THE STORY OF THE
CLOCK THAT STOPPED
How It Made Some Of the
Boys Sprint for the
Office-Stungl

This is another of those days that
are cold and dark and dreary' the
kind that make one weary. 1t has tried
to rain, it has tried to snow and then
sleet a bit, all with Indifferent sue
cess. Now the elements seem satisfied
with straight cold flush with a wind
that whips around the corners and
bites like a wolf houndo
But what's the use Of trying to write
a weather story with the thermometer
where it is and everything stone cold!
There is enough weather without any
weather stories to make 1T worse Let
talk about something else.
The town clock, or the local equiVa-
lent thereof, which frowns on Pioneer
plaza, froze up Tuesday night and is
on a strike-arrow points to the joke
The hands happened to stop at eX-
actly $50 or were stopped there by
design of some evil influence. There
they remained until the town clock
tender got busy and oiled up the inner
works. But that is not the story
The downtowners, meaning those
who were unfortunate enough to have
to work for living, came down from
smelter hill and its environs as usual
after 2 more or less hurried toilet, the
speed depending upon the temperature
of each respective room. There is no
news in that, however. 1t is done each
morning of the 365, Sundays and holi-
days excepted It is whate happened
at the corner of Epson and Santa Fe
that counted.
It is there that the first glimpse or
the village timepiece may be seen
Upon the relative positions of the
hands on this clock depends the speed
with which the remaining four blocks
to the plaza is negotiated. This morn
ing, horror of horrors, the hands stood
at $50, 10 minutes of if you will,
and o'clock, or somewhere there
about, the office hour for beginning
work Could the alarm clock have
been slow? Had the little watch lost
an hour in the shuttle and got the
alarm clock balled up in its reckon
ing?
Nothing short of a sprint for the
office would do in such an emergency.
Arriving there out Of breath and puff
ing like a porpoise, the Western Union
regulator showed that the exact time.
