MADE MONEY EASILY.
A Draft on the Sultan That Was Unex-
pectedly Honored.

A Draft on the Sultan That Was Unex-
pectedly Honored.
A certain speculator had need of a
large sum Of money for his operations,
and found himself with a very small
balance in the bank. lie consulted a
friend as to how he could get over the
emergency. The friend suggested that
he should draw on somebody in an
other city. The operator said he knew
no one that owed him, and the friend
insisted that that would make no diff
ference if the draft did not return too
soon.
The operator reflected a time and
then wrote out draft on the sultan
Of Turkey for 92, 900 and deposited it
in the bank. The draft came into the
hands of the Rothschilds, who for
warded it to Constantinople, and it
was duly presented to the sultan's
chamberlain.
"Who is this MANI" asked the
chamberlain Of the sultan's treasurer.
Don't know him." replied the
treasurer.
do we owe him anything" asked
the chamberlain.
'No," replied the other
"Then do not pay it," decided the
chamberlain.
"But if / might advise" said the
crafty treasurer, "this draft comes
through the Rothschilds, with whom
we are negotiating loan Would it
be safe, under the circumstances, to
dishonor it?"
'Pay it," said the sultan's chamber
lain, and so the SPECTATOR was $4,000
richer that he knew, to his own great
astonishment.-W Weekly Telegraph,

WANTED THE COUPON.
Lady Who Had Purchased Ten Cents
Worth of Postage Stamps.

Many of Manchester's merchants
are giving trading coupons to the
amount of ten cents or more, which
possess a value when one has acquired
certain number. The merchant, of
course, has to pay for the coupons,
and they are given out as a matter Of
advertising. A most amusing incl
dent occurred Saturday evening in
a store on Elm street, not a thousand
miles from the Weston & Fits block.
A lady walked into the store and
asked for five 2-cent stamps. 1t took
all there was in the store, but the pro-
prietor wished to please the lady. She
took the stamps, handed the proprie-
tor ten cents, thanked him and
waited.
"ls there something else, madam"
queried the proprietor.
ooh, no. replied the lady, "that is,
nothing that | wish to buy" And
still she waited
"You gave me the correct change
for the stamps, did you not, MADAME"
asked the proprietor, noticing she still
lingered
eyes, sir" replied the lady.
"And you are sure there's nothing
else You wantedY"
"Well, ! noticed that you gave trad
ing coupons here, and, as have
bought ten cents worth of stamps, /
am waiting for coupon"
The proprietor is slowly recovering.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Westminster Timekeeper vancs Only a
Second Per week.

| WeetDln5teI Aimthccpci NdiAto OhAy
Second Per Week.
The great Westminster clock is said
by experts to be the best tower clock
in existence, says the Philadelphia,
Ledger. The astronomer royalin 1914
laid down the condition for the West
minister clock that it should not vary
more than a second day, and the
best clockmakcr in I.ondon-would not
attempt TO construct it under those
terms. The result of long dispute
between the astronomer royal, the
architect, the government, the house
of parliament and the clockmakers Of
London, which ended, in 1854, in the
employment of the late f.. j. Dent and
his successor, i. Dent, who built the
clock under the designs and superin-
tendence Of the astronomer royal, Ed
mund Dennison, afterward Sir +.
Beckett and now Lord Grimthorpe.
The clock was placed in the tower in
1859, and has been running continu-
ousuly and satisfactorily ever since.
1t was unfavorably criticised and COM
pared by some Of the old-style clock
makers to a mangle, because of its
length and apparent rough construc-
ton. It's success, however, revolu-
tionized that branch of the trade.
The great change consisted of the in
PRODUCTION Of a gravity escapement
in place of what is known as dead
escapement. The weight required
to run it is 100 pounds, OF which nine
tenths is required to overcome the
friction.
The hands are II feet in length and
the minute hand is countcrbalanced
50 as to make its total length 14feet.
More trouble is likely to arise from the
length Of the hands than from any
other part Of the apparatus. Sup
ported only at one point (on the ar
bor) the wind gets strong leverage
and tends to loosen them and even
change the movement Of The clock.
Snow and ice lodging on the hands
during the sleet storms also act to re-
tard the movement during the last
half of an hour and accelerate it dur
ing the first half. The minute hand
Of the Westminster clock is made as
light as possible Of two copper tubes
put together, and weighs % pounds
There is but one clock in the world
with larger dial, and that is in the
Mechlin church, and is 40 feet in
diameter. 1t has no minute hand,
however, and the entire mechanism
is, therefore, much simplifed
The Westminster clock reports it.
self twice day, by an electrical APP
pliance, to the Greenwich observa-
tory. Its rate is recorded and the re-
suits are published in the annual re-
port of the astronomer royal. From
this record it appears that the average
rate of variation Of the clock is less
than a second a week. 1t is subject
to abnormal disturbances from thun-
derstorms, which sometimes amount
to seven or eight seconds, but these
variations are easily distinguished
The cost Of this remarkable clock was
about $40, 900; the chimeo Of bells near
ly $4,000. The bell frame, which is
of wrought iron plates, and the dials
and hands provided by the architect,
cost $4,000. The height of the clock
above the pavement is 175 feet. 1t is
a curious circumstance that the Access
series of the clock cost more than four
times as much as the clock itself.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

The less a woman has to confde the
more she insists on doing it.
A girl can make more kinds of a
fool of herself than young poll par
rot.
When the bachelor maid runs up
against the bachelor man she doesn't
put on SO many airs.
After the honeymoon is over the
man generally has all the bashfulness
in the family.
The velvet on the peach may be
pretty to look at but it sets your teeth
on edge to touch it.
No matter how sweet woman can
appear at S o'clock tea, her husband
could generally makeyou guess again.
Before girl gets married she never
thinks man has such thing as a
stomach After she's been married
awhile she wonders if he's got any
thing else New York Press.

spent Saturday and Sunday with rela.
tives in Hagerstown.
The Sabbath school OF this place met
on Xmas day to get their treat. Old
Santa Claus came, but he had visited
too many places before he reached us
and couldonly treat thesm scholars;
but we think the sight and fun which
was caused at his expense pleased the
large ones better than candy.
Mr.. Samuel Sellers, from near your
city, was in our midst Sunday.
Sunday school closed at this place
last Sunday for the winter quarter. 1t
will open the first Sunday in April.
Preaching at this place Sunday at
7 p. m. by Rev. Busey. c. ED.
