GOODBYE MAOKEREL!

Only few more hours and the hfackeres
will vanish from our clingtnR gaze They
came among us like m exhalation. they
sprang up Ia the night like toad-stool. No
ono had heard Of them before. no one was
expecting them they Just materialzed. And
now they are going The evening of election
day will find them dIssoving In thin air, re-
turning to their original atoms. There will
be a. thrill Ia the armament. a Whit as OF the
fish market at midday, and then the Mack
erels WILL be gone, no more to revisit the
glimpses OF tho mooni
This Is q solemn and sad reelection. We
had hoped to keep the Maekerels always with
u.s. We wanted Jewell, and we wantel
Tucker-in fact, we wanted the whole ticket.
They would have served useful purposes In
the future. We could have placed the::s, as 1t
were. But we fear that as the election re-
turns roll n, the Mackeres will pale their
phosphorescent glare beneath sweet Luna s
face and that the work OF decomposition will
be concluded It is melancholy. Wohad grown
to love Jewell and his lieutenant, Tucker, and
the small though risky company under
their command. Everybody knows what al
attractive person Jewell Is how he sinks iGto

Everybody now knows what d deserv-

can look down the Antl-Rng ticket ut that
dazzling list OF office-grabbers and sec what
the community will lose when the Mackerele

We could sit up and weep over them next
Tuesday night as they slowly and lngeringly
peter out. We could engage Sainbola to fire
one melancholy blank cartridge over the re-
mains IL we thought 1t possible to find SarnboIa
after the disappearance OF the Mackerels
We could do any thing expressive OF oui
grief, and commemorative Of our Christian
resignation But let us not be ostentatious
In our affection; let US not parade the an
gulsh which 1t causes US to witness the trans
migration OF Jewell, the eyanishment Of
Tucker, the dissolution OF the Mackerels
They will silently leave the earth In pillars
of excruciating fragrance and tlutter away
upon carrion wing, and each heart will know
It's own grief. That Is enough. No noisy Ia
mentations for us-no pomp and circum
stance of woe Farewell oh balmy Maekerel-
oh, odorous visitation Good bye! Let the eye
pump wildly work and the deep, heart
broken snufflle play tune OF wretchedn ess
