GLOBE SIGHTS.

GLOBE SIGHTS.
TFrom the Atchison Globe-1
If you don't start a thing right II Is
hard to get it right
People dearly love to make each other
uncomfortable.
Every one agrees that a certain Atch-
ison girl is pretty, ''but'--
in theory, but the alarm clock is more
reliable.
Lots of time is devoted to art and lit
erature that should be devoted to house
work.
During a girls engagement, it is the
duty of all her kin to keep so far IN the
background that a telescope couldnt 10
cate them
When a man says particularly mean
thing about another, he orten mas d
reason for his enmity that is not credi-
table to him.
Probably the most tiresome person to
meet is the one of a make-Sunshlne-l
the house-th though there-be none-Wlth-
out disposition.
There isn't anything quite so big in
one merchants eye as the proht TO De
made by some other merchant enSdSSO
in a different business.
What has become of the old fashion
ed father who kept a strap behind the
kitchen door? Are any of his sons stlll
living with him to tell about it?
So far as an Atchison man has dis
covered chicken dumplings are the only
things his wife is unable to buy at the
bakers or in cans at the grocerS-
A new widow has to give an order to
the first man who comes along solicit
ing orders for charging photographs, or
the neighbors will talk about her
When we are particularly tired out,
and lie down to read and rest, we uSu-
ally find that the reading matter we
have picked up tells of the pleasures
found in work
An Atchison e1ocutionist is very lucky
When she forgets her lines in the mid
die of a piece" she faints, and gets out
of an awkward position with fans and
sympathy.
When an engagement is announced,
the general comment is, How did she
do it?'' She simply was nice to him,
and let him drift. Men will drift into
anything. and the only snag in girls
path in the way OF an engagement, is
another girl.

NEWEST FEATS
IN TRICK CYCLING
Hhey Are Very Clever, but Must BE
Performed Without Any Visible
Effort TO Se Interesting.
By Isahel AIarks.

BY Isabel NitlhS-
Independently OF the fascination OF
trick evening per Sc. its practice greatly
benefits the ordinary riding of every DAY
II miuimizes effort by the inSistence or
the learners initiation into the knack OF
ankling the acquisition OF winch Should
he but alasi is not, the groundwork OF
action. 1t imparts style by the absence
of viz. be effort, and by the graceful body
movements it teaches its votaries. 1t
lucuIcates skill in quick turns and IN ac-
crrate Judgment of distances measured
bv inches, a knowledge invaluable to the
rick rider 1t also serves to evoke and
TO strengthen the qualities of courage and
perseverance. Therefore, should only
the outposts of the fort be stormed, the
gain will be considerable.
Before proceeding to the evolution of
the trick proper, three preliminary les-
sons must be learnt. These are % the
ability to turn and to circle both to right
and to left within an exceedingly narrow
compass; (2) the capacity to ride without
the aid of either hand on he handie-bar;
(:i) the attainment of the stationary bal
arce. viz. to be- able to remain upon the
machine when it is a a standstill- Be
fore going into the means of acquiring
mastery over these three difficulties, let
me say just one word upon the equally
interesting subject of the mount
'E'or although we have all learnt a
nimble and neat mount and dismount on
either side of the machine, in our green
and salad cycling days, there remains
the question of the side saddle mount to
be discussed This is affected by stand
highlands on hanuies in the usual man
ncr-on the left side of the machine, which
is inclined a rrife to the right, The golden
rule of cycling equilibrium being invari-
ably TO lean in whichever direction you
appear to be falling. lace the left foot
upon the left pedal when well forward
and forward and pedal on raising yourself
into the saddle quietly and gently. Some
care will be needed to bring the right foot
safely through he narrow space between
the left foot and the frame. The right
foot should rest either upon the tuhes cf
tho frame nr upon tha faot-rest. or hang
idle near the left; and the body should
lean towards the lift side OF the machine
MUST PEDAL 5ENENl4l.
The best method of vanishing the diff
culties of circling is to place some OBJ
ject. such as a nag, q piece OF wood. Or
IA stone. as Il centre As all hasty and
jerlly movements considerably affect the
steering. YOU will. OF course. ride with
circumspectiun, pelalling evenly and con-

BOUrELLE'S ILLNESS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Reports of
the condition of Congress man Bout
ellie of Maine are extremely alarming
and lead to the belief that he may not
resume his duties in Congress this
session, if at all. Most important work
is under his direction as chairman of
the committee on Naval affairs aud in
the event of his absence, the committee
will have to be recognized. The sec
ond member of The committee is
George Foss of Illinois, upon whom
the CHI devolves. Mr.. Foss
is thorough student of naval matters
and recently visited European navies.
He has many ideas rather in advance
OF the other members. Mr.. Dayton of
w, st Virginia would be the ranking
member.
BANGOR. d C. 2S--It is ascertained
thai Mr.. Boutele has been taken to

He is suffering with BriZht's disease,
