The Old Clock
Maker
By DOROTHY WHITCoMB

70. 1874. Western Newspaper Union)


The old clockmaker was seated In
his office, his head upon his hands, his
elbows ON his desk, bordering. He &C.
cupied tiny office i'll an old-tashiOned
part of New York, downtown, and he
sat there for a great part of each day
since he came to America fifty years
before, bringing with him the skill OF
twelve generations of Swiss clock
makers. Walser's clocks never varied
by more than five minutes a year.
Great, Old-fashiOned grandfather's
clocks they were, and because the
modern fashion is for cheap and gaudy
things, he sold only to few Old-fash-
Toned customers, and his whole stock
was stored in the small warehouse and
workshop at the back of his office.
And he had driven Ernst, his only
son, his only child. out of his home
! forever. Ernst was the last Of the
| Walsers, and with his action he had
| effectively cut himself Off from all the
| generations that were to come. How
foolish his quarrel had beenl 1t was
| about q girl whom Ernst wanted to
marry, and because he had not told
his father all about 1t old Walser had
taken umbrage.
"Who is she?' he asked angrily.
And Ernst answered that she was a
domestic servant Then the old mans
anger fiared out, for the Walsers
traced their descent from princes and
Walser had mixed so little with his
kind that the old traditions fingered
Old Walser turned to his son.
He pointed to an old clock which
had licked away the hours minute by
minute ever since he had brought II
to America.
Ernst" he said hoarsely, THAT
clock was made by my father for his
serene highness the prince of Lutter
= ling. My father was once engaged Il
+ marry the princes daughter. She died
but the match was never cOnsidere'
UNEQUAL. The Walsers have been
proud old family, though they ar
i clockmakers. And you-yOu-you ar
: going to marry a servant.
$ "Well, marry her. but from this mc
ment you are no longer u Walser.
}. disown you by the memory OF IN
|, father" He pointed still to the time
piece. when that clock, which m
father made In 1888, goes wrong by a
- much as ten minutes In a day, l WI
u ask you to come back to me-" he sail
"Now goi"
~ And Ernst went.
T. The old clock never varied by
much as q minute a day. Its metal
IL choly tick was wearing the old man
e. heart away. He moaned In his misel

II. would have had his son back, serval

A good boy. too-Ernst had alwa

pened. A sudden whirring sound W

THE COMMUNITY'S EYE-SORE.

Long years ago the settlers buried
their loved ones in what is now known
as the old cemetery, Since then, III
wager, not much if anything has been
done for its benefit and towards keep
ing it as holy and sacred as it ought
to be kept The place has gone to
rack, and it is going to go to ruin if
something is not done toward keeping
it as it should be- Tombstones are fall
ing or have fallen, say nothing Of other
delapidated conditions And think Of
the many respected, prominent and hon
citizens of the past now sleeping therein.
Some time ago we were told that a
person could not dig another grave in
the old cemetery without digging into
an old grave, which may be 80. But
the place is an eye-sore rejecting no
credit on the finer senses Of our present
citizens, while it is a spot which should
be held most sacred and 80 kept.
Aldermen People Everybody! can't
you see the need of keeping up that
place which should be so greatly re-
spected?
Wake up Give this some considera-
ton. HIGH SCBooI, STUDENT.
