MYSTERY OF NUMERAL NINE.
sacredneSs to It-SOme Curl
Gus Condolences.

Among the maeicians and sooth-
sayers OF ancient times both the fig
uIes nine and three had certain
amount of mystery and sacredness at
tsehed TO them, and volumes have
been written in explanation of their
meaning in connection with the his
tory of men and The world. Apropo.
OF this, curious coincidence is noted
in the fact that nearly all the great
mining discoveries of recent times
have been made in years ending with
the magic figure nine. Thus the fa-
nous gold find in California fell in the
year 1s49. Ten years later, in 1850,
remarkable discoveries Of the same
metal were made in British Columbia,
causing a great rush of fortune hunt

Weekly.
In 1869 the famous Comstocli lode
fnd became known to the world: in
1879 the gold-bearng region around
l.tadfille and Tombstone. 4. T.. began
to attract attention, and in 1889 the
diggings at Clover Creek and in lower
California became the objective points
of great multitudes of excited and
anxious seekers after sudden wealth.
And now again, at the end of another
decade, history repeats itself once
more. The remarkable gold finds re-

The Unt, Tn the Watch.

Superfiuous hirsute adornments are
unpopular with women, especially
when they take the form of incipient
mustaches. Men, as a rule, are not so
sensitive, but hairy individual, who
must have been lineal descendant OF
Esau, inasmuch as he actually had
whlskers growing out of his ears, had
a rather narrowing experience in a
fashionable Chestnut street jewelry
store. He wanted to buy a watch, the
best in the place, and a very elaborate
timepiece was shown to him by the
salesman. 1t WAS said to be an ex-
cellent timekeeper. I'VE have had II
in stock for quite awhile" explained
the salesman, "and can guarantee that
1t won't vary a fraction OF second.
We've never allowed it to run down"
The prospective purchaser. who look
ed like a prosperous mine owner from
the west had been examining the
works aud casually placed the watch to
his ear. Never run down, heyf" he
calculated. why. it's stopped now"
.That's very strange" said the sales
man.
The man again placed the watch to
his ear to make sure, and then the
truth became apparent. The hair which
protruded from his ear had intruded
into the works and stopped the delicate
mechanism. The salesman didn't like
TO explain matters, and his delicacy
cost him the sale of the watch.-Phila-

revenge is TO die on the premises. for It

is YOUR CLOCK ON TIME2
some Interesting observations Sag
gested by This FreQusntly Re-
Deated Query.

"One of the things have learned in
the course of my experience" said the
middle-aged man, according to the
New York Sun, lis that people don't
like to have you ask: is your c!oc9
rightp This is question that we put
10 great many people, and II is more
or less annoying TO most of them. l
have seen men resent it with start,
though that would be something un-
usual; but, as a rule, most mer think
well of their clocks, and they resent the
question more or less in their hearts If
they don't in word or manner.
Doesn't every man think his own
watch is a good timekeeper? He does.
II may be a cheap watch that cost ten
dollars or five dollars or one dollar, 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 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 other mans
clock ? and no man likes it, My eonclu-
sion is that nobody should ask the ques-
tion idly-not at all, in fact, unless
something really depends upon il. But
if it should be really matter of inn
portance for yon TO know, then you
may ask, and this time you'll find the
question will not be resented"

ed to visit Manitowoc during the early
part Of the month and look over the

serious obstacle that is likely to prevent
the location Of the plant here Is a pro-
hibitive price on real estate. 1t is not
yet known whether the necessary ground
contiguous to the Manitowoc Steam

realized in bringing this industry to
Manitowoc would be the opportunity OF
getting il located in close proximity to
the present Boiler Works, where the two
concerns could cooperate rs much as
possible A location at any considerable
distance would lose this advantage and
leave no object for Mr.. Sculleys concern

be one of great value to the city, and 1T
