A CLOCK WITH
A HISTORY
A Relic Of Revolutionary Times is
Now The Valued Souvenir
Of a Marion Citizen.

The oldest clock in Crittenden
county, perhaps-a time-piece,
that has licked out minute after
minute, hour after hour and
measured the allotted days of
generation after generation, lis
now the property of Deputy Sher-
iff John T. Pickens, of this city.
The clock was originally owned
by William G. Dickens, who was
a soldier of the Revolutionary
War, serving under the COM
mand of General George Wash
ington. Mr.. Pickens was a ma
tive of South Carolina, but after
the close of the war of the Rev.
olution he came to Kentucky,
married a Miss Caldwell. settled
in Crittenden county on what is
now known as the William Lewis
farm, on Claylick creek, reared
his family and died at an old age
in 1874.
He had five children, John A.
Pickens, who was the grand
father of John T., A. j., Joel A.
c., ]. A. Pickens. Mesdames A.
A. and Eliza Deboe. All of this
county; Ebenezar who never
married; William w., Isreal H.,
who was the father of Richard
E. Pickens, Of this city; Nelly.
who married James Calhoun, a
relative of John C. Calhoun, the
South Carolina statesman, and
afterwards lived in Paducah;
Handy, the youngest child, who
married Miss Annie Stewart and
emigrated to Arkansas.
In 1888 the clock, which belong
ed to William G. Pickens, great
grandfather of John T., was
sold at a public sale and pur-
chased by DR.. Mickleberry Bris-
toe, who lived near Weston, and
who kept it until he died, when
it became the property of his
son. Ira Bristoe, who, at his
death, requested that the clock
be given to John T. Pickens. 1t
was transferred from the Bristoe
residence to the home of the
deputy sheriff, where it may be
both seen and heard at all hours,
day or night. 1t is quite large
piece of furniture, as clocks go,
standing about six feet in height.
Its casing, it's face and its hands
are all of wood, as are likewise
its wheels. 1t stands there grim
and tall and complacent, as
though it of course was ready
and competent to go on ticking
and pointing out the time of day
to present and future genera
tions of Pickenses. as they live,
move, have their being and
pass away.

And when you come to think
about it, that isn't so bad. Far

much in cash as was paid them
by the Trusts in the days before

 The axoms given by Euclid accepted as sef-evident truths but they positive ly certain than the maxms forth by Christ, the greatest teacher the world has known When he said Give and it shall be given you" and Whatsoever man soweth that shall he also reap" he proclaimed principles that pervade all laws both material and spiritual, and apply every realm of universal domain.
 There is nothing magical in the workings of nature. everything is controlled by deeds are seeds, give them time and they will bear fruit. If the deed is good the fruit will be happiness if bad the reward is misery. The farmer gives the seed nature returns the sheaf Under the law of spiritual harvest the good the evil, selfish the unselfish. all give and all receive in like quality
 If We would know the scholars joy. we must pay the price of hours of study if would have the inventors reward must like Watt, stephen son, Edison, give ourselves intensely to idea.

The Worship of Saint Valentine

There was a confusion of holidays yesterday their delverance a day from educational bondage to a celebration in honor of Saint Valentine. In consequence they love the good saint more than ever.
 By them Saint Valentine is better remembered than the precise of the admission of Arizona to statehood that for the holiday the saint gets more credit than he deserves
 This mistake of the children furnishes a pos sble solution of a thing that has never been ex- plained-the worship of many entirely different classes offered Saint Valentine. possibly amiss; it may have been really intended for other objects of adoration and was some way side-tracked to the saint who seems have fallen into the habit ot anassine everything that has in his direction, just as he in this instance acquired the grau- tude of the Phoenix school children through mis- apprehension
 It is reasonably clear how Saint Valentine has become at the same time the patron saint ol lovers pirates sailors, travellers robbers and chl- dren.
 We know that at least of the religious rites ip honor of Saint Valentine was originally de- signed for him,-the pleasant practice of sending tender love messages and ridiculous and insulting pict1res on Saint Valentines day. That practice IS descended from early rite in connection "l'h the worship of Juno.

"The Progressive Service"

Of the four chief divisions of the national pro- gressive party the of the imme diate inn portance is that known the Progressive Service ' whose work is outlined in q recent bulletin. It's field is legislation education, for the spread of the knowledge of progressive principles.
 The Progressive Service is distinct from the political organization which relates only to condi- dates and the election machinery, but the service supplements the work of the organization. and in some cases, may pave the way One purpose of the service is to bring states and communities together by the establishing of a common standard. An opportunity is afforded by this division all the people men and women voters and non-voters to work for the advancement of progressive doc trines
 In short, the bulletin states: Tt constitutes a clearing house for the states in matters mon effort legislation, organization. propaganda and in all matters of interest to the pro- gressive movement furnishing a prompt able and effective way of getting the people all working together in the efficient way realize their ideals and keep their promises"
 Mention is made the work of the legislative reference bureau which belongs to this division Its object is dual one to secure the enactment fo progressive ideas into state and national laws and to prevent the enactment of improper legislation On this subject the bulletin declares:
 There certain dangers facing the party in
  ators but there is danger of the introduction of amateur blls based upon fragmentary erroneous information; there is danger of too big a program being undertaken by minority; there is danger that this small army is not equipped to fight bad bills, introduced by opponents; there danger that terms of the contract, (wth the people), may he lost sight of in the press of legislation; there is danger that many legislators, knowing not where to turn for information or help, miss oppor- tunity for service may make a blunder, costly to the people
 The bulletin outlines the precautions which the bureau of reference has taken against these dangers by maintaining a directory of national and state sis of the legislation prepared by the progressive legislative committee; by the collection of pending progressive legislation; by the preparation of bills to be introduced in congress according a program arranged with the progressive members; by the preparation of minimum standards for state legis- latiOn and by the maintenance of a representative in charge progressive legislation during the sOns of congress.

This theory fits in with the of the English steamer and the story of the floating tins told by the captain of the Algerian coaster. It is marked that the mysterious submarine must have been crossing the line between Marseiles and Bona the time when the French mail steamer Marie Augustin sank after collision the circumstances of which still inexplicable.
