Auputthe FOuI.tb,

There is lot of sentiment in a good
many men and good deal of it i'll lots
of men. For instance, almost every
man in Cumberland thinks he is hand
some, or that there is something about
him striking or distinguished-lOokin
something that impresSes his fellows and
mashes the women.
AS rule, he is not far wrong.
But in Frostburg, where good health
answers to the general conditions of
pure air and good water, quite all-the
young men especially, are athletes with
athletic impulses. Mt. Savage, Mid
land, Homecoming and Barton, nearly up
to the same gold standard, are still short
of the real thing.
Again-away far to the north of the
one the cold makes men small and low
of stature, and away to the south of the
others the heat makes men thin.
But in FrOstburg, as intimated, Ma
ture has set up an environment for the
sons of men and daughters of women
which makes the town not only the
climax of climatic prophylaxis, but the
pre- eminent metropolis of patriotic
galumptiousneSs.

find it to-day. The comment OF one recent
critic upon much quoted passage in the poem,
that it would be hard to beat for n plautude

redundancy and nervcless grammar, may
sound harsh but it is not unjust. The probable

A reader of the recent British "Blue-Book"
concerning the Martinique disaster has been
very much impressed by the literary force
achieved by a writer represented in the volume
by a narrative of the steamer Roddam's escape
from the avalanche of lava poured into the har-
Dor This writer seems to have realized that
his matter was so terrific that any attempt at
literary establishment would ring false Not
being a literary man, he saw that the state
mcnt of bare facts all that needed,
and the result is that his words are truly vivid
and suggestive. There is nothing surprising
about this circumstance. 1t is old story
that the best writers are often the men with
the least literary experience The man of ac-
ton is VIGOROUSLY able, in nine cases out of
ten, TO describe an event, n journey, or some
intricate negotiation with infinitely more
truth and often with more of the charm of sim
plicity than would find in a description of
the same thing written by trained man of
letters. 1t is an old story, but it enforces a
moral that is fresh The man of action
writes well not because he is a man of action.
but because his object is simply to say what he
has TO say, and not to make an effect

relieve himself by handing the clock one.
The clock is quite handy for purposes of
maledicton, invective and general cussing,
and as it is public property, anybody may
cuss it.
Trustees Do the Act.
The big clock cost $500, and it occupies
box like cupboard i'll the clock turret
where the dials are under the belfry. 1t
takes two husky men to wind up the bell,
which is done with windlass in just the
same way a bucket IS brought to the sur
face in a shaft, and by the time they are
through the beads of sweat are dropping
from their brows and their breath is COM
ing fast.
The business OF winding the clock is en-
trusted to the sheriff, and TRUSTEES from
the Jail, under the supervision of the jailer,
perform the labor. A short coored man
and white wanderer wound it up the
other morning while the writer was present,
and there is no question of the athletic
exercise in the feat.
1t took fully five minutes to do the wind
ing and that is because of the length of
the rope that must be coied around the
rope drum. The works of the clock sit on
a frame inside the cupboard, which is big
enough for man to stand upright in, and
is closed with doors. The fame is like the
frame of a grindstone.
There are several cogwheels and two
rope drums. The bell rope is wound around
one drum and the clock rope around the
other. The ropes are about quarter of an
inch thick and are of wire. There are two
small shafts in the building, and the ropes
pass down them to the basement as the
clock and the bell run down, the loose end
Of each cable having weight on it.
Winding Is Heavy Work.
The reason it is such heavy work to wind
the bell rope is on account of the heavy
weight OH the end of the cable and the
length of the rope, The clock rope is
lighter and easier to wind The handle Of
the wndlasses lies on the floor Of the cup
board when out of use, and it is slipped on
the end of the axis OF drum when the
rope is to be wound up.
The pendulum of the big clock is about
eight feet long The clock is quite curl
osity, and is fine example of the mcchan-
ical ingenuity of man. But the jail TRUSTEES
say it is behind the times or il would have
a self-winding attachment.
