Whv Clocks Get Out Of Order.

The reason why mantelpiece clocks
SO often get out Of order Is SO obvious
that It is strange that attention to 1t
has not been drawn before. A London
clockmaker said:
ut is because mantelpieees are rare
" level. II a clock meant for man
telpiece is not placed In an exactly
horizontal position It is sure to go
wrong. When the clock gains or loses
because Of its sianting position people
regularly move the hands forward or
backward. as the case may be, in or
der to adjust It. Eventually the clocks
hands are moved about so much that
the mechanism gets out Of order and
the clock refuses even to tick. Watches
and travelling clocks are constructed
differently from the stationary clock,
and they will go in any position. That
is why they are relied upon more than
the ornamental mantelpiece clock

Hours Extended For Unloading
Cars.

1t will be of interest to our readers in
the rural sections to know that Chair
man Phillip D. Laird. of the Public Ser
vice Com mission. hanced down an opin-
ion in the long fought demurrage case
last week, ordering that free time for
loading and unloading cars in the counties
he extended to 90 hours. Il is provided,
however. that where consignments are to
persons in villages and towns located on
railroads where delivery can be made, the
as hour free period may be applied. The
fight for the longer free time has been
fought by the farmers in the State since
the Legislature Of 1910 AT that time a
bin was passed making the extension, but
Governor Crothers withheld his signature
because the matter was under the juris.
Hdiction of the Public Service Commission
which had been enacted at the same SEES
sion. No action was taken by the Com
mission in the first two years of its exis-
tence and at the last session Of the Leeis-
lature the commission was severely critiz-
ed for its inaction. In his opinion Chair
man Lair said in part:
1T was brought out at the hearings
that the cars now used by the railroads
are much larger than thetypes in use at
the time the as hour rule was adopted
and that it was often impossible to un-
load cars within the specified time. ow-
ing to the length. of the wagon haul and
the difficulty in getting extra teams in a
neighborhood where everyone is engaged
in the same business and has instant use
for his horses and wagons
III is true that the railroad companies
are not responsible for the location OF the
farmers and no special burden should be
imposed upon them. But not only has
the size of cars been increased since the
free-time demurrage rule was adopted,
the commodities required in agricultural
operations have increased and the pro-
duce which the farmers ship is largely in
excess Of what it was years ago The
railroads have profted by the increased
traffic in both directions and the farmers
interests should be thought of .

discharged. and that the object of the
assault was revenge.
Mr.. FJckling was returning home
when he was attacked. He got off of
Capital Traction car at Calvert
street and Adams Mill road and start
ed through the alley.
AS he reached the gate, the colored
man stepped up and struck him a ter
rife blow between the shoulders, knock
ing him to the ground. Although stun
ned for an instant, Mr.. FickIing man
aged 10 get to his feet, and in the al
tercation that followed. got the better
of his assailant.
Mr. Fickling described the marauder
as powerfully-bu!lt man more than
six feet tall, and weighing nearly 300
pounds. He was roughly dressed in an
old suit Of dark clothes, and had on a
