O cer Huse carried the boys to hi? heme and rave them breakfast, after whh hf- were curled to the p?Mo. known to those in charge of the Or phanage.

Dear Sir: The cheap paint to buy Is the one that covers more than you think; the. cheap one to wear is the one that is young when old. Mrs. Moore, of Kelsey, N. Y., bought 1G gallons Devoe to paint her house two coats; her painters said it would take that. Had 6 gallons left. Mr. James AcKiey s nouse, in jairo (Catskill Mountains), N. Y., was paint ed Devoe; it wore 14 years; and the paintwas in good condition then. He was going to paint, the last, we knew, though. That's the way to preserve a house; repaint when there's no occas ion. Yours truly, F. W. DEVOE & CO. Ice Men Hold Meeting.

Is morning at '3 a' m., looking for wit nesses for a case in the . Recorder's court and while Officer Johnson beat furiously with his billy on the door of a negno cabin trying to awake a sleep ing woman. Officer Earnhardt played second fiddle by executing a series of heart-rending stunts on the porch in order to add volume to the noise. The officers learned that a colored witness who was wanted to testify in a pending case, was on East Second street and as 3 a. m., is about the only I time the officers say they can find some of the colored population at home, they went down together this morning ! to summon a negro woman to court. Arriving at the house they found everything in darkness and doors; and windows all barred. OCcer Johnson looked at Officer Earnhard, who , was shivering in the cold and then by a - 'xvss of mental telepathy the two officers started to wake the sleeper. Of fice Johnson drew his billy cooly from Ms belt and began rapping one, two, three. There was no response. Then he doubled speed and seized the billy with both hands, while Officer Earn hardt smiled grimly and made com ments on Johnson's execution. Then Johnson grew, desperate and x Officer Earnhardt was touched by his friend'r trouble and he-doubled up in a bow knot and begin executing all kinds o unimaginable stunts, shaking the pore' almost down. The two officers con tinued their assault on the dwelling for five minutes, but there was no sound from within and finally they stopped, cast a disappointed glance at the unyielding door, locked arms and walked off together in silence. 9rWI!BlBiai!aiBiaiSIBffi!B)EiCl5ieiS!E.IBiW a a n B m u w ii 2 tx m -- f ssxKfl!ZiKX!Bais'iB:tfia!a;aiiiiiiBiiffiaiiit What Hi Henry claims is - the best minstrel show he has ever presented will appear at the Academy of Music tomorrow, matinee and night.

The com pany is entirely new this season. Among the leading artists are Arthur Deming, one comedian, Johfi Dove, Jas. Corrigan, the Brothers Latoy, the Bar telli Troupe of Belgian star acrobats, J.
