When you cover a house with a coat of good paint it. is not an expenseâ€"in is an invest- ment. It pays dividends in the increased life of the structure. The amount of the dividend paid depends upon what. brand of paint you use. To secure the largest profit you must use It costs no more per gallon than some brands. but acets less than any by the square yard of surface covered and is the most profitable paint of all hecause it lasts longer than the Others. \Ve are ex- clusive agents for Pearcy’s Pure Mixed Paint.

Leaders in this country have not thrown overbourd Other Inch ofiond A false standard of honesty is set up. hoaever. when men say of one who has died that he handled mil- lions. yet remained poor. Honesty Still has to do with the way he hand- led those millions. A man should be held as striCtly accountable for what he does for his party as what he does for himself. A dishonesty is as real in one case as the other. From top to bottom of our politics incalculable damage is done by this idea that no individual whatever. but that head- less and bodiless and soulless thing The Party, is accountable for any Crime or misdemeanor committed in ‘ its behalf. It is not so Men who ltices. but these in time ruin the E party and condemn it to failure, de~ ifeat and disgrace We have seen it i more than once. While excuses are ‘found for those who do evil for the sparty’s sake. we shall continue to see it, for dishonesty spreads to the vitals of a party as a malignant dis 'ease spreads through the body of a 2 man.

Sweet DURHAM CHRONICLE BIG U. S. St. Catharines, June 15 â€"â€"Some an-1 noyance has been created among the! promoters of the “ Made-in Canada” fair which opens in the St. Catharines Armories Monday. in aid of the hos- pital under the auspices of the ladies of St. Catharines, over the action of the firm. whose head men are Ameri Cans, in stringing a big American flag over their exhibit. It is felt that this is not only very ill-timed, in view of the name under which the fair is held, but also owing to the faC’S that it is being held in the Armories. The firm may be asked to either lower their flag or else substi- tute asmaller one. as the banner now up seems out of all proportion. It is not thought that it was a deliberate case of hoisxing the Stars and Stripes where they shouldn’t be hoisted. but men ly of thoughtlessnes on the part of those who did it. .‘IISS FERGUSON was not; only happy in her numbers but, her sweet contralto did them full justice.”â€" Ottawa.

W'e came to acertain hotel. and there. to mv amazement. the man registered "H. C Phrhmoznyrrh ” ” What is the matter with you ?” I exclaimed “ Why do you adopt that remarkable| alias? Have you committed some crime ?” “No, indeed.” said Turner.‘ “Then why don’t you register your own name ?" said I. “That is my own name.” he answered. "Phth- olognyrrhâ€"â€"Turner. That’s my‘ name “ Well ” I said, “ I can’t see how you make ‘Turner’ out of ‘Phth- olognyrrh.’ What is your object any- way, in using such a peculiar spell- ing?" ” Oh ” said my friend, "when I used to register plain ~Turner,’ I attracted no attention. N ow, though. my name excites a great deal of won- daring comment. Peeple study it. They ask one another what my na- tionality can be. Even now, you will notice. there isa little crowd buzzing over the register. ‘Phtholo- gnyrrh’ is good English spelling for ‘Turner’ too In the ‘phth’ there is the sound of 't’ as in ‘phthisis.’ In the ‘olo’ there is the sound of 'ur’ as in ‘colonel.’ The ‘gn’ is 'n’ as in 'gnat.’ Finally, in the ‘yrrh’ there is the sound of ‘er’ as in 'myrrh.’ There you have it.
