How Kdtch Cases az Addk

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture Of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making Of silycr cases.
Under the old methods, each part of .
silver case was made of several pieces Of
metal soldered together, requiring . great
amount Of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity Of silver.
Under the improved methodA each part
Of the keystone Silver Watch Case i made
Of one solid piece Of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering sohensit.
To test the superiority Of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one Of 8 o.. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while . cass Of sane
weight of any other make will give enough
tobreak the crystal. The keystone Silver
Watch Case Is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

A Nsw Career for Wsne..

In connection with the current talk
about the opening Of new careers to

that . lady whose mode of life recently

hid devoted her more mature years TO
the study Of law, and more particularly
to the law Of breach of promise. The
nOvelty OF her case consisted In the
nunber Of actions which she managed
10 run It the same time. In her last
case the unsnsceptble jury awarded her
only 6fty dollars. but on her cross-ex-
aminatioa In that case she confessed 70
having Just sued another gentleman.
whom she 'really loved" In spite Of
his seventy winters, and Of whom she
had obtained $500 damages. Ina third
case she il believed to have been more
successful stil, having induced the de-
PENDANT 20 compromise It BY . payment
of $1,000. Il Is perhaps in view Of the
enterprise Of this lady and Of others
who are carrying on q like lucrative in
dustry that IN English Judge remarked
in court the other day that he was not
at all surprised that many people advo-
Gated the abolition Of actions for breach
Of promise.

The Decreasing Humbug.


The greatest ice food ever
known in the west branch of the
Susquehanna river, Pa., was be-
fore the revolutionary war, when
cattle had to be driven out of the
valley to prevent their being
drowned or swept down stream
The next great food was in the
fall Of 1910, which carried out four
high frame bridges in Pine creek
township. Certainly these fresh
cts occurred before denudation
was even dreamed Of, and when
there were plenty of forests te
hold back the SHOWS and "drinh
up the moisture." VIII the wist

The grandest figure amid the
turmoil Of the South's effort for in
dependence, Gen. Lee rises far
above all his contemporaries on
either side as q commander, a gen.
eral and a soldier. In treating OF
him, Blaine had the opportunity OF
his life to prove to the world that
experience in public affairs had
elevated him in thought, at least,
and that twenty years after the
great contest he, an ex-Secretary
Of State of the United States and
an ex-senator and Representative,
largely responsible for the cruel,
vindictive, malevolent and infa-
nous reconstruction acts, even he
could do Justice to the immortal
dead of the Confedracy. Much
has been printed about the fair
ness of Blaine in this so-called his
tory. II this extract about Lee is
a sample of that fairness, the read
er may confidently look to find II
all on one side-that Of the major
ity at the North.-Appeal.

No Chance to Rectify Mistakes.

Ex.Governor Seymour.

be very liberal man aud uncom-

When he had any Of the produce

A Matter OF Local History.

The readers Of the Gazette will
remember that in the fall of 1880 q
young man known as Clarence
Winston located in Utica as q
practicing attorney; that in March
Of the following year q horse was
found in his possession stolen
from q Mr.. Lewis OF Vicksburg
and that upon the discovery Mr..
Winston left Utic,, and has not
since been heard from. These
facts we're published by us at the
time.
Afterward, Jesse James was
killed, and Frank James surren-
dered and submitted to trial.
This brought the whole outlaw
gang into prominence and from
the description given Of each
member 1t is now o we'll settled
fact the Clarence Winston and
Clarence Hite (of Jesse James
fame) were one and the same per-
son.
This reminds us that Dick Lid
dell also Of the same party lived
for - years at Bolton, where he
kept a saloon. His identity was
fully known by q gentleman Of
that place, who was bound to Sc
crecy. During his residence there
he came to Raymond and spent a
week at Mrs. Charlton's and left
without the public knowing who
he really was.
These statements are not fic.
tion and to a certain extent leads
as to believe that the famous gang
of robbers once operated In Kinds
county.-Raymond Gazette.

Neral influence Of the COsOanut.

Such is the quaint title Of an ar.
tleie in the May issue of the Pop
ular Science Monthly, by Grant
Allen. That distinguished author
says:
But the worst thing about the
coeoanut palm, the missionaries
always say, is the fatal fact that.
when once fairly started, it goes
on bearing fruit uninterruptedly
for forty years. This is very i'm
moral and wrong of the i'll condi-
toned tree, because it encourages
the idyllic Polynesian to lie under
the palms all day long, cooling his
limbs in the sea occasionally, spor-
ting with Amaryllis in the shade,
or with the tangles of Neara's
hair, and waiting for the nuts to
drop down in due time, when he
ought according to European no
tionsl to be killing himself with
hard work under a blazing sky,
raising cotton, sugar, indigo, and
coffee, for the immediate benefit
OF the white merchant. and the ul-
innate advantage of the British
public. 1t doesn't enforce habits
OF steady industry and persever.

it doesn't induce the native to
feel that burning desire for Man.
chester piece goods and the other
blessings of civilization which
ought properly to accompany the
propagation of the missionary in
foreign parts. You stick your
nut in the sand; you sit by a few
years and watch it growing; you
pick up the ripe fruits as they fall
from the tree; and you sell them
at last for illimitable red cloth to
the Manchester piece goods mer.
chant. Nothing could be more
simple or more satisfactory. And
yet it is difficult to see the precise
moral distinction between the

South Sea Islands and the owner

commercial England. Each loun-

About three years ago the fruit
trade Of New Orleans was born,
and at that time only three steam
ships were engaged in 1t. Now
there are seventeen steamships
bringing fruit to that city from
Central America and Palermo,
Italy, and the railroad officials say
that next year fully twenty-seven
or twenty.eight steamships will
engage in the trade, and the busi-
ness of that port will almost be
doubled. A short time ago, three
of the largest fruit dealers of New
York established themselves in
this business, and several more
will follow within the next twelve
months. The change of base on
the part Of the New York dealers
is due to the fact that the whole
country now recognizes that New
Orleans, in the course of four OF
five years, will be the largest fruit
market in the United States
Fruit from Palermo to New York
arrives In o damaged condition,
owing to the chill which 1t re-
ceives by ships passing through

Palermo to New Orleans, howey'

A Famous Humorist.

tRPpeo'I
Joel G. Harris, the famous hu.
morist of the Atlanta Constitution,
has had a strangely romantic ca
reer. His father was a missiona.
ry, aud it was at the small town Of
Boog.hia, on the southern coast
Of Africa, that Joel was born. He
was educated by his father, and
acquired a wonderful .acquaint-
aDce with foreign languages. He
is an adept Sanskrit scholar, and
is deeply versed in Hebralc and
Buddhist literature. The sweetly
quaint legends Of Indian and Ju-
dean mythology have found their
way into his simple southern tales,
and the spirit Of his philosophy is
identical with the teachings of
Moses and Buddha. Somessyears
before the civil war young Harris
came to America and taught
school in a village near Lake Tee.
teelootchkee, in Florida. While
thus employed he made the &C
quaintance of Sallie Ould Custis,
the daughter of a wealthy planter.
These two soon fell In love with
each other. Subsequently Harris
was engaged by Col. Custis as pri.
vate tutor for his children, and
there was no objection made to
the young mans attentions to Miss
Sallie, then a radiant creature oi
sixteen. The war came on; Col
Gusts raised a regiment with his
private means; young Harris en-
listed as private, and was speed
lily promoted to a captaincy. MOI
only did Col. Custis lose all hil
property by the rebellion, but II
the battle Of Columbia, s. c.,
grapeshot tore his lower limbs int
shreds. To gil his cup of bitter
ness, and to blight the life of Joe
Harris forever, the beautiful Sal
lie OuId Gusts died of yellow fe
yer the very day her lover AM
crippled father returned from fou
years of battling for their los
cause. Harris had but one mis-
sion in life now, and that was tn
support and comfort of the main
cd sire Of his deceased sweetheart
The two lived together in an ivy
covered cottage near Atlanta, an
the love the twain bear each otf
er is beautiful to contemplate. MI
