Mr.. Crawford is popular in the
state. He is an eloquent and force

lawyer. He was attorney general ut

Mr., Crawford was a candidate fol

Worlds CostIiest Knife.

The most valuable knife in the world according to the Westminster Gazette IS to be seen in the collection of a famous firm of cutters in Sheffield. It is large enough to fit the pocket of none but a giant, and contains seventy-five blades which close up like those of an ordinary knife. Each of the larger blades is elaborately engraved, and among the sub- jects of these strange pictures are views of Sheffield College, the city of York Windsor castle, Arundel castle and a score of other famous scenes. The hafts are of mother-of-pearl, carved with great skill. On one side the artist has depict ed stag hunt, and on the other boar hunt. When asked as to the value of this knife, the firm replied: Well, we calcu- lated it up to 1920, but that was before it was finished. and then we ceased to es- tmate what 1t had cost"
