poasible for Thompson or Hughes to

'A .WOMAN AND A WATCH

From the New York Sun.
"Women don't deserve to own
watches," recently remarked a jeweler.
"They don't know how to take care
Of them.
"A woman bought a watch fr m my
firm recently and 1 gave her strict In-
. t ructions to wind it every 24 hours and
always at the same hour as nearly as
poasible. Two days later she came
back with It and said it had stopped.
"Well. I found it had run down. I
told her. but she insisted that she had
; wound it. .
"Two or three days later she came
hack with the same complaint and again
' I tried to impress her with the necessity
; for winding it. Again he insisted that
' ghe had done so and went away miffed.
'Tho third time she came I asked
; her to show me how she had vound it.
' Then I fnade a peculiar discovery. The
' woman ' waa left handed and in at
tempting to wind the watch she had
bean wlndinf It the wrong way. I've
had peculiar experiences with custom
