into smithereens, md fragments will
go flying away throughout UNIVERSAL
space. Our m0untaina, 70 k-ribbed
and ancient as the sun, will be hurl-
ed from their foundations with ter
rife thud. Old ocean will be dried
up at one gulp, and cities will he
t1uLg into the waste by wrathful
hand. Meteors, riding sleeds shod
with lightning, will ch rye through
the heavens shouting The death knell
of nations. The destruction viii be
complete and death jawed tempests
will howl above he WrecE, chasing
grim ruin in one final charge. The
fact OF the business is, this old moth
er earth will resemble q terraqueous
speck when confronted by that
comet. 1t will be brushed out OF the
way as easily as the de~s of morning
beiorethe summers sun. This is ON y
a part OF the desOlstion now being
pruphesied by the "wise men Of the
East They predict almost every
thing and seem to ignore the fact
that One greater by far than they is
shaping the destinie5 OF this world.
1t is He VINO guides the wandering
comets in their tracks and maps out

scare will be gone before Christmas
and the world will still "gO rounu

That Oomat.

The scientiEc WOrld1S engaged nov
In discussing the comet WHICH Seems
to be headed in the direction Of The
earth with para yzing velocity. Ac-
cording to Prof. Young, of Princeton
College, this is Biela's comet. Bi, la,
m Austrian officer, according to this
report, discovered it in 1926. Gm
bert, n Frenchmsn, delerGuined its
period, that is, she time requir d to
comp etc a revolution OF its orbit--a
fraction over six years. For this
reason the comet is also known AS
Gambert's. Ii returned In 1882 and
was clearly visible, ut when AZ sp
peared again cit was visible above
the horizon only In the daytime, so
that Its light was ohscured by NE
brighter rays of the sun. Ii was on
Its temperance in 1916 that II al
tr cted greater attention y splitti <
into two pieces. These two parts
were hurled through space at terri
be speed until they were one hun
dred and sixty thousand miles apart
For nearly Ave months the parts
travelled Side by side at this distance,
showing no signs of mutual
attraction, but connected ny a
faint banb Of Il which
caused the two parts ha likened to
the Siamese twins. 1t WAS abou,
this time that the "stars felI," as the
saying goes. The heavy meteoric
showers frightened the negroes ans
the illlterate whites into almost
panic and there are ante-belum
slaves now living who still speak Of
this phenomena with awe. When
next the comet, Dr comets, appeared
the parts were over q million miles
apart. That was the last seen Of
them, although astronomers have
since carefully watched the heavens,
until 1872 and 1856, when they reap
peared, accompanied ny other meteor
ic showers. Now, here is point
which astronomers are at variance.
Some OF them contend that when
this comet burst in 1856 it became two
electrical comets; the parts have en-
tirely separated from each other and
have periodic. times of appearance
entirely dissimi!ar. However, this
may be, huge comet many times
larger than the earth in bearing down

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 25.-From the
bar to the senatel This record has been
made many times, but never before has
its literal rendering carried 80 much
meaning. Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, who
is now candidate for United States
senator, a woman of national notoriety
of kind made her first appearance
before the public as barmaid at beer
stand at a Wichita picnic. Not longer
ago than 1884, when the picnic ard
dance were the common amusements It
Wichita. Mrs. Leases father and hus-
band held the privilege of running bars
at these gatherings, and Mary was the
presiding angel who dispensed the foamy
beverage to the thirsty Kansan. This
was before she commenced to study
law.
Prior to the memorable Alliance cam
paign Of 1890 Mrs. Lease divided her
time between her home and real estate
speculation, being moderately success
full in the latter. AS soon as the AL
lance was fully organized she saw her
opportunity, and being gifted with un.
usual power of speech, she became a
lecturer, and WAS at once given place
as one of the leaders of that organiza-
ton.

A FAMILY REUNION.

A Pleasant Family Affair at the Lloyd
Residence.
Last evening there was a family reunion
at the residence of Joseph and Mary
Lloyd, on West Centre street. 1t was the
first time for all the members of the
family to get together in fourteen years
and consequently it was very pleasant
and gratifying affair to those interested.
Those present besides Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd
were their sons and daughter, Rev. John
Lloyd, of Wilkes Barre Rev. Joseph
Lloyd, Cataraugus, N. Y; Thomas w.
Lloyd, Brownsville, and Miss Mary and
j. w. Lloyd, of town. The reunion was
quite surprise to the old folks, as the
arrival of the visiting sons WAS quite un-
expected. The family table was bounti-
fully spread and all who occupied seats
about it was delighted to again feel the
influence of Home, Sweet Home"

Self Praise.

Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself.
When what he says is supported by the
testimony of others no reasonable man will
doubt his word. Now, to say that Allcocks
Porous Plssters are the only genuine and
reliable porous plasters made is not self
praise in the slightest degree. They have
stood the test for over thirty years, and in
proof of their merits it is only necessary to
call attention to the cures they have effected
aud to the voluntary testimonials of those
who have used them
Beware of limitations, and do not be
deceived by misrepresentation, Ask foI
Allcock's, and let no solicitation or ex-
planation induce you to accept a substitute.
