PRINCE LEOPOLD OF DEssAU.-Old Prince
Leopold of Desssu was one of the most extraor-
binary men of any age. He invented the iron

Dessau was little independent principality

army, aud a revenue of about fifty thousand dol

Leopold, in early youth, fell deeply in love
with a beautiful young lady, Mademoiselle Eos.
She was the daughter of an apothecary. His
aristocratic friends were shocked at the idea of
90 unequal a marriage. The sturdy will of Leo
pold was unyielding. They sent HIM away un.
der q French tutor, to take the grand tour of
Europe. After an absence of fourteen months
he returned. The first thing he did was TO call
on Mademoiselle Eos. After that, he called up.
on his widowed mother. 1t was in vain to re-
sist the will of such man. In 1903 he married
her, and soon, by his splendid military services

With tender heart, Leopold was one of the
most stern and rugged of men. Spending his
whole life admist the storms of battles he seemed
ever insensible to fatigue, and regardless of all
physical comforts. And yet there was a vein of
truly feminine gentleness and tenderness in his
heart, which made him one of the most loving

temporary exhilaration, and leave the sys-

first effect has passed off, are too often re

More than 100000

OF these watches are now speaking for them
selves in the pockets of the people-a proof
and guarantee of their superiority over all
others.
The superior organization and great extent
Of the Company's Works at Wsltham, enable
them to produce watches at price which rem
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch, merely pay from p to % per cent
more for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbaeks, than the gold prices be-
fore the war. There is no other manufacture
of any kind in the United States of which this
can be said
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved of real
practical use. Having had the refusal of near
ly every invention in Matchmaking origina-
ting in this country or in Europe, only those
were finally adopted which severe testing by
the most skillful artisans in our works, and
long use on the part of the public, demonstra-
ted to be essential to correct and enduring
time-keeplng.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize
The invention and use of centre-piuion Of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the breakage of main springs, is
original with the American Watch Company,
who, having had the refusal of all other con-
trivances adopted Foggs's Patent pinion as
being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and lessen
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning ne
cessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder, keyless
watch is already decided success and great
improvement on any stem-winding watch in
the American market, and by far the cheapest
watch of its quality now offered to the public.
To those living in portions of the United States
where watchmakers do not abound, watches
with the above mentioned improvements which
tend to insure accuracy, cleanliness, durabil-
ity and convenience must prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by the Company.
To prevent imposition, buyers should see
that every watch should bear either Of the fol-
lowing trade marks.
