women The Lord made some women
fat and dumpy, but the fashion makers
don't recognize them.
Here is something funny: a girl who
is visiting in Atchison, and posing as a
young thing. has rheumatism! She must
be much older than she claims
We are a low, nasty man, but it al
ways shocks us when we see a nice
girls photograph taken in such a way
as to leave the impression that she was
naked when 1t was taken.
Every day some institution starts UP,
either to mend stockings or bake pie,
that makes work easier for the women.

An Atchison Mothers Boy married
recently, and his wife made him shave
off his mustache before she would make
him any soup, of which he is very
fond. When he lived at home, he got
his whiskers in the soup every day. and

Mrs. Johnson Jacobson was in town

Mrs johnson jacobson is one of the
women who are devoted to their homes,
and who never indulge in the distrac-
tons OF society She arises at in the
morning, miIks seven cows before break
six in the family, does her housework,
her baking, washing, ironing, skim
ming, buttermaking, etc, till noon,
when she cooks dinner After the din
ner work, there is her sewing to be done
until five, when she squeezes the udders
of the seven cows again, puts away the
milk, gets supper, does the dishes, and
mends her husbands coat and pants
while he is in bed. Away after eleven
at night, Mrs. Johnson jacobson goes to
bed, feeling how much more secure and
safe her life is, like a boat anchored in
little harbor, than If she were one of
society's pets. The gay world has no
attractions for a woman like this, who
catches her only glimpse of it when she
rides into town to trade butter and eggs
for flour and sugar. Such a woman
knows all about the sweets of quiet
home life, and as she glances up from
the waShtub and sees gay women drive
by in their carriages. she realizes what
sham society is, and that after all the
only joy lies in devotion to ones own
home.
