TlCKeD sEVENTT-FIVE YEARS
Clock Made Long Ago in Ireland With
Wheels of Wood still keePs
Good Time.

For three generations an old grand
'ather's clock owrcn by w. Nash Of
26l9 East Eighteenth street has count
I'd off the seconds according to Kan
sas City correspondent of the New
York World
Seventy-fve years ago the mother
If Mr. Nash, then q young girl, sent
back to her old home In County Ty-
rome, Ireland, for some things for her
new home. She was to marry an
irish lad she had met in the new coln-
try.
Most important OF her orders was
one for a clock to be made especially
for her
There is an old clockmaker at
home" she told her sweetheart,
whose clocks are the finest to be
had. His name is Jonathan Frost and
his clocks, they ray, will last forever"
The clock came at last. 1t was in
case of cherry wood. grand to be-
hold. But its most interesting part,
at least to our modern eyes, is the
works.
The wheel. with one exception, are
Of wood So carefully were they
carved and of such fine. hard wood
were they made, that today the old
clock still keeps almost perfect time.
There Is one small brass wheel in the
case
Only twice has It ever had to be re-
paired-and then thorough cleaning
was all that was necessary, In 1853
1t was sent to a clock repairer, l..
Reicht. in Platte City, Mo. And 30
years later, in 1909, 1t was sent again
to him. Although he was then an old
man, his hands we're still skilled in
the repairing of delicate machinery.
However, the old clock was once
more merely in need of cleaning, and
it was soon sent back to the home OF
Mr.. Nash. where It is now ticking as
cheerfully as ever. There is no indi'
cation that 1t will cease soon. 1t re.
quires winding every 2i hours. There
Is also an alarm. which Is as good as
ever. The clock has outlived it's first
owner by many years, as well as a
number OF others in the family.

D. F. Cahill has become con-
vert to the advantages of liberal
advertising. He has built up a
good healthy trade by the proper
treatment of his customers first,
by keeping highclass goods at
right prices second, and by using
a liberal amount of printers ink
thirdly. 1t is actually funny to
hear man who pretends to be a
shrewd and successful business
man say lit doesn't pay to ad-
vertise" when he has never tried
it enough to know. If it does
not pay to advertise why ever
make a struggle in the business
world? Why not set your craft
afoat and just let it drift? No,
no sane man does that. He wants
people to know he's in business,
if it don't cost him anything to
speak of, but he relies mostly on
his own personality and on his
goods to bring him success-and
some men are reasonably sue
cessful even so. but how much
greater successes they might be-
come by advertising week in and
week out, attracting the public
gaze all the time. If advertising
doesn't pay, then why do men
pay double and thribble the rent
for locations which place them in
the public eye? That is the true
principle of business to attract
the public eye. The basic princi-
pie of the commercial world
is founded upon advertising. We
challenge the merchant who says
it does not pay to allow us to ad-
vertise that he is giving away
mems $l2.suits with every $1.OO
purchase. If it does not pay,
you should not be afraid of it
hurting. Are yon game?-Come

War Weary.

The obligation that rests upon
decent newspapers to tell the
truth is ever a sacred and a re
sponsible one. At no time should
it be more honored in observance
than during the continuation of
the tragedy that is being enact
ed upon the European continent.
A period like the present stiff
ems the demand for qeracity made
by a pnblic that takes journalism
seriously.
Right minded people have
wearied of the unending process
sion of tales of horror, cruelty
and destruction. They are eager
even anxious, to address them
selves to the constructive policies
of peace. The distorted perspec-
tive presented them by many
newspapers gives them just Oh
fense. The plain truth is. the
reading public is sick and tired
of the monotony of the war diet
served up to them.
Yet how many sensational
newspapers disregard their duty
to their readers, and careless Of
their obligation. deliberately in
vent horrors for the sole purpose
of clsiming supremacy in the
publication of exclusive news.
Never in the history of the
newspaper has there been such
a demand for truth; yet never in
the history Of the newspaper has
Truth been so carelessly handled.
No wonder the reading public
is weary of war news"
So are we.

German Mine Sweeper Is Sunk

Toxic. Oct. 3-The Chinese govern
ment has again protested against the
japanese occupation of the railway sta
ton at Wei-FIsien. 1t is understood that
the Japanese take the position that the
occupation of the entire line from Using
Tau to Tsi-Nan is a necessary measure
of war for the reason that otherwise
the railway will be used to transport
German supplies to Using Tau.
Toxic, Oct. Am official announce
ment says another German mine sweep

after striking a mine. The casualties
are given as four killed and nine
wounded.

Paris. Oct. 3-The most awful car

the battle region east and northeast of
Paris with countless thousands OF rot

corpses and disembowled carcasses Of
horses. The vast battlefield between
the Marine and khe Aisne shows evil

So unspeakably horrible is the
scene that it is probably principally
with the object of preventing descrip-

whole world shudder that the French
military chiefs so vigorously exclude
war correspondents from the region.
At an amazingly short distance from
Paris, six days after the fighting, dead
bodies are piled on the roadside in
heaps, at the side Of which stands a
soldier with bayonet fixed. Further
out bodies lie in all conceivable posi-
tions in bitches and fields.

Petrograd, Oct. S-The war office
declares that with the Germans in full
retreat from the vicinity OF Niemen
and from the province of Suvallki, the
original first. plan of the Russian gem
eral staff has been successfully car
ried out. The plan provided that the
Russian right wing was to crush the
Germans, the left wing to crush the
Austrians and then all were to he
combined for q general offense move
ment, which would compel the Ger
mans to accept battle southwest of tho
Polish frontier and at a point nearest
to Berlin.
As . consequence, the million Rus
sian troops that have been held in
reserve in the mobilization center at
Warsaw have begun their advance.
They have aiready forced the Germans
to withdraw from the vicinity OF LODI
and kalish and are now driving the
entire German line toward the Cracow
battle line.
The highest military authorities de-
clare that q Russian victory In the
battle now beginning will force Ger

London, Oct. 3-Though the German
right is less than so miles from the
Belgian frontier, never since the out
break of the war apparently, have the
people of Great Britain been more rec
onciled to the idea that the struggle
!, t. to come will be long and terrible.
When the Germans first began to re-
treat after their rush toward Paris
hope ran high that some master stroke
would bring complete route to the IN
vaders. however, many observers en-
phas size that even should the so called
battle line be terminated the Germans
would only fall back on equally strong
entertainments. There is nothing from
the French battle line this morning to
indicate a marked change in the situa-
ton. The fiercest fight apparently still
centers on that part of the battle line
stretching due north for about 40 miles
in an almost straight line from Roye.

the Russian advance.
The general staff specifies Russian

miles from Cracow. The Germans have
abandoned the bombardment of for
tress Of Ossowiec and are suffering con-
siderably in d hurried retreat. The
Russian embassy in Rome furnishes
details Of the disaster to the German
offensive in Suwalki and LODI prov
fnces The Germans have lost 10000
killed and 10000 prisoners. They were
so thoroughly beaten near Suwalki. Os-
trovitz and other towns that they fled.
The Russian advance through Hun
gary is amazingly rapid. The Russian
army now sweeping across Hungary
may take Budapest without having to
strike blow. The Stockholm Journal
declares that the Russians are already
virtually masters of the city of Buda-
pest. This newspaper accounts for the
Russian victories by saying the Rus
sian artillery has proved more effec-
guns.
The operations along the whole Ger
man frontier from Koenigsburg to Cra
COW indicate a German setback. Four
large armies attempting to penetrate
Russian territory have been hurled
back. while the Russians maintain
their advance against Cracow. Little
detailed news is divulged concerning
the campaign in Galicia. This points
to important events now taking place
near Cracow. 1t is probable that the
Russian army in Galicia is already in
collision with an immense German Aus
TRAN force assembled in northeast Ga
licia and southwest Poland to defend
SiIesia.

Bourse Gazette of Petrograd. says all
operations point to Cracow and south
eastern Silesia as the coming theater of
conflict. General Won Hinderburg, the

Germans concentrated in that region.
