Certainly not. And yet, even today, when a watch is considered to be as much an accessory of dress as it is a timekeeper, many a pocket bulges with a cumbersome watch 25 to 50 years old. Remarkable progress has since been made in watch making. Graceful, thin models which retain all the accuracy and sturdiness of their cumbersome predecessors, but give an added beauty and charm, are worn today by men and women of good taste.

Such a watch is up-to-date as well as on time. Come in and see all the latest watch models of well known makes, such as HAMILTON, HOW. ARD, ILLINOIS, ELGIN. J. E.

Decatur riders want to enjoy the same privileges that other cities are offering their riders, that of being able to escape from the hard pavements and the constant danger of cars. For several years it has been my joy to ride a little chestnut sorrel mare, with a blond mane and tail, a white stripe down her nose and a stubborn disposition very like to my own. She has hasty startling little ways about her, that leave me breathless with laughter, it is so evident that she is trying to show off.

Before I knew her however, the sensation was entirely different, like one feels descending in an aeroplane or an elevator suddenly. There isn't a thing in the world that she is really afraid of but she enjoys making me think so. She is just a restless, sensitive. creature so full of life that she plays with each step she takes along the road. Several nights ago I chanced by her pasture in the moonlight.

My eyes searched and clung to a glistening shadow caught in the light of the moon. With far flung head, mane and tail stretched in the wind, she seemed a thing a creature born of the moon and set adrift in a cloud: Would any call from me have startled her, brought her back? I left her undisturbed by any human, the spell unbroken, but carried with me the silver horse on a silver hill. THE CUB REPORTER.
