QUEER ACTIONS OF WATCH.

In Some UnaccountabIe Way Time
pieces Are Influenced by wearers.
1T does not look reasonable to be
lieve that the personality of the wearer
would have anything to do with the
running of Il WATCH said 4th street
matchmaker, but l recently had an eX-
perence which satisfied me that in
some mysterious way the watch and its
owner become in part at least identi-
fed.
AN engineer employed in large
manufacturing establishment bought a
watch from me about three years ago.
1t was good watch, too, and he paid
a high price; more, indeed, than a man
in his line could have been expected to
pay. Three months later he brought
back the watch, saying that it would
not keep time. l gave him another, put
the watch in my drawer and regulated
and set it, after l had looked it over,
and for three weeks that watch didn't
vary ten seconds day. l returned it
when the engineer called and in less
than a month here he came back again
with the same complaint. | examined
most carefully every part of the mech
anism. Everything was right and the
watch kept excellent time, and yet a
few weeks later here it WAS again, the
engineer as mad as wet hen and init
mating that 1 had sold him a bad
watch.
Il was completely puzzled by the an
| tics of the watch, for l knew the man
well enough to be convinced that he
would not complain without cause, so l
suspected that there must be SOM hing
in the way he handled or wore the
watch that made the trouble. He told
me that his brother was night engineer
in the establishment where he worked
by day, they lived IN the same room,
each had paid half the price Of the
watch, and each carried it, one by day
and the other by night. l didn't see
that that would make any difference In
| the running of the watch, but as I
couldn't find anything the matter with
| it, I gave him a cheap watch and told
| him to wear the good watch himself, or
let his brother wear it, no matter
| which.
six months after l met the engineer
and asked him about the watch 1t
ran all right, he said, ever since his
brother quit wearing It. 1 then asked
him to let his brother wear it for
few months and after a little irreeu-
larity at first the watch still kept good
| time. OF course. one case like that
doesn't prove anything but 1 have
| heard of others, so am more than half
convinced that in some queer way q
watch is Influenced by the wearer."-

MRS.NElLlE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman. often on
the verge of Mysteries, is source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous proStra-
ton, nervous dependency, h e
blues. sleeplessness, and nervous
irritabilitv of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with eX
treme irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains,
dyspepsia. sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross ard snappy? If so,
your nerves are in a shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
