Biela's comet didn't smash the
world into jam last Sunday night as
was promised by some of the astrono-
mers but the Tear that ltwould do so,
was the means of many people prepar-
ing themselves for change of condit-
ion. 1t is said to have caused quite a
s'stirring up" among the editorial
fraternity at Bowling Green and it is
reported that the editors of the Sent
incl held q long consolation and de-
cided to do all they could, in the short
time remaining, toward "squaring"
things before being wiped off this ter
restrial sphere with oae mighty sweep
of the comets tail, and accordingly
they held private meeting within the
innermost apartment 'of the sanctum.
~ WeS hoo piofOi 'hSOoihS, ooo " oot "
of good-for-the-soul confessional.
During this meeting sudulph was on
his knees, having learned how to get
in that position when young, but
Brewer, by reason of having never
learned how to bend the knee, sat flat
upon the floor, being careful to put a
cushion beneath himself, and during
this confession they.decided to ackOwl-
edge that there were other newspapers
IN Wood county besides the Sentinel :;
that it was all bluff about the Sentinel
being the euly paper that did any good
for The Republican party in Wood
county: and that they were satisfied
they were not entitled to ALL the
county advertising and job printing
that Saxby, Wilkinson, Speck, and
even Old Blue were entitled to share !;
that they were sorry they had not
worked harder for the election of
Biggs; that they didn't really want
Hon. B. +. James to die young; that
John Hankey was entitled to all the
political glory he could get; and that
the especial telegraph" in the Daily
was all ''boiler plate" The acknowl-
cdgment OF so many things was very
painful and tiresome and they stopped
for rest and time to think of other
things. Rudulph>wa the first to break
the deathlike stiffness by saying
~Pardner, wouldn't it be we'll to for
give Jessy for voting for Foraker ?" The
Colonel swallowed great lump, and
murmered "Oh, how suffer! Yes,
suppose the poor cuss did just what 1
would have done. had l been in his fix,
and l forgive him" "Shall we ac-
knowledge Long Van Is running u
newspaper ?" piped in poor Polly. AT
this Brewer bounced up from his cush-
ion, took off his big black hat, threw
it on the floor and jumping on it said
N'See here, YOU simpering idiot! Listen
to me! I'm willing'tO pay up what l
owe on the minister's salary; I'll
acknowledge that John Hankey knows
ilOTc pollUlCS III IL uiiNuUc Gildu L uO Ill
month; I'll recognize Jesse James
Rufe Moore, Liant Muir, Dick Biggs
and Andy Mears shine with the bright
ness OF the MONDAY sun while only
boast the brilliancy Ola tallow candle,
but when it comes to giving in on Long
Van, dang me If I'll do it. No sir
Biela's comet can smash me; can grind
me up too fine to stuff into Weiner-
wurst, but I'll never come down to Long
Van, never !" and then he walked into
the press room and swallowed a few
pints of concentrated lye to quench the
fire within him, while Radulph burned
a bag of feathers in the sanctum to
kill the smell of birthstone.
