GLOBE SIGHTS


IFrom the Atchison Globe.1
No man ever sold his house and lot
for as much as he asked for it.
1t is as easy to effect fusion between
PC7ulists and Democrats in Kansas
now Is it is to get drink
OF course a man should respect the
sentiment of friendship, but should a
mans friends work him to death?
There are two things to do when you
are imposed on: one is to stand it, but
no one knows what the other thing is.
An Atchison girl has broken up four
love affairs of her brother, by inviting
the girls to come and visit at the
house, and see for themselves what a
selfish young man her brother is.
People do not agree on anything, ex-
cept that men must die, and that taxes
must be paid. Lately. the Christian
Scientists have disputed the proposition
that men must die, so that the only
thing men agree on now is that taxes
must be paid.
The new hats the women wear are
never pretty to the men: they have to
get used to them, the same as they get
used to the face of a new cook in the
kitchen. But will they ever become
reconciled to the hats worn this year?
They are ugly enough to cause horses
to shy; big broad brimmed COW boy
hats with a quill in them that would
tickle the heart of a fat old squaw.
Widows look well in their mourning,
chiefly for the reason that women dress
in too gay cOlOrs, and look genteel for
the first time in their lives when COM
PEELED to dress in sober attire. There
are grandmothers in Atchison who
dress as gay as a sixteen-yea girl.
1t is their right, but there are some
rights that should not be exercised.
