A FINE ARGUNEr,T IN FAVOR OF
A BOND Issue FOR ROADS.

Fc4sw Citizens: Having been rails

Swords for British ssIdIsrs.

Sword manufacturers are very busy,
and in Sheffield, England, they use the
old method Of hand forging which pro

though at a slower rate, than where
machinery is employed Now, how
ever, says Manchester newspaper,

The takers are selling a new toy.
It's a fake watch winder-a cog with
a ratchet that makes loud click. The
idea is to take out your watch and at
tempt to wind It, at the same time
working the toy which is concealed In
the palm of the hand. The noise II
makes sounds like the winding Of a
town clock. For the love Of Nike"
exclaimed an ex-puddler, now broker.
who was attracted by the noise q man
was making while winding his time
piece, what kind of turnip have you
there anyway? That sound reminds
me Of a rafting OF the pinions on q
set OF muck mill rolls" The stranger
showed the toy and the former Pitts
burgher said the drinks we're on him.

pefends The Yorkshire Breed.

There is one enthusiast in this city
who thinks that the Yorkshire terrier
"a destined to become the pet in Boci-
ETY. and will eventually displace the
other small breeds that are so nuch
in vogue at the present time. This is
Mrs. William c. Thompson. who has
the leading kennel OF this breed. She
is a Yorkshire woman and is in the
game for the love OF it and not for
the profit that might accrue from the
breeding of these dogs, Most Of the
puppies that she has bred che has
giYon away to fanciers Of the breed,
and she says that before she gets
through she is going to have the
Yorkshire come into the popular ia
vor to which she thinks It is enti-
tled.~New York Herald.

Argonne, Where French and Germans
Are In Conflict, Deserted by Their
Natural Inhabitants.

WHEN the history of the present Eu-
ropean war is Rfittef, the forest Of
Argonne VIII be recorded as the
place where more blood was shed than
in any other spot on the wide fields
Of conflict. The Brench made a stand
there ON the FIRST German drive to-
wards Paris, and, later when the
Germans we're forced back, II was the
scene of weeks and months of desper-
ate struggle.
Not a bird is left in the forest and
practically every tree, which remains
standing, bears the mark OF battle. It
was swept by artillery fire time after
time. and was the scene of desperate
hand-to-hand fighting.
But II was not the fret time, for In
the campaign preceding the battle OF
Sedan, in the Franco-German war Of
1870. 1t was the scene Of many san
culinary struggles.
The forest covers a number Of
wooded heights, 500 or 900 feet high,
in the northeastern part of France in
French Lorraine and Champagne 1t
is about thirty miles long, and from
one to eight miles wide. It is bounded
by the sources Of the Aisne, runs along
that river TO the Mouse and northward

Evrops's Largest Safe Deposit.

The largest safe deposit in Europe
is that at Chancery Lane, London.
1t is a veritable nest OF strong rooms
and safes, totaling some 1000 receD-

that since It was opened it has en-
larged it's area some four or FIVE times.
1t is used a great deal by the diamond
merchants in the district. 1t is a
common thing for broker to rush
down the broad white steps leading to
the vaults just before closing time with
