THE STAR Nf{OJYER

The mcteoric shower which was ex-
pected on the morning of November
'14th did not occur, it seems, to any
sncl. extent as to be noticeable. But
there may be considerable shower be-
fore the end of the month for the regu-
lar star showers occur on the mornings
Of August II and November Ii and the
evenings of November "a and q.
What is the cause of these star show
ers? we are asked. They are said to be
caused by comets, especially the tails of
comets which are left behind. A COM
ct, as it advances, like pollywog, drops
its tail, which is composed of small
particles Of matter about the size of
peas. These tails are of enormous
length, much longer we judge, than the
tail of the Dog Star, for the great COM
ct Of 1911 had i tail 150,00O,00 miles
long and $4,000, 900 miles thick, or in
diameter: Mind you, we said miles and
not inches. A comet is no ordinary
animal which goes a':out wagging its
tail. but it sweeps straight ahead in its
orbit ten thousand million times faster
than any other animal with tail is
ever known to sweep. Well, a comet
goes around in III orbit or circle or ell.
lipse, like dog spinning around after
his tail, and the comet often goes OH
and leaves his tail behind him, like a
freight train going off and leaving the
: caboose. These comet-tails remain in
the inter-stellar and inter-planetary
spaces tyou see by these words that we
know what we are talking about and
q these caudle extremities sometimes
!. form themselves into enormous, incon.
ceivable rings or parts Of rings. Thus

EDITOR ADVANCE: i saw i'm your
last the final summing up Of the elec-
ton returns. Isuppose it is right to
rejoice over our enemies and is right to
have two parties in the field and not let
one party have things all their own
way. Ifit is an "a. p. Miller ring"
the Peoples ticket was not called "A.
Z. Miller ticket" in this town. It was
called ''whiskey ring ticket - That
was the great hobby. That was harped
upon on election day. 1t was gotten
up, they said, by eight men in Worth
ington who were whiskey bloats. I
think that turned a good many votes
against the Peoples ticket. Four or
Ave men would declare it was so ard
many Of the voters believed it. shall
not call any names rs the victory is won.
Two men came to my house to cleo
tioneer me, as supposed, and told me
the same things and gave the names of
those who got up the ticket at Worth
ington. My reply was that l should
support the ticket.
Another hobby was that Mr.. Mills
was not competent to hold the office of
Auditor. He was not book-keeper
and only fit for a farmer. Mr.. Mills
stayed at my house over night and l
went to two of the neighbors with him.
l know he did not slur the character of
Mr.. Town or Mr.. Walker.
Let us inquire about that whiskey
ring at Wortl,ington. If you have any
such ring should like to know it. l
would just as soon stick my hand in the
fire rs to vote for candidate that
would drink whiskey or get drunk.
The caucus at the Crosby school house
was a disgrace to the community.
They had jug of whiskey outside and
they don't deny it. The only question
is who brought it there. There were 3s
voters present that evening and it is
said some of them were weak in the
knees. And now settle in your own
minds which is the whiskey party.

SEWARD.

EDITOR ADvANC E: The election
now over. The smoke of battle has
cleared away. The dead have been
buried or sent to their friends and the
wounded tenderly cared for. And the
Victorious army is marching on. It is
believed by many good citizens that the
defeated army received blow from
which it will not soon recover and that
the defeat is a just rebuke to the CON-
manders for their manner of carrying
ron and conducting their tactics.
George d. Styles is rapidly recovering
from recent serious dislocation of his
shoulder and fracture of his arm and
ribs.
Mrs. Richards fell from a buggy the
18th inst. and fractured a collar bone.
Dyptheria is prevailing to some ex-
| tent in this town. No cases however
have thus far proved fatal.
A few days ago some of the good cit
liens Of this town turned out and husk-
ed and cribbed about two hundred
bushels of corn for Geo. Styles.
Mr.. Robert Alice and Miss Rosetta
ERODE were married OH the 10th inst. at
the residence of and by Justice Bloom.
On account of circumstances over
which we have no control blowing has
about come to a stand still.
The happiest mortal, however. is Au-
gust Shultz, who was recently present.
ed with fifteen pound boy. Mr.. s.
never fails to do a good job of black
smithing if taken to his shop at Fulda.
A number Of young cattle have died
in this town of late. Blackleg is said
to be the cause.
Though the fall has been exceeding
fine farmers are still behind with their
work. II.

CHINESE Proverbs Many of the
Chinese proverbs have their counter
parts in English; the difference of
expression, however, being in many
cases characteristic. Thus, Throw
q sprat to catch u whale, is rendered,
Throw br cl: to allure a gem"
Not to cry sinking fish," is rem
dered in Chinese, d" The melon sell
Ter declares his melons sweet" i" take
care of the pence and the pounds
will take care of themselves" be-
comes, " Count cash as though they
were gold" cash being coin of the
smallest denomination. Again: GA
rolling stone gathers no moss" is
translated, "The swallow pastering
its nest is labor lost this being a
very happy allusion to the migratory
habits of that bird. Preparing is
preventing" an old English expires
sion, has its Counterpart in " Get the
coffin ready and the mau won, de-"
while TOO many cooks will spoil
the broth is rendered by the curious
expression, " Seven hands and eight
feet" " There's a black sheep in
every flock" becomes, "Crows are
black all the world over" And the
oft-quoted saying of Robbing
Peter to pay Paul, assums the form,
" To pull down the western wall to
repair the eastern. Speaking of
the scarcity of good men, the Chi
nese say, There are two good men;
one of them is dead, the other is ILL.,
born. ''-Chamber's journal.
