SETTING THE CLOCK FAST.

A Pleasant Sort Of Deception Com
mon 10 Many People.
2 1t is 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 reas-
sured by the fact that you have no
cause to hurry, as the clock IL so much
ahead of the time.
Has 1t ever occurred to you why
clocks are usually put ahead? Some
physicians have said 1t Is due to lazi-
ness, for it Is such q satisfaction to the
lazy man to find when he has to get
up ut in the morning and strains his
half closed eyes to look at the clock
that 1t is half an hour fast and he has
so much more time to doze, with the
result that he oversleeps himself any
how and misses his train or boat
Said matchmaker when asked
about the subject:
Yes, 1t is a peculiar thing with most
people to put their clocks fast, and.
while there may be some Satisfaction
in it when it comes to doing little
longer. there Is really no advantage in
II, for when you wake up, say. at 8 and
glance at the clock and 1t registers half
past 6, the fact remains that 1t Is q
half hour fast. While this may make
you feel easier, knowing that you still
have thirty minutes to doze. confess
don't see much advantage in it
why not have the clock right7 1t is
the same thing in the end.
Suppose railroads were to put this
into practice. how many trains do you
think people would miss thereby? This
putting clocks fast Is really only a
pleasant form of deception which peo-
pie like to practice on themselves, but
it does more harm than good. New
