GLOBE SIGHTS

(From the Atchfson Globe.)
The men who belong to the lodge, are
great men to run for office.
Women have certain notions. and it
does no good to combat them
Every day is the worst day for an
nOyance that people can recall
Nothing makes a man quite so mad
as to have woman insist on marrying
him, whether he is willing or not.
When a dealer once gets a stock of
Christmas goods on hand, he must
keep on buying, and carrying over.
A girl who has had a good deal of
experience with lovers, says that girls
generally prefer a dollar show to hold
ing hands.
Poets say that a thing will happen
ION the morrow" instead of on Wed
nesday, or Tuesday, or whatever the
day may actually be.
There is one thing you can always de-
pend upon when a man says a good
thing, and that is, if you hang around
him, you will hear him say it again.
1t must be a terrible afiiction to
have a daughter marry during the hOl-
idays, and be caught for Christmas
and wedding presents at the same time.
The only men who make any pretence
of being interested in the conversation
of women, are those who are not mar
ried to them, or who are trying to sell
them something.
What great possibilities in the WO-
man who has never entertained! She
can criticise anybody, make fun of ev-
cry party, and no one can criticise her.
1t is such a well defended position that
we wonder more women don't remain
secure in it, instead of rushing out to
gave parties, and getting abused for it.

The pumping engine in the mine was also

will get work again. The mines are To-

bar mill has been shut down for some time.

had been meted out to them as a reward
for their political support last fall.
