While the beautiful" lay on the
ground last week, 1 went to mill, one
half mile west of Lima, Stark Co.
This is the mill that was built by Sam
uel Logue, and in modern times own
ed by John Cotton. 1t is now in the
hands of man who has put it in good
running order, and has got new en-
gine. In the office of this mill saw
the following lines written on the par
titionby some one waiting for his grist:
Iwaited in this room,
Like any other sinner.
And warmed by the stove
-; W hile the miller went to dinner

To pass the time away.
So will write as people do
Who have nothing much to say.
1 will write of Wide Awake,
Who is telling evermor,
How cheaply goods are selling
At the Combination Store.
If he for week or two
Should lay down MS pen,
Another would taktj it up
And tell the tale again.
And spread the news around

Though little less in bulk
Than forty years ago

ARM BRoKEN.-Last Thursday af-
ternoon Mrs. E. Twitt, while out in
the yard at the family residence on
North Chestnut street, slipped and fell
upon the glary ice, breaking her right
arm near the wrist and severely bruis-
ing her right hand. She is reported as
gradually improving.
An old farmer in our office one day
last week made this very truthful OBJ
servation: When I was boy and
trudged along to school, I was taught
to take of my hat and make obeisance
whenever 1 met q grown person. How
is it now? Why, man is fortunate il
he can pass by q school house without
being snow-balled. ."-[ Elk.

Introduction OF the BOca Com.
panY's New Reer.

The perfection of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production of the
"Pilsener Beer"-it is of the most beauti-
full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as if it were
champagne. and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying q glass, its ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste. II
is delicate. with smart sm ack OF hops and
malt, and leaves lingering favor on the
tongue. One of its best qualities is its
lightness, causing no headache, even if
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to. if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and all orders
will be promptly executed by

Pretty soon, with yell and whoop.
twenty men galloped up the road with a
suggestive-looking rope dangling from
one of the saddles.
Poor Frank FASTENED to find Charley.
SHE found him sitting disconsolately on
the back porch.
"Why, Frank, what in the world are
tod doing herePh
"Oh, Charley, have you sold that mine
yetp Am / too late?"
''Too late for whatp Sold itp No and
don't believe l can. That man Bonn
sent the money up hyexpress and aroad
agent got away with the stage tonight,
and the money went with it. l don't
believe he'll risk another thousand on a
played-out mine"
'iOh, goodie!" cried Frank, "I've got
here in time. Road agentP Oh, that is
too rich. Oh, dear, oh dear, shall die
and Franks voice ended in a high
squeak of laughter.
Frank, Frank what is the matterF
What do you know about the road
agent?"
I Frank was holding to her sides in
despair of stopping her irrepressible
laugh.
'sRoad agentp There wasn't any
road agent at all; stopped the stage tc
get on, and the driver threw box al
m-e-e!"
"What does this mean, Frank. Tel
me. What were you doing on the road
at this time of night, all alonep"
1t took her long time to get the
story out, but she did, while Charley
stood with his mouth open wide enough
to represent his played-out claim witt
"$10,000 in sight.
No sooner had Frank told her story
than he caught her in his arms with {
wild shout: "You little darling, yot
shall have every cent of it,.
About two hours afterward a file o
disconsolate, disguised horsemen wend
ed their way up to the tavern, with
suggestive rope dangling from one o
the saddles" and d box containing
81, 1000.
It is sufficient to relate that Charlie,
did not sell his $4,000 in sight, but OF
the contrary received a much large
sum; sufficient, in fact, to make him
happier man financially and matri
monially. When enough of the stor
had been told in the bar-foom to &C
