A Contemplate Act.

Yesterday morning while MiehBl
Carney, an 8-year. old news boy, was
passing Sixth and French streets selling
the Sunday Critic, he was stopped by .
man who said he wanted paper, and
asked the boy If he had any change.
When the little fellow pulled out his
money, the man took quarter Of a
dollar out of his hand and walked off
with it, the boy following, and vainly
pleading for the return of his hard
earned money. Any one who is con.
temptible enough to rob poor boy, not
able to defend himself, is certainly a
tit candidate for the whipping post.

OUR GENERATIONS CHANGES
There are thousands of people living

pected slavery and other fixed insti-
tutions to be brought to an end in
their day and generation. Those
wrongs to down trodden race were
deemed invincible, but yet one gen.
Grafton has seen them blotted out,
and now the present one sees just as
great evils confronted with an army
just as strong as any that ever waged
war for the benefit to the oppressed.
Change is written everywhere. The
ills and woes of mankind are claim
ing attention, and the coming gener-
alton can erect the monument over
many of the flourishing evils of to-
day. In no profession is there more
advancement being made than in
the science of medicine. Physicians
are learning to practice common
sense as well as medicine. They are
beginning to prescribe Peruno for a
large numbe Of the complaints of
mankind, and with astonishing sue
cess. They should keep on in the
good work and the end is assured.

In SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from the
necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, large proportion of metal is
needed only TO stifen and bold the en-
graved portions in place, and supply
strength. The surplus gold is actually
needless. In James Boss Patent Gold
Watch Cases this waste is saved, and
solidity and strength increased by sim
pie process, at one-half the cost A plate
of solid gold is soldered on each side of a
plate of hard nickel composition metal,
and the three are then passed between poll
ished steel rollers From this the casos,
backs, centers, bezels, etc., are cut and
shaped by dies and formers. The gold is
thick enough to admit OF all kin5s of
chasing, engraving and engine turning.
These cases have been worn perfectly
smooth by use without rem owing the
gold. This is the only case made under
this process. Each case is accompanied
with valid guarantee signed by the
manufacturers warranting it to run 20
years. $50, 900 of these cases now carried
in the United States and Canada. Largest
and Oldest factory. Established 1854.
