ANDERSON DENIES.
Says He Has No Part in Raid on
Contingent Fund.

Major T. J. Anderson writes to the
State Journal that he has not filed
claim of $21 to be paid from Governor
Stanley's contingent fund for mileage
while serving on the asylum locating
committee. Governor Stanley turned
down the claims of members on the
ground that they Travelled on passes
and were not entitled to mileage and
it was announced from the governors
office that Major Anderson's claim was
$21.
Major Anderson says: "As I have
not presented a bill for s21 or any other
amount, nor authorized any one to do
so your informant in the executive office

state lives at Dayton. He is a big st.

Dayhoff. The postoffice is about 20
rods from the Missouri Pacific track.
The trains do not stop but mail is
thrown off in sacks. The dog goes to
the crossing, waits for the train and
takes the sacks to the postoff1ce in his
mouth, holding it high and dry and is
evidently proud of his duty. When it

from the residence, 500 Kansas avenue.

he thinks.
This rule can always be depended
upon: A gossip will be just as bad as
the listener Will permit him to be.
What has become of the old fashioned
woman who didn't think she was treat
ing her guests right if they ever stop
ped eating?
When man is invited to dinner at
some time in the future, without a date
being set, he reflects that he has been
fooled that way before.
The women are about to be eclipsed:
q. woman will visit in AtchisOn shortly
who was once so sick three doctors re-
manned at her bedside all night.
When a woman admits to another
woman that she occasionally finds
bedbug in her house, it indicates that
she reposes the greatest confidence in
her.
An Atchison woman bought a dress
that was warranted not to shrink with
washing. She had a good cry about
something the first time she had it on,
and the dress shrank two inches.
One objection to prayer is that
great many cast their burdens on the
Lord, and shake off further responsible
ity. leaving someone less given to pray
ing to blaze a way out of the difficulty.
We don't see why girls are sent
abroad for number of years to study
art, when canVassers come through
town every few weeks who will teach
how to enlarge and color portraits in
two lessons.
When a wife says that her husband
does more work than anyone else at
the place he is employed, salt it down.
Such stories are very silly and are only
told early in married life, when the wife
thinks it a part of her duty to root
for her husband.
More attention should be paid to the
old fashioned saying, He who brings
will carry" If a man brings bad stories
about others to you, he will carry bad
stories about you to others. This is
so true 1t is a wonder that people are
not more cautious in their talk when
with gossips. Don't let anyone carry
anything from you.
The ancients had many habits which
modern people continue, for no other
reason than that they are ha bits. One
of them is the immoderate use of intox-
icants. OF all the bad habits, there
is nothing so utterly ineXcusable as
paying money for something that does
you actual harm and debases you in the
estimation of your neighbors.
