Farmers Going to Canada.
Representative of the Northern

A GLOWING SCHEME.

Atchison, March 31.-A number of
farmers are going from this county to
northern Canada to live under the offer
of free timber and free farm lands.
]. S. Crawford, a representative OF

club of old girls that a girl of 16 is as
unsatisfactory as a. half-baked cake.
4
A girl of 16 believes that when Love
Gets Cold, it would be as easy for a
married woman to warm it over again
as she warns dish Of potatoes.
A certain Atchison man is acting
queer, and 1t is predicted that he will
commit suicide within a. month. This
is heroic treatment, but suicide would
cure him.
Last year a summer girl came to
Atchison, and attracted a GOOD deal OF
attention. 1t turns out that she was
married ten years ago, and has been a
widow five years.
IF a newspaper gives Johns side of
the story and Toms as well, John
thinks it has taken Toms side of the
controversy, and Tom thinks it has ia
ken Johns side.
An Atchison girl has had the privi-
lege of marrying a certain man at any
time during the past two years, but
put 1t off, hoping she might get bet
ter chance. But now the man has
found a better chance. and has given
Miss Particular the merry ha ha.
Wild ducks are flying, and every hoy
in Atchison will go duck hunting to-
morrow. Not one of them will kill
thing; not more than one in so will get
good deal like boys hunting wild ducks:
they talk about it, and think about 1t,
but that's about all.
In the novels, when a girl becomes
involved in an unfortunate love affair,
her parents pack her off on a trip to
Algiers or Russia, to get her mind off
her lover. We have no Goulds in Atch-
ison, but an Atchison man and wife
will send their daughter to st. Joe for
three weeks to effect such cure. They
argue that she will not be able to recall
the young mans name after three
weeks.
An Atchison widower wants a house
keeper, and there is a great rush for
him. Any ordinary woman can keep
house for a widower a few months, and
land him, in spite of his screams, and
when such an opportunity offers, there
is a rush for the chance. The widower
who Is now looking for a housekeeper,
is quite well off. and his friends are
thinking of selling the chance to the
highest bidder, the money derived from
the auction to be devoted to buying
monument for his first wife's grave.
