THE CLOCK STOPPED SHORT
Happened in an Indiana Railway
Station When the Trolley
Came to Town.

Until this week the only railroad
reaching Sharrsville, Upton county,
was a branch of the Lake Erie & West
ern. For a quarter of a century the old
clock on the railroad station wall had
been the town timepiece. and never
failed in the performance of its duty,
says a recent Indianapolis report.
The electric line from Upton to Ko-
komo was completed this week and the
first electric car to reach Sharpsville ar
rived at 1913 a.. m. There was a celebra-
ton over the event. the president of the
company announcing that the people Of
Sharpsville should have an hourly serv-
ice instead of the one train each way a
day as given by the Lake Erie & West
ern.
Even Station Agent Adams, Of the
Lake Erie & western, was not able to
resist the general contagion, notwith-
standing that the electric road was a
rival of the steam road, and he went up
to witness the incoming of the car and
remained to hear the speeches. When he
returned to the station and looked a:
the clock it registered 10:43.
He busted himself about his duties and
when he began to be hungry he looked
up at the clock again. The hands still
indicated 10:43. He moved them up at
guess, went to his dinner and when the
evening train pulled in got the correct
time from the conductor and set the old
clock.
When he reached the station the next
morning and looked up at the clock he
was surprised to find that the hands in
dicated 10:43. He gave it a start, setting
it by guess, and along about Don
glanced at it again only to find that it
had stopped again at 1913.
And beyond this it has not since
moved without the friendly help of the
station keeper; 1t positively refused to
run over the hour at which its rival first
reached the town.
I believe that clock resents the com
ing Of that electric line" Adams said,
for it never acted that way before. Fun

MAIzIE's ARTISTIC E N
Daughter of Poet Didn't Take Much
After Her Visionary
Father.

Maizie's father was a poet, her mother
a painter, and everybody said that
Maize was sure to be a genius; it was
her fate by inheritance. No one pre-
dicted the direction in which sh would
eventually turn, but when she was
eight her Aunt Mirabel was sure she
would be a great singer, What her
uncles thought is of no Importance.
They had little or no imagination, re-

About the time her aunt lad set
tied Maizie's career, Grandpa Wilkie
said he had hopes of the child. She'll
turn out just like anybody he
chuckled. See f she don't"
1t seemed that first summer sight
on the farm as if grandpa had stuck
the right note. There had been a von-
derful sunset. Maizie's mother, with
half-shut eyes, had compared it to
Claude Lorraine's paintings. Maizse's
father looked lyrics, and the lay metn-
bers of the family also expressed Their
delight in the scene. Maize looked de-
pressed.

grandfather who spoke.

WEALTH AT SEAS BOTTOM
Pure Manganese of Great Value Lies

In spite of the enormous inroads

vestigations have brought to light the
interesting fact that treasure fields con-
tanning fabulous wealth still remain in

economical method of recovering it and
the individual who does so will at oncs

avarice.
The most crying need to-day is a
substitute for Para rubber. 1t is GER

Celluloid and oxidized linseed oil are
useful for some purposes for which
rubber is used. but for cycle and auto

material with the necessary elasticity.
The inventor of a substitute would
soon become a multi-millionaire.

Child Pension in France.

At all times it has been an object
with French parents to teach a child
to be provident and economical. A
child of three can become a member
of the Mutualite by giving only two
cents a week; one cent will entitie it
TO getting ten cents a day when it is
i'll, and the other goes toward getting
a pension when it is at a certain age.
No one knows how long a child can
live, but what does the contribution
amount to? There is hardly a child in
the world who does not spend that for
candy. Now, a boy of is, giving "a cents
a month to the society, will when he is
go have a pension of S72 a year.

WoRK OF TICKET FoRoERs
Tickets Skillfully Altered and Manip-
ulated to Deceive Railway
Conductors

On April Is, 1903, your bureau sabmit-
ted to us a large number of altered and
manipulated tickets and passes OF the
terminal lines entering indianapolis,
Ind, says the Pinkerton report to the
Railway Ticket Bureau.
A careful and thorough examination
showed these tickets to have been most
skiifully altered, conductors of the yari-
Gus lines in question having readily ac-
cepted them for passage. A large num-
Der OF these tickets had been used for
passage two, three and as often as four
times, the method employed in their use
being as follows: Ticket brokers would
purchase tickets from Indianapolis to
stations a short distance beyond Cincin-
natl. The destination of a passenger
would be, for instance, Cincinnati, and
ON arrival his ticket would only show
the cancellations by conductors up to
that point. The passenger would then
return the ticket by mail to the broker
from whom 1t had been purchased. The
brokers would plug up" the conductors
cancellations and resell the ticket. This
operation was repeated as frequently as
the condition of the ticket would permit,
then it was destroyed.
1t became evident, also, Tat regular
card tickets, properly cancelled by con-
ductors and l~egitimately used for pas
sage to st. Louis, were being disposed OF
to brokers and subsequently manipulate
ed and used for passage a second and
third time by the following method: The
cancelled tickets were split and their
backs destroyed; next local card tickets
bearing the depot validating stamp were
purchased, their faces destroyed and the
faces of the cancelled tickets skillfully
pasted on what remained of the local
tickets.
Conductors cancellations would not
show, and to further hide all traces of
alterations the brokers would punch the
letters "B c." signifying baggage
checked" where previously the conduct
ors' cancellation punch appeared. Any
other deficiency in connection with the
tickets would be carefully supplied by
fine pen work.

PROGRESS MADE IN AFRICA
Work of Evangelists in the Dark
Continent Has Been Produc-
tive of Much Good.

twenty-five years ago there was not
a single school in central Africa. To-
day there are nearly 10 in the Liv-
ingstonia mission alone. Twenty-Five
years ago no one in central Africa
knew a letter of the alphabet. To-day
there are than 10000 scholars in
the schools. Twenty-Five years ago
there was no Christian in all the coun-
try. To-day 300 native teachers preach
Christ in the villages every Sunday.
Twenty years ago there vas but one
inquirer after Christ. Last year there
were more than 5000 catechumens in
the baptism classes and in a single day,
at one of the stations, o than 300
adults were received by baptism into
the church of God.
Up to 1890 slave were as
numerous as ever. To-day a strong
British protectorate has made slave
raiding impossible and this much is
certain that if Christianity had not
entered Nyasaland there would be no
British administration there to-day
and central Africa would still be a
land of darkness, of spoliation and of
blood.
Each week volunteer eyanngelists go
out two by two from the mission. No
pay Is given them. but a few beads are
usually furnished to enable them to
buy food at the different stations. To
reach these the evangelists have to
leave Saturday afternoon. descend some
1900 feet to the lake shore and walk
from five to ten miles along rough
broken paths to their destinations.
They return on Monday in time for
afternoon school. In this way some
times not less than A village services
are held in a day.

PLAYS PIANO WITH RIFLE.
French Marksman Performs Astound-

of Parisians.

Everyone is familiar with the "Wil-

among men who do fancy shooting, but

a Frenchman, CASTOR Bordeverry, has

been especially armored to stand this
unusual humping.
Capt. Hardy, a six-foot cowboy, re-
Gently gave a remarkable exhibition of
his skill in shooting before the Lincoln
tNeb.) Gun club. Giving one of the
state celebrities a handful of hickory
nuts, Hardy asked him to throw them
into the air as fast as he could. Not
a single nut escaped the bullets. Five
cent pieces thrown Is feet into the air
W came back. Through a card held
at arms length the cowboy sent five
bullets as fast as they could be fired.
Every shot had passed through a ring
the size of a quarter drawn on the card.
But the most thrilling feat followed.
Half q dozen Eazel nuts were stuck on
skewers and placed in the form Of a
half circle around a mans head. Then
at a distance of 20 PAGES, in the space
of only ten seconds, six shots were
fred. Every nut had been removed in
succession, and when the skewers were
examined it was-found that they were
the same length, showing that Hardy
had hit each nut squarely in the mid
die.

wages and shorter hours meant merely inprovidence and sloth, and
perhaps a very few persons still entertain this view. But for the fair
minded observer of whatever class there is incontestable evidence that
the trades union has brought about, through higher wages and shorter
hours, greater prudence and thrift, better Individual discipline, and more
general activity and temperance among the workingmen than ever existed
before.
In what industrial section have higher wages failed to accomplish
good results? We find that in every occupation wherein the wage-earner
works fewer hours and receives a juster share of the product of labor
i'll the form of higher wages, he is a more temperate, more industrious
and more saving character than he ever was before.
The critic who sneers at the fact that brcklayers, for example,
wear good clothes and have pianos in their homes, is refuting himself
out of his own mouth and pointing to the soundest argument in favor
of higher wages and shorter hours, for that same class of critic was the
one that once said that the workman would spend his hours of leisure in
purchasing with his increased wages the means of dissipation. That
the workman is devohng his increased income and his greater leisure to
the beterrnent of his own condition is the ai-suficient answer to the
opponents of the trades union.
For the betterment of the individual is necessarily the beterment
of society as a whole, and | contend that the improvement in the morals
and the minds OF workingnen, together with the development Of a more
admirable mode of living, is the direct result of the work of the trades
union, which has thus operated L. 70 o.
as a distinct public benefit. IT,
