Letter to R. Todd. I
V WELSH, LA.
'r Dear Sir: The cheap paint to buy is
the one that covers more than you 1
id think; the cheap one to wear is the 1
, one that is young when old.
la Mrs Moore, of Kelsey, N Y, bought
". 16 gallons Devoe to paint her house
two coats: her painters said it would j
II take that. Had 6 gallons left.
Mr James Ackley's house, in Cairo
(Catskill Mountains)' N Y, was
painted Devoe: it wore 14 years; and j
the paint was in good condition then.
He was going to paint, the last we
knew, though. That's the way to
a preserve a house; repaint when there's
no occasion.
1 Yours truly

Love Finds a Way. d
1 Fashionable weddings find prom- ,
inent place in the papers; reaý this,
c as coming from the other end of the
line, says the Lake Charles Press.
One day last week as the foreman of
t a large lumbering camp in Calcasieu
1 parish was returning from his daily
duties with his crew, he was accosted
by a couple, who standing before
him, hand in hand, announced
that they had run awavl from
home; sixt. miles distant, where
a cruel fate frowned on their love,
and they asked two things-first,
that the nuptial knot be tied with a
round turn and a couple of half
hitches: secondly, that the bride.
groom be given work. The camp
foreman at once attended to the
hitching part.
The bride was pleasantly gowned iti
a Mother Hubbard which fitted loose
ly in the back and front likewise at
the sides, and was gathered up here
and there by her finagers as she ner
vously handled her costume.
The bridegroom wore a complete
suit of overalls and jumper, the
former having one leg from the knee
Sdown patched with a different colored
material.
' The happy young couple buckled
down to work; the groom is cutting
logs in his wedding suit.
