ATChISON GLOBE SIGHTS.

WhAn a man calls on an old girl,
there is great excitement in the neigh
borhood until it Is learned that he
called to sell her a new brand of blue
ing, or on some other matter Of busi-
ness.
As soon as a man dies, his women
folks recall that he had "favorite'
hymns, which they ask to be sung at
the funeral. This happens in many
cases where the deceased would be
greatly surprised at the discovery, II
he knew Of 1t.
The word Friendship" Is abused al
most as much as the word '1ove."
Nearly every person seems to expect a
great deal of love and friendship with
out giving anything in return, and
makes a great fuss because of disap-
podntment. Nearly all drafts on friend
ship are protested.
Every one fears that If he should be-
come delirious, he would give away all
his secrets, and trot out every skeleton
in his private closet. Calm yourself.
People who are delirious tell nothing
they know. An Atchison man who
was recently % near death that he
heard Moses sfng, raved constantly
about his head being q Missouri Pacific
freight house.
If you want to get even with a man,
give his daughter q kodak. She will
I0ve you for 1t, and It WIN break her
father up. It costs a. much to run a
kodak a. to keep a horse. OF bet on the
races. The amounts are small, but
they are very numerous. Before a girl
has learned enough to take and develop
a single picture, her father will have
paid out a sum sufficient to have paid
for photographs by a professional, of
the entire family, the COW and dog in
cluded. 1t is good scheme for making
a man trouble, and getting credit 70,
generosity in doing 1t.

For weeks he was baffied In every at
tempt TO see Miss Brandon alone, until
he was forced to admit that she pur-
poSely sought to evade a meeting with
him. This only made him more eager
and determined to bring one about, but
more than two months elapsed before
he succeeded in securing the long and
much desired interview. At last he
wrote her note, requesting somewhat
imperatively to be allowed to see her
privately. The reply WAS brief, simply
stating that she would receive him that
evening at s O'Clock.
Promptly at the time designated
Clarence entered the familiar parlor
and was greeted cordially by Lu, who
yet evaded the accustomed lover-like
caress.
"'Great minds run in the same chan
nel,' Clarence. At the moment / re-
ceived your note I was writing you an
invitation to call"
This little speech quickly dissipated
the suspicion which had arisen in his
mind at his reception, and he resolved
TO state the object of his call without
delay.
Dear Lulu" he said, taking her hand
in his, Il have come this evening TO
ask you to name an early date for our
marriage. 1 want my wife as soon as
possible"
She allowed him to retain her hand.
but the crimson deepened upon the fair
cheeks as she replied:
Clarence, l have something to say
which may give you pain. During the
last few years 1 have been dimly con-
scious that we are not exactly suited to
each other, although month ago |
should have Indignantly refuted such
an implication from any one else. l am
now fully convinced that If united we
should not be happy. More than this"

OF my affection, and l now know that

Sidney Lawrence
Speechless and pale Clarence's eyes
sought hers beseechlngly. At last he
realized the magnitude of his love for
the woman his selfshness had put for
ever from his life. But he read no hope
in her face, and in silence he rose and
left her.
Years have passed since then. Clar-
ence Curtis has never married, and the
gossips say the handsome bachelor ST.

During the earlier portion of her

around Lulu Brandon's lips, and she
continued her task Of cutting the leaves

ly asserted that Ibis manhood was not
for sale at any price" Gradually the
fact was impressed upon him that the
one necessary vote could be secured
in another quarter, and that his OBJ
stinacy would have no effect upon the
Senatorial result anyway, while It
might materially affect his pocketbook.
Thereupon the old fellow made an
eloquent plea in his own behalf. He
strongly asserted that he was an hon
est man, whose reputation was as dear
to him as his life, and whose character
always had been unspotted by contact
with the world.
You will readily understand, sir
he added, that having so muc1 at
stake as 1 do 1t would be impossible
for me to entertain for one moment
any proposition you might make to try
to influence my vote in this matter. MY

The Lady and Her Cats.

Kindness to dumb animals, like other
amia BILE traits, may be carried to ex-
cess. A striking instance is furnished
by Count D'Aumale in an amusing ac-
count of a visit he once made to the
widow Of Helvetius, a noted philan-
thropist and litterateur Of the last CEN
tury. Madame Helvetius, who was a
woman Of intellectual ability, was
noted for kindness and eccentricity.
D'Aumale requested an Introduction to
her. and was taken to call upon her by
a friend.
AS the visitors entered the spacious
drawing room it was nearly dark, and
the fOOtman who uShered them in could
scarcely find his way. Madame Hell
vetius emerged from the shadows in a
moment. and as the servant lighted the
apartment D'Aumale was astonisned
to see a number of very handsome An
CORA cats, completely enveloped in mag
nificent robes of fur-trimmed silk! The
footman assigned the guests to seats,
and they were about to sit down when
Madame's querulous voice interrupted
them.
"Whaty' she cried, TO the embar-
rassed servant, do you not see that
those chairs
With a low, deprecatory bow the
lackey pointed to the sofa.
"Stopr' cried the lady to her visit
ors. "Mignon has been III; she cannot
rest comfortably except upon that
sofa"
The guests paused in some confusion
and were stepping back, when a loud
.'mew" from behind warned them that
they were again on dangerous ground
in heavens name" exclaimed the
distracted lady, my poor Nanon will
be crippled if you do not step care
fully"
Finally the astonlshed gentlemen
were led into another apartment, fol
lowed in solemn procession by twenty
AngoraS, which trailed their silk
gowns along with the gravity and dig
nifty Of judges, while the guests had
great difficulty in restraining their
mirth.
Madame Helvetius did not seem to
appreciate the absurdity Of the situa
ton, or appear to object to the mewing
and purring that made a perfect chorus
around her. Her pets sat upon heI
train, climbed over her and took pos
! session of the best of everything
| When refreshments were served they
clamored until 1t seemed as II every
cat in Paris had been let loose in that
drawing room. nor was the upro...
quieted until they were fed.
Before the guests were served eac eli
cat had leaped up into a cushioned
chair, where she disposed Of her pOr-
ton of the viands in unrebuked greed
filing the air with the mingled sound
Of munching of bones, quarrelsome
cries and loud "mews."
While this singular scene was being
ENACTED the hostess made herself agree
i.ble. chatting with her visitors on va
rious interesting topics, but D'Aumale
and his friend were so absorbed by the
curious spectacle that her efforts were
almost unnoticed. When the guests de
parted they indulged freely in the mer
riment that their remarkable visit had
aroused. and to the end Of his days
Count D'Aumale was fond Of describ
ing this manifestation Of q clever won
un's foolish eccentricity.

ing Jonah. and had crawled inside the
hog, Tapped the sides over, and 1t was
SO warm and nice he went to sleep.
When he awoke the porker had be-
