snarl at his wife occasionally about
her religion.

her husband is more willing to lend
hand to the neighbors than to lift
finger around home.
An Atchison young man is not only
misery with his money when out with
the girls, but he is SO fat he breaks
down their hammocks.
The trouble is that people with a
future before them, are not interest

dare to be interesting.
A girl may enjoy a mother who
keeps posted on the higher fOolishness,
but a boy is fonder of a mother who is
old-fashioned, and knows how to cook
1t is learned that one girls popularity
among the other girls is due to the
fact that whenever she visit at their
house, she insists upon washing the
dishes.
The first money a widow spends after
her husband dies represents something
she has always wanted, and which he
thought they could not afford.
An Atchison man attributes his sue
cess to the fact that he was one of
thirteen children, and had to begin
moving out early to make room for the
next babies.
Parents should so arrange the ar
rivals of their children into this world
that they will not have a boy giving
