A Wonderful Clock.

In the possession of Mrs. R. D
MunsOn of Williston is a clock that
is a marvel of ingenuity. 1t was con.
structed about thirty-five years ago
by her husband, Russell d. Munson
a very ingenious man. Upon the
face of the clock are several small
dials which tell the year, month,
week and day. 1t runs nine days
with but one winding and six hours
before the expiration of that time a
bell will ring. In the base of the
clock a music box is located that
plays a tune at the end of each hour
a different tune for each dav of the
week. Sunday it plays "Old Hun
dred;" Monday, "Old Folks at
Home" Tuesday, "Swiss Waltz
Wednesday, "The Star Spanged
Banner Thursday, Hail Column
bia;" Friday, Yankee Doodle;;" and
Saturday, "Home Sweet Home" Ia
the ball of the pendulum is a small
chronometer which keeps excellent
time and never requires winding as
its motive force is derived from the
oscillations of the pendulum Mr..
MunsOn at one time patented a
wagon wheel hub and a stump puler,
neither of which, however, were a
success. He exhibited the clock for
several years around at county fairs,
etc, and many people saw the curl.

DR.. ]. A. Robinson, who has prac-
ticed dentistry here for several years,
will soon be found over j. M. Joslyn's
store on Portland street, opposite
the corner brick block. Since vaca-
ting rooms over the post-office the
Doctor has had a pleasant office on
the second floor at his home, but
wishing to place himself more con-
veniently within the reach of the
public, he had engaged rooms in the
brick block and had rented his second
floor at home. Being disappointed
at the last moment in his expected
office in the brick block, and with a
family moving into his home office,
he was in something of a "pickle. :"
He fixes up and makes a pleasant
office over Joslyn's. point centrally
located and easily in reach of all,
which he will occupy until an oppor-
tunity for more commodious rooms
is presented. The rooms when re-
paired will be very pleasant. In the
meantime he is in shape for continu-
ing business at his home.

The Minstrel Concert.

Flattery will not have a part in the
story if we say that no entertain
ments by home talent have out
stripped in successful issue and popu-
larity, the concerts given on Friday
and Saturday evenings of last week.
The stage setting in pure white,
forming striking contrast to the
numerous burned cork artists, who
gathered in regulation minstrel form
on the stage, was attractive, cool
and airy in appearance. The make
ups were elaborate and appropriate
to such an occasion.
Morrisville singers are too well
known to speak lengthily of. The
several quartets, trios and solos were
all finely rendered, with the usual
accomplished pianist The chorus
too, was very good, the specialties
first-class, the jokes quite fresh and
devoid of chestnutty flavor, while
the special work of the two end men
was up to the very latest and best in
that line.
To particularize is to go through
the program and mention each indi
vidual member, the encores and all
from which we refrain. All the PEG
pie composing the two large audi
ences were more than pleased anC
quick in the verdict rendered, in effect
that the concerts willgo on record as
the most taking" entertainments
that Morrisville has seen or will SEE
in many a day.

How 1t Works In Mexico.


Mexico is on a purely silver basis.
And the advocates of the silver pol
icy for this country are very fond of
pointing to that country and Japan
as examples of prosperity under the
silver standard. Business is active
in these countries and labor receives
fairly steady employment, But while
our silver friends are pointing to the
industry that prevails in those coun-
tries, they are very careful to avoid
the comparison of wages. 1t is little
wonder that business thrives when
the wages are so low. In Japan the
wages of the cotton operative is from
fourteen to twenty-five cents a day,
and in Mexico the operative receives
just about one-half of the wages paid
in this country. The following are
the rates paid by our neighbors
to the South:-Hod carriers, per
week, $3.50; common laborers, 81
90; street car drivers, So; printers,
1915. The same holds true of
Japan, that other Eldorado of free
silverites.
Moreover, in this connection it is
well to note that the purchasing
power of silver in these countries is
much less than that of gold. A hard
money delegate from Texas at the
Chicago convention is reported to
have voted for gold because he didn't
want the United States to become a
country like the foreign country
nearest Texas, where -four costs
twenty-one dollars a barrel and
labor is paid quarter of dollar a
day.
Cotton cloth, which can be pur-
chased here for five cents a yard,
costs in Mexico thirteen cents yard.
1t is a fact that cannot be contro-
verified with success that it requires
eight hours labor in Mexico to buy
one hours work in this country.
Business may prosper under free
silver, but how is it with the poor
workingman? Does he wish to run
his chances of pulling down our pres
emit standard and adopt one in Mex
leo, and thereby be compelled to take
up with Mexican wages and standard
of living? This is what free coinage
means, when stripped of it's glamor.

The new "No Names" who ale new
and yet old 10 name, came back to
their native heath feeling uncom-
monly old and with a perceptably
tired feeling, last Thursday night.
You see they toolishly agreed to go
up into that same old sugar bush in
Danville where previous defeat had
been measured out, and play at ball,
making the same desperate efforts to
find clearing among the trees to
drive a ball through with bat, or
throw through to base, without
knocking out two or three birds
nests. They couldn't do it, but the
Danvilles, who are acclimated and
very much accustomed to their
ball ground, thickly studded and
shaded with naples, had the best
fit, combed down our enthusiastic
base ballists to the tune of, not"16
to /" but $50 to a." That's tuff.
SECOND.
1t was an interested and enthu-
siastic audience that had meandered
up onto the old fair grounds east of
Maple street and were found stand
ing and sitting in groups when the
ball game between the old and the
new No Names was started on it's
way last Friday afternoon En-
thusiasm and lung power rapidly
developed as the game progressed,
and it was quite evident that
the veteran players, many of
whom have hardly caught sight OF
ball in six or eight years, had the
sympathy of large majority of the
lockers on. With years having
elapsed since they have played, and
with no practice to get into running
order, the old fellows put up re-
markable good game and the young
fellows, who are "up to snuff in the
new antics of the national game,
played ball right along all through
the game.
"Poley" st. Louis caught the full
game on one side and Frank Jack
son the other. Gle and Tillotson
were in the pitchers box for the old
'uns and Holbrook and Cowles for
the others. 1t was a remarkable
game in some respects and the crowd
howled themselves hoarse. Evidences
of the rattling or inspiring work Of
the demonstrative crowd is plain in
the last turn at the bat in each team
This is the way it went.

puyAN REVISING THE ninLn.

Philadelphia Press: II MIR. bryan will
only look up Dcmctrius. to whom he al.
luded in his Tivoli speech, he will find that
he was a silvorsmith, an original silver man.
who by his silver had much gain" In
fact, he represented as nearly as possible
the present silver mine owner who leads
people away from the true way in order to
make a profit.
New York Tribune: Brother Bryan got
badly mixed the other day when he attrih-
uted the famous prayer Of Agur. the son of
Jakeh. about poverty and riches. to solomon.
and that experience should have taught him
the need Of caution In making references to
the bible. In his speech on Saturday he
told the people Of Duchess county that 1t
was Demetrius. the silyersmith, who cried
Great is Diana Of the Ephesians!' Now.
according to the narrative given in the nine
teenth chapter of the book Of Acts. Demc-
trtus called "the craftsmen" together, with
the workmen of like occupation" and told
them about the damage Paul was causing to
their business, and when they heard these
sayings they were full OF wrath, and cried
out, saying, Great is Diana Of the
Ephesians.'" Perhaps Brother Bryan has a
specially revised version in his possession.
Springfield (Mass) Republican: MIR. Bryan
really owes 1t to himself to acquire a little
more practical familiarity with the scriptures
or else to have his speeches revised by some
biblical expert who can prunc out such un-
fortunate illusions as that which crcpt into
MS Maualll, N. Y, speech saturday. lie
said: IF you remember. the good book
states that some 1,SO0 years ago a man named
Demetrius complained of the preaching Of
the gospel, because 1t Interrupted his bust
ness. He did not go out and say to the
world: 'Our business is being injured ana
we are mad What did he say? He said:
Great is Diana of the Ephesians.' ZAP
plause.) We have some today who are very
much like Demetrius. They know that the
restoration of bimetallism destroys the bust
ness in which they have been engaged.
But when they make public speeches they
do not say that the democratic party is
wrong because it interferes with their bust
ness. What do they say? They say: Great
is sound money. Great is an honest dollar.
(Applause) The distressing feature of this
unlucky reference is that Demetrius, as
everybody knows, was a silyersmith'-
"Demctrios gar tbs onomati argurokopos."
And the primary meaning of argurokopos
seems to have been not ''silversmith," but
"coiner of silver" So. perhaps. the less
said about Demetrius the better, Mr.. Bryan.
