CLOCK IN A FRYING PAN

In the Third avenue restaurant
there has been for more than 20
years an old clock Oh the wall.
The clock is placed in a frying
pan. The bottom of the pan
forms the face of the clock and
the hours are numbered on oyster
shells fastened to the pan. The
hour and minute hands are fork
and knife.
, Other curious clocks stand in
out-of-the-way corners of tb city.
In a dime museum that used to be
on the Bowery there stood for
many years a huge clock about the
size of the ordinary roll-top desk.
said to have been made by a
cripple with the aid of a fretsaw
and jackknife. This clock was
made of 10000 pieces of wood of
different kinds. 1t had five dials,
showing the time In London, Paris,
Berlin, st. Petersburg and New
York. There were also dials that
indicated the phases of the moon,
orbit of the earth, small figures
representing the Last Supper, the
crucifixion and other Biblical
scenes. The quarters. halves and
hours were struck on small bells
by gnome.like figures, made to
resemble familiar dwarfs in the
Sleepy Hollow scene of Grip Van
Winkle." For many years this
clock was the main feature in the
museum. 1t was later bought by
a club, it is said.-New York

THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY

tomorrow DelnR the annlVefary
of the birth of George Washing
ton, whose fame grows brighter as
the years pass by, it is meet and
proper that the attention Of the
country should be called to his life
and character. In no better way
can We do this than by giving
space to the following article
from Goodwin's Weekly of Febru-
airy 18th:
Next Thursday will come again
the anniversary of the birth of
George Washington.
AS the years advance and recede
the memories of men generally
fade, and while the names O. some
linger on the lips Of men, most
of them cease to awaken any thrill
when they are spoken.
But some men seem 20 be raised
up for special purpose, to these
special interest clirgs, and the
abrasions of time merely b1rnish
them brighter year by year.
Again, now and then, man by
marvellous genius sccu :es for him
self fame that nothing can dim.
George Washington had no
special genius, but that he was
raised up for a special purpose
only a total unbel;ever would
doubt.
His early life was no different
from those of the young men
around him. except that he was
the foremost horseman of them all,
and he understood woodcraft
like an Indian.
Then at the first opportunity he
became soldier and swiftly
gravitated AS by natural selec-
tion-to first place.
General Braddock was sent to
the colonies to head an expnli ton
against the French and Indians in
the country which includes the
headwaters Of the Ohio. Brad
dock was an old-tiIne British
soldier Of the same school as Gin
ton, Howe, BurEoyne and Corn
wallis of that unfortunate class of
which accomplished in such schools
as England provided in thst day,
had reached that point of British
exclusiveness, swell-hes dedness and
obliviousness that the idea tina
there was anything more for them
to learn was ridiculous, and to

mate, would he disqraCeful.
So when Braddock led his COM
mand into the wilderness and
Washington, not liking some indi-
cations which he thcught ne un-
derstood, cautioned Braddc TX, to
60 slow lest he he &mbutcaded,
that officer only crowded on his
command with increasing reckless
ness, until suddenly tie cataclysm
was upon him.
Then the soul Of VVashiDgbton
blazed out. In trying to save the
remnant Of the command, he with
an ute! recklessnens Of courage,
rode over that field until he re-
daeed the chaos to order and drew
out bearing Braddock'r body with
him. That was the first sign that
he was raised up for ONE special
purpose.

third when Cicotte cut loose a wild
heave to the initial sack.
When Capt. Mcbride came to bat In
the second round the crowd gave him
mighty cheer.
Howard Shanks made a neat catch of
Callahan's line drive in the third frame.
Clyde Milan picked one Of Cicotte's
shoots in the third and pulled up at the
hot corner.
Egan called Weaver safe at first In

Walter famed the side in the fourth.
But three hits came between the strike

Buzz" Foster made a weird heave to
Gandil of Callahan's tap in the fifth, and
nothing but a great catch by Chick held
Cal on first.
Some one heaved at Ump. O'Loughlin
for fair, throwing ball from the grand
stand and hitting Silk on the dome.
Yes. Silk was peeved.
Weaver robbed Gandil of a hit in the
eighth when he captured Chicks drive
over second and retired our first sacker
at first.
Fournier hit a grass cutter over second
in the ninth. but Mcbride was on the
job and retired Jacques at first.

final round and missed three.
Dutch Schaefer pulled his low-wire act
in the fifth, much to the delight of the
crowd.
