O—o—o—o—o- Curiosltv is a strange thing. Were it not that I fear of being accused of attempting to get a plav on my words or to manufacture a poor Joke, I wwuld sav that it is a curious thing. But T will forbear. This dav and time one can find un mistakable signs of this symptom, or malady, or whatever it might be classed, anytime and almost any where. Few, if any places, escape. A printing office, holding, as it does, many things strange and out of the ordinary to the uninitiated, naturally possesses strange fascination to a newsgatherer seeking things of such a mature. Chief among those furnish ing enlightment ou the wiles and va garies of curiosity are the sons and daughters of Ham. Three of this highly-colored race appeared in the office of The Ledger Saturday with the idea of looking around, stating as they did so, that they hail fallen vic tims to the prev of curiosity and had been referred to the printing office as the most suitable place to appease their thirst for strajige and weird things. And I feel perfect!*' safe in Asserting that they were perfectly cure,! when they slowly and sadly took their departure. The tbref. now under consideration hove in sight earlv Saturday morning and when I arrived on the scene of opera: ions they were all three busily engaged itr' inspecting the linotyoe machine. As this worthy has been previously honored by a write-up in this ‘‘Busted Bubbles” dolumns. we will take it for granted that it proved far too tame for their important ob servations and that they shortly hied themselves to another part of the building. Of all ih-' job presses and other terrible things in appearance, the useful little article known as the folder seemed to possess the most powerful fascination for fhe curios ity seekers. Around it thev (fluster ed, and when an obliging printer it in motion their surprise and ap- orova] was unlimited. They, as re formers, were very successful indeed, and should anv unbeliever chance to stray this wav and express a doubt as to the greatness and powerful in fluence of that charm—curiosity— then 1 will dispatch a messenger poet baste fo- our visitors of Saturday and when thev hive ’Hit in appearance I wil] turn on the folder and the scoffer can gaze, and gazing rapidl - become convinced that curiosity is a great and glorious thinw. as thev say when speaking about the fourth of July & Did the Cow Lay Egqs?. O—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—O While thinking of nothing a few days ago, a thought, strayed into my mind that, try as I would. I could not dispel. This strange thought stead fastly refused to take tangible form, and vet I could pot g«* it altogether in the background amidst the whirl of other thoughts. Later in the day I saw a gentleman in the city, and as soon as I saw him it occurred to me that Jr> some manner, either directly or Indirectly, this gentleman was in terested in that, thought which, as I look back at, it. seemed to take the shape of a dream. Thinking that pos sibly without arousing hfs suspicion I might draw from him what was troubling him, I approached and en gaged him in conversation. The first words he uttered placed me in mv right mind again anld incidentally paved the wav for this little “bubble.” The\ were: “That cow of mine 7ou had laying eggs i« now taking a rest.” Then in a rush of memoriee it all came back to me, how the press of several States had made fun of one of my first attemps to write a news item and had Joked and twitted The Ledger for possessing such a bum man on its staff for many a long dav anti only recently had the glare and burst of eloouence on their part ceased in regard to the matter. It was all brought about by my being assigned to write up a mammoth hog that Mr. C. G. Phillips, of Corinth, had killed, ajid this being about mv first attempt naturally I made a blunder in some part of it. The mistake causing the above head to be placed over this little story when he reads the clip ping which follows, which appeared in the columns of The Ledger of Decem ber 15th. 1905: “Mr. C. G. Phillips, of Corinth, called at The Ledger office Wednes day and renewed. Mr. Phillips killed a mammoth hog recently. Mr. Phil lips also has a record for eggs and butter, having sold 150 dozen eggs and 130 pounds of butter from one cow since May of this y*&r.” Naturally this rather unusual an nouncement appearing in the columns of a supposedly reliable newspaper created quite a stir in the newspaper world of this section, and it was for the time being almost the sole topic of thought. It has recently subsided, and when the though* came rushing over me time and time again the other day I regarded It a* an inspiration to tell the Joke, as I can do so now with a hearty relish, something that I could not have done shortly after the occur rence, as I was very much chagrined over the incident. I may add. that the strangest thing about the incident is that I am stiU with The Ledger and able to tell the story through its col umns. I will explain this by saying that I faithfully .promised never to again err. if Possible, ajid to look be fore I leap, henceforth when I write articles of a nature that may thrust upon poor Inoffensive animals facul ties that thev de not rightfully pos sess.
