Clock of Death Seems
TO Deserve Its Name

BY the stopping OF the famous as
Economical clock of Henry VIII at
Hampton court palace, London, and
the death within a few hours of one
of the palace inmates the ancient
legend surrounding the o'clock of
death" has once more been fulfilled.
Tradition runs that the stopping of
the clock portends the imminent death
Of a palace resident.
These days, for the first time for
many years, the clock stopped. anc
the same night an elderly woman
Miss Jane Cuppage, daughter of Gen
Sir Burke Cuppage, who fought at Wa
terloo-was found dead in her apart
ments, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
An official of the palace said that
twice within his personal knowledge
some one had died a few hours after
the clock stopped.
Made in 1910, the clock registers
the hour of the day, day of the month,
position of the sun, number of days
since the beginning of the year and
high-water mark at London bridge.

Easily Recall Voice
Heard on Telephone

Is a voice a better identification tag
than a face?
Telephone operators say voices are
more easily recognized and they ought
to know-they hear enough of them.
Voices, they assert. are more personal
than faces. Faces may bear resem-
blance, but a voice is distinctly indi-
vidual.
Il find 1t comparatively easy to as
sociate voices with names. although i
do not recognize transient callers"
says a woman who has been private
branch exchange operator for the Phil
adelphia board Of education for more
than six years. In that time she has
f~amiliarized herself with the names
and voices of the entire school admin
fstration staff, most Of the school prin-
cipals and hundreds of school teachers.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women lave kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect 1t.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle imme-
diately. from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this paper.-Advertisement

To her there seemed something dread

day, when there were a million roses
in bloom in the old garden, Mrs. e.
Sewall Rose came to call on Aunt Ell
sic. She was on her way to Sands
Point. the fashionable colony Of a score
of seaside homes two miles away. She
was large. perfumed, beautiful, and
kindly. She kissed Ellen, and called
her Nellie Buckley's girl" and she
told Ellen that she had loved her moth
er. They had been girls together In a
convent boarding school.

said this enchanting visitor, "and Mel
lie was an angel. They had a great

the handsomest horses you ever saw.
Whatever happened. ="
Aunt Elsie said something of specu-
lations; 1t vas all long ago. The Buck
legs were all scattered and dead. She
sighed with sad enjoyment.
The visitor came upon some of FL
lens school work, and asked Ellen
questions. And Ellen told her with
shy eagerness that she had hoped to be
an artist.
Mrs. E. Sewall Rose asked her where
she was going to study.
Aunt Ellen answered this question.
Ellen had no time for ~fooling she was
going TO work they had the boy to
raise, and Father felt that they had
done all that duty required. 1t was
time now for Ellen to realize that life
wasn't all prettiness and play.
She said 1t pleasantly enough, and
the background of the comfortable
home. and pretty Ellen, in her care
fully made gingham, and the plate of
and the decanter of wild
wine were all there to soften 1t.

But a week later Mrs. e. Sewall Rose
wrote to Aunt Elsie, and sent a check
that was to cover all the expenses for
Ellen's first quarter at the Art Stu
dents league. Ellen mounted straight
into paradise. All, how she would
work, how she would advance, how
proud they would all be some day
She fairly rushed into 1t. She was
the most earnest, the most tremblingly
happy, of all the earnest, trembling be-
ginners that fall. And she did succeed.
Her honesty, and her simplicity. and
her pure and fiery ambition, made her
q marked figure In the classes from the
beginning. There were a great many
silly girls in the art classes, and a few
were dark, earnest young Hebrews for
the most part. risen from emigrant
homes; poor. shabby, sometimes
hungry, but making steadily for their
goal. Other boys were there, too,
lounging, unkempt youths, who mean
to get into the newspaper game"
Perhaps two or three times during
the winter Mrs. Rose asked her pro-
tegee to lunch with her. She would
be on q shopping trip, furred. and
scented with v%iolets, and she would
make Ellen order all sorts of expen-
sive dishes. The girl went back to her
work with a flushed face and a dancing
heart.
So two terms, three terms, went by.
And now Ellen was well into a fourth,
and felt herself no nearer q livelihood
than she had been at the END of the
first. How did a woman begin to sup
port herself by art? Some of the boys
did really drift into newspaper offices,
but what they did there seemed to be
errands and answering the telephones
and rushing about town upon uninter-
Investigations, rather than sit
ting at drawing-boards. Ellen could
do that. Nor could she open a

The Shouting Fish

A new. species of fish that is bril-
liantly Illuminated and that makes a
loud shouting noise when chasing
smaller fishes has been discovered in
the waters of Monterey bay, Cal, ac-
cording to DR.. G. w. Greene, of the
University of Missouri. Its ability to
shout, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, is due to the peculiar construc-
tion of its swim bladder, he says. The
noise is produced by gaseous contents
of the bladder.
The fish is said to carry $50 phos-

Ellen Latimer reached the big sta
She went past the paper stand, where
laden men were Shaping down pennies
and rushing on with hardly a percepti-
BILE pause, and where all the pretty
girls in the world were smiling from
the brilliant covers of magazines girls
peeling pumpkins, in demure kitchen
ginghams and girls furred to the eyes,
going to football games with remnants
over their shoulders, for Thanksgiving
was close at hand. She went past
the clock that was watched by so many
patient and eager eyes, and came to
the special gate among a dozen gates
where a red boxed sign showed the
words Express Port Washington
5:22." She had spent the morning, as
usual, at the Art Students league,
but she had deliberately loitered about
the city, all afternoon, in the hope hat
Ellis Thorpe would join her on this
train. Ellen's destination was Port
Washington, a quiet old village at the
terminus OF the line, but Ellis lived at
Douglaston, which was a fashionable
modern colony, four miles nearer New
York.
Ellen did not know him well: they
had been introduced on the train, and
never met elsewhere. Ellis was only
nineteen, still In high school, and the
girl was more than three years older.
They talked only of themselves as
the train tore on its noisy way. Ellen
talked Of her days experiences ut the
Art league, and her starry beauty, and
the flash of Der blue eyes, under the
fur-trimmed hat, and the infectious
gayety of her laugh, lent the dull sub
ject a sudden charm. Young Thorpe
was personal in his replies; his was
the type that renders personalities In
offensive, and Ellen flushed with
amusement and pleasure, and turned
his merciless stare to smile at
her own reflection In the dark car win
dow.
1t was a lovely reflection. The laugh
ing eyes were a deep Irish blue, with
soft shadows and long sooty lashes ac-
.centuating their essential innocence.
The skin had a pure and healthy pal
lor, except on the high cheekbones,
where there was a brilliant touch of
color. and Ellen's mouth was wide, like
her Irish mothers. kindly, humorous,
the thin lips exquisitely red, the big
teeth shining. Her hair was a satiny

yas pretty, but the thought rarely gave
her any pleasure. What was the use
Of mere beauty If n lacked every

Michigan Senator De- nies Charge That All His Own Capital Is In Tax Exempt Secu- rites.
Repeats His Challenge to Secretary for Public De- bate on Whole Subject of Taxation.

Washington, Jan. 1a. - Secretary Mellon was challenged today by Sena- tor Couzens, republican, Michigan, to inform the country how much he would benefit personally from the re- duction of income surtaxes which hs has proposed in his tax revision plan,
 So long as you have entered into the record of my securities" Senator Couzens wrote. will you tell us what your securities are, how much you own of each, and how much you will benefit by the reduction of the sur taxes as proposed by you?"
 The Michigan senator's letter, which is part of long series of communi- cations he has exchanged with Mir. Mellon was made public while the house ways and means committee was winding up a week of hearings on the Mellon plan and was preparing to be- gin its first actual consideration of the various changes In tax lepies proposed.
 Breweries and nistilleries
 Senator Couzens denied that all of his capital is now in tax exempt secu- rites. He declared lie had millions or dollars invested in buildings, real estate and building operations and de- manded to know if this were not moro productive than money invested Fin distilleries and breweries."
 The Michigan senator also reiterat- ed his invitation for public debate with Mir. Mellon on the whole subject of tax reduction.
 He declared that the two funda- mental principles used by the treas ury secretary fin his recommendations for reduction In snrtaxes--that the present surtax is reducing govern- ment revenue and Is diverting money from necessary industrial purposes have evidently been abandoned.
