it you ask the U. S. cable office
at 11 o'clock sharp any morning,
what the correct time is, you will
be informed that it is ELEVEN.
Ask the dispatcher at the W. P.
and you will find that it is six
midutcs after the hour. The Home
Powt company will inform you that
the W. P. }s one minute fast, as
the correct time is 11:05. Ring up
tte 3kagway laundry and you will
find that the cable is slow, for
bv the correct time it is just
11:06V£. -Mr. Ikuta regulates the

WAS IT A
DREAM?
By WILLIAM CHANDLER
I am a commercial traveler. 1 did
uot'tn my youth receive much educa
tion and am lamentably Iguorant of j
American history. These things 1 j
mention because they t;ear upon the
experience I nm jilHiut to relate. Nov- I
er having heard or read of the Char- |
acters 1 shall mention. it is impossible
that I should have conjured them up
frwm memory.
One autumn I left my home for a
tour in the middle west Reaching
Pittsburgh. I made It a starting point
for visiting Ohio river towns between j
it aiul Cincinnati. The Ohio, which
the early French settlers named La
Belie Itlvlere (Beautiful river), afforded
such attractive scenery that at Mari
etta I left .regular modes of traveL
hired n rowboat aud, putting my bag
gage In It, principally a trunk full of
samples, drifted—there was no need of
pulling—down the river, intending to j
take In the principal towns by the way. j
Shortly before nightfall 1 came to an
Island so beautiful that I was tempted
to laud and inspect It Tylug my boat !
to the point that formed its upper eud. (
I made my way through underbrush
and clearings. There was no one on
this part of the 'siand. and I was op- j
pressed by a feeling of loneliness. Re
turning to my boat I supped from the
contents of a lunch basket I had
bought for myself on the shore, wrap
ped myself in my blankets and turn
ed in.
The night was chilly, and I failed to
keep warm. Rising to walk about for I
a few minutes, looking southward 1 I

You have undoubtedly noticed that a number of your negotives
taken during the past summer have been flat. This is due to UNDER
e.\ insure—and the way to pet the best results is to use a tri-pod, giving
a little time to the taking of the picture. Try it—the result will more
than coropensrte you for the trifling cost of the tri-pod. If you do not
have one, we can supply your wants. Metal or wood. With or without
a careving case.
