LIFE OF A WATCH.
Depends Largely on the Timekeeper
and the Man Wearing It.


and the Man Wearing It.
The life of watch, jewelers. say,
depends largely on the person car
rying it and the care taken of it.
As to the care of a watch some
jewellers say that it should be oiled
once year, some once in two years;
perhaps once in eighteen months
would be about the right thing.
All jewelers. say that watch
should always be wound at the same
time daily. This is essential to
make it give the best and most uni
form results. If watch is permit
ted to run down it may on rewind-
ing keep different time and require
regulating. With the watch wound
regularly and kept running there is
set up and established in the main
spring a certain tension. If this
strain is wholly released by letting
the watch run down the spring may
on rewinding take on a somewhat
different tension. This difference
may be extremely slight, but it may
be enough to affect the running Of
the watch.
While some watches are long iv-
ed, many are short lived, the long
lived watches being of course those
of fine quality that are also well
cared for. But there is a limit to
the life of any watch that is kept
constantly in use. The best of
watches, like the best of anything,
will wear out in time.
A matchmaker had lately brought
in to him for repair a watch 125
years old that had been running
practically continuously, 1t might
be difficult to say of just what dura-
ton its intervals of rest had been
but it was supposed to have beer
run practically continuously, and
though it had stopped at least once
it was still in fairly good condition
and good for some future use. Blu
this was an extraordinary case. Mos
watches, however excellent the,
may have been originally, would
, with constant use wear out in ia
less time.
Sometimes there are brought il
= to jewellers fine old and once val
) liable watches whose owners, desir
ing now to buy a new watch, wis
, to offer the old watch at some pric
in exchange, but it is of no valu
except for the weight of the meta
. contained in its cases. Every jew
! fler has an accumulative collection
s of such old works, which are of n
s value whatever, except that at lon
t intervals there may be found anon
e them a wheel or a part that ma
a serve in some other old time waite
s brought in for repair.
s So watches do wear out, and as t

n good average watch with fair car
!. ought to wear from thirty to fort

LUCKY BOB'S
INSPIRATION,
How a Light In a Window Caused
a Villains Downfall.
BY HOWARD FIELDING.

ciation.l

ciation.l
His name was Robert Bryce He
was an attorney, and the law of pat
ents was the field wherein he reaped
an excellent harvest of fees. His
friends called him Lucky Bob"
A man would naturally prefer to
have his successes credited to his abil-
ity rather than to his luck, yet it was
not for this reason that Bryce disliked
it was lie. The fates had done him
an i'll turn, and all their favors were
but mockeries.
Three years ago, when Bryce was
twenty-siX, he met Martin L. Randall,
who paid him well for a small profess
siOnal service. The money came just
in the nick of time, for Bryce was
struggling hard to get foothold in in
dependent practice. Randall was a
rich man. He had manufacturing inter
ests of various kinds, involving the use
of patented machinery and the making
of patented articles. He took a fancy
to Bryce intrusted him with important
affairs, kept him in funds, advised him
in the investment Of his surplus, in
vited him TO his home.
Friendship sprang up between the
men despite the great difference in
their yeaus. They were constantly
seen together. 1t was current talk that
Bryce's fortune was made, and his col
lege nickname, Lucky Bob, was heard
again on the lips of his associates.
On his first visit to Randalrs home
Bryce dlned with the family, only one
of whom had drop of blood in com,
mon with Randall This was his sis
ter, widow and childless. The others
were a Mrs. LOring and her daughter
Amy and young man named Ballard
Dillon. Randall had been a cavalry
officer in the civil war and in those
days capable of romantic friendships
Mrs LOring was the widow of a com
rade in arms. Dillon was the son OF
another The lady had been left will
some small means in trust with Ran
dali Dillon was a penniless orphan
who had fallen into the lap of luxury.
Amy LOring was not yet eighteen
when Bryce first saw her. She
seemed to him a very pretty and vel
bred girl and nothing more.
The first warning that Bryce re
Ceived came from Randall at the
house one evening. Amy and Dillor
happened to be standing together in {
good light and accidentally posed will
some artistic value.
"A handsome couple" said Randall
who was an admirer Of personal beau
ty, like most other people who have
been blessed with Il share of it.
1t was not long after this that Ran
dali conveyed to Bryce definitely thu
intelligence that Amy and Dillon wer'
intended for each other. Increasing
misery was Bryce's portion from tina
hour, and the word "Iucky" coupled
with his name was bitter mockery.
There may be many reasons why
woman should not marry a man though
she loves him. There is no reason
why she should marry him if sh

loves him not. All debts are Cancelled,
all gratitude vanishes, the wisdom of
wise counselors is folly, the dictates
of worldly prudence are as rash as
madness, If they urge toward marriage
without love.
Such was Bryce's philosophy, and
you may imagine his feelings at the
spectacle presented in Randall's home.
Mrs. Loring and Randall were crea-
lures OF Interchangeable decision. They
had decided upon this marriage long
ago. The idea of it had grown into
their bones. AS for Amy, she had
known Dillon since her childhood and
had liked him and disliked him and
ouarreled with him and made it up.
The girl exerted a strong attraction
upon Dillon, and there were moments
when he fancied himself deeply in
love with her. These were the mo-
ments of encouragement when he
seemed to see a way out of the trou-
bles into which he had fallen Of late
years through course OF elaborate
dunlicity and secret extravaganza.
For the most part he had too many
worries to think of love. His pillow
was not haunted by images of beauty.
He saw Shylocks and shysters and the
.wolfish faces of third rate Wall street
brokers, and even the helmeted po-
liceman and grim visaged jailer fg'
ured in the worst of his visions.

TAX BOARD REDUCES LAND
COMPANY'S ASSESSMENT.
Other Appeals Are Taken
Under Consideration.

Several appeals were heard by the
County Tax Board today from assess
ments, n among them was one made
by the Erie Land and Improvement
Company, which is affiliated with the
Erie Railroad Company, to have the
5000 assessment on property in West
Orange cut down.. 1t was claimed that
it should conne under the head of Sec
ond-class railroad property and hence
the State Board of Assessors should
levy the assessment and not the local
board.
Decision was reserved in this case,
as we'll as that of Richard birmingham.
who wanted a cut from $4,000 to 5000
on two tracts of land embracing fifteen
and one-quarter acres in Verona. His
claim was that the property had been
used partly for the construction of
tracks used in the building of the Hos
pital for the Insane at Overlook and
hat these tracks had been taken up
before an assessment was liable.
After hearing argument the board
decided to reduce the assessment of
$1,000 OF the Erie Land and Improve
ment Company by $3.50 on property
owned by 1t on Riverside avenue, in
this city. 1t consists of two lots, and
the complaint was that the assessment
was too high compared with that of
adjoining property.

DIR. INGLIS DENIES UNION
OF CHURCHES is PLANNED.
High Street and Third Congre-
cations Not to AmaIgamate.

The renewal of a rumor which has
been in circulation tina the Third
Presbyterian Church was considering
an offer Of consolidation from the High
Street Presbyterian Church was met
by an emphatic denial today on the
part of the Rev. DIR. Robert Scott In
glis, of the Third Church.
"A congregational meeting Of the
Third Church will be held tonight"
said DIR. Inglis. but it viii merely be
for h election of officers. There has
not been any renewal of the offer made
three years g by the High street
church 1t is true the ACCESSIBILITY of
consolidation has peer discussed from
time to time by the Presbytery. You
can state positively, however, that
there has been no recent offer from the
High street church"
At the time Of the offer three years
church was vacant, and the proposition
of the High street church was to make
over the title IF their property to the
Third Church, for it's members to be
received into the Third Church, and
DR.. Inglis to be pastor over the united
congregation. 1t was stipulated that
the Broad street church be abandoned
and the High street church be used
as a place of worship.
1t was said today that the rumor
of consolidation had been renewed be-
cause the High street church Is again
without a pastor. There has been talk
also of a consolidation of the Third
Church with the South Park Presby-
terian Church.

INSURGENTS, READ
OUT OF COP, PLAN

Plan Attack on Administration
for Denying Them Support
For Reelection.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Insurrec-
ton stalked afresh among the Repuh-
lican insurgents of the House today,
when they read the letters of the Re
publican congressional committee pub
lisned today declaring that the insur-
gents were without the pale, so far as
concerns support from the committee i n
the coming congressional election.
Half a dozen leading members of the
revolving faction were seen at their
offices IN the House building today,
prior To- the converting of, the House.
and they were unanimously emphatic n
their ~disapproval of whatthe Republican
congressional committee had said and
DONE. All were in favor of a meeting of
the insurgents being called without
further delay, and a reply formulated to
the committees letter. An unequivocal
answer was necessary. they said.
1t was said in. the House today that
Representatives Dwight, OF New York.
Republican whip, had taken the names
of the so-called insurgent Republican
Congressman off the list of representa-
tives to whom he regularly sends no.
tees demanding their attendance at
times of division.
While the army appropriation bill still
engaged the attention of the House
when hat body convened today, men,
bers manifested far greater interest in
the Pinchot- Ballinger situation, and the
statement issued yesterday by the Re-
publican congressional committee OPEN
ly warning insurgent Congressman that
they could expect no help from the adj
minstration when they came up for re-
election.
Republican leaders in the House in
cline to the view that the Senate will
abide by the verdict of the House in de-
'termining to choose its own members
of the special interior department for
est service investigation committee, and
are going ahead with plans for a eau
Gus, to be held on Wednesday night to
select these men. Should the Senate
adopt tho Jones resolution in the form
it has been reported by the committee,
empowering the speaker to name the
House members, a bitter fight may be
expected when the resolution reaches
the flood of the House.
