Excerpt from God's Puppets
IN that early and unlovely day in our national life when men coming home from the Civil War still regarded pain-giving as one of the high vir tues, the times-globe never referred to Colonel Longford less gently than as that human orang utan. His presence was esteemed by the same authority and in those days as a portable plague spot. In a great black sheet-iron box locked with a log-chain and padlock a box whereon the edi tor's rifle rested, a mute token of his willingness to assist might in making right Were filed away records of the evil men had done in the town, in the county, in the State and in the nation. That box was a kind of black Ark of the Covenant which the editor kept with his fellows, and in the box.
