AS A MAN SEES HER.
(From the Atchisom Globe.)

Another Atchison girl who gets $40
a month for sitting i'll an office will re-
sign III Il few weeks to wash dishes and
cook for love and her board.
When girl has new engagement
ring she finds many occasions for feeling
if her back hair is in good order.
Mean people say that the man a wild
ow selects to support her at her hus-
bands funeral is the one she usually
marries afterward.
"Well. | see Mrs. Blank is breaking
in, is the women's comment when they
read in the paper that Mrs. Blank will
give a reception.
BY the time d man has save up enough
moi ~ to have palm and Il brussels
carpet in his parlor his girl has reach
ed the company" age and he is not
allowed to sit there.
Several years ago an Atchison man
married Il slender, modest little darling,
and everybody said@ it was case of
hawk and dove. Now the wife weighs
twice as much as her husband, has
| wliskers and talks bass.
When woman is old and bilious she
explains it i'll a poctical way by saying
she is fading away like Il lily
When woman begins to admire Il
man she begins to persecute him.
There comes time to every married
woman when she has to use a sort of
| faith cure on her belief in her husband 5
affections.
1t is Il ldtiful truth that women trust
| their daughters with men whom their
| husbands wouldn't trust to open an ac-
| count.
| n certain Atchison woman is always
| invited to serve the brick ice cream at
| parties, for the reason that she cuts
| it in such thin slices.
Would something terrible happen if a
| girl forgot to tie up those terrible but
| tons on the back of her skirt and is il
| possible unler present fashion conditions
| for a girl to dress without the assist
ance of the neghbors?

They persuade the natives that they are
going to the Lord, through the church
(thc priest is the church.) The Span

If France, after aiding Washington

out Of America, had proceeded to make
the United States French territory she
would have simply anticipated the base
betrayal we have been guilty of III try
ing to annex the Philippines. In the
case of France, which at the time was
Il monarchy, the betrayal would not
have been of so base character as
ours She at least in attempting to sub

given the lie to professions about the

"BE ASKED FOR BREAD AND THEY
GAVE HIM A STONE

The old story of going further and faring
worse was well illustrated in the action
of the grand jury in the matter of the APP
Precipitation for the public schools. The
Board Of Education asked for $4,000 for
school purposes, and the County Commits
sioners put only $4,000 to its credit in the
budget. The educational authorities then
appealed to the grand jury, and, by re-
quest Of that body, prepared a statement,
showing that the cost of maintaining
the schools on their present basis was ST.
900. The statement also showed that If
only a portion of the children who will be
without places in the schools next year
were provided for $4,000 would be neces-
sary The Board of Education, by invita-
ton, appeared before the grand jury. and
satisfied, as they supposed in the inno-
cence of their hearts, that body of upright
and intelligent citizens, that more than
$4,000 would be required to carry out the
purposes of the board.
1t appears, however, from their pre-
sentiment, that after all this skirmishing,
the grand jury discredited the written
and verbal statements of the members of
the Board of Education and recommended
$4,000 for next years appropriation,
sum less than the actual expenses of the
schools, and set aside $4,000 for a new
school house, which would cost $25, 900 to
build and equip and $1,000 year TO main
tain. That is $4,000 appropriation which
is of doubtful legality. as 1t is conditioned
on certain things being done which It is
not possible to do with that amount Of
money-things which would require an
outlay of $4,000 AS the young man said
to the girl who wanted him to hurry up
the wedding, if the Board of Education
will furnish the bread. the grand jury
will skirmish around for water.
The Board of Education, looking
through their hind sights, as it were, would
have done better by taking the $4,000
which the County Commissioners set apart
for educational purposes than to have re-
lied on the wisdom of the grand jury,
The latter had all the information at their
command. together with the eloquence of
the Demosthenic president of the Board of
Education, TO burn it into their post-pran-
dial intelligence. The moral of this tale
is, that it is better to take $4,000 from
the fellows who boss the job and don t
care for facts or figures, than to try for
SS5, 900 from those who ask for facts and
figures and don't use them, and get only
$50, 900.

CUBAN GENERALS HAPPY.

What deep, unutterable joy must have
stirred the breasts OF the Cuban generals
yesterday when, in the city of Havana,
not a single Cuban soldier appeared to
receive the SIS which our government was
prepared to pay each one of those whose
names are on the rolls given 10 Gen.
Brooke by these generals, and who deliv-
cred his gun to The person designated 10
receive it! These generals don't act like
patriots anxious for the welfare of their
country but like children not yet old
enough to be influenced by reason. They
objected to the 100000 proposition when
it was first made because the amount
wasn't large enough. They didn't object
to the soldiers receiving money from the
United States The ground of their OBJ
lection then, was probably that the propo-
sition didn't include anything for them,
ana that is the READ ground of their OBJ
lection now. They are bitterly hostile TO
Gen. Gomez because he has all along
favored the $SOOO0OO payment. The
ground that Gomez takes is that the
money wouldn't discharge the debt of
Cuba TO her soldiers, but 1t would enable
the soldiers TO take care of their families
until they could get work. Clearly that
is a sensible view.
Gen. Gomez understands very well that
if Cuba had control of her own affairs
and undertook TO borrow money she would
find she couldn't do it except at a rulnous
rate of interest, unless the United States
should guarantee her bonds, which they
wouldn't do. What the Cuban generals
want is that the United States shall nav
them and each one Of the other officers
ard all of the men who were in the ranks
all they claim for services for the entire
period of the war That would REQUIRE
anywhere from $SO00OO0o to $4,000 900.
The people of the United States are taxed
quite heavily enough to pay the cost of
freeing Cuba from Spain without paying
the heavy claims the Cuban army has
for servlces-servlces which, so far as
many Of The officers and a very large por-
ton of the privates are concerned, We're of
rather doubtful value
The President and his advisers didn't
know the Cubans quite as well when II
was decided to distribute $3.0O0.OOO amono
the Cuban soldiers as they do now. With
| their present knowledge of them il is GER
