It seems that he wanted a little ' spending money and asked his grand mother, who is very ill, so much so that her mind was wandering at times to give him some money aad she at once took a roll of bills from under her pillow and gave them to him, the roll contalng somewhere near $40. The little fellow took the money, and though no doubt very mueh surprised at this unexpected liberality, decided to have a little extra Christmas, andstruck out for Jonesvllle, where he spent the day it is supposed and came back home on the night train. He brought the money back with him except what little he had blowed in dbring his trip. ? "Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer The secret is out and Union can go i on nving just as if the riddle had had never been asked. | No it oan't, either. Union is not going to be what it was before. Its houses are going to be brighter; its people a little more prosperous?they . are going to have some of their money ' left to buy other things with. The answer to the riddle is this: you can paint a building with fewer ' gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc paint than with mixed paints, and it will wear several times as long as a building painted with lead and oil mixed by hand. There's proof abundant of It all over the United States. There will soon be proof abundant of it in Union. What will people do with the rest of their money? s Mr. Jeff Scott Dead. MY: T.
