DUST -PROOF
Stem Viiiißg Oku Face Case.
MANUFACTURED BY THE
American Wateb Cos.
WALTHAM MASS.
Tliis case is fonned in one solid piece
without joint or scam, opening in front
only, thus avoiding the usual Cap, and
securing greater strength and durability.
These watches are all open face. The
bezel, into which the extra strong crys
tal is litted with an especially prepared
water-proof cement, is attached to the I
case by screwing It thereon, and time
forms an air-tight junction with the body
of the case, which is proof agaiust dust
and moisture.
To railroad men. travelers, miners',
lumbermen and others who are almost
constantly exposed and who have to
-make frequent reference to the watch,
these qualities are of the utmost impor
tance.
The following letters tell their
own story.
“Valdosta, Georgia, July 90, 188*.
“1 sold one of your Patent Dust Proof
Cases about ten months ago, and the
other day it came back to me with the
request to make it wind easier. Ua ex.
amination I found that the stem was
rusty, and I inquired into the cause of it
The gentleman stated to me that he was
starting some saw-logs that had lodged
in the bend of tbe river, when his chain
caught la a bush and threw bin watch
into about twelve feet ot water, sad be
was about two hours finding it. When
ho got it out it was running and he
thought all right, in a boat thtoe months
be found that ’be stem was hard to turn
and aont it to me.
I can say that tha watch it ail that the
company claims for it and recommend it
to all railroad and mill men.

The first of January he lost the watch in

The world is growing better 1 ■. . >
Thought takes a wider sweep;
The band of sturdy labor
With a friendly hand we greet;
We will not drink the bitter
When so little makes it sweet
The world is growing richer,
In wealth brought from the eartb-
But, better fat, with treasures found
In mines of sterling worth.
For noble deeds arc honored more
Than simple claims of birth.
The world is growing better !
With fewer musty creeds,
’-'With more of human strivings
To answer human needs.
With previous harvests garnered
As the growth of precious seeds!
CAPTURE AMD BEOAPTGRE.
Vi
Jim Brunt was the head of a
gang of desperadoes, for a long
-time the terror of the region they
infested. He was-an elert, wide
awake rascal, who, in spite of
the best laid schemes to ehlrap
him, had so often slipped through
the fingers of justice that he be-,
gan to feel privileged to snap bis
own fingers in her face.
His audacity at last became so
reckless that it was resolved to
•ffset his captQ • kali fax art's
Tbe local officials were power
less. They were so welt known
to Brunt, who by a thorough sys
tem of espionage kept fully ad
vised mf tkeir movements, that be
easily managed to elude their
vigilauce.
It was determined to call in a
detective from , and as I had
recently made a hit in the capt
ure of a celebrated bond forger I
was selected lor the service.
A good many land buyers were
travelling through Ibe country,
and it was in that assumed cher
arter I decided to conduct my
operations.
In a private interview with the
sheriff I was secretly deputised
and provided with a warrant for
ftift apprehension of Bruos, for a
receut robbery committed under
circumstances of peculiar aggra
vation.
My plan was to travel, in my
guise, along the roads most ex
posed ho the afttneka of tie out
laws, in the hope of failing in
with the object of my aearch. He
and tall accomplices usually op
erated single-handed. One ol
them Would watch his opportu
nity to fall in, as if by accident,
with an unw.ary have Her, and,
after gaining his confidence,
would clap a pistol to his h*i3-
the uniform result being a spee
dy compromise on terms greatly
advantageous to the pUiniiff.
Such ffu attempt in my own ease
would afford the very opportuni
ty 1 wanted, seeing I was well
armed and felt myself a full
match fdr Burnt or any of ins
gang.
About noon, on the second day,
I stopped at a roadside cabin an
swering the double purpose of au
inn and farm-hftuse, and ordered
a meal for myself and a bait for
my horse. Before entering the
kitchen, where the table was fat,
I hung my evireoat,' the eufeftdft
pockets of which eontained my
pistols, and the inner brepit
pocket the warraat, on a peg in
the outer-room.
On return teg thither with ftfce
host, who had favored mo with
hh company at tHnuoubft dnug

time, approached with a paper in
his hand? unit* TUu Raoaouu

sistanee,” kb *4ded turning to

Thou bo road the paper over
solemnly, and judge of my sur
prise at discovering that it was
the very warrant 1 had thought
safe in my own pocket.
I sprang for my pistol*, but

“Seize himl” be said to tb*
landlord ; u IWw Brunt, the no
torious highwayman, whom, as
an officer of 4lie law, I am com
manded by this warrant to ar
rest”
“I am aot the person named,”
I expostulated, “and the warrant
has been stolen from my posses
sion since I came here ; and I am
persuaded.” pointing to the
stranger, “that that is the man
whose apprehension it directs.’’
The words werw received with
a derisive sneer.
It’s time this farce ended,”
said the pretended officer, draw
ing an(t cocking a pistol—adding,
with a stern glance at the host :
“! have summoned you to assist
iii the nytne of the law. (at a
rope and tie his arms. Mean
while, I’ll keep him quiet with
this,” levelling the pistol st my
breast.
The man brought a fathom or
so of bed-cord, and m a trice I
was bound.
’’Nop fetch hn horse.”
The order was obeyed, and I
was hoisted into tbe saddle;
after which my legs were fasten
ed by a cord passed under the
animal’s body.
My captor next relieved me of
my money, fiom which Ik paid
the land lordi* bdl, pocketed the
balance; ai>d then mounting his
Own horse, which stood at the
door, and taking mine by the
rein, ha hurried me off at a brisk
trot.
I left it to the other to speak
first.
“Don't you think il is a little
cheeky,” he inquired at last,”
“for a youngster, like you, to
come out here to beard the liou

“Bat for the unfair advantage
you took,” 1 replied with irrita
tion, “1 don’t think you'd have
had much to boast of.”
“Unlair advantage P he return
ed. with a laugh—“l here is noth*
ing unfair iu such a game as this.
1 watched, you tinier the house,
and immediately suspected, from
the description I’d had, you were
the freshest imported detective ;
.and seeing through I tie window
adhere you hung y our coat, 1 vent
ured on a little private investiga
tion, respiting iu your being my
prisoner instead ot my being
yours.”
“Then you acknowledge you
are Jim Brunt.”
“Well, seeing it’s you,” he
chuckled, “1 don’t mind admit
ting it.”
“May I ask,” 1 said, breaking
the silence which ensued, “you”
purpose respecting myself!”
HJertainly,” Ite answered. “I’ve
no wish to keep you uneasy.
You’ll be taken to a place of

temper. But next time you go
campaigning against Jim Brunt,

munications, ba ha!”
Mr. Brunt’s hilarity was check
ed by the appearance of a couple
of travelers riding toward us.
My heart bounded with joy at
the familiar faces ef two old
friends whom Providence or the
laud lever had guided that way.

Their keen eyes took in the
situation at a glance, and being
as quick of hand as of sight, be

covered with a pistol. Of course
he had nothing left but to surren

VOL. VIIL NO, 27
Bnara the (fafc
- rbat girl is s fast Me b—l|,
said a young man the other day
to a erowd of his comrades as
a frail little creature swept gract*
fully past bowing with a smile.
At thir remark some were amus
ed, while others felt a keen re
buke for having been present.
Tbe subject at which this sling
was directed is a young and
beautiful girl, innocent and
thoughtless, not yet tempered
and trained to the gruff usages of
the world, not yet taught that
women must guard against slan
derous tongues by avoiding even
the appearance or eril. Having
inquired we find that the yoong
man is not even acquainted with
the young lady and was never in
her company; when looking upon
her tender face, one could but
.think that the vile insinuation
blistered his false throat before
bis lying longue gave it utter
ance.
A thoughtless young girl often
nets and speaks imprudently,
which is construed by the vulgar
as indelicate, and is often so
started on the wings of gossip
that rather filthy as they fiy from
door to door. If the slanderous
gossip must live and fatten by
traducing good people, let men,
boy* and married women and
girls, who are old enough to ward
Off the deadly fangs, be the tar
***** bot “P"® ibe young girls.
Because they apeak freely aad
gh merrily are no indications
that they are ibe less pure; there
is parity where an infamous
sooundrel would make base deg
radation; suspicion haunts the
guilty mind and the guilty, are
•he slanderesrs.—Ex. _
If there ia anything iu the
world that has more power than
a smite, when it is shot off from
the right kind of a gun, we have
never seen it. Thfe smile of a
girl will draw a young man from
his mother and bad company. It
will teach him to be a man and
he will, if he loves the girl, do
nothing that would chase the
smile away. The smile of the
mother will conquer the wayward
child and compel it to come into
camp to be spanked or caressed.
The smile of a teacher can do
more with a pupil than a bundle
of hazel brush, A good old
fashioned, natural, unaffected
emile, costs nothing, wears out
no costly machinery, bot rather
oils h and makes it run smooth,
and is a medicine that we all like
to take, aad H leaves no bad
taste in the mouth.
