Is Your Clock Rinht?

"One of the things | have learned
in the course of my experience" said
the middleaged man, sis that people
don't like to have you ask. is your
clock right?" This is a question that
we put to a great many people, and
it is more or less annoying to most
of them. l have seen men resent it
with a stare, though that would be
something unusual; but as a rule,
most men think well of their clocks,
and they resent the question more
or less in their heart if they don't in
word or manner.
Doesn't every man think his own
watch is a good timekeeper? He
does. 1t may be a cheap watch that
cost SO, or S. or 81, but he thinks it's
a good one. All cheap watches are
better nowadays than they used to
be. but each man thinks he's got the
still remarkable exceptional watch
that really is a wonder. And the
clock owner thinks the same of his
clock. Whether it's in the jewelry
store, the bakery or the butchers,
they all resent the question. is your
clock right?'
"The question implies in some vague
indefinite way the idea of an assump-
tion of superiority on the part of the
questioner, for does it not suggest in.
feriority, at least on the part of the
other mans clock? and no man likes
1t. My conclusion is that nobody
should ask the question idly; not 81
all, in fact, unless something really
depends upon it. But If it s-ould bl
really a matter of Importance for yo,
to know, then you may ask and th
time you'll find the question will
be resented. IN. Y. Sun.

II it be true, as intimated by Mr..

is highly discreditable to the benefi-

secution of Mr.. Frank Monnett, is
earning $4,000. 900 per annum, accord

Carnegie steel trAst cleaned up $21,-
100000 in 1899. All the other trusts
and monopolies undoubtedly have
done correspondingly well. Yet they

ingratitude is bound to bring down
retribution, and the retribution will
come when Mr.. Hanna gets out his
