CFrom the Atchison Globe)
"A Woman's call has postscript, the
same as her letters.
We think ''solemnized'' a better word
to use in getting a divorce than in get
ting married.
A musical laugh is one brought forth
by one of your own jokes; all other
laughs are more or less grating.
When woman is anxious about her
husband there is a glitter in her eye
that does not show. at any other time.
Every woman, according to the story
she tells to her second husband, was
forced into her first marriage by the
wishes of her parents.
We have only one objection to Ole

We have never yet seen a man to
Whom snort pants and golf stockings
were becoming. We wonder that any
woman would speak to a man when
dressed in any such style.
An AtchiSon man claims that his wife
before she died, made him promise that
he would marry again within twQyears.
There is much indignation among the
women, who do not believe the tale, and
who think he concocted it as an excuse
for a speedy marriage.
An Atchison man has taken his three
small children to visit his mother in
order to give his wife rest. But how
about the mother? Some one should in
form married people with children that
their parents have raised one batch
and it is unjust to load second on their
hands.

An Atchison young man who worked
hard all day and visited his girl every
evening has succumbed to the natural
exhaustion that would follow such a
drain upon his strength. Making love
is work that only the men who have
