"Oh. mol You want to leave them In

right here in the glass Of alcohol"
"Have you ever heard Of watch be-
ing restored several days after 1t got
into the WATER" asked the customer
"No. It's pretty hard to make much
out of a badly rusted watch"
cts strange. l have friend VINO
inherited a very fine watch from his
greatuncle, who was drowned in salt
water-off the Florida coast. 1t was
three DAYS before they recovered the
body. and all that time the watch lay
in the dead mans pocket filed Win
water. Afterward 1t was cleaned, and
now 1t runs as beautifully as ever"
Probably they fixed it as soon as II
was taken out of the water" remarked
the repairer. There you have as
tinction. AS long as a watch is under
water. where the air can't get at II, II
won't rust. It's only when 1t begins
to dry that it begins to rust so II you
haven't got any alcohol leaving your
watch In water is better than nothing
do they make cases that are water
tight?v asked the inquisitive outsider.
Its pretty difficult. They say -1ev
do. You see these window exhibits
of watches submerged in jars of water
But the ordinary watch case of com
merce is not water tight and probably
never will be. Well, you can call fol
your watch in about two weeks"

''that we Americans are not neglecting
one of the most important of the arts
the art of making friends.
at wouldn't do anybody a bit Of
harm to take half an hour of and sit
down to go over the accessions to his
friends within the past year or so. In
cidentally he might reflect on what he
has done in the way of keeping up old
friendships. 1t seems to me that peo
pie drift apart very quickly nowadays.
Absorption in business is one factor
making for this end Another is the
growing disinclination to keep up any
sort of correspondence, and a third is
a tendency. increasing as the years go
by, to let ones personal interest be-
come more centered. All Of these
things initiate against the making of
new friends as we'll as helping to
loosen the bonds holding the old ones.
1.-THE fault" he concluded, isn't in
the people whom we meet. It's in our
selves, and we might as well realize it.
Let US look for likable qualities and
not the reverse. There is such thing
as being too cautious about our ac-
quaintances and thus shutting our
selves off from much Of pleasure and
profit."-New York Press.

AN ANCIENT BIBLE.
Valuable Manuscript Treasured In
the cottonian Library.

the cottonian Library.
In the Cottonian library in England
is an old manuscript copy of part or
the Bible in Latin. This was used at
the coronation of English sogereigns
300 years before the ''stone of des-
tiny" was brought from Scone to west
minister by Edward l. In other words,
the use of this Bible for the purpose
in question dated back to the year
1000
The Bible is a quarto of PIT leaves,
containing the four gospels, and seems
from the style of the writing and IL
Nominations, which are very beauti-
fuI. to have been made about the end
of the ninth century.
The Testament escaped destruction
in the fire at Ashburnham House in
1871. of which 1t bears evidence on its
cr,lmpled leaves and ruined margins.
There is some evidence that the son
of Edward the Elder, Athelstan the
Glorious, who was king of the west
Saxons from 925 to $40, owned this
Bible and presented it to the church
of Dover.-P Philadelphia Record.

HYDE PARKS WIN.
Defeat the Randolph Locals At Quinn
by Field Saturday.

The Hyde Parks defeated the Ran
tolph Locals in an interesting game at
Quimby field Saturday afternoon by
score of 4to l. For the first four in
nings the two teams were evenly
matched, but after that the Hyde Park
players began to find Spinney and had
things pretty much their own way.
The Hyde Parks made seven hits and
the Randolphs four. One of the fea-
lures of the game was the difficult
catch in left field made by B. Turner
of the Hyde Parks. The batting order
of the two teams was as follows:
Randolph Locals-Cheney 2b, Moore

More About Charles Joseph.

When Charles Joseph the 16-year-old
colorcd youth from Jamaica, was placed
in cell at the police station Saturday
morning he related u story entirely diff
fcrent from that which he handed out to
the sympathizng public on Friday and
which was undoubtedly much nearer the
truth.
Running away appears to be one of
Charles Josephs strong points, for he
ran away from the almshouse after
spending Friday night there without
waiting to get his breakfast and came
down on the street where he was found
by City Marshal Cults and taken to tho
police station.
The revised version of his waidcrnSs
was TO the effect that Mr.. Trask of Ev-
crett. who figured in his story of the pre-
vious day. had taken him to Oakland and
found employment for him with farm
er there. The colored boy said the farm
err had worked him SO hard that he ran
away.
Chairman johnson OF the overseers of
the poor sent the boy to Boston Saturday
afternoon on the Ransom B. Fuller, as
lie said he wanted to so back to Mr..
Trask, the man who had brought him
from Jamaica.
