POOR OLD MAN.

After admitting that he is an amateur
in the newspaper business which Is
generally known anyhow. lie proceed
ed to repeat his time worn perform
ance of making a fool of himself by
attempting to discount an extended
special local article filled with new
and interesting facts concerning one
OF the great criminal cases in the his

alone had the enterprise to secure

manner as this one was. so highly in
spite of the ''novlce's" objection. If
The article had not been widely read
and commented upon and proved to
be important. it naturally would not
have been so distasteful to Uncle
Avery. who realizes that he can't
keep abreast so must run behind and
bark. However the fact that the poor
fellow cuts out one OF his syndicate
editorials" in order to get in an at
tack on this paper doubtless proves
a refreshing variety to his few read
ers. The fact that the Sentinel last
night was the only paper that gave
complete. accurate and reliable de-
tails of the three vastly important
events of Monday. will probably call
forth a few more disgusting attacks
upon this paper.
