BACK AT HIS POST.

adapted From the Denver Post1
When fellow gets back from vaca-
tion and sees
once again the big town of his love,
And feels once again the enlivening
breeze
mat sweeps from the hillsides above;
when he meets with embraces like
hugs of bear
That lessen his usual girth.
He's ready to kiss the big Bible ana
That there's only one Akron ON earth
On pinions of silence his memory flies
Back over the trails he has trod.
The beauties beneath semi-tropical
skies
Where flowers bespangle the sod;
Great cities Of grandeur that never
can wane,
Proud temples of fabulous worth, :
Yet reused from his dreaming, he
huns the refrain:
There is only one Akron on earth.
No skies are so fair as tie arching Of
blue
That smiles on the Queen of the hills;
No mortals more brave than the sub
jects so true
In whose veins her atmosphere
thrills.
Where torrents of business flow on
with a roar
Or round the homes hallowed
hearth,
Sizes model OF pride and a queen to
the core
There is only one Akron ON earth.

Parquetry Flooring.

1t is almost needless TO men,
tion the advantages yof Hard
wood floors over the health
destroying, moth breeding and
uncleanly carpets in the resi-
dence.
They have come to be consid-
cred indispensable in the we'll
regulated household, not only in
homes of the wealthy, but where
economy is to be taken into ac-
count; the cost Of repeated re-
newals of carpet, which is con-
tinually wearing out, being no
small item in the course Of a few
years.
The Parquetry floors will last
for generations, and the expense
of keeping them polished is prob
ably less than removing and
cleaning the ordinary carpet.
Especially do physicians
recommend these floors from
sanitary point of view.
We have noticed that foreign
ers understand the care of these
floors better than our own peo-
pie, from the fact that in Europe
the polished Hardwood floor has
been in universal use for hun
dreds of years, carpets being the
rarity. ~
The occasional remark that
"bare floors are so cheerless,"
comes wholly from the impress
sion given by an ordinary pine
floor, and not from having seen
the effect of a well-laid Par
quetry floor.
We will lay and finish your
floors for less money than good
carpets would cost you.
We will keep your floors in
perfect condition for less money
than it costs you every year to
clean house.
A good Hardwood floor will
last lifetime, as we know of
floors in store rooms which have
been down for thirty years and
are good yet.
1t is no trouble for us to SUBJ
init designs and estimates, and
it would be our pleasure to hear
from you.
