Set Clock Back to Catch Trade

A man walked into a drug store,
which stands on a busy corner the
other day, watch in hand. He ap-
preached h proprietor with that smile
which all men wear who find that in
some little detail they excel their fell
lows.
"Say, Doc" said the man, insinuat-
ingly, whats the matter with our
time? I've watched that clock in your
window for a week and it has been ten
minutes slow every day during that
period"
"Sh-h!" cautioned the drugstore
man; and like st. Nick, in THE Night
Before Christmas he laid his index
finger 'astride of his nose" MY boy,
that's only one Of the tricks of the
trade"
Il don't tumble" rejoined the other,
hopelessly.
"Well I didn't expect you would
smiled the pharmacist; you're no wis
er than the rest of humanity; and IL
humanity, or that large portion of it
which passes this corner, 'tumbled' to
this little doge of trade it would SIM
ply be no good. But people don't
catch on, and so it works to perfection.
Being as you're a friend OF the family.
and not likely to stand on the front
steps n shout it through q mega
phone, I'll just let you into h secret.
you see, this corner is at the inter-
section of two very important streets;
I might even say 1t is at n junction
of the two great arteries of the city
that which connects the eastern and
the western sections, and that which
| firms the main highway of travel north
| and outh. Car lines which either pass
or transfer to all of the theatres in
town 60 by this door. There are sew
| eral hotels within walking distance.
And the fashion Of the whole city gets
in this vicinity with no great infre-
quency. So the upset of 1t all Is that
a great many people have to stand on
this corner while waiting for a change
| Of cars, and many more pass here on
| their way to and from various impor-
| tant places. Well, these people will
| look up at that clock, which Is ten
| minutes earlier than astronomical
| time. And a good percentage Of them
| will bethink them Of something which
| they want to purchase. To this end
| not only the proper wares OF such q
| shop as this, but cigars, tobacco, toiiet
| articles, and other things which hui
| manitv finds frequent need for are
| displayed to advantage in these win
| dows of ours. What is the result? Inc
| passerby finds hat he has a bit more
| time at his disposal than he thought
| he had. and that he wants something
which can be had at this emporium. He
| comes in and buys that thing. and we
| have made a sale which would not
| have made if we a allowed our clock
| to tell the truth. Do o see the point?
The man saw and he feels that ne
| has received a valuable lesson in In
| ways of shopkeepers. Also. he says
Thai in the future he will depend upon
his own watch and distrust the time
| pieces of all other humans, but more
| especially of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

CUTS THROAT
IN COURTROOM
Prisoner on Trial for Killing
Sweetheart Attempts Suicide
While Judge Is Charging Jury
WOUND NAY PROVE FATAL
Seeks Death Fearing Verdict
Would Be Returned Fixing
the Penalty at imprisonment

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 13.-Just as
the Judge was delivering his instruc-
tions to the jury in the Beckman mur-
der case this afternoon Alfred Beck
man, the accused. drew a razor and
cut his throat.
Beckman killed Helen Kelley, his
sweetheart three months ago because
she had Tilted him. He wes thought
to be insane. Believing there were
extenuating circumstances, the Off
cials had offered to allow Beckman to
plead guilty to murder in the second
degree. This he refused to do, saying
he wished TO die and would plead
guilty TO nothing but the first degree.
When the case was about to go TO
the jury to-day Beckman, believing he
would be sent to the penitentiary,
drew a razor he had concealed about
his person and slashed himself in the
throat. Physicians say he cannot
live
