THE GIRL; IN THE CLOCK The clock she peeped out of is in the State Historical Museum at Madison in America. Round the face are carved figures below a hunting scene, and above all is a gilded vase of roses. The clock, made in Germany in 1770 by Johann Schoepperle, is nine feet high, and instead of chimes it has organ pipes (states the "Children's Newspaper). It was Priscilla Sawyer who came out of the clock. When she was a child of six the grand old clock stood in the hall of her father's house. Priscilla had been told she must go to bed, but she had disobeyed her father's orders, crept downstairs in her nightgown, and opened the door of the grandfather clock! Then she climbed inside, and crouched down at the bottom below the heavy brass weights. She kept very still, for she wanted to see General Lafayette, who was her father's guest that evening. ' She knew her father would be sure to show his clock. Presently a door opened and people came out of a room and stood in the hall. She could hear her father telling them about the clock. She was very frightened, but up she popped, opened the door, and astonished everyone by saying: "Daddy, don't be angry with me. I did so want Sto see General Lafayette." Before her father could answer, the great man stepped forward, lifted her out of the clock, and kissed her. Priscilla went off to bid, very proud that she had seen one of the greatest men of her day.
