Occasionally you see a girl wearing
dress cut low in the neck who would
be thrown out on a stock market as

Very often a girl who helps her
pay roll. gets abused because she
doesn't save her money. A North
Atchison girl, 10 save this abuse,
saved her money for two years, and
finds that she has just 1913 cents!
An Atchison woman whose ambition
in life is to hold her tongue, locks her
self up alone in her room whenever she
is troubled about anything. In this
way she cheats the sympathetic friend
who coaxes her to tell all your
troubles to me, dear child" and saves
herself the humiliation of telling too
much.
We are glad to notice that the word
bosom" is disappearing from polite
novel society. The bosom can't get into
print any longer by huttering or heaV-
ing with emotion, and the big broad
bosoms that promised comfort to those
who cried out their troubles on them,
have been confined to advertisements
of corsets, their proper place.
Lysander John Appleton, Kin Com
missioner General of the United States,
hit it wrong again. He came home all
the way from Washington to work for
Bailey, and now the job of settling kin
problems may be taken away from him.
Mr.. Appleton always pins his faith to
the candidate who goes down. He can
even win a cigar in a slot machine.
When man plays a violin solo, PEG
pie do not say they could do 1t better
themselves, because few people play
the violin. But everyone writes love
letters, kin letters, etc, and nearly
everyone thinks he is clever with a
pen. Therefore every newspaper arti-
Gle is criticised, because the readers OF
newspapers think they could have
written it better.
When Mrs Lysander John Appleton
gets snappish and cross, and feels like
fighting, she explains that everything
and everyone affect her nerves" She
is rude because she was nervous, and
couldn't help it." Her cake fell because
her nerves interfered with her recipe.
Her nerves are put forth as an apol-
ogy for every display of i'll temper,
and as an excuse for every blunder.
What would Mrs. Lysander John do
without her nerves as a shield?
