HEART AFFECTS WATCH.
Timepiece Is Uncertain IF That Or
gain Is Irregular, Says
Matchmaker.

Nobody would ever think that some
hing the matter with him would
cause something to be the matter with
his watch. but a watch maker is the
cause of much uneasiness in an East
End family. says the Pittsburg Ga.
cite. and all because he insists that
he does his best with certain watch
and that the reason it does not keep
good time Is because the man who car
ries it must have an irregular heart
beat.
1t came about in this wise: The
head of the family has a gold watch
that cost him 5000 ten years ago. He
has carried it ever since. but a year
ago 1t began to act queerly. For some
days it lost time. and then it began
to gain time; again it would gain time
mysteriously and then strangely lose
minute or two day. It had been
to the watch repairer three times in
IL months, and was still acting irreg-
ularly a week ago when the mans
wife took it to the watch maker.
II think know what is the matter
with this watch" said the craftsman.
Il 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.
"You see, watch has a regular
rhythmic movement" said the watch
maker. 1T is carried close to the hui
man heart, which ought to have reg,
ular rhythmic movement, too. Now,
while the watch is beating away the
heart is beating also. If its pulsations
occur regularly, punctuating the
rhythm Of the watch at specific inter-
walls, the rhythm Of the watch move.
nent Is undisturbed; but let the heart
pulsations occur irregularly, now pull
sating with the tick of the watch.
again stopping discordantly in be-
tween the ticks, the watch is bound to
be affected. Leave this watch here
and let your husband carry your
watch, which we know keeps regular
time. Let him wear 1t month, and
see If am not right"
So the woman handed her husband
her watch to note the result. She
wanted him to consult a specialist i'm.
mediately upon her return from the
watch maker, but he compromised by
agreeing to try the test suggested by
the watch man.

Harvard's football coach, w. T.
Reid, Jr., was talking about the dan

that entertaining brings, relates the
New York Tribune.
What, precisely, is staleness?" 4

Mr.. Reid smiled.
Don't you know what it is to be

friend Of mine married last Oc-

This girl, few days after she had

crowded with handsome live chickens
that had just come In from his farm
