HOW WATCHES RUN.
Their Regularity Depends Largely
Ipou the Owners Magnetism.

Every mar is his own magnet, Is
the proposition recently evolved by
Washington jeweller of many years ex-
perience, according to the Washington
Post.
1T is all dependent on the animal
magnetism of the owner. whether or
rot his watch will run fast or slow,
said the jewellar when explaining MS
theory. The same watch Will run at
different speeds when carried by differ
ent persons, and nc pe"son Is likely 10
Il Glory tima without returning once or
twice to the jeweller to have the regu.a-
tor touched to get the system OF "
keyed up to the same pitch as that oil
its owner.
Now, used to have a friend who
had an excellent Swiss watch while
had one of another make. BY mutua
watches and, though they had gone all
right before, they then changed their
gait entirely. mine running five minutes
ahead W Couple OF da.s. anu ms run,
ming five minutes behind. There Was ten
minutes difference in our temperament ..
But that is nothing compared to the az
ference between some people. some
times a watch that Will run well on one
man will not go with another. and there
are some people who canno: get watch
! that will run on them at all.
=" remember a good many years ago
I had a man come to my place with an
old-fashioned English lever watch to be
repaired. | had some very nice gold
watches in stock at the time, and as he
looked we'll off l tried to sell him one,
but he laughed and said If any OF ths
gold watches | had in the store would
run twenty-four hours in his pocket he
would give me twice what | asked for
1t. He said he had tried all sorts OF gold
watches and had never been able to get
| one that would run while he had It,. He
| had experimented with his brother :
watch only a little while before, he
said, and II cost him $3.50 to have II
demagnetized after he had carried II II
| his pocket two days. Most silver
| watches acted the same way with him
| but the old English watch he was carry
| ing had a double inside case to 1t anc
| worked fairly well.
| i've never been able to tell whether
| the average watch will run faster wher
| 1t Is in its owners possession or not
| There seems to be no rule on the subject
| but | can never regulate a watch on m!
| swingboard there and then give 1t to {
| customer and have it keep good time
| Then there Is variation with chang

customers come to me and say that thel
watches had started up and gone t

or temperament. It's one of those thing

HIS PRICE WAS TOO HIGH.

The discussion on giving women the
privilege of the ballot had at last come
to an end, after an acrimonious debate
lasting four days a careful poll had
been taken. says the Cincinnati Tribune,
and il developed that the vote would be
a tie without the vote of the member
from Potato Creek. His choice was I'M
known. So committee of earnest

The Committee looked at him in
amazed and Mortified silence for a mo-
ment, then gave one shrek OF despair
and fed.
The next day the vote was taken and
the cause was doomed.

THE SHOW BUSTED Up.
4 Two-Turn Vaudeville Bill Was

Il once had an idea" said the show
man to a Buffalo Express reporter. IT
was brand new and corker. l went
to see a three-ring circus one day. and
while I was there it struck me that II
would put variety show on the road
with two separate and distinct turns
would be tickled with it and would
make money. l figured II out that
there are many times when man goes
to a variety show and yawns through a
something of the kind. Now. II there
were two turns going on the man could
look at the other one. you know. and
s STua cone wouiS be ns,y SccasionalIv
We would strike man who would be
bored by the two turns at the same
time;
The plan seemed a tip-topper, and l
got a partner who had money. and We
started to put 1t into execution. We
hired lot OF people and put on a show
at time. For instance, II there was
serio-comic on the stage We would
have a trapeze act from the dome OF
If they had been creased.
The partner l had was a man who
had never, been in the show business
about It. as matter OF course. See.
Ing that he had put up the money,
let him have few words 70 say about

night out we had a row, and the show
busted then and there. Since then
have never found anyone who would gc
into the scheme"
What was the row about" asked the
listener.
"Oh, my partner was in the box-oftict
and he tried to make a cross-eyed mar
