FL RELOJ

Estaba mug enfermo va; no podfa
mOyerse de la gran butac&, donle sus
hijas lie habfan tornado una suerte
de lecho acumulando un rimerO dc
blandas almohGdas, y ALI permanecfa
el anciaao, quieto, inm0vil, como hun
dido en- un surco de nieve. Las veci-
mas de la casa iban a verle, Y Sc es-
tab&n .allf, calladas, llenas de unci6n,
al ladO de las hijas, cual 81 estlyie
ran en- la iglesia delante de una ina
gen sagrad& dolorida, miranda al
enferInO, que su vez has contempla-
ba con les Ojos inGiferentes, como a
las moscSs nueyas que danzar en- eli
sol de sbril.
Estaba como alertargado, casi no
ola nj vefa Solo conmovfa su alma
moribumdaf la lentG vibraci6n del re-
loj de pared, dIe cuya urna de cristal
parecfan salir aquellos enjambres de
moscas bailGdaras, graves Y acompa-
sadas. Deleitabase el enfermo Oyendo
aquella mGsica sencilla Y mon6tona,
como 81 fuese la melodfa de un lat1d ;
y csda vez que ell timbre del reloj
anunciaba Ia hora, estremecfase como
81 su pnEpio coraz6n cantase aquella
fuga mortal del tempo.
-Estd pendiente del reloj !-decf&n
las hijaS "a las vecinaS-ES 10 unlcO
que le distrae.
Y era verdad. HubiGrase dicho que
el enfermo comprendfa tdlo el valor
de aquella mdquin& que media el
tempo, Y que Ell su humilde GAIA de
MADEIRA Y cristal era mas smtuosa
que una jdya. Parecfa como 81 hui
biese una relaci6n misteriosa entire
ell holnbre y el reloj como 81 mu-
tllamente Sc diesen Y Sc quitasen la
vida. La Gnica distraction del enfer-
mo cifrabase va EN- dar cuerda al re-
lOj; no entendfan de Gquello las hi
jas y el era el epcargadO de operar
aquella transmission de vida en- la ma
qlEilla Las hijas descolgabGn la pc
sada GAIA, Y, teniendola sujeta ell sus
brazos como una criatura, presenta-
bansels al padre, cuyoS detlds sc ami
maban de una maravillosa energfa pa
IA comunic&r nuevo movimiento al
inerte reSOrte. Su cara expreSaba en-
tonces una algeria mistericsa, cllal 81
con aqlel gestO tan sencillo hubiese
reanudstdo la marcha del mundo Y
aseguradose la inmortalidad fuera de

LuegG, el enfermo volvfa q sunrise
en- su acOstumbrado sopor. Su letGr-
90 era a veces tan profundo, q. las hi

Sc a escuchar ell ritmo de su halito,
auScultandole como 81 fuese otrO re-

ALBANY MAYOR IS
IN A POLICE ROW
SUPPOSED FRIENDS ON THE
COMMISSION REFUSE TO
FOLLOW HIS WISHES.

ALBANY. Ga.-Another meeting
of the newly-elected police commits
sion for Albany failed to smooth out
the difference between the commission
and Mayor H. A. Peacock that devel-
oped at previous meeting, when AS
sistant Chief w. E. Whiddon and
three patrolmen were displaced. The
MAYOR insisted that Mr.. Whiddon be
retained; that his services are almost
invaluable to Chief R. S. Wallis, who
was elected December 9th and is yet
more or less unfamiliar with the du-
ties of his office. Julian Wallace, a
brother of Commissioner F. A. Wal
lace, was elected assistant chief, but
resigned and R. d. Foxhall was elect
ed in his place
Mayor Peacock protested in vain
against this action, not so much, he
said, on account of either Wallace or
Foxhal1. but because he was anxious
to retain Whiddon. Members of the
police commission were understood to
be political friends of the mayor when
they were elected at the annual meet
ing of the city council, but this did
not prevent coming up what seems to
be an irreconciliable breach. What
further action by either side, if any,
will be taken has not been announced.

Urged to Again Advertise For Bids
For Erection Dawson Public Building

office authorities were advertising for
bids for new postofice quarters in
Dawson. l have seen both the post
Office department. and the treasury de-
partment, and they advise me that
whether the government retains its
present postofice in Dawson or en-
tiers into a new lease will have no
bearing or effect whatever on when
the new Dawson postoffice building is
commenced. In all leases for post
office quarters the government re-
serves the right to cancel the lease at
any time"
Mr.. Crisp says he has again seen
the supervising architect and urged
him to again advertise for bids for the
Dawson building. He left with the
architect the petition sent him, and he
promised to have the matter investigat-
ed and if he reached the conclusion
there was a likelihood OF bid being
submitted within the amount OF the
appropriation he would again adver-
tise for bids.

POPE BENEDICT XIV
DIES OF PNEUMONIA
PONTIFF'S LIFE CORD SNAPP
ED AS SABBATH DAMNED.
CROWDS SURROUND HIM.

ROME.-Pope Benedict XIV died
Sunday morning at 6 o'clock after an
illness of week with pneumonia.
Throughout the day great crowds
gathered around the Vatican, and a
double row of royal guards took up
positions in the outskirts of St. Peters,
forming a passageway for diplomatic
Representatives, prelates and other not
able personages constantly arriving.
During all the hours of his suffer-
ing the Pope never relinquished his
affability toward those OF his house
hold who attended him, smiling, even
bantering the doctors, and recognizing
and approaching every attention from
his visitors. On his bed of pain the
pontiff seemed a figure of imposing
moral grandeur.
What a man, what Pope" have
been common expressions OF admira-
ton.
Began Pontihcate in 1914.
Pope Benedict XIV, the 259th sue
cessor of St. Peter as supreme head
of the Roman Catholic church, began
his pontihcate on September 9, 1914,
soon after Europe entered upon its
four years of war. Upon many occa-
sions during the war he endeavored
to bring the belligerent nations to
peace agreement.
The war between Italy and Austria,
in both of which people OF the Cathollc
religion predominant, was particularly
great sorrow to the Pope. Those
near to him said he deprecated the
German violation of Belgium. When
the Lusitania was sunk he telegraphed
to the then Emperor William his abb
horrence of a deed which had shock
ed the world.
The successor of Plus X was said
TO have combined the craftsmanship
OF Pope Leo XIII with the grace OF
his immediate predecessor. He endeav-
ored. it is said, to carry out the ideals
and policies of those two great church
men. But the world war, which broke
the heart OF Plus X, saddened the t1rst
four years of his pontitlcate:
One of the incidents Of his pontiti-
cal career was the visit which Presl-
dent Wilson paid to him on January
a. 1919, when the president went to
Rome prior to the opening OF the
peace conference at Paris. Social and
treaty questions were discussed, it is
said. during the private audience at
the conclusion of which Pope Benedict
presented TO his guest a handsome
mosaic reproducing Guido Reni's ia
nous picture of Saint Peter, valued at
$40,000

EFFICIENCY RECORD
is SET BY CENTRAL
TRAINS ARE RUN ON TIME
AND LOSS AND DAMAGE TO
FREIGHT IS SMALL.

The Central of Georgia during the
year 1921 made what is probably the
best record of any railway OF its size
in America. in the handling OF freight
so as to prevent loss and damage. The
claims paid during the past year
amounted to shade less than l per
cent OF the total freight earnings OF
the road. The average amount paid
out on this account is between and
3 per cent of the freight earnings.
Another remarkable record made by
the Central during 1921 was in the
operation OF passenger trains. Vi an
trains operated during the year 49,
per cent reached their destination on
time. The line operated 33,899 trans
on its two thousand miles OF line. VI
this number 33,456 ran to schedule:
The above percentage eXcels that OF
the preceding year, when 95 per cent
of trains were run on time. Probably
no class l railway in America can
equal this record, while the record OF
ali railways, compiled by the United
States railway administration Tor tour
months of the year 1919, showed an
average of SO per cent. The efficient
manner in which the schedules were
maintained have been the cause OF
much favorable comment from the
travelling public.
Another report shows that personal
injury to passengers and employees
during the past year have been very
small, the claims department having
paid out $150,000 less on this account
than during the preceding year.
The fuel economy campaign which
was carried on by all the Central lines
achieved remarkable results, and It
was shown that the sum OF S4OO,OO0
was saved on this item. The Central
of Georgia ranks first among the rail-
WAYS of the south for fuel economy.

HARDING'S EFFICIENCY PRO
GRAM AT CAPITAL MEETS
WITH MUCH DISFAVOR.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Wi d e
spread opposition in congress has fore
ed halt in President Harding's plan
for recognizing governmental depart
ments on a more logical and efficient
basis.
Plans were to have been submitted
to the cabinet last week by Walter F.
Brown, President Harding's personal
representative on the joint reorganlza-
ton commission, but opposition with
in the cabinet OF certain OF Brown
proposals has been so strong as to dis
courage an effort to push them
through at once.
The most serious opposition to re-
Organization is found in congress,
where every department and bureau
head has at least a handful OF active
friends fighting for him.
President Harding has not abandon
ed his hope OF recognizing the m
Vulnerable bureaus in a more orderly
fashion, but he has admitted his dis
appointment at the set-backs encoun-
tered.
Almost every change proposed by
Brown has aroused an attack from
some quarters. Just now one OF the
most aggressive attacks is on the plan
to consolidate the army and navy de-
partments in a department OF national
defense, and to abolish the department
of labor by merging it into a depart
ment of public welfare.
