The monastery bell began to peal

HAS Tucked FIVE CENTURIES
Famous Old Clock in Rouen Has Kept
Time for 51O Years.

Famous OLO CLOCK In ROuen Has Kept
Time for go Years.
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER:
Rouen, one of the principal cities of
France, and the greatest seat of it's
cotton manufacture, possesses the old
est public clocks in the world. The
great Rouen clock has held it's place
in that city for $40 years and is the
pride of it's citizens. Placed in 1889.
1t has been running without Interrupt
ton from that day to this, requiring
nothing except cleaning and a few
trifing repairs of it's accessory parts.
The great clock has so accustomed
the citizens to look upon it's exacti-
tude as a matter of course that when.
in 1872, the breaking of a wire pre-
vent its sounding 5 o'clock morn
ing, the population was in a state of
CONSERVATION. The magistrates sum
moned the observation-disclosures Pc
tlt-and demonstrated gravely with
him. Until 1912 the great clock had
no pendulum. For 1923 years it had
no other regulator than a ~"foliot," an
apparatus unknown to the majority of
modern clock makers. The pendulum
in clock work was introduced in 1859,
but so we'll satisfied were the people
of Rouen with the time keeping quail
tiles of their famous old clock that
ffty-three years were allowed to pass
before a pendulum was substituted for
the "foliot." Equipped with this new
apparatus it has continued to this day
to strike the hours and chime the
quarters.

Stronger Than Steel.

1t Is difficult to realize that so fra
gile looking a. concern as a spiders
web is proportionately of the
strongest things in existence. The Or
binary spiders thread would support
without breaking a weight of three
grains. Now a bar of steel one inch
in diameter will sustain fifty tons. If
you take the diameter of a spiders
thread, and calculate what weight the
same thread an inch in diameter
would support, the conclusion arrived
ut is no less than seventy-four tons,
which means that the strength of the
seemingly feeble thread is, as near as
possible, as much as one and a half
times that of the steel.

IN CLUBHOUSE
Made to Order for a Man Who Was
Separated from His wife.

A1OnA HIS WIG
In the Kinloch club, at ST. Louis,
there is a stained glass window with
an odd history, says the st. Louis Re-
public. 1t is no an ordinary window,
with its parts Joined by frames of lead,
but is OF the finest kind of colored ca

Woman She is in the costume of a
dancer, and her skirts fall but little be-
low the knees. The figure is perfect in
it's proportions, and the face is one Of
surprising beauty. When the club
house was finished the art committee
looked around for something unique in
the way of decoration. They found it
IN Chicago, where they had gone ex-
ploring. Entering the art store they
told the dealer they wanted to see the
choicest thing he had. The dealer re-
piled that he had a beautiful colored
window panel, which was left on his
hands through a peculiar chain of
circumstances. A rich Chicagoan had,
Immediately after marrying. decided
that as a part of the decoration of his
new home he would have a window in
which the face and form of his wife
would appear. He got together the
necessary photographs in appropriate
costumes and brought them to the

wanted naught but the best, and was
not content to have the picture painted
or burnt into the glass. He wanted
the work done in the actual colored
glass. The dealer was obliged to send
the photographs and an extended ex-

took months for it's completion. and

Spiritualists had a jolly picnic at
Braintree, Mass, with baseball, wheel

wholesome outdoor sports, with not a

Ellis took refuge behind a tree and
shot two of the bandits dead. He was
in a position that promised to cause
the outlaws trouble. They could not
shoot him and could not leave their
refuge without his shooting them.
Finally, Curly Wilson, a big, strap
ping fellow, picked up one of the stable
men whom the bandits had bound and
laid in the trough of the stable, and
holding him in front of him with n
hand, made the fellow a human shield,
and with the other he proceeded to
operate a six-shooter. Thus equipped
he marched straight toward Wade's
hiding place. There was nothing for
Ellis to do but either, kill the helpless
man or run, and he an. Then the
outlaws proceeded to take the money.
1t was in bars of $12, 800. They placed
the treasure in a two-horse wagon and
started overland toward the Missouri
river. The wagon was traced to the
river near Niobrara, Neb. AS an evil
dence of the furious rate of speed the
team was being driven at, a number
of bars of gold-three in all-were
picked up along the route, which had
Jolted out of the wagon. This was all
ever secured. of the stolen money.
Wilson and Carey were never cap-
tured, and lived to spend the money.
The two outlaws mutilated the faces
of their two dead companions by cut
ting them with knives so that the
authorities would not be able to iden-
tify them and thus connect the band
with the robbery. The dead bodies
were left as they had fallen at the
Buffalo Gap station. This was the last
time tbs Deadwood treasure coach was
held up.

A Cultured Monarch,

King Oscar II, king of Norway
and Sweden, is one of the most cultur-
ed men in Europe. He is remarkable
in literature, his works comprising
musical compositions, verse, fiction,
and many volumes on technical sub
jects, and he has also translated into
Swedish Gothe's Faust, which alone
is a very great undertaking. He is a
fine speaker, and in his youth had
such a remarkably fine and we'll train
ed voice that it was considered one of
his greatest gifts. The king, though
now an old man, has q splendid pres
ence, and in manner is simple and I'M
affected. He spends many months of
the year at Tullgarn, his grand old
castle on the edge of the cliffs over
hanging the sea, and one of his great
est pleasures is drilling his little
grandsons.

About 1880 Capt. Oberlin M. Carter
was put in charge of the harbor work
at Savannah, Ga, where extensive i'm
provements were projected. In 1896
Carter was relieved and sem to Lon
don as military attache of the Ameri-
can legation. His successor at Sa-
vannah discovered and exposed cor
rupt practices on the part of Carter by
which the United States government
had been defrauded of about So, 200, 900.
Carter was recalled from London, tried
by court-martial and found guilty on
every charge. The trial court was
made up of military officers of high
character. The finding was that Car
ter should be dismissed from the army,
pay a fine of $40, 900 and undergo a
term of Imprisonment, and he will be
made to serve it, too.
