The many great improvements intro- iced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss’ old Watch Case, have led to similar im- tovements in the making of silver cases. Under the old methods, each part of a Iver case was made of several pieces of etal soldered together, requiring a great tnount of cutting and soldering, which *wtened the metal and gave it the pliability {lead rather than the elasticity of silver. Under the improved methods, each part {the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made »fone solid piece of metal hammered into ftape. The advantages are readily appar- ‘st, for every one knows that hammering lardens the metal while soldering softensit. _ To test the superiority of the Keystone filver Watch Case, take one of 3 oz. weight, i tess it squarely in the center when closed, tad it will not give, while a case of same ‘right of any other make will give enough fobreak the crystal. The Keystone Silver Tatch'Case is made only with silver cap fad gold joints. | Rd Scent stamp to Keystone Wate Case Factories, Phila | Whla, Pa., for handsome Lilustrated Pamphlet showing Low Qe Bow’ and Keystone Wateh Cases are (To be continued.) ’ IREYNOLDS & SCHWENK | error ot Youth. 00+ & Shoe Make BUTLER, MO. hots and Shoes made to order The i best ot leather used. fon nerth side ot Square. 4g tf | BRIDGEFORD & HUPP. ‘Raamental House --AND— Siga Painters ining, Paper-t hg, Sign and Bug SPECIALTY Louisiana has 48,000,000,000 feet of pine in her fore Berlin ladi, With them wk Bogus pension been swindling poor people in Missis- sippi.

The trouble wi most young people " is that they have no one to advise them what to read and so they read aimiess ly and at random, taking up t very : latest novel, because it is new, in pref- erence to those who have stood the test { of time. Emerson's advice to read no ‘ ' book until it s been before the world for a year is applicable espe- cially to novels. It is true that a novel reflects the passing manners of the time and thus in a few years grows old-fashioned; but the best novels, that appeai to the universal human heart, retain their immortal freshness under their old clothes and may be read again and again with undiminished interest. If the summer idlers who are looking for something new to read would give up the new books for a while and try some of the old ones, the experiment could hardly prove other than _profit- able. Of the hundreds of novels pub- lished every year a small percentage may survive. The reeder has to win- now the chaff to get at the few grains of wheat. Upon the whole it is more satisfactory to go at once to the wheat that has already passed the winnowing of time.—Philadelphia Times. > as ass MC FARLAND BROS. ——-AT BUTLER— KEEP THE LARCEST STOCK AQT THE BEST PitICcEs IN HARNESS & SADDLERY.
