Is Your Clock Fast?

1t is a common thing to find the
clocks in nine out of ten households
either fifteen minutes or half an hour
fast, and should you happen to be in
a hurry or mention the fact that you
have to be going, you are at once as
sured by the fact that you have no
cause to hurry, as the clock is so
much ahead of the time.
Has it ever occurred to you why
clocks are usually put ahead? Some
physicians have said it is due to laz-
mess, for it is such a satisfaction to
the lazy man to find when he has to
get up at in the morning and strains
his half-closed eyes to look at the
clock that it is half hour fast, and
he has so much more time to doze,
with the result that he oversleeps him
self anyhow and misses his train.
Said watch maker, when asked
about the subject:
ayes, it is a peculiar thing with
most people to put their clocks fast,
and, while there may be some satisfac-
ton in it when it comes to doing a
little longer, there is really no advan-
tage in it, for when you wake, say at
6, and glance at the clock, and it
registers $50, the fact remains that
it is half hour fast. While this may
make you feel easier, knowing that
you still have thirty minutes to doze
[ confess I don't see much advantage
in it.
"Why not have the clock right? 1t
sthe same thing in the end.

FOR SOME ENJOYMENT
Returns to Cincinnati From New York
The Mysterious Road-A Snug
Fortune.
Especial to the Palladium. T

Cincinnati, August 20.-President
w. A. Bradford, Cincinnati, Chicago
& Louisville, returned from New York
yesterday, whittier he went to take
part in the deliberations of the c., II.
& ID. fnanciers.
Mr.. Bradford had nothing to say
yesterday regarding the settlement
reached or the future of the line. He
contented himself with the mere state
ment that for the rest of the summer
he intended to enjoy life among the
fishing resorts of Northern Michigan.
Mr.. Bradfod was the prime mover
in building the c., c. & L., which
from first to last, was one Of the rail-
way mysteries Of the period. No one
knew to whom it belonged.
1t created widespread speculation
and was credited with being attached
to nearly every railroad in Ohio. As
matter of fact, it belonged to no
railroad. Mr.. Bradford owned more
than half of the stock.
He still retains some, having sold
the balance to the c., HI. & d. syndi-
cate. No one knows how much he re-
tains. Mr.. Bradford dislikes publicity
and refuses to believe that his career
is worthy of attention, when as mat
ter of fact, it is distinctly interesting.
He made a snug fortune out Of the
sale. At 40 years Of age he retires to
enjoy life in a manner that many
Americans should emulate.
From what could be learned yes
terday it would appear that the c., C.
& L. will be continued permanently as
an independent property, so far as
actual management is concerned.
No reason has yet been vouchsafed
save the statement in unofficial circles
that the management does not wish
to risk the annoyance of having any
question raised over the control of
competing lines.

Withdraws From the Presidency o

Cincinnati, August 19.-An an
nouncement, which will come as a sur
prise TO hundreds of Catholic priests
IN all parts of the country who We're
educated to their high station under
his guidance, is the withdrawal of Rt.
Rev. Mgr. John B. Murray as rector
OF Mt. St. Mary's Seminary, the his
torlc Catholic institution Of this do
cese. Ever since the election Of DR..

been at the head of the seminary, and
as such one of the foremost ecclesi-
astlcs in this part of the country.
In 1901, when the seminary celebrated
It's golden jubilee, the late Pope Leo
Kill, recognized DR.. Murray's ster-
ling qualities and invested him with
the purple, making him a domestic
prelate and a member of his official
household. When the present Pope
assembled the throne he confirmed his
predecessor appointment. Previous
to his appointment as rector of the
seminary Mgr. Murray was pastor of
st. Edward s church, succeeding the
popular Father Doyle in that charge.
Mgr. Murray's successor as head of
the big institution will be Coadjutor-
Archbishop Moeller himself. The
Archbishop, while the official head,
will, however, have protector in the
person Of Rev. Louis j. Nau.
DIR. Nau has been a member of the
seminary faculty for man wears. He
occupies the chair of Moral Theology
and Canon Law, and is regarded as
one of the most learned churchmen in
this country. He is graduate of the
famous Louvain Seminary and the au-
thor of many historical works.

The Prince Of Wales Wins Public
Favor.
Chicago Record Herald. J

I'll.
The Prince of Wales has decided to
cease being cold and indifferent to-
ward his future subjects. He proposes.
in fact, to court their good will and
esteem. 1t has been a matter of no
small concern to the English people
that his royal highness has never until
recently appeared to care whether
they liked him or not, thus creating
a painful contrast between himself
and his august father, who has always
been most jealous in his efforts to
gain public favor. Prince George was
trained as a sailor, and it was prob
ably due to that fact that hewas wont
until very recently to hold the popu-
lace in something akin to contempt.
High officers of the navies are not
likely to have much of an opinion of
the general run of civilians who pillow
and SOW and reap and toll at FORCES
and run stores and keep books. But
that is merely in passing. The prince
has made up his mind to cease giving
the icy stare even to men who do not
happen to wear uniforms. He is go
ing in for becoming peoples idol
And how does he propose to beging
Has he decided to live frugally. thus
cutting down the taxation of the
masses? Is he, while waiting for his
revered father to die off, going to
find a job somewhere and earn his own
living? Does he propose to lay aside
his royal uniform and 90 down into
the haunts of the poor for the pur-
pose of learning the truth about the
under which they exist, to
the end that he may assist in devising
methods for their amelioration Is he
going to get along with one or two
castles, letting the rest devoted to his
uses be sold off so that the proceeds
may be used in providing hospitals,
homes for the helpless and reading
rooms for the masses?
