THE Stars found out by this time which

The fireworks of remarks were closed
up by an enthusiast shouting, What's the

This was, Of course, supplemented by

corner feebly remarked: hts all right"
but the mighty voice of the populace
yelled:
"Niu"
And so the minutes passed by, fives,
tens, and fifteens. No other bulletin than
the last mentioned was posted by the Star.
This silence on the part Of our esteemed
contemporary was taken deeply to heart
by Star adherents, who still hung around
the bulletin boards.
They mad stood the guying OF The Times
with stoical demeanor all this time, hoping
TO prove the truth of the saying that he
laughs best who laughs last. Whenever
man could escape without attracting
comment or jeer he would do so.
To cut the story Short in the neighbor-
hood of $50 O'Clock, just as The Times

awaited the latest news from the water.

yachting cap on, ponderously endeavored by
