WBLNÍ8DAY MAY. 13 1*« lie Bought A Watch H tall man in black clothes of no particular styleentered a Broadway jewelry shop the other day and asked to see a watch. The clerk, sizing him up for a poor country parson w ho would be well rid of, produced a $200 timepiece as a dis courager. The stranger looked it over and asked to see something better. Winking to the cashier, the clerk reached for a specially made chronometer, the price of which he felt would be a squelcher. The seedy man examined the watch and inquired its value. ••One thousand dollars,” said the bright clerk. “Ah.” observed the customer. “I^et me see a chain, please.” An expensive chain was produced and then the visitor selected a val uable charm which had been made for evhibition only. The stranger stuck the jewelry into his vest pock et, and the clerk, fearing that he might have entertained a thief.kept close to the suspect, who quietly fished out a big roll of bills, and placed two $1000 gold certificates upon the counter. Utterly phased the salesman remarked that it was customary to keep the names of customers to identify goods, if lost by purchasers. “My name is Jones,” said the stranger; “Senator Jones,of Nevada You mav address me at the Capitol.” And the silver senator, taking the change for his certificates,departed. —New York Sun BURNS OREGON M rs F.
