THE KINGS WATCH.
A Napoleente Gift That Embarrassed
Jerome Bonaparte.

"a. Napolsen;e Gift That Embarrassed
Jerome Bonaparte.
Previous to his elevation to the SOW
ereignty Jerome Bonaparte had formed
friendship with some young authors
at that time in vogue for their wit and
reckless gayety. On the evening after
his nomination to the crown Of West
phalia he met two Of his jovial COM
panions just as he was leaving the
theater. my dear fellows" said he.
Il am delighted to see you. suppose
you know that have been created
king Of Westphalia?" Eyes, sire, and
permit US to be among the first
"Eh, what? You are ceremonious. me-
thinks. That might pass were sur
rounded by my court, but at present
away with form and let us be off to
supper"
Upon this Jerome took his friends to
one Of the best restaurants in the
Palais Royal. The three chatted and
laughed and said and did thousand
of those foolish things which when I'M
premeditated are so delightful 1t may
be supposed that the conversation was
not kept up without drinking. When
the wine they had drunk began to take
effect, my good friends" said Jerome,
"why should we quit each other? If
you approve of my proposal you shall
accompany me. You, c., shall be my
secretary. AS for you, P, who are
fond Of books, appoint you my libra
rian." The arrangement was accept
ed and ratified over a fresh bottle of
champagne.
At length the party began to think
+ Of leaving and accordingly called for
the bill. Jerome produced his purse
but the king of Westphalia could only
find 2 louis, which formed but a small
| portion of 200 francs, the amount Of
the bill. The new dignitaries by club
bling their wealth could only muster
| about 3 francs.
What was to be- done? At o'clock
In the morning where could resources
be found? They determined to send
| for the master Of the house and ac-
| quaint him how matters stood. He
| seemed to take the frolic in good part
and merely requested to know their
names. Having told him. the restau-
rateur set his customers down as
sharpers and threatened TO send for
the commissary of police. This alarm
ed Jerome, who, seeing that the res
taurateur doubted them, handed over
his watch in payment. This watch
had been present from Napoleon, and
on the back was the emperor's cipher
in brilliants.
On examining the watch the restau-
rateur concluded that it had been
stolen and took it to the commissary
Of police. The latter, recognizing the
imperial cipher, ran with it to the pre-
feet. The project flew to the minister
Of the interior, and he in turn went to
the emperor at st. Cloud Next morn.
ing the Moniteur contained an ordi.
nance in which Jerome was ordered to
/ Westphalia at once and prohibited
from comforting any appointments till
his arrival at his capital.-T. P.'s Lon

Awaiting News.

Crown Point people are anxiously
awaiting news from interurban quar-
tiers, but little has leaked out during
the last few days to give satisfaction
to those who desire to see street cars
running in Crown Point. To be so near
and yet so far from having interur-
ban connection with Gary and the north
part of the county is exasperating to
those who have worked hard for the
line, and unless swift and convincing
action is taken in the matter toward a
solution Of the vexatious question
those vitality interested are liable to
find themselves at the end of their
rope when 1t comes to a question of
granting further favors or franchises.
The matter has been before the public
over two years now and 1t is high time
that a stand up or lay down attitude
was assumed There isn't enough fight
in the proceedings to convince one Of
anxiety to operate an fnterurban line.
