M i.y,.. -p.-yp p !! 1 B Lying; By the Clock. bssBBB B Many a man who would not for any B money go into the kitchen at seven B o'clock in the morning and say to tlio B cok) "Do you know it is half-past seven B ' o'clock? Well, it is, and more; it's just B thirty-five minutes past seven, and my B train goes in twnnty.flve minutes 1" will B quiot'yund in cold blood put the clock H up to telling this lie for him. This isn't B fair to the clock. It is bad enough B when a man, or even a woman, in a B sudden gust of anger, swears at a tramp, B or peddler, or irritating caller, with a BH alaming door or banging windo . . Time B is done m n quick frenzy of temper, and B ( has sometimes the excuso of great B provocation. But lying by tlio clock is B always done with calm deliberation and B malice aforethought, and it is preserved B in day by day. It's too mean on the B clock. Vocal as the big clock at Doctor B Dombey's, speaking to poor little Paul, B these martyred clocks should sit heavy BBB on tlio conscience of the tencher,(8aying B all day long, in staccato tones, "My, BBB mas, tor, makes, me, lie. My, mas, ter B makes, me', lie." Robort J. Burdetto B in the August Ladies' Home Journal.
