Minthorn, who has an authentic record
of 1t. 1t was made by Thomas Linford
of London in 1926, and in time came
into the possession of George III, who
presented it to Sir William johnson,
when he left England to take charge of
affairs in the colony of New York. Sir
William presented it to the famous In

was Sir Williams mistress.
I'm giving the watch to Brant Sir
William remarked that 1T was surely
worth 40 rebel scalps.' When Brant
had his headquarters in the Schoharie
valley, the watch was taken from him
with other booty by Evart Van Epps of
Fultonville, who was a paymaster in
the American army. Van Epps was aft

recovered the watch.

they make their appearance everywhere,

OF gentlemen commoners are entitled to

have the knob of wood instead of tin,

The Trim American Foot.

Several London newspapers have been
entertaining their readers during the
Whitsun holidays by a lively controver.
sy over the respective size and beauty
OF the feet of English and American
women. Some editors, in the face Of
overwhelming evidence, confess that
English feet are out of running in such
= controversy and console themselves
by asserting that the feet of Englishmen
are far more shapely than those of their
American brothers. There have been
many indignant protests against even
this admission. The shoe dealers, when
assured that they may speak incog., re-
gretfully admit that they are unable
to tit the trim American foot with any
shoe ready made for the fat and fiat
