Pittsburg Gazette
Nobody would ever think that some
thing the matter with him would cause
something 20 be the matter with his watch
but watch maker is the cause OF much
uneasinesss in an East End family, 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 carries 1t must have an Irregular
heart beat.
Il came about in this wise; The head
Of the family has "a gold watch that cost
him 5000 10 years ago He has carried 1t
ever since, but a year ago lt began to act
queerly. For some days 1t lost time. and
then it began to gain time; again It would
gain time mysteriously and then strangely
lose a minute or two a day. 1t had been
to the watch repairer three times IN II
months. and was still acting irregularly q
week ago when the mans wife took 1t TO
the watch maker.
"I think / know what is the matter with
this watch, said the craftsman. 81 don't
believe that your husbands heart beats
regularly. Now, don't get alarmed. IL IS
not necessarily diseased. He may be Just
one of those men who cant have a watch
that keeps good time, simply because OF
their irregular heart beats.
"Iou sec, a watch has a regular ryihmlc

So the woman handed her husband her
watch TO note the result. She wanted
him to consult a specialist immf diately
upon her return from the wat chmaker
but he compromised by agreeing TO try
the test suggested by the watchman.

New York, April 12-Another effort

The miners, who have had under

Commission Of 1902 1903 take up the
dispute so far as it relates to wages
and method for the adjustment of

accept the Strike Commission if it
were permitted 10 take up all the de-
mands made by the wage workers,
some of which they have greatly
modified. The miners will insist that
the eight-hOur demand. along with a

largely by illegal riders from the coal
mines, who throw stones and coal from
the cars.
Irwin, Pa. April u. A general re-
port of conditions in the Irwin coal
fields, received here today, shows that
almost complete forces are again a {
work at all the mines, with additional
men ready as soon as the collieries are
in the shape they were before the
strike. Many men have left the region
to seek places elsewhere These are
mostly Italians, who we're discharged.
This is the day that the Miners
Scale Committee asked the operators
to meet them at Greensburg, but the
operators have decided TO pay no at
tention to the request
Guards are still on duty, as threats
were made to destroy property of the
coal companies.
