Is IT ANYTHING MORE THAN SOP?
From The Boston Advertiser
It is true that the democratic platform practi-

Clock in Westminster Tower

1t is a most wonderful clock that
shines forth from the tower of the
Houses of Parliament, Westminster
"a truly great clock, the largest in
the world, in fact. 1t is for this
great piece of mechanism that
"Big Ben," the famous old bell of
Westminster, strikes the hours, and
the two are known the world over.
There are four hundred and twenty
steps in the ascent to the tower, so
that the clock from the courtyard
below looks just like an ordinary
time-keeper. But distance is very
deceptive in this case. The min
utes on the face of the monster
clock are a foot apart from each
other, while the numerals are two
feet in length. The minute-hand,
with the counter-balance, is fifteen
feet long, and sometimes during a
snow-storm a regular drift gathers
on this hand and prevents its go
ing. In the clock-room the noise
VI ohc CiChinB anu IHt CHtiulHS OI
the bells is described as simply
deafening, and the monstrous PEN
dulum resembles greatly the shaft
of some huge engine. 1t requires
two men to wind the clock twice
week and it takes them four hours
each time to do it, allowing for
halts, only when the quarters are
rung. 1t was manufactured near
ly forty years ago. Seventy-two
steps above this monster is "Big
Ben" and four smaller bells which
announce the quarter hours. Twen-
ty men could stand under big
Ben" with ease and escape the rain.
Above the bells is the lantern at
the summit of the tower, which is
large enough for several men to
stand within. 1t contains a gas
light equal to 1000 candle-power,
and has flame fifteen inches long.
An electric light was once there,
but the glare was too great.

on the earth! she exclaimed. Il
despise the man you namer
Her brother laughed contempt
uously, and taking her by the arm,
led her toward his fathers lodge.
When she was taken before her
relatives, they covered her with re-
proaches, accusing her of unmaid-
enly conduct. All her spirit was
aroused by their taunts.
i see plainly she said, that
you are not my parents My father
and mother and brothers must have
died when ] was an infant, leaving
me to the care and affection of
strangers! will go to seek my
relatives in the land of shadows.
They will be glad to see me, and
console me for the misery | have
suffered.
"She hastened from the lodge,
stepped into a canoe and padded
swiftly for yonder cliff. Her
friends watched her movements
with silent terror, until they saw
her touch the shore and climb the
Jagged height; then they cried out
in remorse, and ran to arrest her
purpose. But they were too late to
reach the spot. They saw her up
on the summit, and the words of
her death-song were borne mourn
fully to their ears. They shouted
their sorrow, they promised in vain;
it she heard their wild adiurations,
she needed them not, but scorned
their late repentance. She chanted
her wrongs, called on the Great
Spirit, tossed her arms in the air,
and leaped from the dizzy height.
The waters of the lake closed over
her, and her conscious-stricken
relatives saw her no more"

to crash the train as il thundered
round the curve. On the left of it
lowered the solid granite with its
innumerable Jagged points. On the
right, almost beneath the track, was
a deep abyss, with the angry river
boiling at the bottom.
1.-THE engineer could not see the
rock till he passed the bend, and
then it would be too late. Disaster
seemed inevitable-disaster, sudden,
awful, complete!
''The train approached the curve.
Two minutes more, and the crash
must surely come! Just at the cri-
tical time, poor Hogden happened
to be strolling along the gorge, and
discovered the fallen rock. He
heard the thunder of the cars, and
his simple mind comprehended the
terrible extremity. His instinct
was quicker than many a mans
reason.
"He dashed down the track to
meet the train.
"As the locomotive rolled in sight,
the eye of the ever-watchful engi-
neer caught the figure of man ON
the track, running and swinging
his hat frantically in the air. In
stantly, he blew the whistle, and
every brakeman piled his brake hard
down. The engine was reversed,
and the heavy train rumbled on
past Foolish George, who had saved
it, past the curve, and stopped, bare
ly sixteen feet from the rock.
'Then the astonished passengers
got out of the cars, looked, shud-
dering into the abyss below, and to
bless poor Foolish Hogden for their
deliverance from death"
Before the story was finished,
my friend had covered his face with
his hands.
After "A pause, he looked up and
said, God forgive me for my
thoughtlessness! | was on that
train! But never knew that it
was Foolish George Hogden who
saved us from destruction.
us it possible that only that poor
idiots intellect stood between us
and eternity that day? shall nev-
er laugh at his simplicity again.
God bless poor George Hogden"
That act of Foolish George was
what earned him the right to ride
free anywhere on the Passumic
River Railroad as long as he lives.

A Bite.

Mr.. Jones kept toy shop, and
among various things sold fishing
rods. For the purpose of advertis-
ing them he had large rod hang
ing outside, with an artificial fish
at the end of it.
One night, when most people
were in bed, a man who was rather
the worse for his nights enjoyment
happened to see this fish. He
looked at it and then went cautious
ly up to the door and knocked
gently. Jones did not hear this, so
after the man had knocked little
louder he responded at the window
up above.
"Who's thereP" said Jones.
Don't make a noise," but come
down as quickly as you can,"
At the request our friend thought
there must be something the mat
ter. So after dressing and coming
down as quickly as possible, he pro-
ceeded to know what it was.
"What is the matter?" he asked.
Ssh" said the man. "Pull your
line in quick, you've got bite!'
