"SHAKY!"
The McRosebery. "EH—BUT I'D LIKE FINE TO BE WELL OVER THIS 'BRIGG'!"
[Brigg polling day, Friday, December 7.]
Waif and Stray.—A very touching incident was recently recorded in the Times. It appears that news was received from the astronomical station at Kiel to the effect that "a very faint comet had been discovered by Mr. Edward Smith. It was moving slowly towards the east." Wounded it may be by a shooting star, and "moving," perhaps crawling, to finish its existence in the east. Was ever heard a more moving tale than this of the crawling comet! Alas! Ere now it may be ... but the subject is too pathetic for words.
