yesterday, and as much or more to-day
The receipts will be about $4,000 for

"About Q o'clock Thursday night In
looking at the sky f>r minute, count

who is somewhat Interested in celestial
affairs. "The model theory OF meteorS
traces them directly to the sun. The
corona is meteoric Slatter elected from
the solar body, as a:e the zodlcal light
and aurora. These latter are the disin-
tegrated atoms OF Hs1teoric matter scat
tered through the air, rendered visi-
bic by electricity. The periodic
recurrence of metGor-streams In our
heavens has led TO = demonstration OF
the existence and @he discovery OF the
elements Of at least two meteor-or6lts.
These orbits cut .he earth's path so
that in August and stovember the earth
passes through the meteoric dust. 1t

The ingenuity Of Young America, and
his ability TO fool hip elders is proven
bal. A South SidO lad, who had ex-
hausted his eloqueEse in an effort to
| induce his maternal ancestor TO give
him the price of admission TO a church
social last week, furnishes case in
point He hit upon happy plan, and
worked ii successfully. He presented
himself at the door Of the church with
q neatly wrapped bundle, which he said
| he wanted TO deliver to one or the Ia
| dies inside. He was passed in and made
his way to a dark cHrner, where he cut
the cord which secured the bundle and
dropped the contents Of the package-a
brick.
A great many Wheeling people have
been caused considerable anxiety by
the published reports of the probability
of a collision between Biela's comet and
this mundane sphere. A South Side
lady confessed to friend that she
prayed every night ia order to prepare
| herself for the catastrophe, and Mar
tins Ferry lady said she didn't feel
! like working" She wanted TO gather
the family together by Saturday-the
the day the collision was advertised to
occur.
A we'll known Wheeling business
man, who is an ardent disciple of Isaak
Walton, tells this story OF a fishing
camp.
He was one Of a party who camped on
| Fishing Creek, along in August. The
| psrty had been moro successful in for
aging expeditions than in gathering
| specimens of the fnny tribe, until one
dsy IL was agreed that all would set out
next morning, and the man who re-
turned with the biggest string of fish
would be declared "king" CT the camp.
He sat for five hours with the tenn
perature lowering near the 100 degree
mark, and was about'to return dis
guSted, when he eSpied a country Jacob
coming along the bank of the creek,
carving string of fsh-big fellows,
and as many as he could handle. Then
he began 10 see visions Of crown and
sceptre.
"Where did you get those fshP I've
been here half a day, and haven't had
more than a bite" he remarked to the
gentleman from the rural districts.
oval, you'ns town fellers don't know
how to fish," drawled the countryman.
"What will you take for them?"
Don't want t. sell EN-"
Gan right, friend. Would you like a
drink of whisky" producing a we'll
filled flask.
81 amt carin'."
The farmer took "pull" from the
flask, smacked his lips and calculated:
Gosh, stranger, where d ye get that
at?"
"Down at Sunfsh."
"Ain't no such Ticker as that at Sun
fish, stranger"
well, now, my friend, what'll you
! take for the fSh?'
"Gimme the rest O. that Ticker"
The transfer was quickly made, and
the Wheeling man marched proudly
| back to camp, where the rest OF the
| bows greeted him with
"Hail to the king! Long live the
king"
But his power was short lived. A
few days later the countryman strolled
into camp and gave the snap dead away.
Then he was dethrened and given the
mental position of disbwasher.
This is the season OF the year when
the average Wheeling girl is boarding
uu her pin money TO buy a suitable
Christmas present for her best beau;
and Charlie is saving dollar every week,
too. although, of course, he wouldn't
admit IL, to purchase a gift for
his adored one. 1t is not difficult
