royalty be severed A week ago he re-
fused fatty to sign a divorce agree
ment presented to him by the marshal
OF the Rumanian court
The dispatch says Carol at that time
was told that If he would not consent
to the divorce 1t would be forced upon
him. and that he would be unable to
defend himself because any Rumanian

majeste against the royal family.
1t was stated that despite this guam
Diary Carol has tried to engage a Ru-

the papers. Also she likes the holidays

Another clerk who rides to the coun-

the necessity of criticizing this friVo-

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

There is a good deal of street talk at present as to the why and wherefore of the recent order of the United States Attorney in- structing the U. S. Marshal to close the Punch Boards. We understand that the Nugget Shop is the subject of most of the cen sure from those who don't like it. We wish to take full blame for starting the matter but wish to express our thanks to MT. Valen- tine for drawing up the complaint and getting the signature of the other jewellers although we under stand one is a weak sister and denies it.
 We have no desire to go into
 the history or evil or good of punch boards. We only wish to say they have been an unmixed
 evil for the Nugget Shop for a long time. The watches and
 other jewelry items handled usual 1y on the punch boards are brought to us to be serviced. It 1 is often hard to refuse to try to do something and it is impossible to charge adequately for the time wasted. While we have kept no account of it, The Nugget Shop
 knows that attempts to service punch-board watches have cost us lot of money, and all we got out of 1t has been the ill-will of the owner besides the loss of a possible sale of a good watch. The jewelry stores wish to be friendly with the cigar stores and pool halls and will agree to in- stall no pool tables and sell no cigars if they will handle no jewelry.
