TIXKEItlXG THE CLOCK.
T With laughter which bodea ill for
", its further success, the British Com-
' mons have passed on its second read
ing Pearce's Daylignt Saving hill to
1 put clocks back 80 minutes in sum
mer. The idea is not so crazy as it
sounds; England is so far north thai
it is daylight In midsummer at 3 A.
M. Pearce's idea Is that people should
get up and begin work 80 minutes
daylight left for out-of-door enjoy
ment. There Is health In the plan also
earlier and have five or six hours of
endless confusion with railroad time
tables and other arrangements, Prl
nto employers might try it. In Coos
Bay setting the clocks back an hour
would for some men leave some hours
v of afternoon daylight.
There is also some confusion
caused on Coos Bay and In the Co
qullle valley by lack of ulnformlty In
t the varying standards of time. It
may be noticed any day that the
whistles which are supposed to blow
at the stroke of twelve are always
several minutes apart. Inquiry
develops the fact that there Is so
-'called "mill time," "train time and
"Coos Bay tlmo," none of which
agree. This often causes inconveni
ence to travelers and others who at
v tempt to adjust their watches to the
varying standards. j. Coos Bay
man w,ho made a trip Into the valley
recently missed his boat in Coquille.
Arrived too late, he remarked that ho
thought the boat departed at a cer
tain hour. It does replied one of
tho residents of the place. "But,"
remonstrated the Coos Bay man
"according to my watch It now lacks
five minutes of the time," "Oh," re
marked the old resident, "the boai
leaves on steamboat time." While
the matter has its humorous plses
It is, one of bufllclent Importance to
warrant some action being taken by
some public body like tho Chamber
of Commerce or city council to
secure uniformity and avoid tho pres
ent confusion and Inconvenience oc
casioned by everyone going by guess,
his own sweet will and a watch that
cannot bo adjusted to any universal
ly accepted standard on the Hay.
Alexander I'liillp has published a
book on reforming tho calendar. His
plan Is to consider New Year's Day
nnd Leap Year Day, when they occur,
ns days apart, not Included in any
month. That leaves 3C1 days, exact
ly G2 weeks. By lengthening Feb
ruary, Juno and September, and
shortening January, July, May, Au
gust and October, tho days in tho
'months would run 30, 30, 31; 30, 30,
31; 30, 30, 31: 30, 30, 31. Evory
quarter would lie of tho samo length,
just 13 weeks; Christmas, Election
Day and tho glorious Fourth would
always 16 the same day of tho week
nnd tho calendar for any jour would
uo lor nil tun oilier years.
rnoro are homo advantages in a
year so arranged, but it would not

GOOD EVEXIXG.
When God gives to us the
clearest sight,
He does not touch our eyes
with love, but sorrow.
John Boyle O'Reilly.
SIT DOWN, SAD SOUL.
Sit down, sad soul, and count
The moments flying;
Come, tell the sweet amount
That's lost by sighing!
How many smiles? A score?
then laugh, and count no more;
For day Is dying!
Lie down, sad soul, and sleep,
And no more measure
Tho flight of time, nor weep
The loss of leisure;
But here, by this lone stream,
Lie down with us and dream
Of starry treasure!
We dream; do thou the same;
We love forever;
We laugh, yet few we shame
TheN gentle never.
Stay, then, till sorrow dies;
Then hope and happy skies
Are thine, forever!
Barry Cornwall.
"Tho dark ages," remarked the
Careful Observer at the Mllllcoma,

Money may make some people
mad, but it's the lack of it that
makes most of the people on Coos
Bay wax warm In the neck cloth.
all about this morning?"
"Oh, a mouse. Teacher told us
all about mouses."
"Fine, sonny. Now how do you
spell mouse?"
A long moment's silence, and then
the future editor blue-penciled the
earlier communication thus: "Fa
ther, I guess I was wrong. It wasn't
a mouse. It was a rat."
"Johnny," remarked a Coos Bay
teacher to one of her young pupils,
"you must comb your hair before
you come to school."
"I ain't got no comb."
"Borrow your father's."
"Pa ain't got no comb either."
"Doesn't he comb his hair?"
"He ain't got no hair."
Willie looked up from hit
does a
Little
novel.
"Poppa," he said, "what
man's 'better half mean?"
"What she says," Mr. Enpequo an
swered sadly.
And with a sigh the little man
resumed the verification of his wife's
Easter millinery bill, which she had
promised would be very large.
MUST TELL TRUTH.
The Sultan of Ul Mulk Brd is said
to be coming to the United States
for a visit. We do not know Brd,
but he is welcome to a helping of

"What would you say If I should
throw you a kiss?" asked the bash
ful Marshfleld fellow to his North
Bend girl. "I would say that if it
was as slow as you, it would never
land,' said she: whereupon he took
the hint and the wedding bells soon
rang.
"I suppose your family is well
connected," remarked the Marsh
flold Old Timer of his North Bend
acquaintance. "Sure," replied the
North Bend man, "we've got a tele
phono, olectrlc light In every room
and water pipes and sewer connections."

that the testimony given by an ap
plicant for admission to a beneficiary
order and for an insurance policy,
even though accepted as to the
health and habits of the applicant,
if false, does not bind the insurance
society to the terms of the contract
policy and operates to repudiate the
latter, the Supreme Court, In a per
curiam opinion, reverses the case of
Marie Stewart Whigham, respondent,
vs. the Supreme Court of the In
dependent Order of Foresters, and
remands the case with instructions
to grant a nonsuit.
In this case William Whigham,
who was addicted to drink, during a
season of teetotalsim, applied for ad
mission to Pacific Court. Order of
Foresters of Portland, was admitted
to membership, took out a benefi
ciary certificate in favor of his wife,
the respondent, and eventually died
from the effects of liquor. This is
an appeal from the decree of, the
late Judge Arthur L. Frazer of Mul
tnomah county, in which judgment
in favor of Mrs. Whigham was given
by the trial court.
