said, because l am all shaken up
In ore respect he kept his word. He
cok his ''one or two drinks but just how

know. Three hours after he made the
pledge to keep sober he appeared at the
work house considerably under the infiu-
ence of Hquor, and insisted that he wanted
to pay the fine Of an old comrade who was
in trouble. The guards found il necessary
to hustle him down the steps or order him
away.

BLACK Maria called and Connor requested
the privilege of riding back to the city in

Judge Kimball in disposing of a case this
morning, involving a charge of fast riding
on bicycle, said he realized that the temp.

good one and must be enforced. Only two
grades of fines are imposed in these cases
the judge said. For riding at the rate OF
seventeen miles an hour. or at any less
rapid gate outside the lawful limit the
penalty is s., and a. greater speed incurs
the imposition of $40 fine.
Murray Cobb and Randall Hagner were
reported by Policeman Cats His charge
was that the men were having a little race
on 14th street about I o'clock yesterday.

WINDING AN OLD CLOCK.

Holmes, ''is seventy year clock. The Creator
winds it up once, when born. and then
delivers the key into the hands of the Angel of

Yes but they do not nIl seventy years. 1t
depends largely on how they treated. Take
the pendulum weight Oh the end of the wire
and your clock will rattle away at the rate Of
half dozen hours in one Neglect it and it will
run frregularly; fast. now slow. Break the
handspring or wheel and it stops instantly.
Take Intelligent of 1t, and good clock will
serve your grandchildren as faithfully as it now
serves you.
There Is an important difference, however, be-
tween your clock and your body. Even after the
clock is completely run down and at a stand
still you can wind it up and set it going again.
Not SO with the body. Once stopped 1t goes 10

For less cause than this many human clocks
