HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In SOLID GoLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, large proportion of metal is
needed only to stifen and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
Jomes BosS Patent Gold Watch Gases this
WASTE is saved, and soLrpITY and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD Is soldered on each side of plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bese]s, etc, are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold Is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning.le These
cases haye been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This Is
fAs snly ease made under this process. Each
case i doocapanied rith a ralid guarantee
s;gsed By tie mansdctxrers waIranting ii 10
Uear 20 ycus. 10000 of these Cases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.

Turned Loose.

Two or three days ago an individ'
ual with voice like the grating o.
file, and a gift of CAB which took
the cake, halted a policeman on
Michigan avenue and wanted help
to find his wife, who had run away
from him in Ohio, taking the three
children, and was supposed to be in
Detroit. AS luck would have 1t, the
woman walked along on the oppo'
site side of the street as the men
stood talking, and the husband nc
sooner caught sight of her than he
dashed through the slush and halted
her with the exclamation:
Traitoress, have found you al
last Give me one sassy word,
and I'll send you to State Prison fol
life !"
She didn't seem greatly paralyzed
by the meeting. On the contrary
she waited till the officer came up
and then coolly asked:
"Were you looking for me?"
"Well, your husband says you
ran away from home"
Taking all my money and my
dear children" added the irate
husband.
"See here, Smiley Johnson" said
the woman as she leaned up against
a billboard, who paid for our mar
riage license?"
"Well, I-you-you happened to
pay for it."
"Who bought your wedding
clothes ?"
"You did, but l was to pay you
back"
Have you earned a dollar
since we were married? ?" she con-
tinued.
Haven't been working on pat
ent right every blessed day" he ask
ed in reply.
"And those dear children you re-
fer to-whose are they ?" Didn't
| have them before we were mar
ried ?"
IL believe you did,"
"And wasn't the home which l
left mine?"
"I expect it was"
And wasn't the money brought
along all mine?"
Probably it was"
swell, then, where's your case ?"
al can't see it." remarked the
officer.

She reached out and seized his
collar and gave him spin which
landed him against q telegraph pole

tions as would preclude all possibility OF our
missing the road. At the time, we consider
od this an act Of kindness on his part; but
circumstances made il quite certain that he
had been employed TO draw us into snare
already set for our apprehension.
After thanking the Mexican for his infor'
nation, we once more proceeded towards
San Miguel. About noon we arrived. at the
brow of a high steep and rocky hill, over
looking a narrow aud fertile valley through
which the Pecos was flowing. Immediately
below us was small collection of houses
aud some distance up the stream. but IN
plain sight was the village OF Cuesta. The
road leading into the valley ran directly
down the rocky sides of the hill, and was so
rough and broken that we were compelled
TO dismount and lead or drive our animals,
AS we slowly descended, we could plainly
500 that our approach had been discovered,
for there was commotion in all parts OF the
beautiful valley. Several horsemen Were
seen emerging from Cuesta, and dashing Mt
full speed, towards the spot where we must
first strike the level land. A point OF the
hill soon concealed them from our sight, and
when we finally reached the bottom not
single human being was visible in any di-
rection.

From Temple.

TEMPLE Texas, Sept. %, 1883
Ed. FREE PRESS The cotton season has
opened up lively here, and many new bales
are being brought into town every day.
The recent heavy rains, is said by the farm
ers to have tendency to made the top crop
produce more plentifully than was at first
anticipated Cotton reports show that this
is better market for cotton than Waco,
commanding ut least II half cent more per
pound, as will be seen from the market re-
port in the Tribune.
The Temple waterworks are now mn
insured success, having been Incorporated by
some of our most wealthy and substantial
citizens; capital stock one hundred thous-
and dollars. 1t will be a great blessing to
this town and community especially in
such drouthy seasons as we have exper-
fenced in the past. The company propose
sinking large wells in the bed of Knobs
creek, one mile below the city, forcing the
water into large Reservoir, from which the
town will be supplied.
Not to speak discouragingly of our city
at all, but to simply narrate plain fact,
there are more saloons in Temple, than in
any place of its size in the State and they
oil do good business. There are ten sa-
looms here most of which have their ''gamb-
ling hells" attached to them in the rear, and
they do thriving business.
The theatrical season has fairly opened up
here, and Temple WAS entertained by two
interesting performances few nights ago.
by the Arlingtons Comedy Company which
gave entire satisfaction to the audience.
There is also variety theatre establish ed
here which has been running for the past
two months, and they do a thriving bust
ness.
We have been favored with abundant
rains lately making glad the hearts of every
one The nights also have been very cool,
many are seen with overcoats on and the in
dications foretell the early approach of
winter.
Coles circus is billed to show in Belton,
the 25th of October, and it being only eight
miles from Temple many people from here
will doubtless attend. The Templeites feel
rather sighted by the show leaving her
"out in the cold" it having better railroad
facilities and being the better place of the
two, and the only way to account for this is
Temple being such q young place, they
have scarcely had time to find out there was
such place since they were in the State
last.
Temple is enjoying good trade but the
roads have been so muddy that there has not
been much cotton brought to town lately.
The Tribune is enjoying very fair pat
ronage now. and the friends and supporters
of the paper are sending copies to their
friends and relations in the old States induc-
ing them to come out and settle here.
Your correspondent wishes the FREE
PRESS abundant success, and hopes that il
may enjoy as long and good health as its
