A Leadville Sermon.

[Moncure d. Conway in The Philadelphia Times
At one Of our evening entertainments Mr.. J.

America. read us sermon which he had taken
down as he heard it in Leadville. The service

"What would you do!" asked the fireman grin
OF the sooty engineer.
As the latter turned and look at him
With a patent, self-couplng sneer:

With another train In view
And found YOU couldn't stop or back,
Then what dye s'pose you'd dor

With look OF pluck on toast,

And the fireman gazed with mute respect
ON his chum. and fed the flame,
And wondered IL the train were wrecked,
II he would prove as game.
The engine tore the starlcss night
Into long. thin shreds Of dark.
And marked its headlong. reckless fight
With many blazing spark;
And the engineer on his locker perched,
Looked down on his humble friend.
Until on a switch the engine lurched
And cantcd end DER end.
And there in the broken, steaming wreck
The lucklcss fireman lay.
With a badly dislocatcd neck
And a general look Of decay.
And the passengers gazcd upon the smash.
Where the ditch and the engine bumped,
To see the engineer all hash;
But they didn't--hc had jumped,

A Story from Crump.

Mr.. Crump, the steward at the White
House during General Garfield's adj
ministraiion, and one of the most faithful
nurses. is now keeping a diningroom in
the old Club House building on New
York avenue. in this city. He tells many
interesting "reminiscences of President
Garfield's last illness, one of which is OF
the dav when the President first asked
him for glass of cold water. Crump
relates that the physicians had forbidden
him water, but the poor man begged so
hard and so pititul like that had frequent
" to leave the room to keep from violating
the doctors orders. When he found that
pleading would not serve his ends, then
he assumed an authoritative tone. and !
instantly became deaf. Then he tried
persuasion and cajoling; but | wouldn't
weaken until he suddenly called me to
him in low voice, and, with tears in his
eyes. said: .'Crump. would you refuse a
dying man a drink of water?'' mo, Mr..
President" answered: ''but you are not
dying" but, Crump." he added, feebiy
'.if you do not give it to me will die, !"
and he closed his eyes. | couldn't stand
that, and couldn't disobey the doctors.
But somehow or another just set a glass
OF spring water on the table by his bed.
and went to the window, and. hang me-
when returned ii that glass wasn't

him by placing glass with no water in

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, q large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
AS utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste Of precious metal is over
come, and the SANE soLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is OF
the most simple nature, as follows: a plate
Of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs. centres, bezels, SC. are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to ad-
nit Of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS Is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.
For sale BY all Jewellers. Ask for Illus
trated Catalogue and to see warrant.
