"A whatf' somebody asked.
"A week Of I O'Clock the man declared

Tell us about It."
well. we have a clock ON the dining
room mantsl that was supposed TO havs
what 10 called q cathedral boil. Whom
you heard it strike you could imagine that
away or down toward the 0owsnus canal
o mellow bell in some cathedral belfry was
sounding tho hour.
1T went out OF whack and l took IL
to o shop near by where they tinker clocks.
and when IL came back IL had a strike like
the gong in q ftre engine house. IL 10 one
Of these clocks that strike ono stroke at
half past tho hour.
For q week 1 have been lying around
with tho grip and living on quinine and
clam broth. I turn in in the evening and
sleep until a little after midnight.
Then I wake up. and in a short while
tho clock strikes One-for half past II.
I think over all my past sins and follies
for half an hour. and then that clock strikes
one--for I o'clock.
at doesn't make much difference TO me
whether IL means half past II or I, and l
hin Of various topics such as those that
engage the mind OF q man suffering from
grip and quinine until my clock strikes
ono for the third time Huntington half
past 1.
Then l know that il 10 half past 1 and
after q while fall into q dOze. The next
thing l hear is that clock striking 1 again,
and l know IL 10 half past something. While
l am trying 10 guess what IL 10 half past I
fall asleep.
Il wake Up somewhat refreshed and
am thinking OF getting up and drawing a
glass Of water and seeing what time Il is
when l hear the preparatory click of the
striking wheels n tho darn thing strikes
I again. l 20 out and scratch a match
and see that IL 10 half past 2 or half past 3.
From then until daylight IL usually
happens that II l am awake the clock strikes
1. or it wakes mo up with the final stroke
OF another strike.
I'm the daytime il has not been quite so
bad, but I have got 4 o'clock on the brain.

II seems a. II l heard the clock strike one
three or four times for every time It strikes

His Task liant Always Pleasant. hut Risks
Are Small.
In the course Of the other trials OF a mill
tary life, the army oficer occasionally Is
brought before a court-martial and a regular
assignment is made OF one officer to act as
Judge Advocate. The latter is supposed to
look out as much for the interests OF the
accused as OF the service. and in fact his
questions are supposed to be designed to
bring out not merely one phase of the case,
but the facts. for the members Of the court
TO pass upon. He may II he wishes color
these facts in his speech in summing up, but
ordinarily he does not.
IL IL not a task hat most army men relish.
There Ia a great deal Of work attaching to
almost every case. involving all the Ordi-
nary work that q lawyer has.
II a man happens 70 DO Judge Advocate
before a general c~ourt-martial, he has a
series of cases that are apt to tire him in
finiteIy. They m from petty things TO
others more important. The cases involve
Avast Reneralknowledge, because a cavalry
man may have TO try an artilleryman, and
that means acquiring a pretty complete
knowledge OF the duties and customs OF the
service on artillery posts.
There is no particular glory or honor
attaching TO being the Judge Advocate In a
co~urt-fnartial. II the man wins his case Il
does not make him more popular with the
service. In fact. IL he loses In the case OF
some man who 10 rather well liked, but who
has been injudicious. he 10 apt TO enhance
his own popularity.
However. there 10 this TO be said. II he
loses or wins. IL 10 not like being a lawyer.
His income 40 q solder 10 not dependent ON
what he does with his cases.
Most OF the mo assigned TO the courts

So they take their duty as cheerfully as
