How Watch Cases are Made. in buying a silver watch case great care should be taken to secure one that is solid silverthroughout. The cap of most cheap silver cases is made of a composition known as albata, which is a yery poor substitute for silver, as it turns black in a short time. The backs of such cases are made much thinner than those of an all silver case, being robbed in order to make the cap thicker and get in as much as possible of the cheap metal. Another important point inasilver case is the joints or hinges, which should be made of gold. Those of most cheap cases are made of silver, which is not a suitable metal for that purpose. In abrief period it warps, bends and spreads apart, allowing the backs to become loose upon the case and, admitting the dust and dirt that accummulate in the pocket. The Keystone Silver Watch Cases are only made with silver caps and gold joints. Sz. Lours, Mo., Feb. 17, 1888. Boo. & Shoe Makers BUPLICNR. Boots and shoes made to order The best of leader used.

They called to the little girlto come out of the bushes | but she replied that the bear would not let her. The men then crept through the brush and when near the spot heard a splash in the water which the child said was the bear. They tound her standing upon a leg extending half way across the swamp and it seemed as though the bear had undertakan to cross the swamp on the log, and. being pursued, left the child and got away as rapidly aspos- had received some s about the and legs. and her cloths were almost torn from her body, but the bear head not bitten ber to hurt ber, only the marks ot his tceth being found ible.
