Talk was a passion with him, de-

WINDING CLOCKS.

One cannot be too particular in
caring for a time piece if she would
have the clock or watch keep good
time In the first place, see to it
that the winding is done at practical
ly the same time each week or dav.
as the case may be. To prevent over
winding it is well to wind the time
piece carefully, counting The number
OF turns necessary. It may seem a
trlfie fussy to those not accustomed
to this %precaution, but it is a bit Of
forethought that pays.

The Same Eighty Years Ago.

Daniel Webster in the Senate
in 1889
There ire persons who con
constantly clamor. They complain
of oppression, speculation and
pernicious influence of accumula-
ted wealth. They cry out loudly
against all banks and corpora
lions and all means by which
small capitalists become united
In order 10 produce important
and beneficial results. They car
ry on mad hostility against all
established institutions. They
would choke the fountain of in
dustry and dry all streams. In
a country of unbounded liberty,
they clamor against oppression.
In a country of perfect equality,
they would move heaven and
earth against privilege and mo-
nopoly. In a country where prop
erty is more evenly divided than
anywhere else, they rend the air
shouting agrarian doctrines. In a
country where wages of labor are
high beyond parallel, they would
teach the laborer that he is but
an oppressed slave.

and Detloff was divesting her OF her
habiliments to the accompaniment of
her screams, when neighbors sent in

What She Took.

The story is too good to be true,
and it seems as if we had heard
something like it in our youth; but
how are we to disbelieve a friend?
1t is told with oaths of a lady and
well, this lady, with party of
friends, dined in downtown restau-
rant, a few nights ago, says The
Cleveland Plain Dealer. The waiter
was large colored person, obliging
and efficient. After this functionary
had cleared the dinner away, he pre-
sented the desert card, and all voted
for French pastry. When the big
platter full of delicious looking
goodies was passed to this lady, she
hesitated in making choice.
Those big white things look nice, .
she said, "but 1 have hardly any ap-
petite left. I'll take this choco-
late eclair."
She reached for the chocolate
eclair, but it wouldn't leave the plate.
She looked at it closely, and then
turned rosy red.
1t was the walters thumb.

OWED FROM AIRSHIP TO SEA.
Was Almost Killed, But Moving Pic
ture Man Caught 1t.

While William Thaw's hydroaero-
plane was flying at about so miles an
hour SO feet above the ocean at Md
land Beach, Staten Island, yesterday
afternoon Rodman Law craWled out
on one of the wings and dived into
the water.
He was falling head first but when
half way down he turned over and
landed in the sea on his back. A
rowboat hastened to his rescue and
picked him out half conscious. He
was taken ashore and sent in an
automobile to the S. R. Smith lnfir-
mary hospital.
The physician who attended Law
said his neck was badly hurt and he
had other injuries. He will probably
recover.
Law got into Thaws hydroaero-
plane at Oakwood Beach, three miles
north of Midland Beach. Steve Mac
Gordon occupied the passenger seat
and as there was no regular accom-
mediation for the third person Law
perched himself on a wing According
to schedule he was to dive to rescue
a drowning girl for moving picture
camera.
BY the time the machine arrived
at the designated spot it was travel
ing very rapidly. Law dived off to
the rear. He said it was the machine S
momentum that made him turn over
in the air. They got the picture all
right.-New York Sun.

WOMEN IN MEDICINE.
Marked Decrease in Number of Fe-
male Students Since 1910.

During the last year there were
$40 women studying medicine, or 80
fewer than last year, decrease OF
40 below 1911 and a decrease Of 36l
below 1910, says The Milwaukee
Free Press The percentage of wo-
men students was rs, as compared
with 50 last year. There were 1o4
women graduates this year, or 3.S
per cent of all graduates.
There has been very marked de-
crease, says The Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association, in the num-
Der of women in medicine since 1910,
when there were 907 women students
and 157 graduates, and in 1909.

Death Blow to Georgia Town.

Jessup, Ga, Oct. 25.-The tile fac
tory that furnished the government
tile at the Panama canal has been
shut down, according to report re-
ceived here today. The factory is
that at Ludowici, near here. 1t is
the plant of the Ludowici Celadon
Tile company. The closing of the
factory will amount almost to a
death blow to the little town of Lu-
dowici.
It is reported that the cause of
the closing of the plant is that the
government orders, for which the
plant was built, have all been filled
and the local business is not enough
to support the plant. The machinery
will be shipped to another point.

Indians and Beef.

Turnabout being fair play, the
Government which for many years
has distributed beef to the Indians
and reservations has decided that the
Indians must now set about growing
beef for the rest of the country. The
Indian reservations are of very
considerable extent, and as the In
dian does not cultivate the land to
any great extent, and as much of it is
admirably suited to grazing, the In
dian commissioner has hit upon the
idea of encouraging the wards Of
the Government" to turn cowboys.
Cattle are already being shipped to
some reservations. In the case of
the Crows, in Montana, a demand
for 5000 head has been put forth
to the contractors The Indian Bu-
reau will take care of the Indian
grazers inasmuch as they are reserva-
ton Indians; will protect them from
the avarice of the white man, and
will see to the marketing of the cat
tie through the reservation offici-
ais. There ought to be something
practical in the idea. The labors of
the grazers are not so exacting as
work on titled land or in any sort
of daily industrial occupation would
be. The reservation Indian will not
be asked to throw off all at once his
indolent habits, and he will not need
all the rennements of civilization in
all the refinements of civilization in
order to succeed. AS an industrial
scheme for the betterment of the
condition of the reservation
Indian, and at the same time increas-
ing to some extent the supply of beef,
the enterprise is evidently one to be
commended.-Man Union.

HE JOKES ABOUT HIS DEATH.
Death Inevitable He is Cheerful as it
Creeps Over Him.

New York, Oct. 23.-At times
Isaac Levy, the clothing merchant
who swallowed four bichloride Of
mercury tablets in his Brooklyn
home Sunday night, jokes about the
death that is slowly creeping over
him. At other times ne is melan-
choly with the realization that he
cant live many more days. He is
cheerful when any member of his
family comes to his bedside in the
Sunshine Sanitarium and Rest Home
at Cropsey avenue and Bay Thirty
fifth street, Bath Beach.
The dying mans home at $685.
Twenty-second avenue, Bath Beach,
is a house of death. His eleven chill
Gren. six of whom are married, were
there yesterday. They admitted
their fathers death was inevitable
and that all they could do was to
wait for it.
1t is believed that Levy may die
tomorrow or the next day, for the
four tablets of the poison he took in
mistake for headache tablets, are
enough to kill four men. He may
live a week or more, but DR.. Jacob
Sarnoff is doubtful.
Levy is Sc years old. For years he
did a big wholesale clothing business
in downtown New York. He had an
Office and seven lofts on Fourth
street for years and many of the
young men who graduated from his
business are now heads of other es-
ta blishments.
Of recent years Mr.. Levy has had
a smaller place of business at %
East Tenth street, for he lost lot
of money in 1907. He used to give a
great deal to charity--to Beth Israel
hospital and to other institutions
and was accounted rich. But he has
made no will since he swallowed the
mercury tablets, said members of
his family yesterday, because he no
longer is rich. He is thirty-thlrd
degree Mason.
Mrs. Levy, gCief-stricken and heart
weary, went 70 her husbands bed
side yesterday.
Don't worry" he told her, and
patted her head. I'm all right. I'll
be out in a few days and over town
again"
But Mrs. Levy knew better and
the dying man must have known he
wasn't telling the truth.
Benjamin Levy, married son,
who lives at 1855 Longfellow ave-
nue.. The Bronx, went to his father
at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon when
Levy had come out of coma into con-
sciousness. The father reached out
his hand to his son.
You haven't got long, they say,
dad," said the son.
"Yes 1 have" replied his father.
Don't worry. I'll be all right in a
few days"
They say you haven't slight
chance"
Don't worry. I'm all right. How's
your boy, Benz"
Fine" replied the son. "Shall l
bring him over.
mo. He might catch cold and get
sick. wouldn't want that to hap
pen on my account"
Besides Benjamin, Mr.. Levy has
four other sons; Louis, Moe William
and David. David, the youngest, is
12 years old. There are six daugh-
ters; Mrs. May Goodman, Mrs. Beat
rice Tauber, Mrs. Ray Levy, Mrs.
Irene Roth and Dorothy and Ger
trude. All except Mrs. Goodman,
who lives in Newburgh, reside in
New York or Brooklyn.
