DAD RICHARDSON'S WATCH r-. ft n?4 Travelled Halt a Million M(!?a and Never Told a Lie ?'Dad" Richardson sat with his chair buck against the front of tho "barber shop la tho village of Hamilton, Kan. Tho harbor yawned, btrcuhed Lis arms, mul asked: ? "What time la it. l>ad?" "It's how exactly [, o'clock 18 mill wtes and ?1 seconds." "Sui'o about tho seconds, nro you, Dad?" tho barber said, I'lutzzlcnli.v. "Yes, sir, I'm suro ahitut tho sec onds. You can hot all you've got on this watch." And ho hold tho stem of tho watoh between tho thumb aul forefinger of his hand ami hold it ???jt for public observation. "This watch Troops tho correct time to the second, j It hiis traveled with mo ;>o,i>.ib miles a your for the last ten years, an l she < nwer gone haclt on ;ae not as ! much as a fraction of a second." "Fifty thousand miles a year f"r j ton years? Why, that's half a milium i (idles," lntorru|>tod the stranger! . "That's right. Figure It up. It's H 105-mile run from ICmpnrla to Mo line and back, and for ten years I'vo made that run six days each week; that's 000 inlh'H week, Isn't It? And there's fifty-two weeks In a year. Fifty-two times POd Is JM.ISO miles a year and ten years Is M l,son mlhs. Am I right?" "Yes." "Well, that Isn't all. I carried that watch with me live years when I ran j between Detroit and Chicago." "iieon In the railroad business <p;l!<\ n loujr. time, haven't you?" suggested ? ;ho stranger, "lieen In It forty years." "That so?" "Yes, forty years. When I went In I ? the business as a railroad brakemati there were no telegraphs, but W e had Ho more accidents than now. I!:in ; nlower, of course, and had to do morn j figuring, but we g"t there Ju t the j game. Wcro m? sleeping cars then, j The seats in night cars had movable ; headrests at the back like those ?>ji bail or chairs. They were padded, and Mt night we used lo slip them up for J passengers to rest their heads on. Tho j engines than had injectors, and wa- I tor could only be pumped into the,boil er while the locomotive was ^moving and the wheels going round. When an j engine ran short of water on a siding I the engine and lender usod to ^o out ! on the main line ami run up ami down f ie ic'icu: to pump water into the t oilei. "Hum," grunted the stranger. "Yes, am) the engineer and fireman ' had no cabs. I ."sod to stand out uu covered li^all sorts of weather, l'.ut the lu'iikeiin'u on top of tho trains hud ; U snap in sloppy weather. <m top tho /Tars tit each end was an arrangement like a buggy top. that raised and low ?red, and win :i It rained or snowed the brakenian used to raise his nugg.v top and sit In there on a spring seat snug as a bug in a rug." Kansas City ft'ur. Some Chinese Impressions. There In no such thing In China as a government, us \vc understand it. There Is the outward form. but It N entirely devoid <? f substance. There are olllelnls, but they lack power, ami even the Imperious will of the I'm jirt ss I ii)wnj,fcr cannot he impressed on the people at large, The present dis turhanee, If it i.s at least a popular uprising, indicates the helplessness of the central government to govern; or If It Is at irtost actually wipportcd by the aiilhorlties, then we see the euri - otis spectai le c?f a government carry ing on n war against the civilized ?world In concert, with the greater part of its people ami the whole of it? navy standing by apparently unmoved.

It was Voltaire who said: " People whose bowels arc freed by an easy, regular move ment every morning are mild, -liable, gracious, kind.
