The Gentleman Wins.

If you speak the right word at
the right time; if you are careful
TO leave people with good inn
preston; if you do not trespass on
the rights of others; if you always
think of others as we'll as of your
self; ifyou do not forget the cour-
tesies which belong 10 your posi-
ton you are sure TO accomplish
much in life which others with
equal abilities failed to. This ia
where the race is not to the swift
nor the battle to the strong. 1t is
where you make people feel that
you are unselfish and honorable,
truthful and sincere. This is what
society is looking for in men, and
it is astonishing how much men
are able to win for self-respect ard
success and usefulness who pos
sess these qualities of good breed
ing. 1t is almost the turning
point OF success in practical life

MAKING WATCHES.

Defective Watch Cases are one of the
chief causes of so many watches not
being good time pieces The cases boz
ing thin and not fitting well, admit
dust and dirt to the movement, which
soon interferes with the running parts
ofthe watch necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing, &c, and the amount thus paid
out if applied toward buying a good
case in the beginning, would have
saved all this trouble and expense. We
have recently seen case that meets
these requirements, it having been
carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS.
BOSS PATENT STIFFENED GOLD
CASE, which has become one Of the
staple articles of the Jewellery trade,
possessing as it does so many advanta-
ges over all other watch cases. being
made of two heavy plates ofsolid gold
over plate of composition, and we
advise all our readers to ask their
Jeweler for card or catalogue that
will explain the InanutI IN which they
are made.
1t is the only Stifened Case made
with two plates of gold, seamless pen
danls and center, solid joints, crown
pieces, &C, all OF which are covered by
letters patent. Therefore buy no case
before consulting Jeweler who keeps
the JAS. BOSS Patent Stiffened Gold
Case, that you may learn the difference
between it and all limitations that claim
to be equally as good.
For sale by all responsible Jewellers.
ASK to see the warrant that accom- pa

at any other make of case is as good.

The light shades Of green that have
covered the hills hereabouts all sum-
mer and beautified the canyons, have
somewhat faded away and the sombre
brown OF the sagebrush has closed in

has passed away, and we are on the
verge of winter. There is no such
thing as fall up here-at least not what
is experienced in the States. There is
no indian summer-when nut gather
ing and cider making are in order.
The waving corn is something un-
known. These things can be wit
messed only in the minds eve and by
the aid OF memory which takes the So
journer in this vale of tears back to
other days that are gone never to re-
turn. But prospector would rather

A Piute Astronomer.

The New York Sun says: "a chief
OF the Piute tribe OF Indians, who
roam over In Nevada, was asked what
he thought of the comets. The chief
wrapped his robe closely around his
body, stood erect, and pointed up
ward, declared that the sun is the
chief OF the heavens, the moon is the
suns squaw, and the stars are his
children. The great sun must eat,
and, therefore, when he feels hungry
he catches one of his children and
swallows IL. The poor moon Is very
fond of her children, yet is doomed
every month to see one of them de-
voured by their unnatural father.
She then goes into mourning, so deep
that she even paints her face black.
Fortunately, however. the paint grad
ually wears off, and she shines forth
az bright as ever until her next loss. ]"
