BOND 800 YEARS OLD.

Adeibert Zuents, who lives in Jefferson
City. Mo, has a bond over three ceutu-
ries old, which he thinks VIII he worth
millions 10 him some day, says the Chi-
cago Inter-Ocean.
In l567 there lived I'm Upper Bavaria one
John Schobur. q man OF some dignity,
who performed valiant service for the
then Duke OF Upper and Lower Bavaria.
Just what that service was the inforns-
tion obtainable at this late date does not
specify, but the reigning Duke issued 10
him q bond for 1000 guldens. worth ap-
proximately $1,000 in American money.
The bond bears interest at the rate of 5
per cent. compounded every year. and no
part of the principal or interest on il has
ever been paid.
II is this bond that is the hope and
pride, largely hope, OF a German family
now living at Jefferson City. If II did not
have to be discounted IL would be worth
the snug sum OF 81 1o0, 600. .e00-more money
than the Goulds. Vanderbilts. RoclSecei-
lers. Senator Clark. Astors. Armours and
the other well-to-do men carry in their
bank accounts The rate of interest and
the contract make the face value OF the
bond double every IA years. and as this
has been going on for three and one-half
centuries. the interest for one year siono
would be fortune.
The possessor OF the bond. Adclbero
