The ClOck stopped.

A local corporation recently organized
established its headquarters on the top
floor of one of the tallest buildings in
town. The attorney had room to him.
self, the Secretary was given another pal
atial apartment, the Superintendent reign
ed supreme in another place, the Presi-
dent was of course compelled to Outdo all
the Others in leather. cushioned chairs,
massive tables and expensive bronzes.
The crowning glory of his private Of
fee was big clock with an elabarately
carved case. 1t was the best clock in the
entire stock OF local dealer, and it had
long, shiny pendulum, which was to
swing very slowly and with regularity as
became a clock owned by the President
of such solid and respectable corpora
ton.
On the first day the pendulum stopped.
The clock was sent back to the dealer,
whose experts took it apart, oiled it and
set it TO running again. Once more it was
taken up to the Presidents office and
once more it ceased running. For a sec-
ond time the experts dissected it and
found every part in working order. 1t
kept time to the second for two days, and
was confidently returned to the buyer,
who reported back in two hours: "The
clock has stopped"
An architect who became acquainted
with the facts in the case solved the mys-
terry. He said the oscillation Of the high
building counteracted and stopped the
swing of the pendulum. The pendulum
couldn't work with any regularity so long
as the building was nodding around in
the changing wind like a cattail before a
summer zephyr.
$50 the tall buildings do swing back
and forth?" he was asked.
Certainly, but don't be afraid ; they'll
not break - Chicago Record.

THE WANDERER.

Upon mountain height, far from the sea,
/ found a shell,
And to my listening ear the lonely thing
Ever a song of ocean seemed to sing,
Ever tale of ocean seemed TO tell
How came the shell upon that mountain height?
All! who can say
Whether there dropped by some too careless
hand
Or whether there cast when ocean swept the
land,
Ere the Eternal had ordained the Day
Strange, was it not (? Far from its native deep,
One song it sang
Sang of the awful mysteries of the tide,
Sang of the misty sea, profound and wide
Ever with echoes of the ocean rang.
And as the shell upon the mountain height
Sings of the sea,
So do ] ever, leagues and leagues away
So do l ever, wandering where | may
Sing, o my home sing, o my home, OF
thee -EUgele Field.

SPEAKER CRISP PLEASED.
The House has Made Good Record his
Session.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-'I am much
gratifed," saidSpeaker Crisptoa oarepresenta-
tive of the Associated Press, "at the expedi-
tious and satisfactory manner in which the
present House of Representatives has dis
patched public business"
In view of the near approach of the close
of the session, Mr.. Crisp had been requested
to outline the general features of legislation
accomplished by the House and what remain
ed to be doneto round out the work of theses
sion.
eve have been singularly free from exas
perating delays" said the Speaker, "and the
greatquestions oftarifand finance have been
acted upon with exceptional promptness
considering the vast interests involved. And
vet there has been no curtailment of reason
able debate, and we have heard very little
complaint or criticism on that score. On
the other hand, fibustering is practically a
thing of the past, and the House has exper-
fenced little or no delay for the mere sake of
delay"
The Speaker was asked TO enumerate the
leading measures passed by the House.
"The tariff bill naturally comes first"
said he. ats passage by the House was at
tended by few delays. The extra session
permitted organization of committees so
that the ways and means committee was
we'll along on its work before the date when
Congress usually assemblies and the bill was
actually presented early in January, when,
as a usual thing, the committees are just be-
ginning to organize In the debate, also,
there was no wasting of time, and | think
Chairman Wilson succeeded in satisfying
both sides of the House that he desired to
be fair and yet to satisfy the wishes of the
public that the bill should be brought to a
vote after fair discussion.
"On the financial question, " continued the
speaker, Eve have avoided irritating delays.
When the business depression of last sum-
mer brought on the widespread public de-
mand for the repeal of the purchase clause
of the Sherman act the House met in extra
ordinary session and quickly performed its
part in the repeal for which President Cleye-
land had specially convened Congress-
Those opposing the repeal recognized the
propriety of allowing the House to reach a
vote without delay, and an agreement to
that effect was made and executed.
Another measure of great importance
passed by the House was the repeal of the
Federal election laws enacted during the re-
construction period. Three new States
Arizona, New Mexico and Utah-have been
admitted to the Union so far as the House
can accomplish that end and it remains
only for the Senate to complete the legisla-
tive work. The appropriation bills have all
been passed by the House, and most of the
more important ones were passed at an
unusually early stage of the session. 1t
remains for the Senate to complete the work
on these bills. Altogether, it is a record Of
work done, and done quickly, which must
prove satisfactory to the House, and to the
public, as it does to myself"

The Fate Of a Snorer.

1t was a through train. And the
weary night dragged itself reluctantly
along.
Little boy" said the gentle, soft-voiced
young man, who had been trying for
hours in vain 10 sleep, as he leaned
across the aisle and spoke to restless,
wide awake youngster, who was taking
his first ride on the cars and didn't want
to sleep anyhow, "do you see that fat old
gentleman near the middle of the car,
with his his head leaning back on his
seat ?"
"That old man that's snorin' so loud ?"
"Yes."
"Been snorin' ever SO long, haint. t.he?"
81 think he has. In fact, | am quite
sure he has. You see him. do you ?"
"Yep."
"You'd ike to earn dime, wouldn't
you little boy?"
"Bet l would
"Well I'm a physician. He's travel
ing for his health. You see this half of
a lemon, do you?"
"Yep."
About this time every night pre-
scribe lemon juice for him. What |
want you to do, little boy-here's your
dime-is to go quietly down the aisle, and
squeeze the juice of this half lemon right
into his open mouth"
"Mebby he won't like it,"
eyes he will. It's the way | always
administer it. He'll swallow it and be a
great deal better. Here's another dime.
Go and give him the lemon juice, and
say nothing about it,
When the tumult had subsided, and
the suddenly y-awakened passengers had
become comparatively calm again, it was
noticed that mild.looking young man
who occupied a seat across the aisle from
a restless, wide-awake youngster was fast
asleep, with a heavenly smile on his
youthful innocent face.

The Evans Leader to Be Temporary
Chairman of the Convention.
Atlanta, Ca, July 25.-The talk that
has been going the rounds of having an
Evans man Contemporary chairman of the
state convention has resulted in bringing
out 7. r. r. Cobb of this city for that
honor. Mr.. Cobb was one of the most
active and enthusiastic supporters of Gen.
Evans. He spoke in his interest all over
the state, and almost surrendered his pri-
vate business entirely in managing his
campaign. He is brilliant young man,
and his friends, both Evans and Atkinson
men, who are pushing his claims for the
temporary Craftsmanship, say that mis- Sc
lection would be received by Gen. Evans
as personal compliment. As soon as the
contest between Col. Atkinson and Gen
Evans was over MIR. Cobb Immediately
rendered his services to the committee TO
fight for the gentleman from Coweta,
whom he so vigorously opposed, in a
clear, fair way, as long as the fight
was on.
So far as announced the only other one
mentioned for the temporary chairman
ship is Hon. S. P. Gilbert of Columbus.
1t is forgone conclusion that Hon. A.
S. Clay of Cobb county will be perma-
nent chairman and chairman of the new
