The Hands of the Clock

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 The hour hand of the clocks seems a .ponderous, deliberate fellow compared with his swift going colleague, who sweeps clear round the circuit while he makes his way painfully over five of the minute spaces from one hour point to the next. Yet though one goes ever so much farther and faster. again and again the minute hand for all his speed, is merely overtaking the patient plodder, who, with his stubby finger, is the real time giver You can not tell from this gyrating minute man alone what time it is. But from the position of the hour hand in solitude you would very nearly know. More- over, except for two times in the whole round of the "A hours-at noon and at midnight-the minute hand, though he races all the way round the orbit finds to his dismay that he starts in creasingly in arrears behind the oth- CT hand, and must overcome an al- ways lengthening handicap. And what is the use of proudly passing and get ting to the goal first, 22 times out of the "A, when the. victory is only ap- parent and not real, since both hands tell the same time after all? And the minutes hand, the racer, is the useless one.

 To L. R. N, wh casks for the family traits of the Newhouse family
 So far as can find there is no state ment as to the Newhouse traits in the family histories. However, 8 high sense of patriotism always seems to be a char acteristic of those of the name. Both in the records of the old English family and in accounts of the family in this coun try they have always been eager to shoul der arms for the cause of liberty.
 To J. R. R., who asks for the meaning of the name Osgood, and a. description and explanation of the coat of arms of the American branch of the family:
 ''Divinely good' is the meaning of Os- good, which is of Saxon origin. Os is God or the Divinity. The word in the Morse tongue is quite similar-"a pro nounced "ouse." Other words derived from os are Osbert, handsome as a god" Ostgood, good host; Osmuna, divine protection;' Oswald divine power" Then there are other forms-Osburn, Os- borne, Osland, Osmore, Ostrom, Ostran- der. Variations of Osgood or Osgoode are Osgot, Osegod and Ossgood. The Latin form is Osgotus. Two old variations of the name are Osgith and Osyth.
 The arms belonging to John Osgood, the Pilgrim first settler, is argent, three garbs, or sheaves of wheat in double treasure fiory counterf1ory, gules. On the esquires helmet. mantled gules. doubled argent, a torce argent and gules thereon a dcmi-lion, rampant, proper, supporting a garb gules. Tn heraldry the garb de- notes plenty, and that the first bearer of the arms did deserve well for his hosp- tality. Another symbolic meaning is that
 the harvest of first hopes had been se- cured" The treasure flory is an emblem slgnifying preservation or protection. It is borne in the arms of Scotland, and the legend is that it was given to Achaius, King of Scotland, by Charlemag gne in or der to signify the Scottish lion. The dou- ble treasure was first assumed by Robert Stuart to testify his approval of the all- ance which he had renewed with Charles of France. The lion has always held a high place in heraldry as an emblem of deathless courage. The helmet denotes wisdom and surety in defense. As to the colors, .gules stands for fortitude, and ar gent, peace and security.

From the Philade1phla Telegraph.
 At a smoker sometime ago reference was made to the matter of favorte topics of conversation.
 One afternoon Brown and Green were communing with each other in the lobby of a hotel when man with his coun-. tenance shining like great gladness head ed their way.

 That's all right responded Green, glancing in the opposite direction Il guess we will be able to fix the thing

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
Ny FRANCES CowLEs. THE CHICKE RING FAMILY

Copyright, 1916 by Mcclure Newspaper
 Syndicate)
 It is probable that all of the Chicker- ings of America are descended from Thomas of WymondhanI, England; but it is probable that they could not all trace their descent through Nathaniel, the first here. Doubtless several other early set tiers of the name were originally from the same Wymondham stock.
 Thomas lived in Wymondham, Norfolk, England, prior to 153S, in the reign of Henry VIII. His wife was Clere Brown and he had son, Stephen, of Wickle- wood, who died in 1o76, having married Anne or Agnes Dey Stephens son was Henry of Wrentham, England, who died in 1874, and their son, Nathaniel, born at Wrentham in 1647, settled in that part of Dedham, Mass, known as Dedham Island.
 Nathaniels first wife was Mary Judson, whom he married in 1868, but she died shortly, leaving no children, and the founder of the family married, in 1874, Lydia Fisher, daughter of Capt. Dan Fisher. This Lydia had been working for three years in the family of the Rev, John Russell of Hadley, Mass, where for year or more she waited upon the regi- cdes, Whalley and Golf, who had fled to this country. In 1894 the Chickering's set tied in the part of Dedham known as Dover, on an estate of a thousand acres, Part of this property is still in the fam fly.
 The children of the first settler oe this family were as follows: Nathaniel, born in 1617, who married Mary Thorp; Lydia, Mary, John, Daniel, and Samuel, who married Mary Harding.
 The name is also known in England as Chckern.
 The coat of arms illustrated is de- scribed: Argent on chevron vert, three cockerels of the first numbered gules ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENT
 To l.. M. F., who asks for ''the Peery coat of arms, with explanation of its sig nificance:"
 The Peery coat of arms is that of the Counts Peery or Peeri of Italy, and is blazoned quarterly: First, or, three pears proper two and one, stems and leaves bent Second, or, five torteaux gules. two. two and one. Third, or, lion gules. Fourth, or, three square mirrors argent, framed gules.
 The absence of crest and motto points to great antiquity for this coat armor
 Then, too it is no small matter to be able to show "quarterngs." The royal emblem, lion, is only granted to him who has performed some service for the crown. Its heraldic significance is death- less courage. Tt is lively image of a great soldier, who must be valiant of courage; strong of body, polite in council, and a foe to fear.''
 To L. T. M, who asks whether there is coat of arms for the Nudge family:
 Yes. It is described in heraldic lan- guage as follows:

Jefferson County Republican Club
Officials i'm Conference
Yesterday.
GOVERNOR Philip is PRAISED.

Yesterday was a big day in repub-
ican circles, not only in Watertown,
but in the entire county, for the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Jefferson
County Republican club met at the
call of President o. c.. Wertheimer
and much business OF Importance was
transacted.
Since the last meeting at Jefferson
two weeks ago Secretary Archie of
Waterloo has been stirring things up.
At the meeting yesterday the out
look for republican victory il the
county was thoroughly discussed, and
all present took a most optimistic
view of the situation.
In the general discussion Governor
Philips action in bringing the con-
yention at Madison last week to an
amicable agreement by advocating the
appointment of ten from each con-
gressional district to set as arbitors
and settle definitely the question of
a United States senatorial candidate
was most heartily endorsed, and reso-
lutions commencing him were unan-
imously adopted and copy forwarded
to him at Madison.
A resolution was also passed that
from this time on until election day
the club intends to make itself felt in
county politics, always, of course,
working in conjunction with the re-
publican county committee.
Another action lan Woc oil Or
Frank P. McAdams to the executive
board to take the place of w. H. Wood
ard who was compelled to decline the
honor owing to the pressure of other
business, and also owing to the fact
that he is now member of other
branches of activity within the party.
The delegates from the south ar
rived at 40 in the forenoon and re-
turned in the evening.
The next meeting will be held in
Jefferson within the next three weeks

GERMAN CLUB ENTERTAINED.
DR.. Bleeck Acts as Host to the Club
on the Kaiser's Birth Anniversary.

Dr. Bleeck of London, Eng, who has
been the guest of friends in Watertown
for some time, entertained the mem
bers OF the German club to the number
of fifty at the Waukesha hotel last
Thursday evening, at a banquet
Dr. Bleeck is a German subject but

the capacity of German government
agent, and when the war broke out he
left the British territory and came to
America and to the home of her wife's
people, who are residents Of Georgia

LEADER FREE TO
PROPOSING BRIDES
County Clerk John +. Welch Not the
Only One Who Can Give
Presents.
WHO WILL JOIN PROCESSION

County Clerk John F. Welch will
iirst couple to appear before him for
license where the young lady pro
posed.
The Leader, nothing loath to help
the cause along, will show liberality
20 the first bride who proposes, is &C
cepted and married during the present
cap year, and who will give the Lea
der her and her husbands address.
To such the Leader will be sent one
year free as wedding present, and we
feel that in so doing we will be max
ing a wedding present. which will be
appreciated by the happy couple.
To the second bride who fulfills the
1bove requirements the Leader will be
sent free for six months.
1t would appear that the offers of
Mr.. Welch and the Leader would move
some Jefferson county young lady to
doubt there are other liberal persons
IN the county who would be willing to
offer inducements to a bridal couple
lnder similar circumstances.
Who will be the next doner?
To assist the ladies who may care
% propose the following may assist:
Propose to a man who has full, but
not too full, lips. He will love you.
Propose to a man who has a good
sized bump at the base of his head.
He's a good family man and loves wife
and home.
If you love man who has a twinkle
in his eye, propose to him. You'll get
him.
If you love man with frank, open
manner, you'll probably get him, too.
