 What is needed said Mir Hahn. "are a large number of prCspectors in the reg o1. Every foot of ground of the district should be thoroughly prospected"
 Speaking of prospecting." added Mir.

equalize the chances. If you draw one

FOR FUN, STUDY A CLOCK.
What May Be Seer Upon a Finger
less Hands and Eyeless Face.

What May Be Seen Upon a Finger
less Hands and Eyeless Face.
Did you every take time to consider
the clock? You should have done so,
if you have not, according to the De-
troit News-Tribune, seeing the cock
gives you the time whenever you ask
it.
(No, this is no joke. 1t is a plain
statement of fact.)
The clock is so sensitive that it COLI
stantly keeps its hands before its face.
This is due to the fact that, through
no fault of its own, it has been doing
time for many years in the most pub
lie manner. 1t may be that, as the
face Of the clock has no eyes, nor
mouth, nOr nose, o chin, nor cheeks,
nor any Of the usual facial appurte-
nances, it keeps it's hands over it
to hide these defects. But this can
scarcely be, we fancy, because it's
hands have no fingers or thumbs. nor
has 1t any arms. and any attempt to
conceal n defect would only expose
another.
Most clocks have only two hands,
but many have three. and 1t is some
what remarkable, anatomically as well
as numerically, that the third hand
Is the second hand. 1t may also be
remarked that the minute hand Is not
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1909-06-11

the minute hand, for it is longer than
the hour hand.
The clock has neither feet nor legs,
but it runs just the same. 1t may
be fast or slow, but it does not walk.
1t always runs and it never runs up.
It runs down, unless it is kept running
round. Providence wisely did not give
feet to the clock.
The clock has a key, but no lock,
and for that reason even the most
ignorant person never tries to open a
clock with the key.
Some clocks strike and some do not,
but no clock ever strikes with its
hands. Just why a clock should be so
peculiar is no affair of ours.
(Of course this Is no joke. The
striking of a clock may be an affair
Of hours, but it is not spelled the same
way. We are not trying to be funny.
This is a dignifed article. Please do
not interrupt it again.
There is no clocks in heaven, be-
cause there is no time there. Neither
is there any night, and an eight-day
clock wouldn't know when to stop.

tages, the ready-made family idea received
u&1u another setback in New York the other
kQk1 day. Mrs. Michael McCabe, who was Of
YApF0N fered an extraordinary bargain in that
line, refused TO accept it.
~ When Mr.. Michael McCabe first met his
u,fo ber name was Harrington, she was 10 years old and
she was n classblower by profession. He wooed and won
shore and have the knot tied by an expert Jersey magis-
trate. Previous to this suspicious occasion he had taken
her to his welLturnished house and explained how much
nicer it would be to reign there as mistress than to
blow any amount Of glass. One thing he did not ex-
plain TO her; he was keeping it as a delightful surprise.
This was that he had a nice, ready-made family of nine
already on hand, and she could dismiss all fear that the
magazines might include them in the list OF people who
were gradually running the country by living In select
apartment houses. He was very careful to keep this
secret because he did not want to spoil the pleasure OF
the surprise.
What was the result Of this affectionate forethousht
and considerations? Did the new Mrs. Michael McCabc
appreciate what her husband had done? Did she ex-
claim, as expected, oh, you perfect dear! l always
did adore ready-made families" Did she? She did not.
to the establishment Of her husband, who had naturally
counted on quite a different scene. What Is more, after
a months experience of a position such as comes to few
1Syear-old girls, she left her happy, well populated home
and returned to her mother. When Michael McCabe fol-
lowed in hot haste to re-establish diplomatic relations
she scaled the back fence, pawned her wedding ring for
81 and went to visit her aunt in Brooklyn-Chicago
Inter Ocean.

woMAN's LONG VIGIL AT LIGHT

One Who Has Tended a Pacific Coast
deacon for Twenty-seven Years.
Miss Laura A. HecOx, who for TWEEN
ty-seven years has tended the light
Of the Santa Cruz lighthouse, has but
recently returned to her post from the
last of the six vacations she has taken
during that period. Since 1881 this
woman has had absolute charge of the
light. and in all that time it has new
err gone out during the night.
Miss Hecox followed her father in
charge Of the light. He was a retired
clergyman, who took the work Of car
ing for the light when his health broke
down under the stress Of his pastoral
duties. With him went his wife and
girl, who cared for him as we'll as
the light.
During the thirteen years her father
was in charge Miss Hecox was practt.
cally the real mistress Of the light
house. When his death came she ap-
piled for and obtained the work. Since
that time she has been steadily at it,
cleaning, tending and watching the
light that it may be never dimmed.
Then her mother died in the old light
house and the woman was left alone
with her work. She loves it and is
never satisfied if she is away from it
for long. Her only recreation is an
occasional visit to her brother, who
lives at Oceanside. and gathering in sea
specimens, a collection Of which she
recently gave to the Santa Cruz library.
Fortunately for Miss Hecox, the
Santa Cruz lighthouse is not built on
a rock-bound coast, but is powered
among trees. The light is modern, of
twelve candle-power multiplied by re-
Electors to something like 665 candle
power. During the twenty-seven year,
it has been tended by Miss Hecox M
