order to secure more marketable price,
is roasted in enormous furnaces, and it is
some strange emanation from the snlelted
copper that effects this chemical change

GLOBE SIGHTS.

[From the Atchison Globe.1
Boys always hate a boy who takes
flowers to his teacher.
A big man carrying a little string Of
fish looks mighty shiftless-
A woman's pocketbook is nearly al
ways worth more than the money in it.
About all that people gain by mar
riage over those who remain single is
children and experience.
Every woman exaggerates her 1lus-
bands credit and resources as soon as
she gets inside of nailliner's store
at any age, but a man does not like to
be called ''boyish" after he is 25.
There is this much in palmistry; If a.
girls hand is as soft and white as a
baby's her tales Of working hard at
home are untrue.
There is nothing in the story that the
four-leafed clover is lucky. The grave
of the unIuckiest man who ever lived in
Atchison is covered with four-leafed
cloVers.
There is great indignation in an
Atchison family. The last girl in the
family is to be married and her married
sisters, who had depended upon her
for taking care Of their parents, are
fussing.
An Atchison woman is so sympathetic
that she recently cried all night over
secret a friend told her. The friend told
her that she had a cousin in the east
who was so poor that she hadn't had a
new dress in two years.
