Letter to P. Brady.
Aspermont. Texas.
Dear Sir: If a customer wants
S35.5U you don't give him $75.
Suppose you should hear of one
of your customers doing a thing
like that and not knowing it,
what would you say next time he
wants discount?
We'll venture half your men
are doing that very thing with-
out a suspicion.
Men who paint any other paint
than Devoe are paying £75 for
S35.50 or some other such figure.
10 gallons Devre is enough for
a good-size house two coats; 15 or
20 isn't too much of another
paint. There's S8.75 or S17.50
for 5 or 10 extra gallons; besides
$2 to S4 a gallon for putting it on;
that's $10 to $40. That's how
half the houses stores factories
warehouses shops barns fences
are painted; $50 for paint and
labor; $25 to $50 more for not
knowing what paint to put-on.
The one to put-on is the paint
that takes least gallons and makes
least bills for paint and labor.
Yours truly,
40 F. W. Dkvoi: & Co.

Much of the unhappiness which
sometimes attends married life
owes its origin to a lack of the
amenities and courtesies which
were so assiduously practiced by
both parties before marriage.
The feeling that it is not worth
while to keep them up is answer-
able for much of the loss of re-
spect, want of chivalry and indif-
ference which gradually lead to
the decay of affection. In the
same way brothers and sisters
rub off the bloom of fraternal re-
gard by the absence of those gen-
tle and respectful manners with
which they greet all outside
friends. Insensibly they become
careless, indifferent, and rude,
and black looks, hard words, and
sharp answers poison the home
which might have been the haven
of peace and happiness had not
the respect for one another's per-
sonality been broken down.

GENERAL
The french say it requires the
presence of three generations to
make a perfect home, and we are
glad to see that the grandmother
is becoming more highly appre-
ciated in" this country, as she no
longer confines herself to the
chimney corner and her knitting
but takes a kindly interest in all
that goes on; keeps mind and
body disciplined by stud\rand ac-
tive, useful participation in what
is going on around her, and is as
careful of herappearanceas when
she was a young girl.

Grandma On Matrimony.
Matrimony is not wholly a fail-
ure or success. It is not a failure
for the masculine member of the
contracting party. In nine cases
out of ten he has married a wo-
man a great deal too good for
him; he has (I speak of the lot of
the great majority of women)
gained a housekeeper, cook,seam-
stress, laundress, and later in
married life a nurse and gover-
ness; he has gained a deferential
listener, and firm believer in all
he does and sa3rs, for of course a
wife has implicit faith in her hus-
band; he has gained a valuable
waiter, something which he
needs, for early in married life
he develops helplessness in a re-
markable degree, he can never
find anything, even after his wife
has described the exact location
of the desired article, neither can
he put on acollarornecktie with-
out her assistance. "Goodness
only knows" how he did it before
marraige. For all this he expects
to give and she to receive board
and clothes.
She has lost her freedom and
her name; she has to work twice
as hard as in her girlhood, even
if she then earned her own liv
ing. Then she always had money
of her own tospendas she pleased;
now, in addition to home duties,
she many times works for others
—*'it is so nice to have a little
money for my very own," she
says. Of course, she does not do
anything at home to entitle her
to a part of her husbands earn-
ings as her "very own."
63- the time she has been mar-
ried ten years she looks ten years
older than the sister who is only
two years her junior, and her
husband is usually the one to re-
mark it, but of course he is not
to blame.
The person that stands on the
street corner looking around for
something to gossip about 01* to
find fault with, can always find
what he is looking for. But what
a life he lives. His soul shrivels
and withers until it is shown in
his manner and looks. For such
a person life has lost its savor. It
becomes sour, misanthropic,
whining. He passes from bad to
worse and sees no good in any-
body. His taxes are always too
high, no matter how low they be
and he cusses his neighbor be-
cause his neighbor is prosperous
and enjoys life. In fact, he hates
himself, is a menace to a town's
prosperity, a foe to God and no
good to the devil. These persons
seem to be a necessary evil in
every town. They ought to be
put out.
One of our town girls recently
sent 25 cents for a receipt to pro-
mote and preserve beauty. She
received the following reply:
"Mind your mother and stay at
home niafhts.
