$40 CLOCKS THERE

A wASHINGTONIAN who travelled
N in Alsace during the past summer
relates that one day he came by
chance TO the little village of Kirchberg.
AS he approached the church he glanced
up to see the time of day. but there
was no clock to be seen. So he went
to the village inn and asked the time.
but the landlord had no clock or time
piece OF any kind. You see.' he said,
I'VE have no use for clocks. In the
morning we go by the smoke rising
from the chimney ac the parsonage up
on the hill. The parsonage people are
very regular. We dine when dinner is
ready. At p. m the whistle OF the
train coming from Massmunster tells MS
that the time has come for another
meal. and at night we know that 1t is
time TO go TO bed when IL is dark. on
Sundays we go TO church when the bell

RARDLUCK, SURE

IN URING the debate on the State
hood bill pending in the last Con-
- gress there came 10 members Of
both houses many inquiries from points
in the interested Territories asking inv
formation as to the prospect of the bill
becoming a law, says the Saturday
Evening Post.
One anxious inquirer was a woman
living in Oklahoma. She would write
or telegraph nearly every day Appar-
entity the stereotyped reply she received
from the Delegate from her Territory
did not satisfy her. for pretty soon she
appeared in person and began to haunt
the Capitol. Her solicitude finally
aroused the curiosity of the Delegate.

The lady hesitated. Must temp she

WOMEN M POLAND

y OLISH women are renowned for
their beauty, for the perfection
of their hands and the smaIlness
Of their feet. They place the fineness
of the hands above all other charms.
Il regard my hands, not my face,
said one, and il is reported in Warsaw
that the Vienna shoe dealers keep a
separate case of shoes for the delicate
feet Of their Polish customers. Polish
ladies maintain that when they shop In
Vienna and show their small feet with
the high insteD to be fitted, the trades
men exclaim: "Ah, those are Polish
feet" But their pleasure in this dis
tinction is not so much a matter Of per-
sonal vanity as of satisfaction in the
superiority Of anything belonging TO
their country. For they are fervidly
patriotic. They adore their country and
hate her tyrant, Russia The lady or
position rises between II and II In fore
noon. and goes 10 bed at o'clock the
next morning. She drives from one visit
TO another. but in reality she Is labor
ing all day for public interests. Every

saws George Brandes. without taking
some measure. under that innocent pre-.
text. for the national benefit. As a con-
sequence of this charm and spirit, the
women of Poland receive from the men
a courtesy amounting TO homage The
greatest consideration for them is a
commonplace OF daily life. Men always
rise In a tram car to give lady a seat.

 The little Quaixeress froze to statue while Trask worked away as if for his life. He had shifted his position so that he faced the two girls. Lucy Ann was looking away from him, but 1t eemed to me that Miss Jones was studying him closely every moment and not for the-sake of art.
 Somehow she seemed to me then a higher type of woman. There was an earnestness in her face that had not seen before, and it became her. Be yond question she was the most beau tiful creature that I had ever beheld, and the idea that Trask could pay his court to her for any other cause than her own obvious attractions fell away from my mind. The thing simply would not permit itself to be thought of in her presence. ...
 Trask finished his sketch with en- thusiasm, and Miss Jones and were permitted to see it as he was adding the last strokes. It was a remarkable study, very pleasing to the eye, but not a portrait. Miss Jones viewed it and expressed her appreciation in technical terms. And last of all It was exhibit ed to Lucy Ann, who seemed to be startled by this delicious fattery. She glanced quickly at Trask and her cheeks flushed.
 '1t doesn't look like me-" she said. 'I wish it did.''
 Trask took the sheet into his hands and slowly tore 1t into strips while Lucy Ann gazed up at him in a way which, I grieve to say, reminded me slightly of 8 hungry little dog watching his master eat up the last scrap of the dinner.
 ''The thing was 8 total failure" he said. ''I don't know why. It seemed all right while was doing it. Did you want it, Lucy Ann?''
 He had glanced down into her eyes.
 'tYes,'' said she simply, and my hand ttched for grip of the fellows collar.
 How many have you already?" he asked, with laugh.
 "A few" said Lucy Ann. '.
 "I'l make you a better one," said he, ''better than any of them, a really good one. You-just-waft." ~.
 He spoke the last words slowly and shook his finger at her.
 '1 don't want one that looks like me- ,'' said she. T want one just like that"
 She pointed downward at the white fragments on the grass. So 1t pleased the little girl to be idealized by this particular artist. ..-.

A REBUkE FOR DOWlE.

Zionist Leaders Father Says 1z
 Sons Mind Must Be Unsound.
 John Murray Dowie, father of John Alexander Dowie, according to dis patch from Essex, Ia., says that the Zionist founder is of unsound mind.
 T have decided to make answer to him,'' said the old man. "He is my son, born in wedlock. I was married following May. His mother was a good wife to me-"
 Here the old mans voice grew ten der, and his eyes filled with tears.
 T took the boy in my arms and had him christened in Edinburgh. Lac. knowledged him as my son, and this, by the law of Scotland, legitimizes child. I owned him before the world as my boy and the woman as my wife.
 "Any one who knows the Dowies can see that John Alexander is one of them. I have been mistaken for my son many times. His mother was a widow when married her. After her death I gave the certificate of her first marriage and the one recording my. own marriage to my son. He has them now unless he has destroyed them, and If they are destroyed the records may be found in Edinburgh. There is no truth in the army officers story, I am certain he is of unsound mind to give out such myth.
 "He has got into the habit of scold ing. He scolds the whole world. He scolds me. He is great egotist. Oh, if I had only been in New York to coun- sel him to be quiet! He antagonized the people there. Pour soul! Poor soul! But his failure to do much in New York does not mean that he has come to the end. John Alexander Dowie is too mell intrenched behind his defenses to be pulled down that way. Thenews- papers are maddening him.
 He was raised with his younger brother Andrew, now in Australia. When he took up this faith healing business in Australia, l warned him to desist. While he was in college l sent him fS every month. Doesn't that look as though he were my son? He did not treat me coldly when I came to Chicago. He met me as a son would meet his father. He introduced me as his father before Zion. It was only when I refused to accept his doctrines that he turned against me. He is now only a Oalvinist, with q lot of faith healing egotism and newfangled ideas grafted on."

 He walked away toward Ehe gate.
 "who is the lady, if it's permissible to inquireR'' said Derrtngsr.
 ''PernnassfbIe2' echoed scovea. ''Why not7 We're getting into such a a1uss of mystery out here that we cEasa't do anything. To the best of my knowl- edge and belief, she is Miss Jones, who is living In St. JO and comes out here for art lessons. I have heard that her father or guardian or somebody has lot of money, but cannot testify on that point. Speaking as disin- terested observer-if any man can be 1isinteressted in the presence of such stunning girl as Miss Jones-I would say that there Is 8 sentimental attach ment between Trask and the young lady, and that there's some sort of ep- position, don't know what"
 Here's hoping that it will all end happily" said Derringer. "I like Trask very much, though hang nae if under stand him"
 That was precisely my position. After what had heard and seen, was almost ready to believe that his heart was really set upon Lucy Ann Wither- spoon, whose "father or guardian or somebody did not have 8 lot of money, In that case was doubly sorry for Lucy Ann, since she missed her happi- ness by a narrower margin, but I did not see what could do about 1t, un- less I should precip4tate myself into the struggle and win the pretty Miss Jones for my own, thus leaving Trask free to follow his hearts beckening.
