"I am firmly convinced,” said the man who sat swabbing his face In the railroad station waiting room, hot and indignant because he had missed his train, “that the man maintaining In a public place a clock that does not keep time ought to be found guilty of fe lonious misdemeanor, If not of some thing worse, and punished, if that were possible, with a penalty lu some measure commensurate with his crime. *‘I am not sure that I would hang him for the first offense —at least I would not make such a punishment mandatory; I would leave something to the discretion of the judge and jury —but I would make the penalty cumu lative. For Instance, I would have the law so read that after a mau had been found four times guilty of this crime he must be hanged or electrocuted four times, with no escape, and 1 don’t know but what I would both hang and electrocute him. “For I can conceive of no higher crime than that of a man who sets up a clock In a public place and then fails to keep it going correctly. “Understand me clearly. I do not refer now to clocks In church steeples, on which I never rely; they may be right and they may be wrong. Norn inally they are supposed to be looked after by the sexton, but really they represent the congregation, a divided responsibility; and on anything for which the responsibility is divided you can never rely. The church clock goes Its own sweet way through the week with nobody to look after it. and so on It I never rely. “Nor do I permit myself to be misled by tower clocks, which, like the church clocks, may be right and may be wrong. You might think that the tower clocks would be looked after scrupulously by those who owned thsm, but up so high, so near the sky. and though looked at daily by many, they seem sometimes to be quite over looked and forgotten by those whose business It should be to keep constant watch over them; and I have learned by experience not to rely on tower clocks. “And I have long since ceased to rely on clocks simply because they had the word ‘Regulator’ printed on their face. I have known such clocks that were model timekeepers, but put ting that name on their face didn’t make them so. Have we not all seen one story shacks with a sign up read ing ‘Grand Palace Hotel?’ But that sign didn’t make the shack a palace any more than printing the word ‘Reg ulator* on the face of a two-dollar clock makes that a perfect timekeeper. So I have long since ceased to be mis lead by the word ‘Regulator.’ “For that matter, may we not find In Jewelers’ windows, where of all places you would expect to find clocks show ing the correct time, clocks that are minutes off? I never rely on a clock simply because I see It in a Jeweler’s window. “Nor do I rely on the barber shop clock, nor on any of the many clocks that I find In many semi-public places, and least of all do 1 rely on clocks found in homes; for clocks are as vari ous and as irresponsible as men. “And now I am coming to the real point of what I want to say. There is one sort of clock set up in public places upon which we should be able to rely with absolute security, and that is the clock that Is set up by a busi ness man in front of his place of busi ness. “Now there Is a clock that really ought always to be kept in perfect order and keeping perfect time. For does not this man place It there to at tract attention to himself and his goods for hla own profit? Does he not thereby expect to derive benefits from the public, and should not the public be able to rely upon receiving a recip.« local benefit from him? Does he not thereby substantially say that what he has to offer Is good and worthy of at tention, and Is It not reasonable to suppose that he Invites our confidence in his clock as well as his goods? “And would you not suppose that the most commonplace considerations of selfishness would prompt him to keep that clock always in perfect or der, to confirm and increase for his own profit the confidence that he in vites? You’d think so, wouldn’t you? But how many clocks are so?" “I infer from what you say.” said the tranquil man waiting for his train to whom these remarks had been made, “that you have trusted some public clock somewhere and so missed your train.” “Your inference Is quite correct,” said the hot and indignant man, "and what I said to you as to the penalties that I think ought to attach to this crime of failure to keep public clocks In order is only a brief, limited, short, condensed, mild, abbreviated, attenu ated and expurgated statement of what I think the penalty really ought to be. What I would do if I could to the man guilty of this crime I wouldn't pare to say.” grammatically Speaking. He—Can you explain to me the dif ference between "shall” anil "will?” For example, If I say: "Will you mar ry me?” should you reply, "I shall” qr I will?” 8he (coldly)—I should reply: “1 won’t." —Home Herald.

CAND CORN AND LUCK Tale of an Arizona Sllvar Lode. “Mlstah Corn! Mlstah Corn!" shouted a page, threading his way among the tables In the cafe of an up town hotel the other evening. “Well, even If he has missed a com, he makes more fuss about it than my old friend Cand Corn did when he lost his,” remarked an Arizona min ing man to his companion. “It's a unique story, and as true as I'm sitting here and that we're going to have an other bottle,” he continued. “Cand Corn’s real name was The ophllus Peterson, or something like that. Because he was so tall and scrag gly, and looked so much like the breed of cactus we call the Arizona candle we called him at first ‘Cand’ for short. It was not until recent years that he became known from the Pecos to the Colorado by his full name, Cand Corn, that sticks to him yet, though I believe he Is touring Europe in his motor car this summer. “When I first saw Cand I was rest ing at Brent's trading post, which isn’t down on any map, but which looks big ger than New York as it sticks up in desert. Cand was a typical south western prospector, luckless and full of hope. He left his tired burro brows ing on the bunch grass by the road side, and after inviting Brent and me to have a drink got down to business. “ ‘Say, Brent,’ he remarked, ’let me have a pair of shoes —biggest you’ve got.’ “Brent looked doubtfully at his feet. “ ‘Must have somethin’,’ went on Csnd. ‘l’ve been prospectin’ for four months, an’ you can see for yourself my foot mits is plumb gone. If you can’t fix me out I’ll have to send to Albuquerque. That’s the cuss of havin’ the biggest feet in the terri tory.’ “The largest pair of shoes in the store were palpably too small, but Cand squeezed them on. ’ He had to. His feet were pretty badly cut up al ready by the sharp stones and cactus. “Cand laid up at Brent’s that night, and as we were both bound the same way, we hit the trail together at dawn next morning. We had to go into camp early that evening on Cand's account. His burning, aching feet refused to move any further. When he got his shoes off he seemed to taste for a few minutes the delights of heaven, but scon his feet began to burn again, and kept it up all night. In the morning he did some artistic scroll sawing with & jackknife before trying to put on his shoes, and provided an outlook on the smiling world for the toes that hurt him worst. Thenceforth his tqgony was not quite so acute. “By the time we got to Hillsboro Cand had the choicest assortment of corns that ever grew on any man’s feet but after a few days’ rest all but one disappeared. “One day he hobbled over to Mose Sibley’s blacksmith’s shop. “ ‘Say, Mose, let me have a hammer and a cold chisel for a while, will you? I’ve got a little repairin' to do.’ “ ‘Sure,’ answered Mose. ‘Help your self to anythin’ in the shop.’ “Cand took a big sledge and a cold chisel and went over to a big bowlder near the blacksmith’s shop. Then he kicked off the sheepskin slipper he had been wearing, and deliberately chiseled off his toe. Of course, he ought to have died of blood poisoning or something of that kind, but he didn’t. “Next morning before breakfast he elded to bury the toe, and started dig ging its grave. He felt so sore against it that he planned to dig a hole at least six feet deep, put the toe at the bot tom, fill the hole with earth and rocks and roll the biggest boulder available on the top of it all. ‘‘He had dug down about three feet when *ie struck solid rock. He scraped :he loose earth and small stones out, thinking it was only a small bowlder that he could get rid of in some man ner. Then he had a fit of the true miner’s ecstasy, for that rock was -troaked and veined with native silver until it looked lilLe a jeweler’s show window. “And that’s the story of the Canned Corn Mine and the Little Toe lx)d« in the mining camp of Corncob. Of course you’ve heard of the enormous wealth |of this property. Here’s a little I sketch mpp of it, which also shows the claims I have staked out all around it. 1 I’m offering just a few shares to close I friends of mine, simply for develop- I mett purposes. It’s the chance of a | lifetime — "Did Cand bury that toe? Not I much! He had it set in silver and wore it as a watch charm for a while. The last time I saw him lie said he’d given it to liis wife.” Names of Flowers. It Is interesting to know how cer tain flowers got their names. Many , were named after individuals. For Instance: Fuchsias were so-called bo -1 couse they were discovered by Leon ! ard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for i Andre Dahl, who brought them from Peru. The camelia was so called for 1 a missionary named Kamel, who brought some magnificent specimens of the flower to France from Japan. 1 He called It the rose of Japan, but his friends changed it to Camelia. Mag nolias were named in honor of Prof. Magnol de Montpej Her, who first brought the beautiful tree to Franco from America and Asia. Because they trembled with the wind Is the moaning of Anemones. The Latin word to wash is lavare and lavender received j its name because the Roman put the flowers into the water, when they washed, to perfume their hands, WHERE SHERMAN STANDS.
