nnd opened his watch to find that It
had Btoppcd,
"Good heavens!" ho shouted to his wife,
what tlmo Is it?"
"I don't know. It Is nil I can do to keep
track of tho year und tho day of tho month,
f'm not dead certain what tcntury we
are In."
"Hut wo'ro surrounded by all kinds of
tlmo."
"That's right. The cook says eho Is
going to run on sun tlmo or quit. Tho
second girl sot the cuckoo clock by tho
policeman's watch when ho was half an
hour late getting to his neat. Grnudma
runs this clock here on Rangor time so
as she can keep track of what her folks
at homo are probably doing, nnd my wntch
gains fifteen minutes every two days,"
"I'll fix that, blamed quick, If I havo to
buy a whole Jewelry store. It wouldn't
take more than n month for this sort of
thing to make a lunatic asylum out of us,
Hear that old machine out thoro wheezing
again. Stop every timepiece In tho houso
and let the first ono nwako In tho morning
call tho rest. I'll have an expert here
right after breakfast and woil get uniform
standard tlmo In this house If I have to
pay a cuitodlan of clocks and watches $5 a

ono wny to tell, that Is to push boldly In

Whatever else you fall to do In Jerusa

"Yes, to what you call pasture."
"Pasture on tho roof?"
"Yes, It Is very largo. Many things

Mary Dotchotnnn of Rrooklyu, nftor a
prolonged litigation, hns been successful
In tho court of appeals in her action to
recover damages from the Rrooklyn Heights
Railroad company for personal Injuries re
ceived by her whllo n passenger upon ono
of Its trolley cars, Her story on tho
trial, In Rrooklyn, nearly three years ago,
was that sho signaled tho car, which
stopped; that the motorman beckoned to
her to enter It by tho front platform,
opening tho gato for tho purpose of giving
her entrance; thnt bIic got upon tho pint
form, nnd, Just nB sho wns stepping In, or
had stepped Into tho body of tho enr nnd
before sho wns able to sit down the car
started with a violent Jerk, by which sho
wan thrown down and severely Injured.
Tho car started, she said, with great
force, A woman, a passenger in tho enr
at tho time, and seated, characterized the
start as "such n Jerk It almost throw us
off our feet too."
A verdict given In plaintiff's favor for
$4,000 was set nsldo by the court, but tho
nppollato division of tho second department
directed n reversal. Presiding Justice
Goodrich nnd Justice Woodward dissenting.
Tho court held by Justice Cullen (now of
tho court of appeals) that the ruin that tho
Jar or Jerk of nn electric car when It Is
started In motion Is not cvldcuco of negli
gence was appllcablo only within certain
limitations nnd where a woman passenger
was Injured as tho result of tho car being
started before eho had taken her seat the
Jury might properly find such nctlon con
stituted n want of oven ordinary enrc. Tho
court of appeals has nlllrmed the order
nnd directed Judgment for tho plaint Iff on
tho verdict.
