GLOBE SIGHTS
[From the Atchison Globe.1
The hungry men should keep out of
society: less attention is paid every
year to what is served to eat, and more
to decorations.
When an old maid gets married. and
has a baby, there is some surprise that
it is as frivolous looking as otner Wo-
mems children.
The women claim that there would
be less bad feeling among the men if
they would turn their political meet
ing into card contests for prizes
How long was your wife sick be-
fore she died?' one man asked another J,
was the reply "Ah," the first man
then said, you had good luck
It is very rare of late that you see a
girl with a braid down her back that
looked like taffy candy that has been
pulled a long time.
A woman is glad afterward when she
refrained from saying something mean.
but man is sorry that he didn't say it.
A woman has terrible struggle with
her conscience if she feels that she
didn't struggle enough with her hus
band to get him to church.
There is such a thing as wooden
swearing. When people too polite to
swear, bang doors and kick over chairs,
that is wooden swearing"
An Atchison woman finds that her
study of French In the past two years
has cost SO much, she hasn't enough
money left to go to the Paris exposi-
ton.
A womans idea of a true friend is
one who, when she has company, will
entertain for the guests and take them
down town mornings to give the Wo-
man chance to clean up the house.
Every once in a while some girl tries
to raise money by giving an amateur
entertainment, and fails. We wonder
why she doesn't try the plan of promis
ing not to give the entertainment, If
paid to keep out.
In order. to overcome her husbands
objections to afternoon card playing, a
North Fifth street woman recently
| bought a box of cigars, and claimed
that she won it at a card game. Her
husband smoked only one, and is now
more opposed to afternoon card play
ing than ever.
The kind of men who quit work to
take girl sleigh riding make better
beaux than husbands. Every once in
awhile one of these pattern beaux gets
married, and his wife wears her old
clothes longer than any other woman
in her circle This is one of the things
girls blunder into: the belief that a
good beau will be a good husband.
When a woman teaches children how
to spell and make numbers, she refers
to her occupation as a noble work to
uplift humanity" 1t is a way the
women have of idealizing their mode of
7 IN =
pose the girl who sells muslin in a dry
goods store does it Ito uplift human
ity."
When a girl from out-of-town comes
to Atchison, she somehow creates the
impression that she never walks to the
theater; that in her town the young
men engage hacks. We hope that no
Atchison girls ever create such a silly
impression away from home. It is no
credit to a town if its young men hire
carriages every time they take a girl a
few blocks. 1t indicates that they are
/ profigates and spendthrifts, and will
make poor husbands. Most Atchison
girls walk, or ride on the street cars,
and we are proud of it.
Atchison does not permit a lot of
| cheap men to control its business af-
| fairs; it does not permit a lot of cheap
| women to control its social affairs.
/ No vicious, worthless woman is per-
mitted to ruin a good character in this
! town. Many an improbable story has

/ by the best people. 1t can be done else

anywhere.
Miss Marie Ricksecker-Appleton, af-
/ ter quite an effort, last night secured
! an Introduction to a new clerk in town,
/ and has started in to land him. She
will begin her siege by inviting him to

/ notice that they must help her by in

cards, and to call for Miss Appleton on
the way. Few huntsmen would spend
ten dollars worth of ammunition on a
/ rabbit worth ten cents, but in a matri-
monial hunt, it is so difficult to catch
| the game that opinions as to good
! investments differ.
Most Of the police court cases origin
ate from foolish discussions The other
day a woman said she could sneeze at

| husband said it was a foolish notion.
! Then they began 'jawing'' back and
forth After three days of it, the wo-
man had her husband arrested for vio-

much to blame as he was. (Still, the

Mrs. Lysander John Appleton has an
old fashioned riclxety chair in her par
lor which she highly treasures because
it once belonged to her grandmother.
| Still, friends of the family recall that
Mrs. Appleton always hated her grand
mother. She has an old fashioned cup

! because it came from my dear old

! except when a funeral called her to it.
