"Who cares?"

and a wild rage filed him. He caught
up q short branch that was lying at

The tramp lunged at him and the boy
struck him a heavy blow across the
head. Ee saw the fellow reel back
and stagger blindly away, and then he
flung himself at the fame and beat 1t
as it ran this way and that. and while
he fiercely fought it he screamed wildly
for help.
The tall farmer sitting on the back
porch heard the cry and ran. And
there were two neighbors riding by on
the highway who heard it and ran too.
When the struggle was all over and
the fire was beaten down, and the big
barn was out of danger, one of the
neighbors turned to the painting boy.
How did you start 1t, sonny? he
asked.
The boys temper flared up. His
hands were blistered. he was half
choked, and his beautiful clothes We're
ruined.
'I didn't start it, he screamed. "1t

flung the match in tn grass an struck

"Good Lord I'm goip' to keep him, an

and was glad.

THE TWO BEST CLOCKS
Those at Greenwich and Washington
Tied for Accuracy

In spite of wonderful; achievements
in clock and watch making there is
not a clock or watch in existence that
will keep time.
One of the most punctual of public
clocks is London's Big Ben, the four
faced giant in the clork tower at West
minister. Though exposed to all sorts
of weather conditions 1t has never been
more than three seconds in error.
But the seconds i'll error of which Big
Ben may be justly proud would appal
the real aristocrats o. the clock world
which live secluded lives in observa-
tories.
OF these the three most punctual by
the world are the Greenwich 1900 clock,
the Berlin observatory clock of 1907 and
that at the United States naval OBJ
servatory at Washington.
These three were lately compared by
a German savant, with the result that
Washington and Greenwich clocks tied
for first place with 0.015 seconds as the
value of the mean deviation of their
daily rate, the German timepiece,
guilty of a mean deviation of thirtieth
of a second. being badl. beaten.-New

Little r, Is all over London are learn

Describing the lessons a schoolmis-

Forenoon Session of Board

The members of the Potta-
wattamie and Harrison county
boards met this morning in the
council room soon after 8
O'Clock. 1t was thought ad-
visable to go out to the Newton
ditch and look over the ground
and premises affected. A couple
of hours were spent inspecting
the ground thoroughly and
then the meeting was called to
order again in the council
room. Engineer Seth Dean
read quite lengthy report
concerning the various PROPOSE
tions regarding the Newton
ditch and water adjacent there
to. Following this gen
eral discussion came up and
then came adjournment until
after lunch. Attorney Heis for
the Northwestern was asked
regarding the closing of the
bridge on the main line just
south of town, and he stated
that if the board would get
waivers for the company, ex-
cusing them from liability, that
he would send in a report re-
commencing that this be done.
This would keep the Boyer
water from running north and
flooding the land west of town.
Attorney Kilpack in his opinion
regarding the legality of the
board proceeding with work on
the Newton ditch, stated that
it would not be possible for
them to do anything, unless a
sub-drainage district was organ
lied and the people directly in
terested would have to stand
the expense of the work. 1t is
claimed that the board of super
visors have nothing to do with
the damage done from the
Newton ditch filling up at the
time of the overflow last fall,
but several Missouri Valley
citizens gave it as their opinion
this morning that the joint
board should fix the response
bility for this ditch being filled
and thus causing all the dam
age, krelief for which is now
asked.

Word was received in the
city last evening of the drown
ing of Earl, the Is year old son
of j. G. Bardsley, member of
the Pottawattamie county bar
and postmaster at Nicola. The
drowning occurred in Mosquito
creek. The young lad and an
elder brother were wading in
the creek. Earl had left the
water and was standing on the
bank when his brother stepped
into a hole. Thinking his
brother was about to sink, Earl
jumped into the creek to save
him. Where the lad jumped
the water was deep and the
current strong and he was
swept under and drowned be-
fore his elder brother, who as
it happened, was not in any
danger, could reach him. Bee
