A Remarkable Clock.

J. C. Mccoy of st. Louis Is in pos
session of a remarkable clock that
has an interesting history. 1t was
made in 1911 and has been in Mis-
souri, since 1916. The aged horologe
was originally the timepiece of the
old Territorial bank of St Louis,
which WAS chartered in 1915, and
was the first bank west of the Mis-
sissippi river. At the close of that
institution the clock passed into tho
possession of the Bank of Missouri
in 1918. When that establishment
collapsed in 1922, the clock became
tho property of the bank president,
Colonel r. f. Riddick. After his
death in 1881 it served rs a timepiece
for his son-in-law, tho late e. T. Bill
lon. From him it went to his brother,
F. L. Billion. 1t was kept by him for
over 80 years, and his death, some
months ago, led up to condition
which has forced the family to think
of selling it.
During the long period which the
venerable clock has spent in Missouri
it has been kept constantly running,
with little if any repairs, except an
occasional cleaning, and records lime
with excellent accuracy.
1t Is what was originally known
as willard timepiece, " being
named after the patentee and man
ufacturer of that style of clocks in
Connecticut. The clock is made in
the fashion of colonial timepieces,
the pendulum swinging in square
box which is suspended from the
dial. That portion of the clock
which protects the shaft and pendu
lum bears painted scenes, one of
which is q medieval castle-Boston
Advertiser.

THE WORLD is NEW.

When spring with maiden tenderness
Steals shyly hither to caress.
To gladden. with her pretty mirth
Our happy, flow'r bedizened earth,
My dear, my dear, what pageant days
Will greet US in the country waysl
What Eden joys come back again
When hawthorns whitcn down the lanel
The little wistful moon. my friend,
Will peep above the gable end
And see the hillside orchard white
With blossom all the forvcnt night
The cottage panes will glow at DUSK
The darkness gather. sweet with musk.
And weary kline with tagging feet
Pass lowing down the village street.
And then at daybrcali, bark, oh. hush!
Beneath the stars the early thrush
Piping whil, heaven giiinmers gray
His morning carol. clear and gay.
Tie sang that self same song, you know.
In paradise years ago
And keeps, anged from all regret
His warm. brave heart, unvanquished yet
For him. for Us. the world is new
When daisied meadows CLEAN with dew.
All, not to us the times seem late
Who come but now to love and mate.
Content to deem IL is most wise
To watch life out with tranquil eyes.
To kiss warm lips and win thereby
4 little comfort Gro we die.

Bacteria For Fertilizers.

Drs. Hall, Riegel and Notbe have
made experiments in Germany
which tend to show that bacteria
which assimilate nitrogen can be
sown in the soil with great advan-
tage to the farmer, especially in

consider this plan preferable to the
method of inoculating suitable

Miss Rehecca Ronsal wears a handsome

Il was sitting alone in my little school
room in Winchester. Va, on the morning
OF September 16, 1864, when some one
knocked at the door, and n strange col
ored man entered and looked around in
such a cautious way as to greatly alarm
me. When demanded, in positive man
ner, what he wanted, ne immediately told
me he had n note from Gen. Sheridan,
who wanted Inc to tell him OF the position
and strength of the rebel forces.
II was greatly alarmed, but alter read
ing the note he had given me, which had
been rolled in tinfoil and carried under
it in case of capture, vent To my mother
and talked il over with her. We were al
most overpow cred with the thought of the
great risk We Were running and OF the

PETITE and PRETTY
and A POLITICIAN
Miss Helen Varick Boswell and Her
Work for Republicanism.
c. .rman of the New York WOman's
AssOciation-HerO Opinion of Mrs.
Mckinley and Mrs. Hanna.

Miss Helen Varick Boswell, chairman of
the woman's Republican Association of
New York, Is making her annual visit to
Washington, which she always so arranges
as 10 be here when Congress convenes.
Chatting with friends ut the Raleigh last
night Miss Boswell spoke OF her recent
visit to Ma jor and Mrs. Mckinley at their
7 Canton home and OF the cordial hospitality
with which they entertained her. She W aa
particularly impressed with the personal
ma sneIism OF both the President-elect ard
his wife, and with their happy faculty
OF appearing to concentrate their undivided
interest upon the guest of the time.
In response to an inquiry as to the re-
ported invalidisIn of Mrs. Mckinley, Miss
roswell VINO is iarseir IL type OF petite, yet
strong pretty and vigorous womanhood,
replied:
.rnat is altogether a mistake. Mrs. Me
Kin!ey is just as capable, physically, as
would be. of fulfilling her executive re-
sponsibiiit.es, and think there is n o doubt
but that she will be equal to every official
and social duty that her position may de-
mand''
Miss Boswell Is also an enthusiastic ad-
mirer Of Mrs. Marx Hanna. whom she CON
siders an ideal type OF true American wo-
manhood. Regaily handsome and possessed
to Il brilliant degree OF the graces that fit
her for the distinguished position she will
ing administration. she Is also hclpfully
interested in every movement, spiritual
1nC PHI yscai, that tends to the betterment
OF the condition of -ler sex.
In referring 10 the work OF the Wo-
mans Republican Associate during the
late campaign Miss Boswell said that men
OF both parties had conceded the value OF
their partisanship, because OF their ability
To cover ground that heretofore politicians
have been unable to reach.
Miss Boswell was appointed to her present
office hy the State Republican Committee
OF New York. There are Inaly clubs and
auXiliaries To the State organization, OF
which she Is chairman, and though the
national contest is over, its political work
will not cease.
During the winter Miss Boswell will be
interested i'll State and municipal iegisla-
ton, and in her official capacity viii do

York; to RepuhliCaniNn.
