WATCHES TN THE pAwNsHops.
Always the First Articles to Be Pledged
 in Distress.

in Distress.
 Most people suppose, said a down town pawnbroker, the other evening, according to the Baltimore News, that when man goes broke the first thing he thinks of pawning is his dress suit, but that's not so. While there might be some that do this, they arc few and far between. By long odds, the great majority of those in distress first put up their watches. In big city like this, with clocks on every hand, watch is almost an unneces- sary luxury on the street, and so this Is the first article pawned. Watches are, so to speak, drug in the pawn shop. We get so many of them that we often wonder where they come from- You might think that we never would have occasion to lend money on wedding rings, but you would be wrong, for we have several of them now. woman must be in distress to pledge her wedding ring, and yet it is often done. We have engagement rings, too, but not so many in num- Der as wedding rings. Sometimes men pawn engagement rings. We simply take that as a sign that they have broken an engagement, but when woman comes to us with one of them we know she needs money. I'ye made quite study of pawnshops,e contin- aed the broker, and I find that in the majority of cases the dress of the per son asking for a loan on some article has a great deal to do with the amount received. If the pawnbroker sees a well-dressed person In front of him he will naturally argue that he ot she Is a little short of funds for the t!rne be- ing, but will return and take the article out of pledge in a few days. If, on the contrary, the person asking loan be poorly dressed, there Is little chance that he or she will get a fair amount on it. In the latter case the pawn broker usually offers only what he thinks the article will bring at private or public sale, with the amount of hla interest deducted"

Josephine and Napoleon's son.

Apropos of the French Napoleonic drama now being played at the Nou- veau theater, and entitled 'Le Roi do Rome" an interesting communication to the Gaulois states that Joseephine only once saw Napoleon's boy. It had long been her ardent wish to set eyes on him, and at length Napoleon him. self took the child, then two years old, to Malmaison. The little fellow took a great fancy to Josephine, and said: 'I love you; you are good. You must come back to Paris with us,and live at the Tuileries.' The emperor is said to have been much moved by the in- terview, and hastily terminated it, say- ing, We must go, my boy; wish tha lady good bye. ."-London Chronicle.
