There was an uncertainty about the

grand promoter and general organizer,
listened intently as he sat in his office
and for minute could not decide
whether 1t was bill collector, the
agent of the building or the tailor to
whom he owed SD. He at first decided
to leave the door locked and take no
chances, but as the steps finally re-
solved themselves into those Of q
stranger to the stairs he unlocked the
door, sat down at his desk and seemed
to be writing for life as some one turn

A Miller,s Monument.

A big milestone monument over O
modest miller's grave is a unique sight
near Graytown, o. The milestone is 10.
Gated in the center of an old burying
ground and can be seen mile away,
coming down the hill.
1t marks the last resting place of a
happy miller of the old school, who
knew not the cares or worries of ris-
ing or falling grain market, but who
ground his corn and wheat for his
neighbors and lived contentedly ON his
small profits.
Chiseled on the back Of the monu.
ment is this poem:
A MILLER'S MONUMENT.
IA milestone taken from his MILL
Beneath this stone miller lies,
Who left the world before the rise
OF modern ways Of making -four
And hence passed many happy houS.
He was not forced to speculate
Nor on Chicago's movement wait.
He did not care for foreign trade,
But sold his neighbors all he made.
Gables and kilograms were rare;
The markets did not make him swear.
Small was his mill. his profits round
Clear was his head, his slumbers sound.
He enyied none. he was envied not
And died contented with his lot.
