Offer No. 207.

A $500 solid gold Watch cannot be bought
for $50, but THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
offers Watch under the above number that
has all the appearance and most OF the
good qualities of a 500 Watch. You have
never seen a Watch like this, and your
jeweler has not either, although the works
are familiar 70 any jeweler, SO that in case
of accident there would be no trouble in
getting it repaired. YOu must therefore
depend upon MS for the description of the
latest, handsomest and best Watch made
by the great American Waltham Watch
Factory. Time and money have been liter
ally squandered in bringing this particular
Watch to perfection. The movement Tor
works. is made according 10 the celebrated
Waltham Riverside model, in which the two
nickel winding wheels are plainly seen.
The case is the thinnest filled watch-case
ever made. Remember, we mean that the
Watch when closed in the pocket is thin.
The lids of the case are the usual thickness,
and form perfect protection for the move
ment. 1t will not take up much room in
the pocket. This case is made of plate of
fine composition metal over which two
heavy sheets OF LAX. gold are drawn, making
case that is for all purposes "a good as
solid gold, and warranted for 20 years. A
written guarantee accompanies each Watch.
Every part which is subjected to constant
wear, such as the ring, thumb-pieee, joint
plugs, hinges, etc, is Of solid gold. The
works are especially recommended where
the most accurate time is required. This is
just the watch for doctors, lawyers, clergy
men, Post Commanders, aud all others who
wish really first-class article. As apresent
TO the Commander of your Post, it cannot
he excelled. 1t is so thin and convenient in
form that it will even make good and sat
isiactory ladies' watch, and it is especially
recommended for school-teachers and other
professional women on account of its accu-
racy, which is equaled by no watch made
especially for ladies'.
After Jan. l we are unable to say what
the price will be, and we reserve the right
to withdraw this offer at any time We will
send this watch by registered mail to any
of our subscribers for $50

Of q soapweed the boy saw far ahead, nearly
concealed behind the turn of an eminence,
an Indian, sitting on his horse like q
statue, looking back over the country his
band had travelled. Presently, as If sstls-
fed that there was no pursuit, the warrior
rode on.
"You see," said the hunter, "what a
watch the varmints keep. It'll be hard
job to locate 'em in the darkness, which is
what we've got to dc"
After nightfall the two riders advanced
more briskly. Cray's keen and practiced
eyes, helped by his knowledge of the savage
character and fine instinct as to the course
the Indians would be likely to take, enabled
the pursuers to keep their trail with little
loss of time in searching.
At last the hunter pointed ahead, telling
Harry to see the smoke, and after long look
ing the boy detected faint, distant
spire rising against the dark sky. They
went on now more slowly, watching and
listening at every step, until Gray whis-
pered:
''stay here with the horses while scou
ahead
He vanished in the darkness and was
gone a long time. The boy waited hour
after hour for his return, and inaction and
suspense were beginning to tell on his pa
thence when, far into the night, there came
to his ears the rustic of someone advancing
upon him. By the waving of the dingy
sombrero Harry saw that the conner was

"I've got 'em located" q" he said 'They're
tucked away SO cunnin' that nigh missed
'em altogether. Well take our horses a
little nearer and then try what we can do to
rout EN-
Stealing through the darkness they
paused against the side of ridge into
which opened deep, pocket-like hollow.
They're at the head O. the holler," whis-
pered Cray. "We1l leave our horses here

look their camp.
Creeping to the upland above the hollow
they worked round to that point of the
break of the hill where the shades of night
we're deepest, and looked down upon the

SLEEP As A FATTENER.

The Man Who Wishes to Reduce His Avoir-
dupois Must Abjure Morpheus.
Did you ever hear Of anybody sleeping
himself fat? Mol Well, it's common
enough thing, assure you, says Prof. R. J.
Roberts, Physical Instructor at the Y. NJ.
C. A., of Boston, in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Almost every young man who
has lived leisurely all his life until he Is 30
will begin to show signs of fat at that age.
The usual theory that obtains is that man
only grows fat on the food that he consumes,
and technically that theory is all right. But
it makes all the difference in the world how
q man lives whether given amount of food
taken daily will have any increased effect
on his avoirdupois There are three simple
rules that try to enforce on men who como
to me to be cured Of fat. First, I say, "Est
less" Then, "Work more" And then,
"Sleep less"
have often noticed curious look In the
eye of the patient who is told to sleep less
He inwardly jests at such advice, or he
grumbles against 1t, and concludes that 1t
may be disregarded. But let me tell you,
sleep is the great fattener. 1t will produce
flesh more rapidly than anything else that
know of. The after-dinner nap is as bad
almost as an extra pound of food, and the
fat man who wants to get thin must give it
up entirely and absolutely.

down the eldest boy, who was wild to
escape him, but in the excitement OF the
brush with the wounded Indian the young
ster once more slipped away and his faxen
head was fast disappearing into the night
A buckskin lssss lay on the ground Harry
caught it, darssd after the runaway,
widening the loop as he ran. and flung it
with practiced hand. Jeering it toward
him with force suited to the stress of the
time, Master William Bottomly, caught
around the body, came back through the air,
back to his friends head first in haste.
'Now for our horsesp called Gray.
With the little girl under the arm which
held his rifle, the hunter stopped to pick up
the youngest child which, lying against
fallen Indian, was waving its arms and legs
and shrieking Justify. Something held the
youngster fast to the spot, and in tearing
him away the hunter discovered that an
arrow had pinned its baggy woolen trousers
fast to the body of the dead warrior.
The children recognised their deliverers
and gave no more trouble as the party
hurried down tho hollow. Round the
shoulder of the hill the horses were stand
little ones before them, the rescuers dashed
away under the cover of darkness.
Southwest over the plain they sped, push
ing their horses to the utmost After the
first swift dash the rescuers saved their
horses strength by dismounting and walk
ing up the hills, forcing their pace along
the declivities and level spaces. No signs
of pursuit came to them, and the rise of
dawn showed the rolling plains with no
human figure in sight About the middle
of the forenoon Cray shot an antelope.

The Bottomleys had returned to their |
ranch the evening before to find their chill |
iren gone and their houses burned. 1t was
very late before the alarm could be given |
1t Fort Lyon, but the early sunrise saw a
,avlry troop with dozen scouts and cow
boys riding northeast in pursuit of the In
diana Toward noon they spied a distant
group on the prairie, and dashing down
upon them they saw Harry Msrwood, his
head pillowed upon his saddle, lying asleep
near two grazing ponies. At fire of buff
'alo chips Cray the hunter was broiling
antelope steaks for the bedraggled little
who, Happy as young birds in
nest, were devourl ig the tender pieces with

Great Danger in Coming From Out-of-
Doors Into . Warm Room.
DR.. B. w. Richardson, In one Of those ad-
mirable papers in which he is wont, in his
own words, ito avert danger by teaching
elepentary principles, and by making the
unlearned the participators in his own
learning" investigates the reasons why a
cold wave is invariably followed by in
creased mortality, and a few simple rules
which can advantageously be borne IN
mind. Clothing is the first thing to attend
to. To have the body, during variable
weather, such as now obtains, well envel-
oped from head to foot in non-conducting
substance is essential, and the clothing Of
the poor e5sc.ively is one of the best forms
that philanthropy can take. In sitting
rooms and in bedrooms the maintenance Of
an eduable temperature is equally essential,
and fire In the BEDROOM encourages venti-
lation, and gives health nc less than COM
fort. In going from q warm into a cold at
mosphere, in breasting the wave of low
tstsperature, no one can harm by starting
forth thoroughly warm; but in returning
from the cold into the warm the act should
always be accomplished gradually.
The wave of low temperature requires to
be met by good, nutritious, warm food.
Heat-forming foods, such as bread, sugar,
butter, oatmeal porridge, and potatoes, are
of special use at this time of the year. 1t is
an entire mistake to suppose that the wave
Of cold is neutralized in any sense by the
use of alcoholics When q glass of hot
brandy and water warns the cold man, the
credit belongs to the hot water, and any dis
credit that may follow to the brandy. So
far from alcohol checking the cold in action
it goes with it, and Herewith aids in ar
resting the motion of the heart in the liv-
ing animal, because it reduces oxidation.
Excessive exercise of the body, and over
work, either Of body or mind, should be
avoided, especially during these seasons
when sudden fall of temperature is of
frequent occurrence. For exhaustion,
whether physical or mental, means loss of
motion in the organism; and loss of motion
is the same as loss of heat.

LIGHTED FOR A NIGHT.

Electricity Harnessed to Please q Gay Party
Of Dancers In . Earn.
A suggestive use of the electric light
provided by temporary installation has
been made In New Jersey. A prominent
society lady conceived the idea of giving a
ball in the new stock'b barn on her property.
A shed was put up in which an electric
light plant was installed. The steam was
furnished by locomotive boilers which had
been dragged up the mountain side. The
contiguous grounds and the entrance to the
barn were studded with arc lights, and the
lu1uriantly drsped dressing rooms were
bright with mum mberless incandescents. The
most beautiful lighting effect was naturally
in the barn itself, which was 250 feet by so
feet, and about so feet high. From different
points along the side swung streamers of
mountain laurel, and on these, at regular
interals, were hung yellow pumpkins, in
side of which 16 candle-power lamps were
burning. Alternating with these were
other lights of various colors, and. the warm,
rich glow of the whole was peculiarly
effective. At each end of the barn were
huge crescents Of rhododendrons, from the
dark shining leaves of which countless tiny
lights shone out.

The countless paths Of graveyards DER,
They are not numbered with the dead
For life is life forevermore.
If life be life, the motor power
Unseen by man. unearthed by God,
BY both untouched, mounts high the towe!
That leverlike uplifts the rod.
That rod, unseen, that moves the world
And holds the planets in their turn,
For God hath wrought, and well unfurled
His heavenly scroll, that we may learn.
For God is God, His might the force,
Unfathomed, by ken, Of human mind
That hurls on space the universe
And counts the throbbings Of tho wind.
God is to us-of ALA part
That makes life blessed, His the beams
That makes the gladnees of the heart,
And gilds for us, all of LIES dreams.
Then what is God? His works proclaim
That God is life, throughout all space.
II God be life-and life be God,
Then we, His works, do share his name.
A part of God: how rich the claimi
'Twert better far than mines OF gold;
We little ones, who bear His name,
Hold deeds and titles yet untold.
