SOME REFLECTIONS.
| know a lot of Dooleys. and some Dink-
elspiels and Bowsers.
A bunch OF ChimrIie Feddens and some
katzenjammers, too;
I used to know John Henry and his
crowd of boon earousers;
Some Spoopencykes and Hogans were
among the folks 1 knew.
And yet never heard them do this keen
philosopfizing.
Or talk on current topics in their daz-
zling style of wit;
1 never saw them do thing amusing or
surprising.
Nor heard them say a single thing that
ought to make q hit
One reads of all sparkling jests of Dink-
elspiel and DooIey,
And notes the subtle fancy that John
Henry has in print
Why there are David Harums all about
but l say truly,
OF all their mots and epigrams they
never give a hint
We wonder why it is that they in life
are moderated,
And why these joy-inducing things
they never speak
Until by some astuteness they are sold
and syndicated
And put upon the market at a given
rate per week.
Who knows but in the future one of us

And known the world around as quite a
scintillating creature
Because some other fellow will think
up our wit for US.

COMET VISIBLE.

A big comet that is attracting
the attention of the scientific
world at present is visible to the
naked eye any clear night, and is
growing brighter In few days
it's tail will probably be visible.
Borrelly, a Frenchman, first saw
it floating into the view of the
telescope at Marselles, on June 81.
Since then it has been travelling at
terrific pace toward the sun, un-
til now IT is seventeen times as
bright as when first seen. On Au-
gust % it will pass the sun and
begin to grow DINNER and DINNER
until it disappears again.
1t is not like most stars, but has
a milky, cloudy look instead Of
being a point. The comet can be
seen between 9 and 10 o'clock.
Standing in a position exactly
facing the north, find the point
directly over your head. Then let
your gaze travel from that point
directly north for about one
fourth of the distance from this
point to the horizon. The comet
can be readily recognized by its
dist notify cloudy appearance. In
case the sky is obscured it
can ba seen the succeeding
night in place little northwest
of this point, as that is the direc-
ton it is travelling. 1t is hard to
say if the comet will ever again
come into view of this world.
According to the measurements
of the new comet based on photo
graphs taken by the Yale observers
the tail of the comet is at least
100000 miles long.

YOUTHFUL MURDERERS
Pay the Penalty Of the Crime at
Lexington--.0ie Game.

Earl Whitney, of Nashville,
Tenn, and Claude O'Brien, of
Memphis, Tenn, were hanged at
sos a. m. at Lexington on Friday
morning, in the Jail yard of the
Fayette county Jail. The boys ate
a hearty breakfast and at 1870 O.
clock were dressed for the scaffold.
Both we're so calm that they elici-
ted comment from all of the off,
cials.
Two priests at 6 o'clock admin
istered communion. Both prison
ers said that they felt better and
were ready to die The death
march commenced at 1857 a. m.
Whitney smiled from the scaffold
at the crowds. Both shook hands
with the priests. O'Brien's lips
moved in prayer as his hands were
tied. Both replied they did not
have anything to say.
1t was 2:39 o'clock on the NOR
ming of October IL, 1902. when
O'Brien and Whitney entered the
home of A. B. Chinn, a wealthy
merchant and ex-confederate SOL
dier, and with revolvers in hand
demanded that the oil gentleman
produce his money. Their voices
awakened Mrs ChinD, who screa-
med. Asa Chinn, the son, had re-
turned from dance only short
time before, aud had not fallen
asleep. He made his way to the
door OF his parents room. but
one of the burglars saw him and
they commenced shooting. Asa
Chinn also opened fire. The elder
Chinn had raised up and was sit
ting On the side of the bed. He
was shot through the body. The
boys then ran from the room over
the form of Asa Chinn, who also
had been shot and was lying on
the floor, using his revolver as he
best could. Whitney was wound
ed in the left knee. The elder
Chinn, MORALLY wounded, attemp-
ted to assist his con and got up out
of bed aud went to the door, and
dropped dead.
The boys were CAPTURED a few
days later near Lexington, but
owing to rumors of lynching were
removed to Louisville for safe
keeping. O'Brien was Is year,
old and his home was in Memphis.
Earl Whitney WAS one year his
senior and has relatives in Nash
vile, Tenn.
Strong efforts were made by re-
latives TO save the boys from the
death penalty, but to no avail.
