Did you ever take time to consider
the clock7 You should have done so
II you have not, seeing the clock
gives you the time whenever you ask
1t. (No, this is no joke. 1t Is plain
statement of fact)
The clock is so sensitive that 1t
constantly keeps its hands before its
face. This is due to the fact that
through no fault of its own 1t has
been doing time for many years in
the most public manner. 1t may be
that as the face Of the clock has no
eyes. nor mouth. nor nose, nor chin.
nor cheeks, nor any Of the usual ia
cial appurtenances. 1t keeps it's hands
over 1t to hide these defects. But
this can Bcarcely be, we fancy, be-
cause Its hands have no fingers nor
thumbs. nor has It any arms. and
any attempt to conceal one defect
would only expose another.
Most clocks have only two hands,
but many have three, and 1t Is some
what remarkable auatomically as
we'll as numerically, that the third
hand Is the second hand. 1t may
also be remarked that the minute
hand is not the minute hand, for 1t
Is longer than the hour hand.
The clock has neither feet nor
legs, but it runs Just the same. 1t
may be fast or slow. but 1t does not
walk. It always runs. and 1t never
runs up. II runs down unless 1t is
kept running round. Providence
wisely did not give feet to the clock.
The clock has a key, but no lock,
and for that reason even the most
ignorant person never tries to open
clock with the key.
Some clocks strike and some do
not, but no clock ever strikes with
its hands. Just why a clock should
be so peculiar is no affair of ours.
COZ course this is no joke. The
striking of clock may be an affair
of hours, but 1t is not spelled the
same way. We are not trying to be
funny. This is q dignifed article.
Please do not interrupt US again.
That passage in Scripture which
says, ''By their works shall you
know them" does not refer to
clocks, but It might well have done
80, because that Is the way good
clock is known.
The clock speaks universal Ian
guage, and no matter whether 1t is
q German clock, or French or Span
ish or Italian, 1t can tell you the
time Just as distinctly as IL 1t were
plain Yankee.
The clock differs from all other
human affairs In that while their
operations end when they are wound
up, the clocks do not begin until
they are wound up.
There are no clocks In heaven. be-
cause there is no time there. Neither
is there any night. and an eight-day
clock would not know when to stop.

These days when the winds

If she's quiet and grim with d

And moves with a vaguely pre-

Don't send for an alienist clever

Or send her post haste to some
