How Flat Watches Took Place 81 Ii

How Flat Watches Took Place Of the
Old Time "Turnips.'
When the neat man takes unto HIM
self watch as thin as parchment he
little thinks that that thin watch re-
suits from army regula tions.
up to the time Of the allies taking
Paris the ordinary watch was convex
in shape and called from its outline a
s'turnip.' The officers Of tile Russian
and other armies objected to this be-
cause its dubious form made the uni
form of a man on parade look untidy,
whether 1t were carried in the coatSor
the fob. In Paris, however, they found
that the watchmakers Of the Palais
Royal had eontrived a chronometer
which got over the difficulty.
Flat watches were the fashion in
Paris. The English when they APP
peared in the streets Of the French
capital marched In not in gala dress
such as the others wore, but in the
raiment which they had worn on CAM
paign. Great was the impression
which their habiliments created, but
they at once adopted the smart fiat
watch and brought it back to England
for our own manufa cturers to copy.

a MESSAGE FROM MARS.

Ebenezer was driving his masters
plow straight and true, but none the
less with a thoughtful air, as though
his thoughts We're elsewhere, And so
they we're they We're soaring far
aloft above the plow and the brown
earth turned up as to reach Mars.
The previous evening Ebenezer had
attended d lecture at the village school
room on The Heavens and what the
lecturer had said about Mars being in
habited profoundly impressed Eben-
ezer. AS he Mechanically guided his
horses and his pillow something struck
him suddenly on the head, and he
dropped senseless to the ground. a
balloonist passing overhead had acci-
dentally dropped an empty whisky bot
file upon Ebenezer's fortunately thick
skull. When he recovered conscious
ness the balloon had passed out OF sight,
but the cut on his head and the blood
stained bottle at his feet remained.
/ Ebeneger gasped In amazement and
awe as he gazed all around the wide
brown fields and the blue sky above.
Then he picked up the bottle and
smeIled at 1T and at once deserted his
team in great excitement and set OFF

No Gain and Some Loss.

Eyes" the leader Of the amateur
brass band was saying, its curious
to see what an effect learning to play
a horn has on some persons. i used to
be a pretty good bass singer, but 4

the voice?' asked his next door neigh

"a meeting was held by the CONNER
/ ycial club in regard to the waterworks
proposition for Mandan. About a
year ago a party by the name of
n H. Michaels Of Mansfield, Ohio, was
here in regard to the waterWorks
proposition, but at that time the mat
ter was not enthusiastically received.
He was invited to come again and
look the field over and submit a propo-
sition.
A WaterWorks system can be put in
\ Mandan at very reasonable figure
and there is no reason why the city
itself cannot finance a waterWorks
] system, and the profits to be made
out Of it used for the benefit of the
taxpayers.
Under proper management mu-
nieipal WaterWorks system could be
made to pay for itself in a few years.

Main street yesterday afternoon by
a runaway team. 1t seems that Ed
Daily recently purchased a horse
which showed considerable broncho
tendencies in the way of kicking fore

need there is for more money to
explore and develop i. thousand
improved prospects in this section,
to say nothing Of the partially de-
veloped properties that only require
a little more capital to put them al
most Immediately upon a producing
or diyidend-paying basis.
1t was because we felt this to be
the great need of the district that
VIC instituted the Miner. We aim
in each issue to do something to-
wards the education of the public
with regard to the country's oppor-
tunities and prospects. Had we a
large enough circulation we would
in time accomplish our object and
the name Occur d. Alene would be-
come an understood and household
word throughout the length and
breadth Of the land.
The unaided resources Of a new
publication are not, however, COM
petcnt to accomplish such result
in any reasonable time. Such ef-
forts must be systematically second
ed by the community to effect the
most good. We solicit and are pre-
pared to accept all aid in that di-
rection provided it does not prove
to be merely an effort to advance
some individual fortune under pre-
tense Of public service.
A booster" club Of some sort
should be instituted, preferably by
the Wallace Board Of Trade. There
is no other organization to take up
the work and if the old one will live
up to its duties no new association
is needed. The Miner will COOP
crate with any organization that
takes up the work and we have no
doubt the rest OF the press OF the
county will be found equally will
ing to do its share.
