HENRY'S WATCH.
But first about my watch.


My watch was handsome. gold
bunting cased Bartlett which was a
perfect timekeeper, my constant com
paniOn, and all that a good watch
should be. During the seven years
that | had possessed it not a cent had
ever been needed for repairs. When
any one asked for the correct time in
a group where l CHANGED to be, there
might be various announcements
made. Two or three men might draw
out their watches with pride and GER
tainty and give the readings. A very
cautious man might say the time was
sO-and-so, but his watch was half a
minute slow
But there was one announcement
always right, that needed no reVisions
or calculations about slowneSs or fast
ness. Whatever time my watch an
nounced, that was the time.
1t was not my custom to brag about
this. | am reciting it, now, years
afterward reminiscently, merely as an
historical relation In those days
simply announced the time. Eventu-
ally everybody learned that the watch
| carried was always correct.
A watch is part of doctors outfit.
No patient seems to feel that the
precise conventions have been OBJ
served unless the doctor looks at the
patients tongue, feels the patients
pulse, and, for a period OF anXiOusly-
endured time, looks fiXedly at his
watch Everybody knows that the ex-
perienced doctor has certain motion
peculiar to his craft as he slips the
watch back into his pocket. There is
a professional method of doing it,
which goes with the doctors accom-
plishments. And, somehow, these
little motions and mannerisms affect
many patients and, in way, help to
determine their impression of the doc
tor All patients are not thus affected,
but there are some very easily i'm
pressed by manner
There was a doctor downtown who
had head like Shakespeare, and
full and finely proportioned beard. He
was large and wore eyeglasses. Even
the children on the streets who did
not know his name, looked after him
in awe and admiration and said, loudly
enough-they hoped for him to hear:
That's a doctor
He filled the mental expectations
completely when he came into the
sickroom He put down his hat i'm
pressively. He stroked his beard
wisely. He moved towards the bed
in a confident, learned manner. He
invariably had every woman in the
house attending to him, or trying to
attend to him, in moment. They
were interrupting each other, offering
him a chair, suggesting some other
and better place for hat rendering
him a fan or a glass of cold water,
if the weather was hot; or, if it was
cold, suggesting that he warm him.
self, or urging him to sit nearer to the
fire for minute.
He looked the doctor all over. But
he was a ponderous ignoramus in
medicine. He could talk learnedly
about Poe, Hawthorne, the Darwinian
theory, cosmogony and ancient poets.
He was versed in stocks, in politics
and in a variety of learning. But he
did not know enough about medicine
to enable him to be a successful prac-
titioner. He was always calling in
his confreres upon trivial cases which
needed no consultant. and, in time,
all the advantages that his personal
appearance gave him came to nought.

New York, May 4.-The latest de-
velopment in the turmoil over Sum

Hampstead of the Giants, President
Rupert of the Yankees, President
Ebbets and Vice-President Ed Nc
Keever of Brooklyn, President Baker

ness manager of the Harrison park,
the local magnates decided it was for
the best interest of the game in this
city not to play Sunday games in
jersey.
Accordingly Ebbets sent the follow
ing telegram to Chairman Herrmann
in Chicago, and President Tener Of
the National league, in Pittsburg:
I'm conference with Hampstead and
Rupert today, we deem it inadVisable
to play game at Harrison next Sum-
day as advertised in todays papers,
pending later consideration of the
subject

$4,000 sent him by President Farrell
of the New International does not
cancel the InternationaFs debt to tn ,
major leagues. Hermann declares
there still is an unpaid debt of $500.
