The many great improvements intro- duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss’ Gold Watch Case, have led to similar im- provements in the making of silver cases. Under the old methods, each part of a alver case was made of several pieces of netal soldered together, requiring a great amount of cutting and soldering, which softened the metal and gave it the pliability of lead rather than the elasticity of silver. Under the improved methods, each part ofthe Keystone Silver Watch Case is made tone solid piece of metal hammered into shape. The advantages are readily appar- ‘mt, for every one knows that hammering hardens the metal while soldering softens it. To test the superiority of the Keystone Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 oz. weight, Press it squarely in the center when closed, tad it will not give, while a case of same weight of any other make will give enough tobreak the crystal. The Keystone Silver Watch Case is made only with silver cap tad gold joints. tad 3 cont stamp to Keystone Watch Case Factories, Phile- iphis, Pa., for handsome Illustrated Pamphlet showing how ‘tae Rew’ and Keystone Watch Cases are made, (To be continued.) t WcREYNOLDS & SCHWENK Boot & Shoe Makers BUTLER, *iO. best ot leather VGcz PILOT COLLEGIATE PILOT CRCOVE, CO DONT vo ing Rit} shot gun to introd secured a day: hund yaswell.

The story has never, she told me, been printed before: Mme. Ristori was playing in the city of Madrid in the Royal Theater. She had carried the nudience away in the act by her great power, the curtain had failen on the first act, and unusually long applause occurred. No one could understand her absence. The time came and passed when she should have resumed play. What was the meaning of her absence? As she was passing from the stage, in the wings, stood a poor woman, who caught her gar- ment. “Madame,” she said, ‘‘do you hear that bell now tolling?” “Yer."” «That bell tolls for the death of my husband; he will die at sunrise to-mor- row. Won’t you,’ she implored the woman, “‘plead for me? The Queen sits in the box yonder.” The great tragedy queen went to the Royal box and begged for the life of that man—a man that she had no par- ticular interest in, but simply because he was going to die. Mme. pleaded so well with the Queen that with a pencil she wrote his reprieve, and he wassaved. Meantime the truth had crept out among the audience, and when the curtain rose again the whole audience sprang to their feet.
