brought up-to-date by the
chief accesories of singable music, lots
of pretty women, quick action, dainty
costumes and fetching dances.
