Show BOARD WAS NOT HARMED experiment S showed candle would not penetrate plank to the editor of the sun sir some scone one in the columns ot of the sun eald said he shot a candle through a pine board one inch thick and the sun advised those who mho were skeptical to make the experiment for themselves acting on the suggestion I 1 took my old queen anne and put about five fingers of the best powder in her and then a it candle and as all the boards out or doors have about nine nitie feet of snow on top of cheri them I 1 took the hot torn tom board of my bunk in the camp and stuck it ln fn the snow about seven seven fathoms distant and fired when I 1 got to the target I 1 found the candle had struck all right but it had not even dinted the board and was flattened out flatter than my pocketbook after I 1 had bought my winters winter rum I 1 came to the conclusion that some one was telling the sun some damn lies however I 1 did not lose the candle altogether 1 I scraped it off of the board and took it back into tho camp and tried fried pancakes with it tor for my supper A lover of truth herring cove N S feb 17 new now york sun |
