Clock Watcher Cought.

You never see a clock-watcher
who amounts to hill O. beans The
other day | called at an express of
flee in lower Broadway for a strike
held package, when | noticed the
clock on the wall over the counter
was full five minutes ahead Of time.
A young fellow, small of statue, thin
and blond of hair, stood underneath
the clock, not busy, but pretending
to be.
Say, young man." I remarked cas-
ually, your clock is ahead of time"
Quick as flash the fellow turned
on me with a scowl and replied:
Nothing of the sort. That clocks
all right I set it myself. Guess |
know the correct time" and he pulled
out his watch and stared at it, Then
several other clecks all pulled out
their watches and compared them
with the clock on the wall The ma
jority were five minutes slower, and
the owners said so. A number of
people on the outside of the long
counter also took out their watches
and made comparisons. The clock
watcher looked much disconnected at
the fuss being made over the clock,
and was visibly disturbed He turned
this way and that, began hunting
impossible things under the counter,
turned back to his own desk, FUN
bled a moment there, conscious all
the time that every eye was now
turned on him All this had taken
several minutes, and the time, no
doubt, seemed a small eternity to
him. He was plainly embarrassed,
and again took out his watch and
looked at it, then at the clock and
slowly said.
q don't see how it ever got ahead.
I set it all right while ago, I know.
Must be something the matter with
it, | know; it's gone wrong
No" said the manager of that de
partment, "the clock has not gone
wrong. I saw you deliberately climb
up just now and set that clock. You
wound it and set it ahead on pur-
pose-sos you could go home that
much earlier. Now you keep your
hands off that clock altogether in the
future and attend to your business,
or you'll be hunting a new job.
The man who was waiting on me
remarked,
1--WE never can get any work out
of that fellow"
But you may depend on it, any man
who will turn a trick of that kind will
bear as much watching as the clock.

1908 and Second President in
1906.
In the official bulletin announcing
his election to the office Of Vice
President, we find this brief and
formal reference to his record of
service in The Prudential Insurance
Company:
THE record made by his close ap-
plcation to the duties of every office
he has filled, and the conspicuous
part he has taken in the upbuilding
OF great, progressive business, needs
no exploitation. 1t speaks for itself"
SO it does
1t shows that he commenced as
youth of 10 in about the same way
as other young men do and that he
labored faithfully in various stations
for tWenty-nine years before winning
the vicepresdency No man above
him was set aside for his advance
ment nor was the promotion Of any
postponed for his benefit Earning
his rewards exactly as have others
in the service his business ability
matured, his judgment ripened and
his capacities as an administrator ex-
banded and deepened. He knows not
only the work, but the workers in
every branch; he understands their
difficulties and trials; what they need
and why they advance or retrograde
in the performance of their duties.
As one Of them, he must of necessity
sympathize with them in all their
struggles 1t is this knowledge, and
the practical use made of it in the
interests of the company that renders
him the masterful figure in industrial
insurance he has grown to be. There
is no detail connected with the opera
ton of the great company to which
he has devoted his life that he is I'M
acquainted with; and there is no de
partment of the vast business in
which The Prudential is engaged
which does not bear the impress of
his improving mind. He has been
one of the chief instruments to ia
cilitate the evolution and develop
ment of industrial insurance along
lines which make it more beneficial to
the people.

tect of his own professional fortunes;

INTERESTING SERMON ON
DEATH is PREACHED

Brooklyn Pastor Speaks to Audience
in South Methodist Church Last
Night.
What is Death? Why is Death /?
and Will Death Ever Cease?" This
was the subject of an interesting dis
course at the South Methodist church
on West Webb street last evening by
Rev. ]. H. Cole of Brooklyn, New
York. The same man will speak this
evening in the same church on The
Resurrection"
The speaker declared that Adam
and Christ We're the only two men
earth.
He went on to say that contrasting
terms is one of the best ways of COM
pretending the matter, and that the
Bible contrasts life with death, one
being the antithesis of the other;
thus we realize that darkness is the
absence of light and that death is the
absence of light. The Bible uses
darkness, death and the devil as
synonyms on one hand, and light, life
and Christ on the other.
MT. Iole CnoSe many SlIoIS scrip
lures to verify his arguments, such
as THE dead know not anything" >"
I'm death there is no remembrance in
thee" THE Sleep of DEATH" and
many other similar texts. He said
that we are not examples of what life
is, but of death, for all are born IN
sin, and when it is finished bringeth
forth death, even as the Lord stat
ed: LET the dead bury their dead"
meaning that those upon whom sin
had not finished its work should bury
those where sin had accomplished its
full work of death.
The speaker further stated the
death penaltythat came upon Adam
has been inherited by all of his chill
dren as stated by the Apostle Paul,
by one man sin entered into the
world, and death as a result of sin,
SO death passed upon all men," re
stated that some might presume that
God thus permitting death to come
upon all Adams children because OF
what Adam did, without they being
in the slightest way connected with
the transgression. would be an Unjust
act on Gods part, but he showed that

still enjoying is nothing that we have
| any just right to. that God does not
owe any one life, that when Adam

AND BOOSTS COUNTY

DR.. Henry w. Coe, formerly head
of the colonization work on the Fur
nish project, and who as president or
the Columbia Land company, brought
hundreds of settlers to the west en-
of the county, is in the city today. He
came here from Stanfield where ne
had been for a couple of days look
ing over the project and attending
to some affairs in connection with
the litigation that is now underway
between w. j. Furnish and himself.
According to DR.. Coe, he has lost
none of his enthusiasm as to the
wonderful resources and opportuni-
ties of Umatilla county and especial
" of the irrigation section. He ex-
presses pleasure over the advance
ment that is being made in the west
end and predicts a bright future for
that section.
That he will perhaps be here to a
large extent during the next two
months is stated by the doctor. Part
of the litigation is to be tried out
here and therefore his presence in
this section is made necessary. The
firm of Lowell & Winter represent DR..
Coe here.

THE POULTRY YARD.

The March-hatched pullets will be
the early fall layers.
Many incubator chicks are killed
with" kindness by being overfed and
kept too warm.
You need not be afraid the hens
will eat too much crushed shells. Let
them have all they want.
Make it a rule to count the biddies
every day. Some folks never do this.
They might be robbed and never know
it,
have heard the advice given to
feed the chicks all they will eat UP
clean. That won't do. They will eat
up clean (the first week or two) more
than they have any business eating.
Hard enough to sit for three weeks
without having to be knawed all the
time by insect pests. Look at your
sitting hens once in while and be
sure they are free from enemies OF
this kind.
You can make money by getting a
good rooster right now. Mate him
with some of your best hens and set
the eggs. Your basket will get full
a lot faster after those pullets get to
laying.
Particularly at this season of the
year, do not set hen until it is pos
itive that she is thoroughly broody
If she does not have the full fever,
she is apt to desert her nest often ar
ter sitting a week or two.
AS the weather is still cold, not
more than eleven eggs should be CIV
en- hen. When larger number is
allowed, the eggs are not sufficiently
covered, and those on the outer edges
of the clutch are likely to become

BUREAU OF NATIONAL
PARKS TO BE CREATED

A bureau of national parks will
soon be created II a bill simultan-
eously introduced in the house of
representativesby Davidson of Wis
consin, and in the senate by Senator
Smoot Of Utah, be enacted into law.
1t is the purpose Of the bill to place
the control and management of ma
tional parks and monuments and res
ervations under the bureau, instead
Of as at present, having them con-
trolled by several.
President Taft recommended the
creation of such a bureau in his an
nual message. The secretary Of the
interior Is known to favor the plan
and In his annual message to the
president, said:
ut will doubtless be necessary m
the accomplishment of these PROPOSE
tions, to create a bureau of national
parks and resorts, and the planning
under 1t Of a consistent and broadly
considered scheme for national parks
and resorts to fit the future needs OF
the United States government, would
/be in line with the policy under
WHICH Jul liisl pIcSlucll pldHHtu III
1903 the federal city which now bears
his name. without such planning no
such civic convenience, beauty, i'm
pressiveness and national dignity as
the city of Washington now enjoys,
would have been possible"
The government now maintains nine
great national parks, and several
smaller parks and reservations, the
total area of which is 4,606153 acres
During the last five years s2S1,515
was appropriated for, and s152.ST1
received in the way Of revenue from
the nine national parks. The reve-
nue. is derived largely from conces-
sions made to individuals or COM
panies for operating transportation
facilities, hotels and lunch stations.
The bill introduced provides for the
appointment of a commissioner with
such experts and assistants as con.
gress may from time to time author.
ize, and appropriates $4,000 fol-
maintenance of the bureau.

EVEN THE HINDUS
COMPLAIN OF CENSUS

Complaint has been frequent in In
dia that the census returns are mis-
leading, especially as regards the
Hindu population. Millions of low
caste folk who are not acknowledged
as Hindus at all have been enumer-
ated as Hindus. Now the census COM
missioner has proposed, with a view
to accuracy, that the census takers
should ask certain questions: Do the
members of the caste or TRIBE wor-
ship the great Hindu gods? Are they
allowed to enter Hindu temples or to
make offerings at the shrine? VIII
good Bharmans asst as their priests :?
Will degraded Brahmans do so? Will
clean casts take water from them,
etc, etc. The suggestion has stirred
the Hindus to great excitement. 1t
