LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN TIME

lucky Whether Watch Was Regu-

A prominent lawyer tells this tale
of the hills Of Kentucky. He had

forty or fifty miles from the railroad
It was about noon, the lawyer judged,
for his watch had run down and he
could not be exact. But in the midst
of this deep contemplation the law.

MAN TO Be P|T|ED
Born Dissenter Finds Himself
With Few Friends.
Tho World Hesitates to Believe In the
Honesty OF Such an Individual,
Though He May Consider
Himself independent

The born dissenter generally merits
share Of the worlds frowns which
he somehow manages to evade. Per-
haps 1t Is because the world pities
him, and what 1t pities 1t hesitates to
frown upon. But a lively soul abhors
pity as much as 1t does condemnation.
Not the born dissenter, however. II
he abhors anything 1t is the thought
that some day he will miss an oppor-
tunity to exhibit his talent for dis
senting In situation where his ex-
ample would influence others to see
his conception of right He denies
himself tobacco not because he does
not like It, but because he likes to
have his friends believe that he thinks
1t injurious, and has the strength to
do without 1t. In the midst of social
gathering he pleads a business en-
gagement as an excuse for leaving.
He has no business engagement, but
1t pleases him to think that he has Inn
pressed a certain group of persons
with his attention to business, even In
the face OF a pleasant alternative. In
matters Of politics and religion and
other things that do not Immediately
touch his pocketbook, his opinion Is
generally contrary to that of the ma
jority, not because that Is the way he
thinks, but because to be with the ma
1ority Is to be merely one of the mob,
and to admit the possession of intel
lectual attributes hardly above the or
dinary. He calls this independence,
and as often as not he Is admired for
1t. He is also commended for his vir'
tues. They are stern virtues, and he
clings to them successfully. AS mat
ter OF fact, they are negative virtues,
and all Of them involve his penchant
for dissension. He Is good because,
to his way of thinking, the vast ma
jority Of persons are not good. He is,
therefore, different and better, and
this is distinction enough for him. The
only trouble with him Is that he has
frozen the soul out of himself. His
kindness consists In avoiding opportu.
mites to be unkind, and since kind
ness is the greatest of human virtues
he is forced to live frigid existence
in the alleyways Of life, and men pity

Employees liable to injury received

tee, reporting for that body, recon-
mended to the house of representa-
tives that the percentage in favor
of the. injured workmen in Senator
Castles workmen's compensation
bill be reduced once more. The re-
port was adopted.
The bill originally provided that
where death results within six
months after an injury to an en-
ploye. the employer was to pay to the
widow 30 per cent of the deceased S
salary, and if there be children. the
employer to pay go per cent. but if
two or less children, then so per
cent. The senate reduced these fig-
ures by 10 per cent each and the
judiciary committee of the house re-
duced them another 10 per cent each
today. The measure will come up for
third reading tomorrow.
