<'"v THE OLD CLOCK AGAINST THE i * WALL. 3 i Oh! the old, old clock of the household s stock, | t Was the brightest thine and neatest; , Its hands, though old, hacl a touch of gold, j ' And its chime rang still the sweetest; J 'Tvras a monitor, too, though its words i were few. % \ Yet they lived through nations altered, And its voice, still strong, warned old and young. ] When the voice of friendship faltered. j *'Tick! tick!" it said?"quick, quick to bed, For 10 I've given warning; ,Up! ud! and go, or else you know. You'll never rise soon in the morning!" { A friendly voice was that old, old clock, ] As it stood in the corner smiling. And it blessed the time "with a merry 1 chime, < The wintry hours beguiling; _ ] But a cross old voice was that tiresome clock. 1 As it called at daybreak boldly; 1 iWhen the dawn looked gray o'er the misty ( - way, And the early air blew coldly. ' *Tick! tick!" it said, "quick out of bed, J For 5 I've given warning; j iYou'1! never have health, you'll never have , wealth. . Unless you're up soon in the morning!" ' I ] Still hourly the sound goes round and j _ round. |, With a tone tliat never ceases; i ( jWhile tears are shed for bright days fled, And the old friends lost forever; ] Its heart beats on?though hearts are gone, ( k Yet love still lives the stronger; Its hands still move?though hands we love I Are clasped on earth no longer! " 'Tick! tick!" it said?"to the churchyard ! bed, ; j The grave hath given -warning; Up! up! and rise, and look at the skies. And prepare for a heavenly morning!" ?New England Grocer.

"'Did the joke help j'ou to find out?" "Don't be silly!" said the girl with the cabbage rose. "I was called to the telephone yesterday," she went on, "and a curt voice announced that the speaker was a newspaper reporter who desired to verify a notice his paper had received to the effect that my engagement to Jthe Rev. Mr. Fairman was just announced. I nearly choked in my 4 hurry to assure him there must be a mistake, that it wasn't so at all, and for godness' sake not to print any ?uch dreadful thing. He was very nice and said if the announcement iwas premature the paper had no de\ -eire to print it. *T hrnlro in tn OTnlnin that if . iwasn't premature and then he broke in to inquire in an injured voice why 1f It was so I objected to the publication. Then I had to eiplain in detail that it wasn't premature because It wasn't so at all and wasn't going to be so. "He said that sometimes one could not tell and that he really could not understand why such a notice came in if there wasn't some truth in it. So there we stood and quarreled about it, I was getting madder and madder at the universe in general? at the reporter for his persistence, at the Rev. Mr. Fairman for ever existing on the same earth with me and, most of all, at whoever had sent in such a dreadful announcement! "Just when I was almost crying there was a break in the even, polite tone at the other end of the wire and like a flash of lightning it burst upon me that no one but Bert Randall had that particular little quaver when he ,was trying not to laugh. "You think you're mighty clever. T Bert Randall, don't you?" I asked, ,with hysterical calm. But he wouldn't give in. He said he really couldn't * .understand me. So I said neither could I understand him. Then I ^ (hung up the receiver. "1 wanted to cry and I wanted to j laugh?because it was so cleverly , done. Don't you think Bert is dread- ' fully bright?" ( "Oh, horribly!" cheerfully agreed j the girl with the angelic eyes. 1 "Well, in a couple of hours the ( phone rang again and this time the ^ .voice announced calmly that the speaker was the Rev. Mr. Fairman ; and he wished to inquire about some- . !thing rather odd. I just flared at j out at that. I thought Bert was ' going rather too far. I knew it was . Bert because Mr. Fairman never called me up on the phcne but once in his life and th?.t time it was about .the bazaar. "I determined to give Bert a little excitement, so I answered in a sweet, smooth voice and said I supposed it . was in regard to our engagement. I asked if he knew the papers were to print the announcement the next day. Bert played his part to perfection. He seemed politely troubled and murmured that he had not been aware of the fact. I called him dearest and rallied him about his forgetfulness. m That confused him so he couldn't say a word. Then I piled It on. "I called him Chauncey?that's Mr. Fairman's name, you know?and said I had simply been counting the minutes since I saw him last. I asked .when he would be up again. I mourced over the publicity when the ;world found out about our engagement and asked if he thought we'd ]be just as much to each other as beJore. "Then I paused a moment to let it Sink in, after which I asked Bert if ibe had enough and would call it -ix? TT? nnt/1 V A Vi AII orli f if n?nnlH XJU1U3.

I told him it was no wonder, because his brain .vas not constructed to stand so much strain in one day and that after all I ;hought the joke was on him. He ;aid it certainly seemed to be. Then [ got tired and hung up the receiver, ?or Bert's fun goes about so far and ;hen he gets kind of stupid." "There certainly wasn't very much point to it," said the girl with the mgelic eyes. ******* The girl with the cabbage rose regarded her mournfully. "I haven't :old you the point yet," she said in a itifled voice. "You see it really was ;he minister who (Jailed me up the second time. At last when I got Bert on the phone to-day to tell him igain what I thought of him, he cowed and protested that he had jailed me up only once yesterday xnd if the other man said he was Mr. Fairman he was Mr. Fairman, for ill he knew to the contrary. And the wretched part of it is that I don't tnow whether or not to believe hidi! fie may be still joking, you know." "And then again he may not!" said the girl with the angelic eyes.

Efforts to Replace the Pneumatic Tube, i "Inventors may come and inventus may go," says the Motor World, 'but the penumatic tire goes on forever, seems to represent in a nutshell :he status of the present universally ised type of tire and of the horde of inventors who are vainly trying to lisplace it with something that shall possess all of its advantages, but lack its defects. While the history of ;reat inventions clearly shows that t is never safe to deride a device or its inventor regardless of how bizarre )r far-fetched his idea may appear at Irst sight, there would seem to be ittle of permanent value in the mass if spring devices that are now ap- i pearing so constantly as to run a ' :lose second to the non-reflllable bot;le and the rotary engine in the pat ;nt records. "People, great and small, learned md otherwise, ridiculed the telegraph and the telephone to a far jreater extent than is the lot of the ' lirship of to-day, and not alone the I iverage tire user, but the tire maker i without exception, regards with imused contempt the thousand and )ne attempts to utilize wierd and i 'reakish combinations of springs and ubber to obtain the degree of resiliency that experience thus far has i lemonstrated is only possible with ubber and canvas-confined air. rhere are two fundamental principles i lpon which rest the value of the i meumatic tire?the extreme elastic- i ty of compressed air, in which re- I ipect it is equalled by no other < cnown substance, and the fact that i his indispensable quality is applied i lirectly at the place where it is most equired?the point of shock. 4 i "Many of the devices that have j :ome and gone in the past year or ? ??a V? o rrn Vt o r\ i n PArnnri fori -In fhatr I n V/ UUTO UUU 1UVV1 i#W4 UbV\4 4U l>uv*4 nake-up one or the other of these I jrinciples. Many have placed the I iprings about the rim In the attempt ,o concentrate the desired effect vhere most wanted; others have em)loyed rubber confined air about the lub and yet others have virtually )laced a pneumatic tube beneath a solid rubber tire, only altering the :onstruction of the wheel itself to he extent necessitated by the ihanged form of rim. With the ex:eption of the last, which it realy a orm of pneumatic tire, neither of i he most numerous classes have emwdied both of these sine qua non, vithout which the results now afbrded by the pneumatic tire are imlossible. "Whether a device that will do so sffectively will ever materialize, or vhether one of the army of geniuses hat is laboring to this end will suc:eed In discovering some totally new nethod of achieving this much deiired result is a subject upon which it s not easy to predict. One thing is :ertain, and that is that no great imount of progress has been forth:oming as yet, and that little or nona s to be expected from further adlerence to the ideas that have bees )roven to be fallicies time and again. !t would doubtless be better for those nost interested if the slate could be nriped clean and a new start made."

IN THE PUI \ THE REV. IRA W. I PREACHER AND A WRITER OF READ- ca so ABLE SERMONS APPEARS. N ci< The Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, whose convincing and readable weekly sermons are now receiving so wide a circulation by being published In hundreds of newspapers throughout the United States in the same way that the late Dr. T. De Witt Talmage's memorable discourses were reproduced, was born in the city of Brooklyn, N. Y., on the 2d of March, 1878, the son of Thomas J. and Grace W. Henderson, lifelong and widely known residents of that city. He was educated in the common 3chools of his native city and at the age of eighteen entered Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y. While in college Mr. Henderson was a prominent athlete, being one of the fastest sprinters in the college. He was also Interested in oratorical affairs and in (lis sophomore year was a' prize speaker and in his senior year a prize debater. After graduation from ! sollege Mr. Henderson entered Union Seminary, from which he graduated three years later. Mr. Henderson's first call was to the pastorate of the West Avenue Presbyterian Church,. , Df Buffalo, N. Y. Here he served] with success. The strain of close ' work telling on him, Mr. Henderson, after two years of labor in Buffalo, resigned. Last May he was called to the pastorate of the Irving Square Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, N. Pi Y. Here his work is so successful as :o focus him in the public eye. One jf the finest features of the work done in his parish is a boy's brigade, the best in the city of Brooklyn, with a membership of 137 young men and St boys. d? Mr. Henderson is a member of the m: Chi Psi fraternity and a Mason. h?

D'j New Idea in Cans. cl In emptying a can of corn, or like P( vegetable, or a jar of jelly or pre- a( norvps some of the contents natural- r ly adhere to the sides. It then becomes necessary to scrape off as much as possible with a knife or spoon. Even the economical housewife still sees some on the bottom of the can that she cannot remove. To prevent waste of this character a Kentucky man has devised a rather unique idea. He uses the ordinary type of hermetically sealed can, which is opened by means of a key. Within the can is a disk, which is of slightly less diameter than that of the can. This disk lies on the bottom of the can. Projecting upward from the centre of the disk is a rod having at the upper end an eye or loop which forms a finger-piece. The rod is approximately as long as the depth of the can, so that the finger-piece is directly beneath the cover. It will be obvious that after the cover is removed the contents of the can can be readily removed by pulling on the rod. As the edges of the disk lie, - ' ' / . 3LIC EYE.

It j, is certainly most unusual and extra- c ordinary. The action was taken, j, however, when Secretary Taft learned g that the actual discharge had been a started. s A Cabinet officer might issue such 0 an order with the knowledge and v consent of the President, but no instance is now recalled in which with- s out the President's permission any j of his subordinates has ever ven- v tured to interfere with an Executive order. t The occurrence of so remarkable i an event is taken to indicate that t Mr. Taft has enlisted zealously in the c cause of the discharged soldiers, and <] is determined to uphold them at any j cost.
