. S; o* n+ r; \- n: \& }; @1 v
; i7 b* m- A! c0 J7 D+ YAS it is well known that the 'wise men' in the Bible came 'from the East,' and as Mr. Touch-and-go Bullet-head came from the East,  Mr. Bullet-head was therefore a wise man; and if further proof of the matter is  needed, here we have it- Mr. B. was an editor. A bad temper was his only weakness; he did not consider  his inablility ever to changer his mind a weakness. It was, his firmly believed, his strong point.
. Q  [& w( V+ _1 h% v   I have shown that Touch-and-go Bullet-head was a wise man; and the only occasion on which he was not wise was when, leaving the proper home for all wise men, the East, he moved to the city of Alexander-the-Great-o-nopolis, or some place of a similar title, out West.

have the field all to himself. I feel confident he never would have

had he been aware that, in Alexander-the-Great-o-nopolis, there lived

opposite to that of the 'Daily News,' and, on the third morning after0 T0 @+ E; w' J1 t5 I3 o6 T
his arrival, issued the first number of 'The Alexan' -- that is to$ h+ |2 e+ ~8 W2 n8 m3 g3 {8 N

for the editor of 'The Daily News,' he was torn all to pieces in: Y6 Y$ g9 {0 h( v1 ]
particular. Some of Bullethead's remarks were really so fiery that I
