Belle Vernon Coal company of Pitts

very noticeable falling off in the regis

ent Byrnes says that the police force
Is making every effort to prevent any

admitted the police are more active

ENOUGH

cheap watch will do as well as good one,
and that all the difference in watches IL
the price. May be that it required
a plain looking but honest timekeeper,
when somebody else generally offers You
a gold watch for $3.50 and-just for good-
ness sake--throws In gold chain and
charm. OF course II is all a tame
schwindle," as the Jew said when he went
up In the balloon and couldn't find the sll-
yer lining of the cloud. 1t happens every
now and then that a person sends of for
a gold watch, gets It, and then loses faith
in watches and humanity for ever and
ever We think il would pay you to caIl
on us and see II we have what you want,
and If we can't suit you at all out Of
large stock of watches, why-it Is time
enough then TO send out Of town for s2.Sa
gold watch.
