About seVenty-fVe years ago 1t was
last seen in the vicinity of the earth'
but it didn't have time to stay any
length of time, and departed almost at
once for other parts of our solar sys-
tenn.
The people of the world were more
interested in Mr.. Hallys comet than
in others which have visited here from
time to time owing, doubtless, to the
fact that it has a larger and more ex-
pressive tail than any other comet
It's tail is, in fact visible to the
naked eye, and is kept extended at all
times, like that of a pointer dog, While
other comets have habit of drawing
their tails up between their legs, so
that the casual observer IS not able 10
distinguish one of these from the or
binary, or garden variety, of stars. FOR
some reason or other the general pub
lie failed to become deeply interested
in any comet which did not have
well-defined tail. The people had been
fooled so often that they insisted on
every comet that came around demand
ing recognition keeping its tail in PLAIN
sight at all times.

this aversion to tailless comets mani

ing the black coffee and the nuts, how
it happened that Pinchot and Ballinger
both were right, and why it is that the
rates on raw material must be lowered
so that everybody will eventually be
able to find time to play golf occa-
sionally And with all these things
weighing upon their minds, the peo-
pie of the United States refused to
stand for any tailless comets.
"Give u.s." the people cried, some
thing in the way of comets that will
command our respect, and that we can
nave every confidence in, else we shall
not care for it at all"
Prof Pickering of Harvard, during
the fall of this year, stated positively
that Mr.. Halley's comet, which was

annoying people on the street, after she
had told him that she would be down
in a minute. According to the testi-
mony, after saying that she would be
down in minute, this lady did ma
liciously, feloniously and with malice
aforethought, decide to put several
more pins in her back hair, open her
handbag and rub another dab of pow
der on her face, view the condition of
her puffs in the glass nine times, feel
of her belt in the back, to see if it was
set properly, change the gloves she
had intended to wear for another pair
telephone to her friend for the third
time that she was about to start, rub
more powder on the bridge of her nose,
notify the chauffeur, for the second
time, that she would be down in min
ute and then look in the glass for five
minutes to be sure that she was all
right.
The Judge informed her that he
would let her off with a light fine, see
ing that this was the first time she
had been caught and brought into
court but if the crime was repeated,
he said. she would be sent to Jail and
placed in a cell where there was no

caused the lady to shudder and
brought tears to her eyes, hardened
criminal though she was.
19O9-The arrival in the United
States of both DR.. Frederick A. Cook
and Commander Robert e. Peary, fol-
lowing their respective discoveries of
the north pole, late in the fall of this
YEAR brought no cessation of the talk
regarding who first reached the pole
Both DR. Cook and Commander Peary
presented statements and produced eV-
idence to show that ne was the origlna'
d1seOverer of the pole, and pretty soon
the public began to produce evidence
to show that it didn't care so much
which one of them discovered the pole
first, provided they would produce evl,
dence to show that the pole had really
been discovered and would stay so fol
all time to come.
The question of whether DR.. Cook
left a gumdrop at Etah or UpernaVik
uron his return from the pole soon
failed to interest the general public
