OLD VALLEY FORGE CLOCK.
Timepiece By Which Washington Set
His Watch. Now in Chicago.

Stationed i'll The main hallway just

clock by which George Washington
frequently set his watch during that
memorable winter at Valley Forge.
says the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
How long the ancient timepiece
was running before the commanders
in-chiet rP the colonial forces paid
his visits TO the Lehman residence
Is not disclosed by the present records
which are in keeping Of Sister Mary
lgnatluS. one of the nuns who has
been stationed al the Chicago hospi-
tai since It was established on its
present site. before the fire Of 1871.
The clock came into the possession
ot, the sisters Of Mercy in 1872, when
it was given into their charge by
Charles Lehman, grandnephew of
the fighting colonel of revolutionary
fame. Mr.. Lehman. who at the time
had his residence in Fort Wayne, Ind.
came to Chicago to have a cataract
removed from his eve and was taken
to Mercer hospital where the opera
tion was performed. While conva-
lescing Mr.. Lehman expressed his
natitude to the sisters for the kind
" treatment accorded him. and ey-'
pressed the desire to place III their
kcepin" the priceless heirloom. For
family reasons Mr.. Lehman was re-
strained from handin@> the timepiece
down to his children and finally re-
Gue>ted the sisters Of Mercy to be-
come cllStodanS OF the clock.
The clock has eNerted an influence
at the big hospital that Is almost hu-
man. 1t has Il personality that has
been borne IN upon many OF the
minds Of the nurses and nuns. 1t IS
in the hours around midnight and
before the morning awakening and
hustle come that the ancient time
piece communes most strikingly with
the few sweet sisters Of charity and
their white robed attendants who
watch by the bedsides Of the sick
and the dying. Then all is quiet in
the great halls save the slow, ischro-
nous voice Of the ancient clock that
eonjures up in the mind fanciful pic
lures Of the stirring and pitiful days
at Valley Forge, when the British
hard pressed the handful Of pa
triots.
In pattern the clock is said to be
Identical with the one at Cralgie
house, immortalized by Longfellow,
and the thoughts inspired in the
poet s mind by the ancient timepieee
half way up on the stairway in the
dear Cambridge house are not unlike
the musings inspired by the old
clock in the Chicago hospital as it
Echoes along the vacant hall,
Along the ceiling, along the floor,
And seems to say at each chamber
door:
"F'orever-never!
"Never-forever!'

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, ana that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed torever nine casas out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition OF the mucous sur.

PUT AWAY YOUR GUN.

There many boys and young men of our mountains
and some older men-old enough to know better-who
carry revoves with them when they go school
We have few friendly words to say them:
If you had crazy man with you one who was
drunk you wouldn't lend him your revolver would you?
He might not hurt you with it, but then again he might
You would not take any risk with him. He isn't
fit to be trusted with such dangerous weapon.
You will not your revolver unless you very
angry drunk. II you then it will be because you
have lent your revolver to crazy mar-yourse and you
may have thousand years of remorse for what that
crazy man does with your gun in one minute.
London is of the best governed cities in the world
New York and Chicago compare with it. The Lon
don police of the finest in appearance,
courage and character be found the world But the
police of London are not allowed to carry
revolvers.
II you not looking for life of remorse or
death on the gallows, put away your gun
You won't need it when you sober and good naured
You can't trust yourself with it when you are
mad, with passion or drink
