HOW HEART AFFECTS WATCH
Timepiece IL Uncertain II that Organ
IL Irregular, Says q watch
Maker.

Nobody would ever think that something
the matter with him would cause some
thing to be the matter with his watch. but
a matchmaker is the cause of much un-
easiness In an east end family and all be-
cause he insists that he does his best with
a certain watch and that the reason 1t does
not keep good time is because the man
who carries 1t must have an irregular heart
beat.
1t came about in this way: The head of
the family has a gold watch that cost him
$500 ten years ago. He has carried 1t ever
since. but a year ago it began to act
queerly. For some days it lost time, and
then 1t began to gain time; again It would
gain time mysteriousiy and then strangely
lose a minute or two a day. 1t had been
to the watch repairer three times in twelve
months. and was sim acting irregularly
week ago when the mans wife took It to
the matchmaker.
II think I know what is the matter with
this watch" said the craftsman. II don't
believe that your husbands heart beats
regularly. Now don't get alarmed. 1t is
not necessarily disease. He may be just
one Of those men who can't have a watch
that keeps good time, simply because OF
their irregular heart beats"
movement" said the matchmaker. 1T is
Carried close TO the human heart, which
ought TO have a regular rhythmic move
ment, too. Now, while the watch is beat
ing away the heart Is beating also. If its
pulsatlons occur regularly. punctuating the
rhythm Of the watch at specihc intervals,
the rhythm Of the watch movement is un-
disturbed; but let the heart pulsation occur
irregularly, now pulsating with the tick OF
the watch. again stopping discordantly in
between the ticks, the watch is bound to be
affected. Leave this watch here, and lei
your husband carry your watch. which. we
know, keeps regular time. Let him wear
IL a month, and see II am not right"
So the woman handed her husband her
watch to note the result. She wanted him
TO consult a specialist Immediately upon her
return from the matchmaker. but he com.
promised by agreeing to try the test sug-

Did Not belong to Him.

John Muir, the mountain. climber and
naturalist, lives In one OF the most beau
tiful parts OF the Contra Costa valley In
California. A writer in Ainslee's Magazine.
who had been soJourning with him, tells
this story illustrative Of his fondness for
birds and his wide humanity;
1T was a fair picture Of peace and plenty
under the soft, blue September sky. A
stream ran close at hand. shaded by
alders and sycamores and the sweet
scented wild willow. On the bank nearest
US stood a solitary blue crane. surveying
US fearlessly. A flock Of quail made
themselves heard In the underbrush, and
low above the vineyards a shrike flew,
uttering his sharp CRY. Noting him, /
said TO Mr. Muir;

Why no. he said; they are not my

Ellswood c. Malin and Miss Maggie
Hryson, both Of F'ruita, wore the
principles in quite an exciting elop-
ment episode that took place last
night and the young people were the
victors in the race against the par
ents of the young lady, by just a few
minutes.
1t seemed that Malin. who is just
eighteen years of age, and Miss Bry-
son, who is only fourteen years of
age left Fruita yesterday afternoon
in buggy for Grand junction and
from all accounts a number of their
young friends at Fruita were wise
but kept the parents of the young
peo, who strenuously objected to the
match, owing to their daughters age.
in the dark. However. it seems that
shortly after the lovers left Fruita
for Grand Junction the girls parents
found out the true state of affairs
and left at once for this city. The
parents were angry. very angry, and
they drove to town at terrific rate.
and 1t is reported from Fruita that
the irate father threatened to have
vengence when he ran across his
would-be son-in-law.
The young people got to town
about five o'clock and Melvin went to
the county clerks Office at once, swore
to affadayit that the girl was old
enough to marry without her parents
consent and in this manner secured
the license. The young people then
went to the home of Mrs. Mary.

upon learning that the young couple

the father said that he supposed there
was nothing that he could do as his
young daughter and Malin were law

The youthful groom and his child

The girl is very pretty, Malin has

STATEMENT MADE TOMORROW

cd home today at noon from his visit
to Denver and Fort Collins. Mrs.
o Boyle accompanying him.
When seen this afternoon by the
| Sentinel man Mr.. o Boyle stated that
on tomorrow the special water COM
mittee of the city council would make
the formal statement regarding the
mountain water question.
When told that an effort was be-
ing made to have a mass meeting OF
the citizens for the purpose of dis
cussing the mountain water propo-
sition Mr.. O'Boyle declared that he
hoped the meeting would be held and
an opportunity given the water COM
mittee to explain its position and its
work in every detail, stating that If
such privilege was given by those cir
culating the petition for the mass
meeting and who are known to be OPP
posed to the mountain water propo-
sition that the opposition would be
left no ground 70 stand upon
Mr.. O'Boyle stated that the com.
mtttee in its explanation would show
that 1t had moved along carefully,
avery phase had been closely consider
ed and that the council knows exact
| ly what is doing He further stated
~A't tht NCuncll vas tpuNlnttu lHdl II
could get plenty of mountain water
and that there viii be no qestion about
the quality and quantity of the sup
ply. Facts and figures can and will
be given to back up this assertion.
On being told that those persons
opposing the mountain water propo-
sition we're making the fight on the
| charge that should the council 20 to

nor get sufficient supply. Mr.. o.
Boyle. said;

line is absolutely false. We can get
The water and all that is needed. The
city council, or its water committee
makes the statement that there is
plenty of water in Hannah creek, that
can be gotten hold of. to supply
Grand Junction when it is much larg-
er than it is today. Now these fell
lows knocking the proposition say
that there is not enough water. We
have made Investigations and have
our figures. Now then If they know
that We are wrong why don't these
fellows dig down in their pockets,
raise the necessary funds and have
the water measured for themselves
so that they. can show us to be
wrong2 No, they won't do this and
they don't want to do this. they are
afraid of the facts and figures. This
knocking business makes me tired "
This opinion of Mayor Pro TEN o.
Boyle is shared in by the majority of
the citizens.
