According to the Youth's Companion, about 40 yeurs ago someone in the town suggested that it would be a good thing for the workers in the xlate quarries to gain an hour of daylight by going to work an hour eurller in the morning and stopping work an hour earlier at night.

The town adopted the suggestion, but instead of changing the working hours It set the clocks uhend. Through all the yeurs since then the clocks of Monson hnve been an hour ahead of the clocks In other Maine towns. Hit Idea.

Whatever the meeting of umpires decides, the decision of fans in this country will be that Sellars pulled an awful bone when he left his base lust because Sume- body Cried "foul."

"There Is, however, a diversity of opinion on this matter, and the views udvanced by Sellars ure by no means shared by the general body of players, who are of the opinion that the Huwthorn player was correctly given out. In view of the dissatisfaction expressed the question will be fully debated at the next meeting of the Umpires' association."

Farmers and others have a habit of hiding money In their stoves. When they light up for the winter, the money is forgotten until It is burned, and the ashes and pieces are sent to the treasury for redemption.
