Glass eye explodes as he looks at pie

by on Thursday, March 9th, 2017

Chicago.—Just as he was gazing with interest at a piece of pie, F. K Cosgrove’s glass eye exploded and he fell from his chair to the floor of a restaurant. He was soon revived.

Cosgrove is a farmer who lives near North Vernon and went to Hammond, Ind., on business. While there he ate in a restaurant, and a waitress was just bringing a piece of pie when his eye burst.

The eye had only been obtained a day or two before, and replaced his own eye, which was recently destroyed by an explosion of dynamite.

Niki-missing-posterReturning today after a nice visit with family up north, I was just in time for the Krewe Bayou meeting at the Fairy. After the meeting, I was made to understand that my own newspaper has published articles containing wild rumors regarding my absence.

I hear that Mayor Godenot paid some sort of bogus ransom for my unkidnapped self, and that soon after, some rabbit bought every last alligator pear in town.

I have not been made into pie, but I do have what looks like a good recipe for rabbit pie, which I would like to share with Miss Lapin. If anyone sees her, please let me know where she is, as I would also like to get back the spare set of keys for the Tattler building (and never, ever leave them in her charge again).


Nikita Weymann is the editor of the New Toulouse Tattler. She would make a terrible ingredient for pie.
