The Boy that Wears a Watch.

The boy that wears a watch is an important character. At school ha.is enyyied and on the street he is respected. None of the boys grab him ami throw him down, for they might break his time-keeper. He has a way of twisting the chain when he talks, and of looking at his watch when he hears a railroad train, and saying 12:10, or 6:5, br 8:16. The other boys stand around and regard him w’ith admiration. He grows up and probably goes to college with a distinguished air, but, in after years he pawns his watch with a man who as a boy often stood around and admired it. —"Boston Globe. - -
