had an experience of this kind. Some
times he has arrived nn hour ahead
of time or perhaps an hour after a
train lias loft, giving him time enough
for reflection.
]{ec?Mitly he conceived the Idea of
making bis watch tell all four different
times?eastern, central, mountain and
Pacific. lie went to a Jeweler and had
extra hour hands put on his timepiece,
each of f* different color, so that he
can recognize it at a glanco on the face
of Ids watch. For instance, the ordi
nary hour hand, set at eastern time,
is silver; a blue hand, set an hour
back, represents central time; a red
hand, for mountain time, is set two
hours back, and a green hour hand,
three hours back, represents Pacific
time. ?
You can do this to your own watch.

of these colors and alter your watch
