CurtOus MilestopeS

One of the oldest milestones is TO be
seen in the museum at Leicester, Eng
land 1t is cylindrical block of sand
stone roughly inscribed with an alb
breviated statement to the effect that
it was erected during the emperorship
of Caesar Hadrian, son of Trajan, con-
queror of Parthia. 1t also says: ITO
Leicester, two miles"
The Hadrian milestone was discov-
cred over century ago beside the an
cient Fosse way and narrowly escaped
being converted into a lawn-roller by
the unromantic and practical finder.
Though a couple of thousand years
old the Hadrian stone is more deciph-
cradle than many of the milestones of
modern days scattered throughout
England. An unreliable milepOst is
something to spoil ones temper as cy-
clists In the country can testify. This
country, of course, is far worse off
than England in the way of mile
stones But il is strange that on the
old highway running between New
York and Albany one finds moscow
cred stones erected when George III.

A Gard to the Public.

We respectfully request every family in
the county to at least examine the Star
chest when the statesmen call This is
our means of advertising our goods and
the company pays its men good salaries
for this express purpose and requires
them to show the chest at every house
if possible, whether the parties wish to
buy or not.
Our company has gone TO heavy out
lay of money IN equipping its factory and
getting its business established on solid
basis, and our main interest is conferred
in the future of the business, and it is
the ambition of the company to make
the Star chest as staple a household
article as the cook stove, sewing machine
or any other piece of furniture
There are many irresponsible agents
on the road OF questionable character
and wholly INSCRIPTIONS as to their
manner of doing business. selling various
kinds of goods, who, if admitted into a
house to display their samples, will
"bore the people to death" for their pat
ronage, and if they fail to get it will feel
offended and show their dissatisfac tion
very plainly by their words and actions.
We take this opportunity of assuring
the public that such will not be the case
with any of our men, and if you are kind
enough to look at the sample, you will
not be bored for an order, but will be
kindly thanked for your time and atten-
ton and in every way treated courteous
ly, whether you purchase or not, and we
feel that our men deserve and will get
the same kind and courteous treatment
from the public.
Our company makes it rule to en-
ploy none but sober, upright business
men-men who conduct themselves as
gentlemen whether at home or abroad,
and their continuance with the company
depends more on their proper conduct
than it does on the amount of immediate
business they do.
As to the responsibility Of the com
pany, we refer to the National Bank of
Commerce, Kansas City, Mo, and Sec
ond National Bank, Cincinnati or through
your home banks at Paw Paw.
Thanking our many patrons and the
public generally for the encouragement
given thus far, we are,
Very respectfully,

Through the bars Of shifting cloud, 70 oes
Where iron reef and white wave met
sullenly at the doors OF hell.
II saw the great ships dying throe,
As one with dim, drawn face, who sees
A dumb beast In the agonles,
And may not help, and cannot go;
And, peering still from windwrought

IL watched amid the swirl and strife
Unl0vely atoms, each life,
Tossed on the uproar OF the waves.
