HUMOROUS 
Why Is It that the ocean moans? 
That’s what I’d like to know; 
It may he that the lobster 
Has pinehed Its under-tow. 
—Chicago Journal. 
“Do you boil your drinking water to 
kill the microbes?” “No. What’s the 
use? I’d as soon be an aquarium as a 
cemetery.”—Milwaukee Sentinel. 
Miffkins : “What would you do if I 
was to call you a liar?” Biffkins: “I’d 
mention vour indiscretion to the coroner 
at the inquest.”—Chicago Daily News. 
The new member: “I suppose you 
never thought I’d be elected to the Leg¬ 
islature, did you, ’Rastus?” The Waiter: 
“No, sah; but de Lawd’s will be done.”— 
Judge. 
Newed: “Don’t you believe that mar¬ 
riage broadens a man?” Oldwed: “Well, 
I don’t know about that; but it usjually 
makes him shorter.”—Cleveland Plain 
Dealer. 
Workman: “I got married yesterday, 
sir. Can you give me a rise in wages?” 
The Boss: “I’m afraid not. The firm

that happen outside the works.”—Ally 
Sloper. 
Cittiman : “Look here, sir, didn’t you 
warrant the horse you sold me yester¬ 
day to be without fault?” David Ha-

sir, he is not; he interferes.” David 
Harum: “Wal, I don’t see as you hev 
any reason for complainin’ about that. 
He don’t interfere with anybody but him¬ 
self, does he?”—Lippincott’s.

rable, 03 >mical and 
labor-saving roof. Ama- 
tite tops them all. 
Let us look into the subject 
more fully. 
With any other roof there is 
the necessary preparation be¬ 
fore you can begin the work. 
With shingles—the slow, la¬ 
borious work of nailing each 
shingle separately, matching 
and chalk-lining each row. 
With Tin—matching, solder¬ 
ing, painting—then the ever¬ 
lasting keeping it painted, 
year after year, so it won’t leak. 
With ordinary ready roofings 
—paint! paint! paint! 
With Amatite—you can nail 
it down yourself, over your 
“new roof or your old shingled 
Or tin roof, and there you are. 
No worry, no fuss, no 
expense. 
Could you possibly find 
any other roofing to so 
completely meet every re¬ 
quirement ? 
And your expense cease9 
after you have purchased 
enough Amatite for the job. 
There need be no saving 
to repair the barn roof next 
spring. You will not need it. 
Amatite doesn’t need to be 
repaired every year or so; 
it requires no painting or 
coating of any kind to make 
it last from one season to an¬ 
other. Amatite is waterproof, 
weatherproof and repairproof.'

: . You Need a NEW Roof 
Your present one Is leaking and worn beyond repair. Why not put on a roof this 
time that will outlast, your building and never cost another cent during the rest of your 
life? What’s the use of spending anymore of your hard earned money for short-lived 
shingles, tin, metal or composition roofs that require constant painting and repairs ? Why 
not buy a sanitary, fire-proof, handsome, “ never-wear-out ” SLATE E.OOF—one that will 
end your roofing troubles forever and increase tho attractiveness an d selling value of your 
property ? A 
Sea Green or Purple Slate Roof 
Costs Little More than Short-Lived Roofing 
and the actual value added to your property more than makes up the difference. This is 
an absolute fact. BUILDINGS ROOFED WITH SLATE HAVE A HIGHER MARKET 
VALu'E. Sea Green and Purple Roofing slate is nature’s own product, solid rock, quarried 
from the depths of the earth and split into convenient form for laying. It is the only 
roofing material known that is not affected by heat or cold, drought or moisture. It 
cannot wear out, warp, rust or decay! TTyour building on which it is placed lasts a 
hundred years, the Sea Green or Purple Slate Roof will still be in good condition. It is the 
only roof that will insure pure cistern water and protection from lire and lightning—tho 
only one that will give your buildings the improved appearance and added value that 
makes them better than your neighbor’s who does not use Slate. ANY building, old or 
new can be roofed with slate. 
Out FREE is yours for the asking. It tells all about the different roofings 
and will save you money. Don’t wait. Write for it now. Give
