AFRO RACES AT STATE FAIR.

White River Junction. Sept 25.-

the commission He said:
The subject Of automobile races was
gone over III every detail before We de-
cided To include them in our program.
We invited most experienced automo-

Life of Watch.

The lifetime of good watch,
says Amateur Work, is fifty years.
In its daily duties the balance Vi
brates $4,000 times every hour,
1000 times day, or 157, $4,000
times year. The hairspring makes
a similar number of vibrations and
an equal number of ticks from the
escapement. If it is really a good
watch, multiply 157,6SO,O0O by so,
which gives 1884, 100000 pulsa-
tons in fifty years. The chances
are that the watch may even then
be in serviceable condition. This is
a marvellous record, considering the
small quantity of food that has been
consumed by its constant action.
We say food because whatever la
bors must be fed, and the watch

His Hereditary Foe.

An Irishman, a Scotchman and
an Englishman on the unemployed
list were once tramping the coun-
try in search of work. On coming
to a field of turnips they took sew
eral in order to appease the pangs
of hunger. For this they were
dragged before the judge, who took
a lenient view of the case. Before
sentencing each to twelve lashes on
the bare back he agreed to confer
a small favor according as each re-
quested. The Englishman asked the
favor of his overcoat, the Scotch
man his own as well as that of the
Englishman, while the Irishman,
casting a sly, glance at the judge,
said, MAY it please your honor, I
would just like the Englishman
across my back"

pay you tomorrow noon if I'm
alive" And out he went with the
money. About 3 o'clock the next
afternoon friend Of the gambler
dropped in on the Chinaman and
said, Zip, where is George today

his ewes with the corner of his
