Adam Goshart, Cobbler," was
printed In large, uneven letters on a
sign-board across the front Of rough
board house in western town.
Adam was justly proud Of his sign,
for his capacity had been severely
tried In forming those rude letters. A
small room at the back of his shop
was shoemaker's home. A dog was
his companion.
With this companion close up at his
side, Adam was huddled over his stove
(for norther was blowing), finish
ing pair of cowboy boots, when his
ear caught a sound at his shop door.
Deafily uncertain, he rose, the dog
barked: "Yes!" The fierce wind took
his breath, but he wheezed out a cheer
full: "Oh, come in. right, sonny" In

Contented with the situation, the
child climbed upon one end Of Adams
bench; soon he had the various lasts
formed into bunch of ponies and was
driving them with a broken quirt he
had in his hand.
Adam loved children, and this child's
fancies kept his deaf ear alert, and

watery eyes she'd tears from laughter.

In Turkey the watch and clock are
extremely rare and big crowd Of
persons could be rounded up on the
street without finding a watch among
them, but the natives have an exceed
ingly ingenious way of approximating
the time and some Of them hit it with
considerable accuracy. They locate
two cardinal points of the compass
and then folding their hands together
in such manner that the forefingers
point upward and in opposite direc-
tons, they observe the shadow cast.
In the morning or evening at certain
known hours one finger or the other
will point directly at the sun. A
comparison of the two shadows will
determine the hours between. Anoth-
er system followed in that country
and some others Of the orient is to
observe the eyes Of cat. Early in
the morning and evening the pupils
are round. At nine and three o'clock.
1t is oval and at noon it consists Of

fasten the shoe for the child, but he,
ever too quick for slow Adam, sprang
upon his back, laughingly calling to
