 COMPANY.
 Action on fire insurance policy.-Appeal

In loving memory of Robert W. D Jarnette, Sr. Born July a, ls4s. Die April IT, 1902. Son, husband. fathe, grandfather, friend. Passing out of the shadow,
 Into a purer light, Ster ping behind the curtain
 Getting a clearer sight, Laying aside the burden
 This weary mortal coil. Done with the worlds vexation
 Done with its tears and tolls. Tired of all earth's playthings,
 Heartsick and ready to sleep, Ready to bid our friends farewell.
 Wondering why they weep, Passing out of the shadow
 Into eternal day. Why do we call 1t dying,

FROM PARIS TO NATERRE.
French Dressmakers and Milliners
 Have Walking Match.

New York, Oct 26.--It is long time since any event has caused such sem sation as the walking competition just <held here by dressmakers and milliner xgirls says a Paris dispatch to The Her Hid. The place of rendezvous was the gardens of the Tuilleries Here they be- gan to arrive two hours before the time fixed for the start. The scene inside the xgarden was most picturesque. There were hundreds of girls of every kind. Their ages were from IA to 40, and their costumes were as varied as the wearers. # There were 1900 starters, and many of them took the matter quite seriously. *After their numbers were arranged the warning for the start was given and the #heavy gates of the garden swung on their hinges. By this time the crowd of sight beers was something enormous. There was not vacant seat on the place. while Elp the avenue des Champs Elysees, as Mar as the eye could reach, nothing could &be seen but serried lines of spectators
 On the Place de la Concord were couple bf companies of republican guards sup plerhented by a score of mounted men and h large force of police.
 # With difficulty a place was cleared for
 he 1900 contestants who faced the start er. A crack of the pistol and the walk No Naterre had begun. With the march, ers started a procession of automobiles, cabs and cycles, numbered by the thous- Rnds. The level ground to NeuiIly bridge was negotiated without difficulty, but out Nh the country several hills confronted he walkers and four or five miles from Naterre nearly half of the contestants had dropped out. Those who remained
