ley, what time do
you think it is?"
Mrs. Hawley de-
manded from the
depths of the bed-
room.
Hawley pulled
out his watch.
"Bet I've looked
at that watch 50
times since I
found the main-
^ring broken on the way home to-
;ht," he said, keeping a thumb be-
[reen the leaves of his book. "Oh, I
jnow—not late."
ak at this!" She appeared in
doorway holding up a small
Sonze clock, whose hands were point-
to quarter past 12.
'That isn't right," he protested.
'But it is. I asked the telephone
girl for the correct time before I
at; rted it this afternoon. Why, I just

nute this evening and I must have
[opped off and slept all this time.
,ve you been reading ever since I
nt into the bedroom?"
["Why, yes—unless I've been asleep
my chair. I would have sworn it
,sn't later than ten."
And we were going to bed early to-
;ht so you could get a good start in
morning! Isn't it ridiculous?
me on, now. Don't read any more."
s. Hawley began to bustle about,
tening windows and turning off
hts.
I'll set the alarm for seven," she
d. 'I don't see how we could stand
fto get up at six now. Come, hurry,
will be one o'clock before we're
peep."
Phey were just dozing off when a
lind from the apartment overhead
fde Mrs. Hawley sit up in bed.
I'What do you think of that?" she
claimed, indignantly. "That man up-
lirs is playing ragtime at one o'clock
Ithe morning."

Just now and I smell the coffee. At
two o'clock in the morning! And lis-
ten! That nice-appearing Mr. Hess
has just come in—nowf Brown, we're
certainly not obliged to endure such
performances until this time in the
morning—not in a respectable build-
ing. I shall complain to the agent to-
morrow."
It seemed to the Hawleys thait they
had just closed their eyes when the
ring of the alarm clock startled them.
"You made a mistake setting it,"
Hawley declared, lighting a mateto to
investigate. "No, sir," he added, in am
aggrieved tone. "It's actually seven
o'clock. Raining, too, and dark as a
pocket."
Mrs. Hawley rubbed her eyes and:
accepted her fate courageously. Wltfti
all the lights on to make the dark;
morning more cheerful, she flew
about and had breakfast on the table'
in short order.
"Everybody except us seems to have
overslept this dark morning," she re-
marked, complacently, as they sat
down. "The building is perfectly still.
The milkman's late again, too, but
luckily I had some cream left over.
I'm out of all patience with him. If it
happens again I'll change."
"There he comes now," said Haw-
ley. "I'll give him a breeze myself."
Five minutes later an injured-look-
ing man came back to his place at the
table. "Mrs. Hawley," he demanded,
"what time yesterday did you set that
wonderful clock?"
"What do you mean? I didn't set It.
I started it at half past three. And!
the funny part was that it happened
to have stopped at the exact minute
the telephone girl told me the time, so
I just wound it without touching the
hands."
"And didn't look at it again?"
"Not until night. Mary Bartell was
her6 and I went by her watch. Why?"
He knitted his brows. Then he
looked up solemnly. "You started it
with the hands at quarter past six,
thinking it was half past three, and
you hustled me- off to bed at half past
nine. And it is now five o'clock in
the morning.
As he was starting for his office at
eight o'clock, still grumpy, she called
him back to the door.
"It's important," she told him, as he
came reluctantly up the stairs again.
"I wanted to ask if you aren't glad we
found out our mistake before I com-
plained to the agent?"
"Pshaw! You've made me miss my
train for that," was all he said.
But, though it sounded cross, she
went back into her flat satisfied. As
he turned the corner of the stairway
going down she had caught him smil-
ing.

A Bird's Beak-..
A rostrum, as you all know, fs a plat-
form for public speakers. Did you
ever hear how the name originated?
It's; rather a queer story. In ffhe days
©t old Rome it was the- custom to
fashion the bow of a war vessel like
the beak of a bird, and one of these
bows taken from a ship captured by
the Romans, was brought to the city
as a trophy and placed In the Forum,
where it was subsequently used by
speakers when they addressed the peo-
ple.
Serious
CHARGE
O. P. Ward n real estate dealer who
linn nn office at 115Ms W. Main utreet,
uits arrented Inst night by Deputy
Sheriff J. 11. Smith, charged with "eiiiu-
mlttlng an act which openly outraged
public decency and Injurious to public
morals."
The complaint was sworn out before
Judge Harper in the probate court by
Mrs. Marie Strauss, and the date of
the alleged offense is given therin as
July 8th.
Upon the above date, it Is stated that
Mrs. Strauss went with Ward in tho
west part of the city to look at some
lots, and that he drove his team some
distance farther into a secluded spot
where he Is alleged to have made im-
proper proposals toward her.
"I never saw this woman and don't
remember whether I took any woman
out to look at lots on July 8th or not,
for I take women out to look at lots
every day," said Ward when asked
about the trouble after his arrest.
Ward was released on $300 bond last
night to appear for pleading, July 22d.
PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.

always a profitable Investment. One
inch one insertion 30 cents. Three days
75 cents. Write up the ad now.
Reference Books.
The children should be taught how
to use reference books, to look up
meanings, spellings, places, and so on.
The habit of looking up whatever
needs greater elucidation^ augurs well
for good culture and education. The
child that has acquired it requires but
little going to school in order to sur-
pass those who have expensive school-
ing but no training in the use of refer-
ence books.
The Autograph Market.
At the present time the greatest de-
mand is for autographs of the English
literary celebrities, some of which
bring thousands of dollars. Keats and
Shelley command such high prices
that they sell best abroad, where there
are more collections. In London, Ber-
lin end Paris there are continual auto-
graph sales during the season.—The
Circle.
Life a Maze of Endless Complication.
From the cradle to the grave, In his
needs as in his pleasures, in hiB con-
ception of the world and of himself,
the man of modern timep struggles
through a maze of endless complica-
tion. Nothing Is simple any longer;
neither thought nor action; net pleas-
ure, not even dying.—Charles Wag-
ner.

brokers
IN TROUBLE
II. Fink, who conducts a pawn shop
on South Broadway, was arrested last
night, upon complaint of Joe Lee, who

rest upon a similar charge and he was
fined *5 and costs. The case will be
tried in police court tonight. -

Beautiful Things in Life.
There is nothing purer than hones-
ty; nothing sweeter than charity;
nothing warmer than love; nothing
brighter than virtue; and nothing
more steadfast than faith. These
united in one mind form the purest,
the sweetest, the richest, the bright-
est, and most steadfast happiness.—

To Pot Plants.
When transplanting or repotting
plants remember that a plant loosely
potted rarely thrives. Firm potting
must be insisted upon—not hard
pounding of the earth, but sufficient
firmness about the roots to allow
them to obtain a good hold in the
soli.
