Tills ia a story kWmt a click which
made great deal of troiibl. (or two
people and gave the same two ple
Tery rssir opiuioiis of each other. The
brother sa'J) hat no woman in the world
nave liisOi.ter could have had tich
amazing ignorance nlsutt clocks in gen
eral, ami tins one in particular, while
hia sister diilares that only her brut her,
of all tiii'ti on earth, would have allowed
a little bit of a t ba k to make fool of
li i I ii before a carl'.a I of strangi rs.
The trouble with the cha k was that it
wutililii't k'-ep tune. There waa no
reason in the world why it wouldn't; It
Jti-t wiiuldii't, aii l thut won all there
waa to it. This was Jmiuful to the
ruling woman for several reason. It ii
only iicvrn.nry to mention one; the
tilm-piero had Ixvli given to her I'V her
LetMtlnil. He thought it won a little
gem of a dis k, ami thut it would please
her. She Agreed with lain aa to the
tsratlt y of the delicate little affair, ami
w as ileuc.l fur a time. Then she la-gall
to get wi.rruil; tlu ii she gut nervous,
ml lastly alarmed. Thin was all of
rnnrse lavaiine the thing would not go,
ami, la-muse she feared he might think
he had broken it, or, worse still, ns she
herself Colifi -.s.-d In-tweell time, that she
hadn't M-i.M1 enough to make n clock go,
while her irreveri-nt ami iiiiN-rtini'iit
brother suggested aweetly that he was
umre likely to think thut it waa her
"face which had t"'s-d a i lix k."
The fiunily were in the coiiiitry when
the dis k was received, and when the
time drew ln-ar for the arrival of the
betrothed chs'k giver nllairs la-gaii to be
deswrutt. The young woman di-ciurcd
that that t ha k had to go. The clock
niinply wouldn't. Sho woiihl wind it
tie it would nlwuv wind without the
lightest rexistunce but it woiihl not
go. She shook it, k)i turnol it Umide
down, she coaxed it, she laiil it on ita
fare and then on it luck, nml the hand
were still froze to the face of the clock.
"AllaTt," she imid to her brother,
"you must take tins clock over to town
ml get it repairi'il. It uiut Iw repaired;
It ninnt go."
Now town wns ten mile away, and
Albert did not oo why miy one should
mako mi much fus. over clo.-k, ami
inch a little chx-k, tHi, ua that wan. lliit
wheu nrgiiinetit and pleading rould
Dot move linn ho yielded to tears, and,
chucking the timepiece under hia arm,
he bourdiil the train mid started for
town. In the rnr he placed the clock on
the scat lieaide him and rented hi hand
on it. Then more trouble la-gun. That
clock begun to strike. It went into the
Inking busiiu-M in calm, determined
way.
It struck right along, up gride and
down grade, round curve and on
traight track. The brother felt
fainting around hi heart. The p.-ople
in the car who hud tlmt been amused
began to 1k annoyed. The yoiim; mau'a
face got red; it got warm; hi hair be
came bathed with ilainpliinn, but La
clung to the clock liko a Trojan. He
had a n idea that he might be able to
hide it or smother it or cloao it, ha
didn't know which, and o he kept hia
hand tightly pressed on it.
And all the time that infernal ma
chine jnnt "sawed wiaal." It had .truck
gait which it liked, nud it kept it up
without a break. It showed no sign of
getting tired or of running down. It
wa striking nl.nig ata;'::'o gait when
the train reached the town. It con
tinued to strike when the brother made
hi eorurM from the car. It went on
triking up the street until the brother
wanted to throw it over a fem e and
then commit suicide. No burglar alarm
wa ever more Twvering than that
clock. No clanging lire engine ever
tuado more noise and caused more ex
citement. The clock wit, striking away
industriously and cheerfully when the
brother ran into jeweler' .hop ami
threw the thing down on a counter.
"For heaven's sake stop it!" ho cried.
But it hud stopisil. There it lay on
the counter u dumb aa an oyster and aa
ailent a a tomb.
"Well, I'll lie hunged,"uid the broth
er breathlessly. "What the matter
with it auywuyT ho linked, listing at
it a if it were a dynamite, cartridge.
The jeweler picked it up.
Look outr cried the brother. "That
thing will eturt up again if you touch
it."
But it didn't. It never made sound,
only iu minute cume a gentle and
rhythmic ticking.
"There nothing the trouble with it,"
aid the jeweler, netting the hamU and
then examining the little infernal ma
chine. "You nee," he added with sym
pathetic smile, "thi Ua re-ating clock.
You rail mako it renin ke the lnt hour
by touching thi spring. Yon have been
winding tip the re-nting sounder, but
not the clock. And )'"H must have held
your hand on the spring when yon kept
it striking. It' all right now. All you
want to do i to wind the clock more and
the repeater less."
"Ohr "id the brother with gJ
nd that waa all.
Now tbe brother nay that any woman
who d's-sn't know enongh to wind
clock doesn't know enongh to live. And
the water nays well, every brother

"Very" with a Verb.
"Pleumil," ill the expn-wion "vory
pleased," is nothing more than the Met
participle pimsive of "please" tim-d aa an
adjective. "Very," so far a I am
ware, ia never tmed with any other part
of verb, and then only when thut rt
ban la-come adji-ctive by usage. The
following quotation from l'on' "Dun
chid" show its tine a an adjective:
Thou triumph 'si, Victor of lb. blub wrought
duy.
And the plraa'd dame, soft smiling, W-ad'st
as.
A similar tine of the word is when we
say a n rnon's face bus "a pleuseil ex
pressioii." Thin being the cone it is a
correct to nay "very pleased" a to aay
"very much plt-ancd." Annuudalc'a " Im
perial Dictionary," anbject "Very," has:
"Among old writer Very wa fre
quently lined alone to modify a pant
purt.ciple. and it is still to some extent
o until; thus, Kir W. June has 'very
Concerned;' (ilhbnn, 'Very tlllillilll!ied;'
Bydi.ey Smith, 'very altered.'etc."
As tiieru i no verb umjualif v, uu
qiialilieil can Iw nothing cine but an ad
jective, aud concerned ami uttered come
under the same part of sMech. When
we say, "I uni very pleasetl," there ia no
action implied, but there i simply a
description of the stato or condition In
which one is at the time of sa-uking.

that all humh ami rcpr.-n.nive tueaaure

waa that iu the treatment aud care of
patients thev should Iw made to feel at

all the cure and kind attention aud the
rmleuvor to ph ase the patients, there are
a nuinln-r of the Utter on the island, the
d.n'tor sal. I. who are aa fensioiis a wild

ally take advantage of the fact that there
are no struitjuckct or p-st raining ma
chine in tin. institution, and they Im
ci.ine insulting and aggressive and often-tiin.-s
very dangerous.
The negres. Wan one of these ease.
She hud tas'li ill the institution for sev
eral year and waa incurubly insane.
All the nltctuhiiita and num.' in the
ward in w Inch he wu coiilin.il were in
mortal dread of her, and they were
olilig.il to keep constantly on the watch
for fear of a sudden attack from the mad
woman. wh.w name i Ann Kinney.
She la nearly six feel in height and Very
muscular. She had been a luumln-aa in
tin. city, and during an altercation with
h. r hiisluind she received a blow on the
bead, a. a result of which alio became
insane.
"I wa uiiiinoiied to the acuto ward,
aid lr. IVut, where I found thetiegree.
in a terrible rage. She had driven all
the unmet out of the ward and the other
putieut were completely cotveiL She
waa rambling almut at will, brandishing
half a picture frame alio had torn from
the wall. Her rye were bl.nnlshot and
.he wo fouining al the mouth. When I
apM'iirrd he Iterume more violent, and
the other puticnta wero crying out in
terror. She la-gun tearing off herclothee,
and presented a hidcotl sMTtucle.
"There waa only one tiling to do, and
thut wu to confine the licgresa before
he could kill or maim any of thepatietita,
which, with her strength, she could do in
few moment. There waa no time to
uiiimon other help, o I opened the dooi
and walked in. The mad woman mad
a dash for me, and when within half a
dozen pure she threw down her picture
frame, which wua of light pine, and
seizing a bench, which .he broke with
eane, and catching up a heavy oaken

"Thinking to catch her off her guard I
grabbed for the arm that held the bench
rung. My antagonist dropil the rung
ami a wore that she would kill me, and
to tell the truth I waa a little afraid ah
would, for I waa only about half hei
aixe. The way she chucked me about
the Door, picked me up and threw me
down again, almost took the life out of
me. She played with me a a cat doe
with a mouse, but, itrange to aay, though
he had me at her mercy, .he did not t
tempt to beat my brain out with hei
club. It all hapM.-ned In a very few
uitnutea. When she gave me a breathing

he raluiud down considerably, and af tvl
talking to her in a conciliatory mannei
we decided to compromise. She agreed
to go to her cell quietly, after 1 had
promised to give her aoiiiething to ease
the tuiiu in her head. I walked to the
