Mrs. Hawley de-
manded from the
depths of the bed-
room.

out his watch.

vok at this!" She appeared in
pe doorway holding up a small
ronze clock, whose hands were point
ie to quarter past 12.
-That isn't right," he protested^
"But it is. I asked the telephone
rl for the correct time before I
arted it this afternoon. Why, I just
ky down on the bed by baby for a
linute this evening and I must have
ropped off and slept all this time
,ave you been reading ever since
rent into the bedroom?"
"Why, yes—unless I've been asleep
my chair. I would have sworn it
asn't later than ten."
"And we were going to bed early to
ight so you could get a good start in
he morning! Isn't it ridiculous?
lome on, now. Don't read any more,
rs. Hawley began to bustle about,
stening windows and turning off
ghts. ,
"I'll set the alarm for seven, she
bid. 'I don't see how we could stand
to get up at six now. Come, hurry,
will be one o'clock before we're
sleep."
They were just dozing off when a
ll s iade Mrs. Hawley sit up in bed.
'What do you think of that? she
'"reclaimed, indignantly. "That man up-
airs is playing ragtime at one o'clock
i the morning."
"It's a poor outlook for getting up
arly," Hawley agreed. "They're hav-
ig a midnight party down below, too,
•om the noises that come up through

"I'm going to see. It's no use trying

was a long time before she returned
the bedroom. "Brown," she said,
jen, "what kind of a building have
them turn on the light in the kitchen
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—now! 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 that 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 match to
investigate. "No, sir," he added, in an
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. With
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, hut
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
here 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 live 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, Is a plat-
form for public speakers. Did you
ever hear how the name originated.
It's rather a queer story. In fhe days
of 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 Porum,
where it was subsequently used by
speakers when they addressed the peo-
ple.
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
lln and 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 his con
ceptlon of the world and of himself
the man of modern times struggles
through a maze of endless complica
tion. Nothing is simple any longer
neither thought nor action; not pleas
ure, not even dying.—Charles Wag
ner.

To Pot Plants.
When transplanting or repotting
plants remember that a plant loosely |
potted rarely thrives. Firm potting J
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
soil.
