Observations on Commonplace Things
By the Atchison Globe Man.
Some women amount to nothing cut
side Of their church.
The older the man is, the fewer the
things that agree with him.
We have an idea that suet pudding
is the howitzer of food stuffs.
You needn't go to war to test your
courage: have your teeth fixed.
No difference what you do on Sun
day, you are not satisfied on Monday.
Fancy goods, after Christmas, have
about as inviting look as cold gravy.
When a brakeman is on his way to
dinner, he says he is going to take on
coal.
If man has little ability, people
abuse him because he does not do"
more.
No boy thinks he has had enough
candy until he has started tooth to
aching.
In order to fully appreciate cigar,
a man should always be trying to quit
smoking.
After a man passes 40 he Is greatly
encouraged If he has enough hair to
get tangle In 1t.
An old mans idea of useful person
is one who always has time to play q
game of checkers.
We have noticed that most old people
wear old clothes, and that young people
wear good clothes.
Political success, like anything else,
depends almost entirely on the amount
of rustllng a man does.
When a woman disllkes man, 1t is
her favorlte mode Of abuse to charge
that he leads dual life.
A good many men boast Of their
methodical habits who never have any
thing but unpaid bills to file away.
The gosslps in Bible days must have
had good time, If they knew Of the
things going on that the Bible tells
about.
1t Is one indication that people are
getting old when they advocate that
all young people should "be taken down
peg"
Always make it a point to tell every
secret told you, and your friends will
finally stop bothering you by telling
you any.
BY appearing at perfect ease in So
ciety," is meant that one laughs and
talks as loud as If on the back porch
at home.
If man living in this part of the
country should tire of fried eggs, we
don't know what on earth he would
eat for breakfast.
If you want to make trouble for an
enemy tell his wife that a daughter
in the family has musical talents which
must not be buried.
In every home you will find at least
half dozen skin lotions and toilet ar
ticles on a girls dressing table, and y
boy with hands chapped and bleeding
The oldest story in the world proba-
bly, is the one told by the boys when
they return from hunting: that they
killed duck, but that they couldn't
find it.

Too Great a Task.

Macklin, the actor and dramadst,
once boosted In the presence of Samuel
Foote that he had brought his memory
to such a state of perfection, through
severe training, that he could learn
anything by rote on hearing it once"
Foote scribbled on a card for a few
minutes and then passed the card to
Macklin, asking him to read and repeat
what was written. This was the far
rago "She went into the garden to cut
cabbage leaf to make an apple pie,
when a great she bear coming up the
street pops its head into the shop.
What! no soapY So he died, and she
very imprudently married the barber;
and there were present the Pininnies
and the Joblllles and the Garyulies and
the grand panjandrum himself with
the little round button at top, and they
all fell APPLYING the game Of catch as
catch can till the gunpowder ran out of
the heels of their boots" 1t Is needless
to remark that Macklin's memory did
not stand the test.-Boston Transcript.

With Side Line that Pays Dividend
on His Shrewdness.
There Is boy In Philadelphia who
some day is going to be millionaire.
He Is only a newsbOy now, and sells
papers every afternoon at one of the
railroad stations, but when he cannot
manage to make q sale he exercises his
wits and the result is generally sure.
The Saunterer has often noticed this
particular lad. and after purchasing
paper one afternoon last week stood
near by in the hope of seeing something
interesting. He had not long to wait
A young man was coming down the
steps that lead from the train floor to
the street. He was dressed In frock
coat and silk hat, and moved slowly
as II preoccupied. One urchin tackled
him when he was half way down with
"Pos'crip," and the young man shook
his head. Then the Saunterer's young
friend saw him.
Stepping up to the man the youngster
halted him and said, with the politeness
of a Chesterfield. BEG your pardon,
mister, but dey's somethln' on yer coat.
Want me to take 1t offW
The young man stood while the boy
passed his hand over the back of the
coat, and brought to view three or four
long strands of golden hair. The look
of confusion and apparent guilt on the
face of the man was worth seeing. He
hastily ran his hand into his pocket,
pulled out quarter and rendered 1t to
the boy and fairly ran the rest of the
way to the street.
The boy stood chuckling. "He's dead
easy" he remarked. II got dem from
my sister," and he pulled out handful
more from his pocket and showed it
to the Saunterer. "You see, everything
comes In handy In this line," and he
went back to his business of selling the
wary and preying upon the unsuspect'
ing.

Competition in Miracles.

A jealous Mohammedan in India pro-
poses to Lord Curzon that the British
Government call public conference of
all the religions for the purpose of de-
termining the validity of their preten-
slons by competition In the perform
ance within year of some unspecitied
but manifest miracle.
By this means he hopes to prove that
Mohammed was greater than all 9TH
ers. and that his religion is the right
one. II he fails to do this he offers
himself for crucifxion-a mode of sac
rlfice which the prophet did not or
dain. and which would prove nothing
except that Mira Ahmad of Kadian.

enough to make martyr of himself

Washington Is Not Typical.

Washington city is not the United
States. 1t is not a representative Amer
lean city. Its population Is not typi-
cal. There Is no commerce In Wash
lngton. There Is no manufacturing in
Washington. There are no large mer-
camille houses in Washington. 1t is a
city largely made up Of drones-from
the idle attaches of legations to the
young army officers with "soft things"
from the yawning Government clerks,
who kill flies with rulers, to the lazy
negroes who loaf and sleep and snore
in the galleries of Congress. 1t is
city Of people without homes-except
for the new rich, who seek there $50
cial standing" which they could not at
tain in more settled communities. 1t
is city of boarding houses, inhabited
by men and women who live In abject
fear Of losing their Government Jobs.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Large Deliveries Made on Previous
Contracts.

Large Deliveries Made on Previous
Contracts.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF
trade says:
This year starts with much of the
years business already done, and all
comparisons will prove misleading il
that fact is not taken into account.
Last year the certainty Of great i'm
provement had come before the year
opened, and there was rush to get in
orders before works became crowded
and prices advanced. This year the
works are already crowded for months
ahead in most lines, andprices had al
ready advanced so far that recoil had
already commenced in some branches,
and was thought probable in others.
With the exception Of woolen manu-
factures, the chief industries have met
less new business in January than last
year, though deliveries on previous con-
tracts have been larger than year ago.
Wheat rose cent, but soon reacted.
Atlantic exports were only l,466, 592
bushels, -four included, for the week.
Pacific exports have been 4,2O9. 300
bushels in five weeks, against 3, GO, 854
bushels last year.
Speculation in cotton has raised the
price to SH cents, without improve
ment in the demand. The receipts
from plantations still fall SO far behind
last years that low estimates OF yield
are expected.
Wool is rather weaker in some
grades, but stronger in others, so that
the average of quotations is steady, not
withstanding some sales at concessions.
The iron and steel industry is so far
tied up by contracts reaching through
most of the year, that the effect of pro-
duction exceeding consumption is felt
only in some instances.
Failures for the week have been 232
in the United States, against 224 last
year. and 81 in Canada, against rs last
vaar

Five Glasses of Maser Daily

DR.. Taylor states that the normal
adult needs thirty-seven ounces of
water day, and as the average tum-
bier holds eight ounces, five glasses
make forty ounces, approximately the
normal quantity. The best time to
drink 1t are one glass upon rising, one
at 10 a. M. one at p. NJ, one at 5 and
one or two on retiring. Instead of the
rather indefinite five glasses a day it
is better to fill bottle of a given size,
the contents of which are to be drunk
during each twenty-four hours. Pa
tients at famous watering places owe
much of their Improvement to the large
quantities Of water which they are
obliged to drink. and the same results
could no doubt be obtained at home by
drinking large quantities of good
water.-Medical World.

Old.Eashioned Notions.

Men who save margin from a COM
Portable income often look with amaze
ment upon the 'thriftlessness" of the
poor. This time-honored point of view
is happily Illustrated by the journal Of
Samuel Breck, gentleman of means
and fashion, who made this entry In the
year 1920:
Mrs. B. discharged servant girl
to-day for fbbing and misunderstanding.
She had been for nearly three years
In my family. No sooner was she en-
titled to receive few dollars than she
squandered them in finery, bedecklng
herself in merlno shawls, chip bonnets,
and so forth, without laying up SIS,
though she had received from $1.50 to
$125 per week."
Mr.. Breck did not believe In innova-
tions. They have such a vulgarizing
tendency!
"Steam," said he, ''in many respects
interferes with comfort in travelling,
destroys every salutary distinction In
society, and overturns by It's whirliglg
power the once rational, gentlemanly
and safe mode Of getting along on a
journey. Talk of ladies on board a
steamboat or in railroad car! There
are none. To restore herself to her
caste, let lady move in select CON-
pany at fve miles an hour, and take
her meals in comfort at q good inn.
