ODD WAYS OF TELLING TIME Glance at Clock or Watch Is by No j Means Absolutely Necessary, as This Article Shows. A clock or a watch was about ar rare In Turkey 50 years ago as an | aeroplane Is in America today. Even , at the present time in the smaller I cities and villages the house with a 1 timepiece in it is unusual, for a clock I or watch is considered a luxurious con-I venhnee to be indulged in only by a, few of the wealthier class. Nature is the clock of that land. A most reliable clock, which never stops or fails to serve its purpose. Should ■ you inquire the time there you would , be referred to the crow of the cock, the sun. or the condition of the cat’s eye I The cock crows regularly morning, forenoon, noon, afternoon and evening Sometimes he crows at irregular periods. Woe unto him! For superstition demands that his head be chopped off, j a demand which is complied with with- ■ out delay, for to tolerate an ill-crowing ! cock is to bring bad luck, according to a native superstition. One of the methods they have of telling time by the sun is the following: They hold their thumbs touching one another horizontally, and extend the forefingers up perpendicularly. Then they divide the thumb and forefinger of each hand into six parts, nominal hour points, one hand representing the morning and the other the afternoon. Where the thumbs join being twelve o’clock, the tip of one forefinger representing six o'clock in the morning and the tip of the other six |, o’clock in the afternoon, by holding the hands in the described position toward the sun the shadow cast by one forefinger upon the other will point to the correct time, as judged by the ! hours nominally marked in mind. The | hour divisions may be divided into additional ] irts, as the quarter hours. 1 To tell the time by the cat's eye t sounds at first humorous, but it can , be done. The average person perhaps is not aware that the shape of the; cat's eye undergoes changes during ’ the day. In the morning the pupil is 1 normally circular, but 'gradually it, 1 narrows until noon, v. hen only a nar- > row streak is left. As the day pro- < grosses it resumes its normal shape, ] becoming oval about three o'clock in , the afternoon. In Turkey it is com- , mon for the old folks to call the cat to ‘ their sides in order to ascertain the time. i 1 Magnificent Alaska. f It behooves every American to get ; better acquainted with this important territory, declares a writer in the Christian Herald. Take your atlas and study Alaska. You will get again your / schoolboy thrill to note that the United 5 States reaches up into the arctic cir- t cle, almost touches Asia, and stretches i westward in the north Pacific byway s of the Aleutian islands a distance from ( San Francisco as great as from San Francisco to New York. The mighty ! Yukon, flowing 1,800 miles to the sea 1 (the Hudson is 210 miles long), a mile vide for 600 miles from its mouth, * ( will hold you in awed surprise once!, more. Lakes, rivers, limitless plains, . mountain rafiges proclaim this a eoun- 1 . try by itself, needing no annexation to 1 another to give it dignity and worth. 1 And yet it was bought by the United < States for $7,200,000, and for nearly a half century has been the free stamping ground for fortune-hunters who have dared its cold forbidding mountain passes and rushing streams to seek for gold. A half billion has been their reward. Artistic Borrower. An English visitor to New York tells the story of an impecunious French man who was one of the most artis'tic borrowers of whom I have heard He would start the year by borrowing a hundred francs of a friend. A week I later, he would borrow two hundred francs of another friend and with that loan he would repay the first and still have a hundred francs left for the week's expenses. The third week he borrowed three hundred francs and repaid the man from whom he had borrowed the two hundred. And so he went on by steady progression to the end of the year. Then he would begin all over again. The man from whom he borrowed in the last week of the year of course would never get his money back. But though the borrower had created one enemy, he had cemented the friend ship of 51 persons during the year and established a credit on which he could run for the year following. He was a writer, but he seems to have had a good* business head. Fisherman’s Fib. The Webb City Register takes off its “lid" to Bill Swegard of Johnstown, who lured two friends to the fishing grounds by telling them the following true story of a recent catch he made: “I was sitting here on the bank and had just baited my hook, when all at once a great big fish just took that bait, hook, line, pole and all right out of my hand and swam down stream with it. I rushed back to that farmhouse and we got a rope and I went down there to the dam, and when we finally baited the hook with a young rabbit, and got that fish good and fast on that hook, we had to take the farmer’s team of mules to pull it out of the river. It was the biggest cat 1 ever saw, and when we got that thing out on the bank it juat bawled like a young calf.” Os course, we are not making any i remarks about Carterville having recently gone “wet,” adds the Register, but we didn’t know the “red-eye” they we?o selling over there had such maguiXyiag flowers. —Kansas Civ Journal

HAD FINE WEEK (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) 4000 people attending. He addressed two large meetings at Fort Wayne and a large number of men at Ridgeville, where the eighth district congressional convention was held. Ail of the meetings held by Beveridge and Toner indicate very clearly that their party either is in very good 1 shape or that a great many people are curious to hear what Beveridge has to say on the issues, it is not denied today that the size and character of the meetii* s addressed by Beveridge refute the charges of the Republicans that the Bull Moose party (has been reduced to a cipher in this state. While Beveridge stated at these meetings that he is confident that the Progressives will carry the state none of tlie Democratic leaders take much stock in such claims but they do say that the meetings indicated that Bev?- ’ ridge will be as strong or probably stronger than the Republican’s'candidate—Hugh Th. Miller of Columbus. I Beveridge is to op n his campaign, the first week in Septemb r but has I accepted invitations to make a number; 'of speeches during August. Indications are tliat there will be many speakers' in the field, representing all the parties during August as there seems to be a greater demand than ever for discussion of the political Issues. o | WRITE STORIES FOR MOVING PICTURE PLAYS New, Spare Time Profession for Men and Women—One Man Makes $3,500 in Six Months.
