REMARKABLE OMAHA CLOCK.
Stops at Exact Moment Each of Two
Members Of Family Dies.

Omaha, March 31.-Doctor John F..
Hertzman, a physician who has lived
in this city for twenty-five years and
has held several minor public Offices,
died Saturday night, after an extended
illness.
Watchers at his bedside declare
that, at the moment he was declared
dead, by the attending physician, the
clock in the bed. chamber ceased to
TICK: THE fact has become known and
manyf curious neighbors have called to
see the phenomenon. The clock has
.heef permitted to stand at 500.
The curious incident is further en-
phasized by the fact that three years
ago the same clock also stopped at the
exact moment of the daughters death.
Another curious fact in connection
with Doctor Hertzman's death is told.
His age, according to Omaha time,
was forty-eight years. six hours and
and five minutes.
AS Doctor .Hertzman was born in
France, it is figured by the relatives
that he died almost at the moment, if
not at the exact moment, of the close
of his fortyseventh year, when the
difference in time between the two
points is considered.

Tommy and His Diary.

He was only little boy, and his ia.
ther had bought him n book in which
he could write each days doings. This
book, or diary, as it is called, was the
boys first, and he was very proud OF
it. for 1t had Il red cover and very
pretty picture upon the front.
Now, Tommy meant to begin his
book well and early, SO he carefully
wrote, "Got up at T." Then, according
as he had been told, he took it to his
teacher for her approval. The way she
opened her eyes made him feel very
uncomfortable, and he began to fear
some one had been tampering with his
records.
"Got up" she screamed, ''gOt up!
You naughty boy! Does the sun get
up? No; it rises"
Very neatly she scratched out the
words and made him write, Rose at
T." This settled Master Tom; no more
mistakes of this kind for him again.
So on retiring for the night he wrote,
with the air of man who knew his
business well, "Set at s."

The celebrated Dean Swift was new

days, upon the bounty of great pa

the recipient Of fayors and gifts that
the idea of his bestowing gifts upon
others never occurred to him.
Now, it chanced upon a certain occa-

ThereupOn the dean took up the fish
and, walking to the door, knocked mod

"Come in," said the boy.
He entered, went up to the chair and
bowed respectfully. "My master pre-
sents his compliments, sir" said the
dean in his softest tones, "and begs
your acceptance of this modest offer

The boy, entering into the spirit of
the play, received the fish with all the
courtliness Of the dean himself.

stopped, grasped both edges of the
plank with his hands and, throwing
his feet up, stood On his head, kicking
his legs In the air, cracking his heels
together and yelling to the terrified on

he let his feet drop down, stood up,
waved his hat and trotted along the

the ground.

In springtime the female green turtle
seeks the shore Of barren island or
the bank of lonely river to lay her
eggs. Being very shy, she makes a
landing at night cautiously and crawls
to a point above high water mark,
where she digs hole one or two feet
deep with her fippers. In this hole she
lays from 100 to 200 eggs, arranging
them very carefully. Finally she scoops
the loose sand over the eggs, leveling

Finely spraying with bordeaux for

The value of the broom corn crop
