THE KINGS WATCH.
A NspoIsonIo Gift That Embarrassed
Jerome Bonaparts.

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,
VI 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 l sur
rounded by my court, but. at present
away with form and let us be of 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
pf those foolish things which when I'M
premeditated are so delightful. 1t may
be supposed that the converse ton 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, G., shall be my
secretary. AS for you. P, who are
fond of books, / appoint you my libra
RAN" 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 francs.
What was to be donef At ! o'clock
In the morning where could resources
be found? They determined to send
for the master of the house and &C
quaint him how matters stood. He
seemed to take the froic 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 1t to the commlssary
Of police. The latter, recognizing the
imperial cipher. ran with 1t 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. Prs Lon

MIND YOUR TEETH.
Tho Value of Keeping tho Mouth and
Gums Perfectly Clean.

The Value of Keeping tho Mouth and
Gums Perfectly Clean.
A man is known, by the teeth he
keeps. The worst thing that can hap
pen to our teeth is for them not to
have enough to do. 1t is the worst
thing that can happen to us also. Spir-
itualized and cultured as we have be-
come. we still fight the battle of life
with our teeth, though we no longer
chew our enemies ears or threats.
Bone cored, enamel coated and rock
ribbed as the hills, our teeth are
more absolutely under our control than
almost any other STRUCTURE Of the body.
Neglect them and they decay at once.
Give them proper attention. :nd they
will go on repairing themselves for
forty, fifty, sixty years.
Give children plenty of roughening
food to chew, and they will get the
pearly vigor of the savage tooth with
the endurance of the Caucasians.
Above all. the food should be OF such
character as to give exercise and
massage to the gums. Part Of this can
be given by plenty of coarse food in
addition to real food-not as substi-
tute for it-and part by intentional and
vigorous friction with the toothbrush.
To brush the gums well is half the
value Of brushing the teeth.
Keep the mouth and gums strictly
clean, and the teeth will take care of
themselves. There are thirty-three dis
tinct named and labeled sorts Of bacilli
or bugs in our mouths as normal parlor
boarders, but they'll behave with per-
feet propriety unless you give them
carrion to get drunk on.-Dr. Woods

A City With All tho Finish of a Paris
or Berlin.
Buenos Aires, the capital Of the Ar
gentine Republic. is in some respects
the most cosmopolitan city in the
world. No important European nation
but has contributed its capital and its
people to the upbuilding Of this great
metropolis. 1t also has the distinc-
ton of being the second city of Latin
population in the world. being larger
than the largest cities in Italy and
Spain.
There is perhaps no city which ex-
hibits greater variety OF pleasing
contemporary styles of domestic ar
chitecture. The city council tries to
encourage beautiful building by an
nually offering a gold medal to the ar
chitect who is found to have planned
the most attractive facade and by
freeing from the. building tax the
building thus favored.
The outward aspect of Buenos Aires
is rather that of European than OF
an American capital. 1t has all the
Shish of d Paris or a. Berlin. The ab-
sence of the irregular sky line, caused
in North American cities by the ex-
IRENE height Of some business build
ings as well as the fact that the
ground of the city is quite uniformly
built upon, even in the more outlying
regions, keeps the city from present.

But Macon has got notion she car

originated in ''peeyish" jest, is now
becoming almost a big state issue.
Even Atlantans are convinced that
there is going to be a fight, though
they are satisfied when it comes along
that they will whip Macon to a FRAGILE.
Atlantans are gradually learning
that it is no laughing matter; that, in
any event, it promises to precipitate d
lively fight.
A little incident is indicative of this

old BOOZE Is RUNNING
A tide TO GEORGIA
And AmeriCuS Is GettinG Her
Share.

The Americus postoffice, like that II
every town in Georgia, is doing &
landoffice business just now, as fol
weeks past in the sale of money or.
ders sent in the purchase of Christ
mas whiskey. And the express office
gets it's share, to say nothing of the
hundreds of private orders direct.
And os the result a tide of good
bad and shooting "whiskey" is pour
ing into Americus now, and will SO
continue during the holidays.
1t is safe proposition to say that
$1,000 is sent away daily from Amer
icus for whiskey alone.
The postoffice here is issuing money
orders at an average of about 125
daily-all for Jacksonville's product,
and the business will increase as the
holiday approaches. Every mail car
ries scores of such orders.
And the smaller towns in Sumter
county-that is, some of them, are in
the procession as we'll. In one OF
these little towns it is said that pos
tai orders for whiskey totaled nearly
one hundred in single day this week
That was running some for a village
of few hundred.
Negroes are the principal purchas-
ers, but scores of whites are in the
ordering line as we'll.
1t is said that at Jacksonville the
business for Christmas week has
simply overwhelmed the booze dealers
and that orders sent this late in the
game will be greatly delayed.
Every mail brings packed mailbags
of liquor circulars and price lists, and
booze that will kill off-handed at
hundred yards can be bought as low
as dollar a gallon. One gulp of this
fierce compound would cause the
swallower to murder his own wife
and children
The usual harvest of murders, no
doubt, will follow during the Christ
mas holiday season.
