William Penn's Compass
lnnkeeper Showed Instrument Which
Belonged 20 Colonizer.

Some time ago. while botanizlny
along the Usage River, in central Mis-
souri,, the writer stopped over night at
Gladstone, a small town in the south
ern part Of Morgan County. The To-
qnacious landlord Of the little inn, in
his anxious endeavors to make the time
pass agreeably. recited many war REM
inlscences, and incidentally dropped
the information that an old surveyors
compass. with an interesting history,
was a greatly priced relic of q family
of that vicinity. Interest in the story
was intensified when he further stated
that the compass was once the prop
crty OF William Penn. and that there
was much tradition and some recorded
evidence to prove that It was the iden-
teal instrument with which the nu-
cleus Of the present city OF Philadel-
phia was first surveyed.
"The name Of the family which owns
this rare historical treasure" said the
landlord, SIS McNeal. and they live
upon n small farm In the northern
part Of Camden County, six miles south
Of this place."
On the following day the pleasures
Of the botanical fields were forsaken,
