WONDERS OF WATCHHAgING =
Queer TimsDIecsS Owned BIZ TIVE Of
EUgland'S Queens

among the treasures OF a Swiss mu-
scum, Inserted in the top Of an old FASH
Toned pencil case, is the tiniest watch
ever constructed. 1t is only three-six-
teenths Of an inch in diameter, and it's
little dial not only indicates hours, min
utes and seconds. but also the days OF
tne month So perfectly formed is this
iliiipuuan watch that 1t keeps excel
lent time and is a marvellous biece OF
mechanical workmanship.
Two or the most elaborate and curi-
GUS watches which the world has ever
seen belonged to Queen Elizabeth afsl
heT unfortunate contemporary, Mary,
queen of Scots. Good Queen Bess had
watch made for her in the form OF n
duck, with beautifully chased feathers.
the lower part of which opened. The
face was of silver, with an elaborate
gilt design, and the whole was kept in
case of brass, covered with black
leather thickly studded with big silver
knobs.
The i'll fated Mary was the possessor
of a watch in the form Of skull. The
dial was introduced where the palate
should have been, and TIE works occu-
pied the place Of brains in the oranf
I'm. In the hollow Of the skull, NOPE
over, was bell which had works of its
own and by means Of which a hammer
struck out the hours upon It.
One Of the choicest rarities OF the
Bernal collection was a book shaped
watch. This curious time indicator wus
made by order Of Bogislaus XIV, Duke
Of Pomerania. In the time Of Gustavus
Adolphus. On the face Of the book,
where the dial Of the watch is set,
there is an engraved inscription OF the
duke and his titles and armorial bear
ings, together with the date, 1927. On
the back the engravings are also very
finely and skillfully executed, among
them being the portraits Of two gentle
men Of the seventeenth century. The
dial plate is of silver, chased in relief,
while the lnsides are beautifully chased
with figures Of birds and foliage. The
watch has two separate movements and
q large, sweet toned bell. At the back.
over this bell. the metal is ornamental
ly pierced In a circle. with a dragon and

The owner of the bird thrust his
hands beneath his coat tails. swelled
out his chest. turned his head from
side to side and began to strut with q
ridiculous air. Then he burst forth:
THAT bird acts as if it owns the
earth. The way it struts about, and
its air of knowing it all remind me sc

Reason in madness! Lear, act 4, scene 6.
Mad as that classic chieftain on that
stormy night is our able District At
torney. Or else. and worse, he is the
most egregious runagate and forgotten
of those who nursed him that ever
strove to pollute the air of our devoted
State.
Yet once more the oracle speaks, and
this time more wildly and confusedly
than before It's ideas exhausted, it
rambles over lot of stuff we know in
regard to the significance Of the recent
Democratic gathering at Dover. Next it
apprises US Of the means and certainty
OF the success of the able District At
torney. We have followed those elabo-
rate calculations before. and they are
still amusing, though a bit wearisome.

smashers" Ca pretty word, isn't it?)
and the Democrats will be very 'inter-
Iesting" to Mr.. Byrne, as the Oracle
suggests.
Here the Oracle forgets its sanctity
and even common civility, and draws
an odious and very disparaging COM
parison between the eloquent, talented,
able District Attorney, who is going TO
do such splendid things, and a certain
citizen unfortunate enough to have
been placed in a position by the De-
mocracy where he must needs endure
this withering ordeal.
In its mutterings the Oracle men
lions the possibility of the removal
from Office OF a certain able man, Mr..
Byrne. Surely the all-wise Oracle
must feel that the incumbent has
proven himself unworthy of the posi-
tion-perhaps the Oracle has a con-
sciencel
'Tis well the infallible Oracle advises
us that the able Mr.. Byrne will be in
the campaign only till the evening Of
election day.
Here the Oracle. with a wink, inti-
mates that the able District Attorney
is saluting the boots of the Executive.
We do not believe the Executive is like
to be so caioled.
At length the Oracle goes clear crazy
and throws mud and nasty words at
those who gave what good to Mr. Byrne
he ever had; but alackl has lost
In the blatant finale of the maddened
Oracle the saddest thought we need is
that a young man with brilliant pros
poets has foundered in the wave Of his
own blind political ambition.

A GREAT REPupIAToR

William Michael Byrne for a num-
her Of years was one Of the most siren
uous opponents OF Addicks; he cons
tinued In this course till he had se-
cured one Of the most important Of
foes in the gift OF his party. When the
last National Convention was held he
was still a Regular and wrote numerous
letters to the Delaware delegates, CIV
ing them advice. But before that con-
vention had adjourned he began to
hedge. and It was whispered that his
numerous conferences were not solely
in the interest of the Regular Republi-
cans. In those former years he de-
clared his principles in most emphatic
language, and sought space in the
newspapers to advocate the stand for
principle.
Then cnme the change; he went
down to the Dover convention posing
ss a liberal Regular Republican; he
came away a full-hedged Addicksite,
fawning and jealous. A person with a
proper sense OF the proprieties would
have seen the necessity OF explaining
his change Of heart Such an one
would have declared that he had been
wrong and that he had honestly
changed his mind. But Mr. Byrne did
nothing Of the sort. He refused to ex-
plain his former uttenances, maintain
ing that he was still consistent, and on
the train coming from Dover rode foT
hours with arms around one whom he
had called by every epithet, and with
out having explained or justified his
conduct
II there are those who believe Mr.
Byrne's conduct is sincere, let them
contrast certain Of his more recent pub
iic uttcrances. He expressed regret
that he was compelled TO turn his bacl
on his political friends, those who had
made him. but declared that he had Nc
option, but must support the President
and intimated that he had the sup
port of the Administration In his nev
move. But let us notice that in hi
latest effusion he says in plain Ian
guage that he will get Of the ticket 70
nobody, and that even the President
wish cannot affect him. He will no
withdraw. even for Addicks or tn
Union Republican State COMMITTEES
Events are moving rapidly with Nj
Byrne; he left Democracy for Republi
canism. He removed from Republican
ism in order to embrace Addicksisn
under the guise Of supporting the Pres
dent but when he knows, or think
that the President disapproves h
course. he reDudiates him, and taldiI
the bit in his teeth. bolts.
It will be remembered, too, by MAJ
OF his acauaintances that just befo
the Republican convention he profess
great concern lest Dir. Ball should n
be nominated. He discovered a wO
derful plot among certain persons do'
the State to bring out another can
date in the Republican convention.

seems to have forgotten. Those v

will not be surprised at his next mo
no matter what it may be.

A Lay Suggestion.

On the last night of a series OF "pro-
tracted meetings" In the Methodist
church OF q little southern California
village the visiting evangelist was
making a special effort to obtain a
showing of anxious souls. He had
preached his best sermon and reached

then the evangelist rose again and call

How would you like to be John II
vandegrift, and after spending a life
Of hard work and self-denial. awake
some morning and hnd that a stranger
whom you had befriended years age
had left you a large fortune? Imagine
his feelings with the first instalment
of $4,000 tucked inside his vest, COM
ing back to his family and telling them
that their life OF toll and risld econ
omy is over. Not every man who is
given to doing acts of kindness gets
such reward, but John Vandegrift had
his true reward years ago when he be-
friended that stranger. He felt that
he had performed an act of common
humanity, and his reward was in the
satisfaction of a duty done. We all re-
ioice in his good fortune, but recog-
nize this new wealth, not as a reward
but as a gratuity.
