It is a fact not generally knows that the James Boss’ Gold Watch Cases reaily oon- tain more pure than many “solid” gold cases ~The demand for these watch cases has led to the manufacture of @ very poor grade of solid gold watch cazes+— low in quality, and deficient in quantity. These cases are made from 4j to 10 karats, and a 5 or 6 karat case is often sold fur 12 or 14 karate. It is Nov es oniy to buy a watch case so poor in quality that it w soon lose its color, or one so soft that it lose its shape and fail to shut tight, th letting in dust and damaging the works, or one so thin that a slight blow will brea the crystal, and perhaps the movement. It IS economy to buy a James Boss’ Gold Watch Case, in which None of these thin, ever occur. This watch case is not an erpert- ment—it has been made nearly thirty yeurs. Hazistom, Pa.

The at my horse’s heels, looking up I saw lights maddened brutes were jumping and snapping and I had struck several of them down with the around me, butt of my rifle, atter having exbaust- ed the ammunition m= shooting at them. I turned and found myself within a few bundred feet of a house and inclosure. Making a last des- pairing effort, my horse cleared the fence and fell dead on the inside. At the same moment several men came out of the door of the house with lanterns, aroused no doubt by the unearthly sounds. I was quickly dragged inside and immediately swooned. Upon recovering con- ciousness it was broad daylight, and I tound myself in the cabin of a ranchinan, within half a mile of the station whence I had started im the morning, lying on a rude bed, with a man sitting near by and watching me. It seems that my horse, guided by instinct, bad taken the straightest direction for the place from which we had started. I learned by in- quiry that the wolves had surround- ed the house all night long. filling the air with their teartul howls, and never departed until daylight. I was too ill from the effects of the tearful experience I had undergone to leave the house until yesterday, and I came to Denver forrest and recuperation.”” WOMEN OF THF WORLD.
