Beginning to Squeeze.?Two or three
years ago a Jersey City pension lawyer took
the case of a widow who wanted about $2,00C
back pay, and the papers went to Washington,
to be hidden away among the cobwebs
until some clerk had nothing else to do but
examine them. After three months had
passed, a young farmer called to ask about
the case, and regularly every ninety days;
since that time, he dropped in with his:
"Well, any good news for the Widder Jennings
?"
At his last visit the other day, the lawyer
replied after the same stereotyped fashion,
and added:
"Do you live near the widow ?"
"Only one farm between us."
"And she has told you to watch for the
money."
"Well, not exactly that, but I've kinder
taken it upon myself to do so. If the Widder
Jennings gets that $2,000 before the 1st
of May, my heart is going to yearn to marry
her. If she don't git it, I'm going to marry
an old maid, with twenty-one acres of land
and a yoke of oxen. I wouldn't have come
in to-day, but the widder she's a winking and
the old maid is looking purty as a bed of
onions, and things is beginning to squeeze
. _ on me."
The Father of His Country.?A returned
missionary, telling of his labors among
the poor white and colored children in the
mountainous districts of the South, related,
at a church meeting, recently, a story which
brought a smile to the faces of his Massachusetts
hearers. He was visiting a little district
school, and the teacher was questioning
the children as follows:
"Now, children, who was the Father of
his counsry ?"
"Ben Butler," was the astounding reply.
"No, no ! It was George Washington.
Now, who was the savior of his country ?"
Again came the answer, "Ben Butler."
"No. Remember it was Abraham Lincoln."
Then the missionary thought he would
strike in, and, sure they could answer this
correctly, he said:
"Well, I'm sure you can tell me who never
told a lie?"
"Yes, sir; Ben Butler!" came the chorus
again, and the discomfitted missionary retired.
It is evident the general's prowess still
lingers in magnified form in the Southern
negro's mind. *
She Was a Laplander.?The irrepressible
small boy, from East Liberty, came into
the city yesterday, via, the Fifth avenue line,
accompanied by his father, who frowned upon
any attempts for him to become inquisitive.
This was very hard on the boy, and
he sat in misery for ten minutes, not saying
a word, while his father was interested in a
newspaper. At Soho street the street car
stopped to take on a lady attired in.a very
loud red dress, with cheeks painted to match.
The gripman started, with his usual disregard
for the equilibrium of the passengers,
i?Mt\t>aoQiK1ofa fofhor ciul.

denly found himself holding the new passenger
on his lap.
"Oh, ain't it funny!" screamed the boy,
dancing with delight. "But ain't you glad
mamma isn't here? You remember what
happened when she saw you holding Aunt
Fannie on your lap the other day."
The boy and his father alighted from the
car at the next street with an energy that
made the youngster smell the shingle in the
woodhouse two miles away.?Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Court's Mistake.?Judge Davis
used to tell some admirable stories of an old
Illinois judge, one of which we chance particularly
to remember. One of the judges
was rather remarkable for conveying to jurors,
in his charges to them, his own opinions
in regard to the merits of the case. In one
case he had done so with great plainness,
but to his amazement the jury hung out for
hours without coming to an agreement.
The judge inquired of the bailifT what was
the matter, and learned from him that one
juryman was hanging out against the other
* eleven. He proceeded to rebuke the juror
sharply. The obstinate juror was a nervous
little man, and as soon as the judge was
done, he rose and said : "Judge, may I say a
word?" "Yes, sir," said the indignant judge,
"what have you to say?" "Well, what I
wanted to say is, I am the only fellow on
your side !"?Peck's Sun.
Bill Tinkebson's Wife.?Jim Sniverly
had been absent from Austin for several years.
He returned not long since, and one of the
# first men he met was Bill Tiukerson. They
had just taken a social drink, when Bill remarked
:
"Do you remember Sally Jane Benderly ?"
."That great big, gawky, red-headed girl,
with freckles as big as a dime all over her
nose, who limped and was uglier than a era
zy quilt?"
"Yes?that's the gal."
"Of course I remember her. Nobody could
forget her. It is impossible to duplicate a
face like that. She had a mouth like a catfish,
aud a smile like an open valise. What
of her ?"
"Oh, nothing; except 3he is my wife."
The Last Straw.?"Why did you strike
this man ?" asked a justice of the peace of a
prisoner.
"I had sufficient cause, your honor. He
came to my house the other day on a visit.
He criticised my childre^ and laughed at
my daughter's singing, turned up his nose at
a fish I had caught, and put my wife to a
great deal of trouble at dinner time?"
"But all this gave you no excuse to strike
him with a stick of stove wood."
"I know, but let me get through. After
dinner he took a kind of going-to-stay-al 1-day
seat, and began to talk on the tariff question
hnd sub-treasury scheme. Then I hit
him."
"Tariff, sub-treasury, eh ? I fine you ten
dollars for not shooting him."?Arkansaw
Traveler.
AST1 It was on the train, and he was trying
to read. There was the usual variety of
passengers, among them a lady with a very
sprightly little girl that had blue eyes, a
head of glistening gold and an inquisitorial
tongue. She plied him with questions and
toyed with his watchchain. The mother,
who was a widow, fairly beamed upon him.
He was becoming nervous, and, turning to
the mother, said, "Madam, what do you call
this sweet little darling?" The widow
smiled enchantingly, and replied, with a
sigh, "Ethel." "Please call her, then."
AST" A sad looking man went into a Burlington
drug store. "Can you give me," lie
asked, "something that will drive from my
mind the thoughts of sorrow and hitter
recollections?" And the druggist nodded
and put him up a little dose of quinine,
and wormwood, and rhubarb, and epsom
salts, and a dash of castor oil, and gave it to
him, and for six months the man could not
think of anything in the world except new
schemes for getting the taste out of his
mouth.
J?" Wife?I am going to economize in our
household, (Jeorge.
Husband?Why, you prudent little soul,

"I'm going to discharge our servant and

"Well, that will do no good ; the older
one will demand just as much wages."
Wife (looking at him straight)?Very likely,
Mr. Brown, but you won't need to give

93T Two distinguished lawyers in Alabama
formed a partnership after the war, and the
junior stated to the senior that there were
two things they must guard against?the
poorhouse and the penitentiary. Very soon
the junior collected a fee of $2,000 in a cotton
case which involved but little trouble,
and counting out $1,250 to the senior, remarked
that it didn't look much like the
poorhouse.
"No," said the senior, "but it rubs the
penitentiary close."
No Time for the Juihse to Talk.?A
black woman was brought before a magistrate
for unmercifully beating her son, a saddle-colored
imp, and the judge was delivering

to a woffless yellow boy like dat ar cub of
mine?" "Never,"ejaculated thejudgc with
great vehemence, getting red in the face.

TREATING A COLD.
It is not a correct practice, after a cold is
> caught, to make the room a person sits in,
much warmer than usual, to increase the
s quantity of bedclothes, wrap up in flannel,
- and drink a large quantity of hot tea, gruel,
or other slops, because it will invariably in
crease the feverishness, and in the majority of
instances, prolong, rather than lessen, the
duration of the cold. It is well known that
confining inoculated persons in warm rooms
will make their small-pox more violent by
augmenting the general heat and fever; and
it is for the same reason that a similar practice
in the present complaint is attended with
analogous results, a cold being in reality a
slight fever. In some parts of England,
among the lower oruer 01 me pcopic, a mrgo
glass of cold spring water taken on going to
bed, is found to be a successful remedy, and in
fact, many medical practitioners recommend
a reduced atmosphere, and frequent draughts
of cold fluid, as the most efficacious remedy
for a recent cold, particularly when the
patient's habit is full and plethoric.
It is generally supposed that it is the exposure
to a cold or wet atmosphere which
produces the effect called cold, whereas it
is returning to a warm temperature after
exposure, which is the real cause of the evil.
When a person in cold weather goes into
the open air, everytime he draws in his
breath the cold air passes through his nostrils
and windpipe, into the lungs, and consequently
diminishes the heat of these parts.
As long as a person continues in the cold air,
he feels 110 bad effects from it; but as soon as
he returns home he approaches the fire to
warm himself, and very often takes some
warm and comforting drink to keep out the
cold, it is said. The inevitable consequence
is, that he will find he hits taken cold.
He feels a shivering which makes him draw
nearer the fire, but all to no purpose ; the
more he tries to heat himself, the more he
chills. All the mischief is here caused by
the violent action of heat.
To avoid this, when you come out of a
very cold atmosphere, you should fiot first
go into a room that has fire in it, or, if you
cannot avoid that, you should keep for a
considerable time at as great a distance as
possible, and above all, refrain from taking
warm or strong liquors when you are cold.
This rule is founded 011 the same principle as
the treatment of any part of the body when
frostbitten. If it were brought to the fire
is would soon mortify, whereas, if rubbed
with snow, no bad consequences follow from
it. Hence, if the following rule were strictly
observed?when the whole body, or any
part of it is chilled, bring it to its natural
feeling and warmth by degrees?the frequent
colds we experience in winter would, in a
great measure be prevented.
Bedding for Animals.?The farmer who
takes pains to "make up the bed" for his
cow or horse, gains ten times more than
the cost of the labor of so doing. If all material
is passed through the cutter previous
to being used for bedding, it not only adds
to the comfort of the animal, but assists in
the matter of cleanliness by reason of its
great power of absorption. For this reason
sawdust is becoming a favorite, as its fineness
not only admits of its being handled
easily, well spread in the stall, and removed,
but after having absorbed the liquid flows of
the stall, still readily mixes with the matter
in the manure heap. The merit of sawdust
is due to its fineness and its absorptive
quality. If any bedding is plentiful, fine,
and absorptive, it. prevents loss of manure
by intimately mixing with it, and as the
droppings are more readily incorporated with
a greater mass of absorbent material, the
risk of evaporation and escape of gasses is
lessened. Now, if the labor of cutting is to
be taken into account, it is more than balanced
by the facility in spreading the fine
manure when it is hauled to the field. The
cutting can be done in winter and during
wet days, and is a luxury to spread nice,
finely-divided manure. Good, fine, clean
bedding adds to the thrill and health of animals,
is cooler in summer and warmer in
winter, and those who use it prevent much
loss.?Prairie Farmer.
Putting Away Tools.?The wearing out
of farm implements is, as a rule, due more to
neglect than to use. If tools can he well
taken care of, it will pay to buy those made'
of the best steel, and finished in the best
manner; but in common hands, and with
common care, sueli, are of little odvantage.
Iron and steel parts should he cleaned
with dry sand and a cob, or scraped with a
piece of soft iron, washed and oiled if necessnrv
jiiwl in a dnv or two cleaned off with
a corn-cob and dry sand. Finally paint the
iron part with resin and bcsswax, in the
proportion of four of resin to one of wax,
melted together and applied hot. This is
good for the iron or steel parts of every sort
of tool.
Wood work should be painted with good,
boiled linseed oil, white lead and turpentine,
color of any desired tint; red is probably the
best color. Keep the cattle away until the
paint is dry and hard, or they will lick with
death as the result. If it is not desired to
use paint on hand tools, the boiled oil with
the turpentine and "liquid dryer," does just
as well. Mayy prefer to saturate the woodwork
of farm implements with crude petroleum.
This can be used with color, but not
applied by itself.
Saving Winter Cabbage.?There are
several methods usually given about this
time of the year to preserve the cabbage
through the winter, and we have tried nearly
or quite all of them. We prefer the one we
introduced nearly thirty years ago, and with
which we have always succeeded in keeping
our cabbage in perfect condition until late in
the spring. It is simply to excavate slight
trenches side by side on a rising or dry spot
where the water will readily drain off, in
which to stand the cabbage just as it grows,
sinking it up to the head. The rows can be
as closely put together as the size of the
heads will admit; cover over with corn-fodder,
straw, or bean haulm. Then set four
posts so as to form a pitch, placing the head
against a stone wall or board fence. On
these form a ro*>f by bean poles, when boards
are not at hand, and cover this with cornstalks
or staw. If ordinarily well done, the
cabbages will keep as long us maybe desired,
having usually preserved ours sound and
fresh until the end of April or the beginning
of May. We are aware that it is commonly
recommended to place the heads of the
cabbage in the ground with the root sticking
up; but having tried this way, we found
the cabbage kept fresher and better as we
recommended. To prove this we have
had eoldslaw in May.?(iermantown Tidegraph.
Greasing Wagons.?An ordinary farm
wagon, one which, while it may be used
nearly every day for heavy hauling, is seldom
driven faster than the walk of an average
farm team, should be greased well every
Monday morning, as should be the cart; and
making a set time to do it, it will rarely la;
forgotten. A farm wagon, a spring one,
| which goes to mill, to market and to divers
other places, at an ordinary jog trot, should
! be greased after it has run forty or fifty
j miles, according to the speed, while a light I
carriage, being driven faster, and having less j
surface or room for grease, should lie greased
j after it has run every thirty miles or so, al|
ways wiping the spindle clean and bright be'
fore applying the grease. For carriages use |
only sperm or castor oil. and only a few j
drops mi each spindle, but for heavy business I
or farm wagons use the common axle-grease,
' free from salt.

THE DAKOTA GIRL.
"Can I water my horse at the trough
there?"
"If he's thirsty you can. If he ain't
thirsty he won't drink, will 'e?"
The logic of this answer was overpowering,
writes a correspondent of the Detroit
Free Press, and I looked at the girl in mute
surprise. She was about 19, had tawny hair,
a tanned face, and an abundant crop of freckles.
She wore her brother's straw hat, and
from under its brim there flashed two bright
blue eyes?clear, intelligent and roguish.
While my horse was drinking I leaned
against the well-curb and glanced at the surroundings.
It was the home -of a Dakota
pioneer. A shack covered with tar paper
and banked with sods; to the left a sod barn
thatched with long slough grass;*to the
right and between the house and barn a
stretch of ground covered with chickens and
ducks and a troop of dogs, and littered with
farm implements, ranging in size from a hoe
to a harvester, completed the scene. On all
sides was the great prairie rolling away to
the horizon, with not another house in sight.
"Isn't it terribly lonesome living out here,
all alone?" said I, turning to the girl with a
shudder.
"Lonesome ?" she asked, quickly. "Why ?"
"Why ? Because you are out of the world
entirely ; you have no neighbors, no society,
nothing to amuse yourself with."
"Who asks for neighbors and soeietv ?
Not I. As for amusement?hull! Guess I
can .have all the fun I want hunting and
riding 'round the country. No, I ain't lonesome.
I am a regular Dakota girl, mister.
A land agent down at Burton's was up here
once, and he said, 'God made the country and
men made the town,' so I guess it's all right
if I like the country best, ain't it?"
She was a hard girl to understand.
"Thenyou never feel lonely?"
"Never. Maw and paw and brother Ned
and I generally have enough to do. Then
sometimes Joel comes over, and he's all the
company we want or care for."
''Joel?"
"Yes?Joel Simpson. He took up a claim
over north just to the right of that bluff
there?see it! Can't sec the house, 'cause
it's too far out of sight. If Joel has good
luck with his crops this year, we're going to
get married in the fall."
"I hope he'll have good crops."
"So do I. So does maw and paw, although
they don't like to have me leave any mor'n 11
like to go; hut (with a sigh) people have got
to strike out for themselves sometime, and
then, you know (her blue eyes sparkling) I
like Joel."
"And I know he must like you," I said.
"Says he does, hut?"
"Liz! Liz! ain't you never going to bring
that water ? Laws a mussy ! ha ve you lost
the bucket in the well, or?"
A touseled head appeared at the door, and
a garrulous voice died away when the cause
of Liz's tardiness was discovered.
My companion picked up her bucket of
water and darted away.
"Yes, maw, I'm coming. Good-bye, mister;"
and she hastened to the house.
My horse had finished drinking during our
vcrv brief conversation, and I got into the
buggy and drove away, barked out of sight
by a pair of dogs. But from that day I have
ever been impressed with the frankness and
independence of at least one Dakota girl.
FOItCK AT A KISSING BEE.
Back in the North Carolina mountains the
student of customs may still lind material
for research. The more unique arc the kissing
games, which still cling to the soil. A
lot of big-limbed, powerful young men and
apple-cheeked, buxom girls, gather and select
one of their number as master of ceremonies.
He takes his station in the centre
of the room, while the rest pair off anil
parade around him. Suddenly one of the
young women will throw up her hands and
say :
"I am a-pinin'."
The master of ceremonies takes it up and
the following dialogue and interlocution takes
place :
"Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop says she's
a-pinin'. What is Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop
a-pinin' fur ?"
"I am a-pinin' fur a sweet kiiis."
"Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop says she's
a-pinin' fur a sweet kiss. Who is Miss Arabella
Jane Apthrop a-pinin' fur a sweet kiss
frum ?"
"I'm a-pinin' fur a very sweet kiss frum
Mr. Hugh Waddle." (Blushes, convulsive
giggles and confusion on the part of Miss
Arabella Jane Apthrop at the forced confession).
Mr. Hugh Waddle walks up manfully
and relieves the fair Arabella's "pinin' "
by a smack which sounds like a three-yearold
steer drawing his foot out of the mud."
Then a young man will be taken with a
sudden and unaccountable "pinin' " which,
after the usual exchange of questions and
volunteered information, reveals the name
of the maiden who causes his "gnawin' " and
"pinin'." She coyly retreats out of doors,
only to be chased, overtaken, captured and I
forcibly compelled lo relieve her captor's
distress.
At one of these entertainments, which it
was the narrator's fortune to attend, there
was a remarkably beautiful young woman
who had been married a month. Her husband
was present, a huge, beetle browed,
blackened young mountaineer, with a fist
like a ham. The boys fought shy of the
bride for fear of incurring the anger of the
sulking spouse. The game went on for
some time when symptoms of irritation
developed in the fiant. Striding to the middle
of the room he said :
"My wife ez pooty, 'n cz nice 'n sweet ez
any gvurl byar. You uns lies knowed her
all her life. This game's been a goin' on
half an hour an' nobody has pined for her
oncct. Ef some one don't pine for her
pooty soon thar will be trouble."
She was the belle of the ball after that.
Everybody pined for her.
Oitr Northern Boundary.?The northern
boundary of our country is marked by
cairns, iron pillars, earth mounds and timber
posts. A stone cairn is seven and a half by
eight' feet; an earth mound, seven by fourteen
feet; an iron pillar, seven feet high ; and
timber posts, five feet high. There arc three
hundred and eighty-five of these marks between
the Lake of the Woods and the base
of the Rocky mountains. That portion of
the boundary that lies east and west of Red
river valley is marked by cast-iron pillars at
mile intervals. The Canadian government
placed one every two miles and the United
States one between every two of them.
They are hollow castings, in the form of a
truncated cone, eight feet high. Inside of
each is a cedar post. The wooden marks
are well seasoned posts, painted; but the
Indians cut them down for fuel, and nothing
but iron posts will last very long. When
the line crosses lakes, stone piers arc built,
being in some places eighteen feet under
water and eight feet above. In forests the
line is marked by felling trees, a rod wide.
fifei?" ''Tin; moment :v mini becomes a drunkard,"
writes Dr. Carol Iters in The North
American, "lie forfeits all rights to liberty
and becomes a ward of the State, and should
he. controlled by it. It is dense ignorance
that permits any one to destroy his life and
property by drink, on the supposition that
lie is a free moral agent. The inebriate is
mentally and physically ill, and needs the
same help as the insane; and the question
of care is simply one of adi quale means and ;
remedies to reach the disease.
tfiT The highest inhabited point in the
world is claimed to beat the top of l'ike's I
IVak, on which a hotel has been built. The
hotel is 1-1,147 above sea level, and is reached
by a railway starting from Manitou
Springs, this point itself being S,-1(1(1 feet
above the sea. In order to keep the locomotive
engine from slipping backward it is provided
with cog winds, which follow a third j
rail also cogged.
thy .Mr. Manhattan Peach has just been j
paying a number of bills which his hopeful i
son, who is a student at Vale college, contracted.
"I had no idea," said the old man
to his son, "that studying was so expensive." J
"(Hi, yes, it costs money," replied the
youth, "and I didn't study so very much I
eil her."
ft*#""I wish," said Pink Whiskers, the
tramp, "I had as many dollars as it is easy
to lit hats. You see, a gang of us will lay
down in the weeds alongside the railroad, a
little way from the water tank. .lest as aj
passenger train is about to start oil', after the I
engine is through takin' water, we jump up
and holler, 'llowdy, colonel?' Then all
the men in the ear slick their heads out ov
the winders, an' we grab tlier hats an' slide, j
Uv course this is in the South. In the West
we sny 'jedge,' and in the East we say 'perfessor."
Anywhere else we sing out, 'Howdy,
Mr. Smith ?' "
? To
Keep Weevils Out of Corn.?As
the time is near at hand when the fanner
will house his corn, we will state for the benefit
of all, that before houscing, put a few
armfuls of vermifuge weed in the bottom of
your cribs, something that grows on almost
every farm in the country, and by so doing
you will clear your corn of weevils. Don't
say, "Well, I don't believe it." Try it, as
we have done. It don't cost anything. If
it will, and you know it does, expel vermin
from the human stomach, why not from
corn. And a few leaves of it will drive
worms from cabbage. Place a few leaves
on each plant and try it.
The Irishman's Defence.?A soldier of
a cavalry regiment was brought up for stealing
his comrade's liquor ration. He was an
Irishman, and his defence was unique : "I'd
he sorry indade, suit, to he culled a thafe !
I put the liquor in the same bottle, and mine
was at the bottom ; and sure I was obliged
to drink his to get at my own !"

DO YOU WANT A WATCH?
0
If You area Subscriber to THE ENQUIRER,
* We Offer You a Bargain that You Cannot
Duplicate in America?Plain, Straightforward
Business. No Quibbling.
WE congratulate our readers and ourselves
on an arrangement wo havo just completed
with one of the most reliable wholesale
jewelry establishments in tho United States by
which we are enabled to furnish subscribers to
Tun Enquihkh with reliable Watches, manufactured
by the leading American companies, at
prices never before heard of in this section.
Now, before going any further, we desire to impress
upon the subscribers of Tii'k Knqitiiikh
tho fact that these watches are not "bankrupt"
goods, are not sold to close out or anything of
that style, but us we remarked above they are
strictly first class and just as represented. We
wish it distinctly understood that these watches
are not offered as premiums, nor will they be
sold to any one who is not a yearly subscriber
to Tiik Enquihkk.
This is purely and simply a plan on our part
to give a good thing to our subscribers if they
want it, and at a reasonable price.
The American standard watches, the best time
keepers in the world, are graded as seven, eleven,
thirteen anil fifteen jeweled, full jeweled and
adjusted. Very few men?not one in five hundred?carry
either an adjusted or even a full jewnlml
ivnti'li Thorn in no reason wliv UI1V Sllb
scribcr to Thk Hnquiiikr should not fiave a
watch carefully adjusted to heat, cold and position,
nor why any subscriber should not have a
trustworthy time-keeper.
Thk Knquikkh proposes to make "leaders"
of tho live styles described below.
No. fift'l.?Is a nickel silver bassinc open faco
case, which will wear equal to coin silver, fitted
with a 7 jewel American full nickle plate movement.
This Wntcli is the equal for wear and time
of a watch many times its cost. Tho regular retail
price of tho watch is $8.50, but wo propose to
furnish it to our subscribers for $5.35. If a reliable
time-kcepor is all you want this watch will
meet your requirements.
No. (195.?Is an 18 Size, open faco 10 karat gold
filled Montauk case, guaranteed to wear for 15
years and it will wear a great deal longer. It is
fitted with tho same movement as No. (193. Tho
regular retail price of tliis watcli im ^iu.uu. vv o
propose to funiish it to our subscribers for 312.25.
No. 802.?This a No. 18 size with open face.
It lias a silver tilled case with screw back and
screw bezel, which makes them dust proof.
These eases are mude by Joseph Fahys and are
as duruhlo in every particular as a ttolid silver
case, the outside or exposed parts being made of
solid coin silver. Tins case is litted with a 15
jewel gilt Elgin or Waltham movement, as the
purchaser may prefer. The regular retail price
of the watch is 322.00. Our price is 314.75. This
watch is the equal jis a timekeeper of any watch
on the market, and is intended especially for
those who have heavy work to do. You can't
make a mistake in buying this watch.
No. <158.?This is a lady's watch. It is a No.
(J size, 13 jewel nickel Elgin movement, fitted to
a genuine "Hoss 14 Karat" gold filled case guaranteed
to wear 20 years, and will wear much
longer. If a Waltham movement is preferred to
the Elgin, wo can funiish a 1 size Wultham
13 jewel nickel movement fitted to a "Crescent"
14 karat gold filled case, guaranteed to wear 20
years. The "Crescent" case is equal in every
particular to the "Hoss," and the reason for furnishing
the "Crescent" case with the Waltham
movement is that it won't fit the "Hoss" case.
The regular retail price of either of these watches
is310.00. Our price is324.50. TJieso watches are,
indeed, beauties, and any lady may be proud to
carry either of them. Tho eases are what is
efllled a "double" or hunting.
No. 524.?Is a No. 18 size, Hoss hunting, 14
karat gold filled ease guaranteed for 20 yeitrs.
Tho ease is handsomely engraved?it is alieauty.
This case is litted with a 15 jewel nickel Waltham
or gilt Elgin adjusted movement, with patent
regulator. This watch is undoubtedly one of
best made in the United States, and the man who
buys one will have a watch which he can leave
to his son when ho no longer needs a watch.
Tho regular retail price of tho watch is 350.00.
Our price is 320.75.
For the information of those not familiar with
gold filled cases, we will say that a 14 karut filled
case of either tho Hoss, Fahys or Crescent patent,
is equal in appearance and wearing qualities to
a 14 karat solid gold ease. There are probably
five gold tilled cases sold to one solid gold case,
which proves very conclusively that a large
majority of those persons who buy watches do

satisfaction Drowning a solid gold c:ise.
All tlio above described, watches are stein
winders and stein setters, and are in every way
jnst as represented. Their appearance, in beauty
of design and linish, is far better than we din
describe. Heiiieiuher, too, that they are sold to
you at these low figures because you arc a subscriber
to Tim Knijiiiukii ; and unless your
name -is on our books, or a year's subscription
comes with your order, in addition to the price
of the watch, we cannot and will not sell you
a watch.
Another point. These oilers must be accepted
exactly as we make them. As our profits are
very small, almost nothing compared to nrofits
made by dealers, we cannot be bothered with
correspondence further than the filling of orders.
Select the stylo of watch you desire, send us the
money by bank dralt, money order or registered
letter, and the watch will be promptly sent you.
In ordering the watches order by the numbers
given in Tilk Enqitikku. Then we will know
to a certainty just what particular watch you
desire.
All watches are sent, as a rule, by registered
mail, and in any event we prepay all charges.
Wo do not keep any watches on hand, but
every watch is sent direct from the wholesale
dealers to the purchaser. It will take, therefore,
from one to two weeks from the timo
you write us before your watch can reach you.
Kuch watch is thoroughly tested before being
sontout, and will reach you in good condition.

Buckeye Mowing Machine. It has been in use

first day I used it. It runs light and cuts clean.
It will cut crab grass, clover, pea vines, nig weed,
or anything else that a reasonable man might
want io mow. I can take my Buckeye machine
and cut as much hay iu a day as any six men in
York county can cut with scythes "in the same
length of time; and lean take my Horse nike

can rake in a day. Neither my Mover or Hake
have ever yet struck for higher wages or had an
engagement to work for a neighbor when I
wanted my grass cut, or anything of that kind.
The Buckeye mower is the best mowing machine
of which I nave any knowledge. Every farmer
who wants to feed his stock at home, and not on
