RUNNING IT FINE.

I A sailor, who had retired to spend the rest of his life in the country, was very proud of his -watch, which, for nearly 30 years, had never once gone wrong. Early one morning he roused a visitor, who was string with him, and together they set V>ut to see the sun rise. The host kept consulting first his watch, and then a calendar, which gave the time of the sun's rising and setting. There was a long wait in the pale, vague dawn. Presently, tapping his watch with his forefinger, the sailor said: . "If the sun ain't over that hill m a ininute and' a half, he'll be late."
