Senator Scott's Watch.

Senator Scott's Watch.
Senator Scott has the most accurate
watch that has ever been tested by Mr..
Jones. the Weather Bureau man of the
Senate. Mr.. Jones says that it is un-
doubtedly the best timekeeper in Wash
ington. and Ahe has ample opportunity
to examine the finest of them. Senator
Scott's watch did not vary second from
absolutely accurate time from February
to March a. 1t was examined every
morning during the month, and the sec
ond hand every morning came up to fin
ish the minute on the stroke with the
official chronometer of the Weather Bu
reau. c
On March 4 Senator Scott gave the
timepiece to his small grandchild, who
Immediately dropped it and cracked the
crystal Later it was found that it had
been slightly iarred. and II was three
and one-half seconds slow the next morn
ing, and on the day after two and one
half eeconds. The watch was repaired
and for the past three days has kept per-
feet time.
Senator Scott values his watch highly
II has bigh-priced foreign movement,
but its chief value to him is in the way
that it came into his possession. When
he was Internal Revenue Commissioner
under President Harrison, and preparing
to give up the position, the clerks of his
bureau united in presenting the watch to
him as a testimonial of their esteem. He
was as popular with the Treasury De-
partment attaches as he is in the Senate.

all for the accommodation of a single

journeys up the Kaskaskia River but once

THE company had no idea that in con-
structing its bridge across that water
course it was providing a hindrance to
navigation but here is where the railroad
people found out something to their sor
row. The Government stepped in through

crowding into the open and perhaps finding out
the substantial nature of the performers Ordinarily
the proceeding follows: The Davenports were
securely bound in chairs by members of the audience
and in front of them placed table The lights
were extinguished, and in short time turned
again. when the table was found to have been moved
its former position to place directly in front of
the circle the Davenports remaining bound before.
Now it happened on the occasion to which 1 refer
that member of the circle reached out his hand at
critical in the performance and grabbed hold
of form which he discerned carrying the table. 1t
was tcklsh moment for Da, export, but, quick
flash he wrenched himself free of his garment, which
he left in the hands of his woud-be captor made his
way back to his chair, frightened the as before
and when the lights turned on there he sat
quietly confronting his who held up the coat
evidence. Well, what the result? Davenport
informed the audience that, not only had the spirits
moved the table, but that they had taken off his coat
In doing So and that the who had secured the
garment had thus taken it from the mischicvous
spirit. After that a coat trick became a regular fea-
of the performance. The light extinguished
and when turned up suddenly, there sat Davenport in
his shrtseeves securely tied apparently while coat
was seen flying up toward the ceiling. OF the
whole mystery lay in the simple expedient of slack
knots, which give man, on close examination,
every appearance of being securely bound whcn in
reality he is, all intents and purposes, perfectly
free.
