Legend of Hangmen's Stone.
Numerous lnrge bowlders In. Kng
land as well ns In this country have
received the name of the hangman'
stone, as a result of a legend which
nttnehes much the same story to each.
There were two fiends In the parish ot
Foremark. In Derbyshire, called the
Great and the Little Hangman's Stone,
from !he boulders which they con
tained. The former was five or six feet
high, with an Indentation running,
across the top. This peculiar mark
xvas explained by tradition, as follows:
Once npon a time a thief, having
stolen a sheep, plnced his booty on the
top of the stone while he rested, but
It slipped off and strangled the man
with the rope which tied the sheep to
his back, the Indentation being made
by the friction of the rope passing
hack and forth In the struggles of the
dying man to extricate himself.
Daniel Webster's Warning.
The last hopes of manklml, therefor-,
rest with ns ; and If It should be
proclaimed that our example had he
rons" nn ungurjient against the experi
ment, the knell of popular liberty
would be sounded throughout the
earth Dnnlel Webster.

Save American Blood
Buy More War Stamps
The government must have money now. The de
cision is soon lo be made for or against America.
Which way it will go depends upon the money loan
ed the government to carry on the war.
The more money loaned our government the
sooner the wnr will end ihe lew American blood
will be shed.
The government has issued two billion dollars
in war securities in the form of 25-cent "Thrift
Stamps" and $5 "War Savings Slamps."
The $5 "War Savings Stumps are little govern
ment bonds, hearing 4 per cent compound interest.
They cost 4.13 now. The 25 cent Thrift Stamps
do not bear interest, bill sixteen of them are worth
4 in payment 0,1 a 15 stamp which doeR.
These "baby bonds" are intended for investors
who are not able to loan the government more than
''." cents or $5 at a time, but they can be bought in a
inounts up to $1,000.
We sell both kinds of stamps for the Govern
ment. Let us tell you about them.
