ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.

In speaking to a church oma call
them whist cards, instead of playing
cards. AS whist cards, she doesn't
think 1t wrong to keep them in her
Bible.

real silver thimble for ten cents, and IL
very nice sterling silver button hook

When boys go fishing, and begin
throwing rocks into the water, it is Il

catch any fish.
If a Justly indignant father gave his

Society dictates that when a man
meets II lady on the streets, and is
smoking Il cigar, he must throw the
cigar away, wen if costs 20 cents. We
refuse to do it; we will give up society
first.
Society men who think they are eX-
pert whips should get up early when
Il circus to town, and see the
ragged, u"nShaven circus men drive
eight horses. The circus men hold
eight ribbons and drive around sharp
curves, up steep grades and down
sharp inclines with perfect ease. Some
times, the driver rips out a string of
oaths, but it is never more than five
minutes long. If n circus driver should
ever break into society, he would Gre
ate a sensation if he had occasion
to handle the ribbons of a tally-ho.
1t is a trial for a modest man to visit
a dry goods store now, owing to the
displays Of underwear for women. One
Atchison merchant has his best win
dow filed with women's underwear,
and a woman's figure is used to show
it. There Is something majestic about
a naked man, if shown in connection
with feats of heroism or strength, as is
usually the case, but the naked figure
of a woman, if shown in connection
with underwear, becomes horrible.
The more completely Il Is
dressed, the better she looks.
The woman who is in it up to her

wearing rabbits heads in their hats!
Rabbits are becoming a great pest, and
some inducement must be found for
getting them killed. Is there not also
some part Of the snake that could be
made an article Of fashion? Snakes
and rabbits are a pest. but why should
the woman pursue the birds! There
are not too many birds in the woods.

The Demagogue's Bill of Fare

A certain candidate for a city v-dice,
so the story goes, made it a rule that
callers should be admitted to see him
at any moment, even if he were at ta-
BILE, says the Youths Companion. This
rule, it is needless to say, applied only
before election. When he was seated
one day at a meal of ~canvasback duck
and champagne, and his maid-servant
announced that a deputation of men
from the ward was waiting in the hall
to see him, he did not order these ar
ticles removed until he had found out
who the men were. "They looks like
workin'men, sir" said the maid. Then
quick, Bridget! Take off the duck and
the wine and bring ne some cold
chicken and a cup of coffee" The
servant did as she was bid. She had
gone out of the room after executing
the order, and the politician was de-
voting himself in a somewhat gingerly
way to the cold chicken, when the girl
came rushing in again. 1--WE just
found out, sir" she said. that theya
a delegation of poor, half~starved strik-
in tailors from the sweatshops." The
politician gave a long whistle. "Ah,
then, if that's the case, Bridget, take
off the chicken and coffee and Just

water and show them in"-Youth's

THREE MEN KILLED.

A FrightfuI Explosion OF Nitro-Giycerine
at the RepaunO Chemical Work-The
Building Rose Bodily in the Air, q Great
Hole In the Ground Markin the Spot
Where 1t Had Stood-Another Explosion.
WOODBURY., n. j., March 27.-An ex-
ploSion occurred yesterday at the Re.
pauno chemical works at Gibstown.
Three men were killed and others in
jured.
THE DEAD.
Thompson Stiles.
Charles Wright.
David Hamilton.
The Repauno works are operated by
the Duponts (of powder making fame),
and are used for the manufacture of
nitrO-glycerine and gun cotton. The
buildings are one-story frame struc-
lures, separated some distance from
each other. The works have been very
busy of late, and the force of employees
was larger than usual.
The explosion yesterday occurred in
the separating house, where the nitro
glycerine goes through one of the most
delicate and dangerous processes. The
three men who were blown to atoms
were the only occupants of the build
ing and the cause of the explosion an
not be learned. 1t was 1920 o'clock
when the explosion occurred and it
made a tremendous noise.
At Paulsboro the shock was so great
that the residents ran from their
houses in alarm. Some of the work
men who were passing through the
yard of the nitroglycerine works say
they saw the separating house rise
bodily in the air and then they were
thrown to the ground by the awful
blast. Workmen in the other build
ingS of the plant a out and fled for
their lives, fearing additional explo-
Sions. After a lapse of a few minutes,
however, when the danger had passed
they returned and began to search for
their unfortunate fellow-workmen.
Where the separating house had stood
there was a great hole in the ground,
and the trees for 800 yards around were
denuded of their limbs and twisted by
the force of the explosion. The bodies
of the victims had been blown into
fragments which were found scattered
for a considerable distance around.
