The Postoffice clock, at Eleventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, went to work at 10 o'clock
this morning, after a layon that last
ed nearly twenty-four hours.

simply tired" When a clock gets
tired, II needs adjustment. So the
men frightened up the balance weight,
oiled the cogs, and peeped around in
the works to discover the bird nest
that some wag declared was the
cause OF the whole trouble. Then they
started II and IT was still running
late this afternoon.
The clock went on a strike yester-
day afternoon at 800 o'clock. II was
too late to fix II before night, so the
big timepiece had a nice day OF.
1t Is expected to run without trou-
BILE for another long spell-but not

Teachers Examination.

The next state examination for
teachers will be held March 80
and 81.
As this is the last examination
until the middle of July, it will
be necessary for all teachers who
expect to teach in this county,
to take this examination.
No teacher can legally receive
pay for teaching, who has no con-
tract with the County Board of
Education. The Board cannot
sign a contract with a teacher
who has no certificate. The law
fixes a fine for the violation of
these regulations.
All applicants taking the ex-
animation, to receive a certificate
must take the entire examination.
This includes the Reading Circle.
Holders of five years, of perman-
ent certificate, in lieu of the ex-
animation in the Reading Circle,
may attend a term at some ac-
credited school. In this work
at least one course in education
must be accreditably done. This
is the instruction of the state
superintendent.

LOWER BILLTOWN, U. S. A.

Several have spoken pro and
con Of the repeal of the Bowers
Bill
Whether or not we shall jolt
the criminal out of this low vale
into Beulah land. AS so many
have spoken I'll also take a shot,
hit or miss.
The state madea mistake when
it grabbed a cake of wash-tub
soap and washed its hands of
criminal blood, and went out of
the killing business. This world
has never had a big population of
saints. Not enough to nibble
up the sacrament bread. But
sinners so thick they have to be
weeded out and thinned. 1t has
ever been the case.
The tramp and bleat of the
black sheep has been heard in
every age and almost every fam
lily. Every generation is about
six and a half dozen.
A many a.time has the good
Lord had to dash down the knock
out drops, He dashed down fire
through the clouds on Sodom and
Gomorrah. And the old lady Lot
was fixed in a twinkle to sprinkle
down on tomatoes, rich, ripe and
rare. He got busy one damp
time and strangled every living
soul but eight. That is His way.
They got too gay, and He came
near killing the whole bunch.
Another time Pharaoh kept
monkeying around. He and the
Lord never could gee. And
believe me child, Pharaoh turned
his wolf loose and said good bye
with his mouth full of Red sea
brine. The good Lord sure got
his goat.
Then come Annanias and Sap
hira, and there never were two
bigger liars. They got them in
the neck and went glimmering.
These were only a few of His
mixups. Time would fail me to
speak of all. They reach on ad.
