GOT THE DESIRED BABY FOOD.
Father of a Starving YOungster
Shows He Is Something OF
Diplomat.

"What shall we do for the baby?"
was often asked in a certain West
side household recently And GER
tainly the baby needed something. 1t
was pale and puny and seemed half
starved. The child was at the inter
mediary age when its natural food
was insufficient, and still it was too
young for beefsteak and potatoes,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"The child must have some baby
food" said the mother.
"Yes," SAID. the father, "he could
have it if | were rich. 1t would cost
So a week at least to supply him with
baby food, and l get only $40
week"
"But you are not going to let him
starye?" she returned.
mo, I will manage to get it," he
said. "If you will press my suit,
dear, l will try to get some food to-
morrow"
"What has the suit to do with it?"
she asked.
"You will see" he said.
So next day the father of the starv-
ing young one went down town. He
wore his Sunday suit that had done
service for two years. When he en-
tered one of the big drug stores he
ooked to be worth at least $4,000 a
ear. To a clerk he said:
II called to see about baby foods.
Our child is in need of some auxiliary
nourishment, but do not know what
to get for him. My wife says our
cook told the second girl that you
might probably furnish us with some
samples of the various kinds Of
foods you carry in stock. If you can
do that we will try them and then /
can order supply of the kind that
best agrees with the child"
Certainly" said the clerk, and a
package containing samples Of seven
kinds of baby food was forthcoming.
The quantity was sufficient to last
month. When the supply is exhaust
ed he will go to another drug store
and tell the clerk what the cook toad

CHANGE IN WATCHES.
Ths Bills Eye of n Century Ago and
the Modern Machine-Made
Timepiece.

The almost total disappearance of
the old-fashioned "bull's-eye" silver
watches is a source OF wonderment
to even some watch dealers. 1t is
practically impossible to pick up one
now among them. A Chicago Trib-
une reporter made the rounds of the
watch, pawn and junk shops in quest
of one of these old timepieces, and
did not find it. One dealer said he
knew where single specimen was,
but later admitted that the owner
either had sold or lost it. \ veteran
matchmaker, who can make a watch
by hand, In referring to the disap-
pearance of the "bull's-eyes," said:
1T is only natural, | suppose, that
they should disappear. None of them
were frst-class timepieces. I mean
that the hest of them would vary
as much as a minute a week. The
cheaper machine-made watches keep
better time and cost less. The first
of these old 'bull's-eyes' carried the
regulation Virdge movement. One
hundred years ago the Nirdge
watches were carried by all business
men. Later the English watchmakers
made 'bull's-eyes' with improvements
on the Virdge movement. ! haven't
seen Nirdge for two or three years.
As matter Of fact. those old-fash-
toned key-winding silver watches are
worth only what the silver in the
cases amounts to. The metal repre-
sents about dollar in value. TIL
works are worthless. Only one or
two small wheels are taken out by
the dealers. Sometimes they are
useful in repairing family herlooms.
What are they worth? Why, nothing
at all as timepieces. The best way
to get one is to keep on inquiring
among the grandfathers and great
uncles until you run across one, and
then beg it or buy it. 1t is practical
~ worthless, except as a relic"
