A few years ago an American watch
company made what Is claimed TO be
the largest watch in the world. It
cost several thousand dollars, and its
manufacture required special tools and
the model 1t represents, and is perfect
IN detail.
The movement is two and a half inch
es thick. The watch has no dial, as
the intention is to show the action Of
the stefnwinding and stemsetting me-

To my little Valentine,
Far down in Texas sunshine,
Where the rosebuds climb and vine,
And the voices Of the pine
Murmur OF you all the time,
In love and truths perfect chime.
Meath the palm trees stately cress,
know you would whisper. Yes
Should ask TO hold your hand
While you write upon the sand:

In that happy warm southland
Sitting in the palm tree shade,
Where the sunbeams often played.
Just at evening times sweet glow.
When the shadows come and go,
With her gentle hand in mine,
