Worth More After it Was Broken.

"The mending of china in this city is
increasing in proportion to the amount of
fine china being introduced into the
houses of the wealthy" said Harry For
rester, to a reporter for the Washington
Post. ''In Europe the art of mending
china is one that occupies a great many
people and that calls forth the greatest
degree of skill. This is so from the fact
that heirlooms in family cannot be re-
placed and every effort is made to pre-
serve them after being broken when they
are in the form of china. You would
think that the breaking of bowl would
reduce its value a great deal, but there
are pieces of such china in Europe that
have been broken into dozen pieces,
put together again and are then worth
more than before the calamity.
"Of course such cases have arisen only
when the breaking was connected with
some historic event that created a relic
of the broken piece. There was punch
bowl, l remember, for sale in a china
store of Berlin some years ago. The
present Emperor, then a Prince, visited
the store and in looking over the goods
accidently broke one of the handsomest
pieces of chinaware there. He at once
offered to pay for it at any price the
dealer should name, but the latter being
equal to the occcsion insisted that he
could not take money for it, but said
that if the Prince would but write line
saying that he had accidently broken the
bowl it would cause no loss. The note
was written and without the Princes
knowledge was attached on the mended
china. The price that had formerly been
on it was increased four-fold, the bowl
was sold, and after the Prince became
Emperor it was worth many times what
it had brought at the last sale"
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1890-02-05

ner this time said I, and Uncle Dick was
so tickled with the prospect that he set
up the drinks all around.
"Just as the glasses was filled, I heard
the tramp of hoofs outside, and horses
head was stuck in at the door; and over
it and beyond, caught glimpse of Alb
Skinner and big double -barrelled shot
gun.
You know me, he yelled. Il am
Alb Skinner-a white man and a gentle
man--and too good to mix with the
drunken, cowardly cut-throats that hang
around this ranch. Do you hear meP
eyes, they heard him. Six-shooters
CLEANED all over the room. The pro-
prietor leaped over the bar with a
Sharp's carbine in his hand, and Uncle

than ever.
"Then two shots were fred-the two
barrels of Abs shot gun-in quick sue
cession, and, as the smoke filed the
room, it seemed to me that my eyes
had been torn from my head, and l had
swallowed bushel of fire. In the midst
of my agony listened for more shooting,
but failed to hear it. Instead the air was
filled with coughs and sneezes mixed
with loud but broken bursts of profan-
ity. l did not know then, but l learned
afterward, that Abs gun contained, in
lieu of shot, about sixteen ounces of snuff
and Cayenne pepper, with enough pow
der behind it to blow it into the room,
and scatter it well through the atmos-
phere. 1t was a devilish, cruel scheme
to work on fellow, and if the men of
Rawhide City could have caught Skinner
that day they would have burnt him at
the stake without dissenting voice.
"a half-hour later Uncle Dick and 1
were down on Rawhlde Creek, with about
forty more tough-looking citizens, wash
ing the snuff and pepper from our eyes,
when Deputy Smith strolled up, and
tenderedus a slip of paper which set forth
in SINNERS unmistakable scrawl, that
The bearer has paid over the money
placed in his hands, and will hand you
two dollars and fifty cents to be invested
in eye-salve and blue goggles And that
was the last heard of Ab Skinner until
| got the news t'other day of his election
to the State Legislature from the same
Rawhide County, where he gobbled all
of my small change, ruined the prospects
of my return North, nearly put out my
eyes, and broke me of betting on another
mans game. Yankee Blade.
