UNTRUTHFUL CLOCKS.

When I am travelling I never put the
slightest confidence in a household clock.
A hotel clock l can depend upon. There
are too many watches In hotel-good
watches, watches whose absolute cor
rectness means money to the CONNER
cial man who regulates the travelling life
of this country. A lying clock would
be spotted in a quarter of second, and
the unhappy clerk scourged with pitiless
sarcasm therefor In the course of my
wanderngs up and down this part Of the
globe I missed a few trains and lecture
engagements by depending upon clocks
in the homes of my friends.
Having thus paid for my lesson-ffteen
or twenty thousand dollars, L think-by
my own computation of the value of my
lectures (set ahead a little bit. you know,
it may be a tri1e fast; l haven't time
to look up the exact figures), l withdrew
all my trust for mantel clocks, espe
cially the highly ornamented marble-and-
gilt variety with silver bells or cathedral
chimes-Robert ]. Burdette in the La
