observations on Commonplace Things
by the Atchison Globe Man.

SSINaIIoHs OH commonplace Things
by the Atchison Globe Man.
/, A mans "reminiscences are nearly al
ways tiresOme.
How long useless, troublesome peo-
pie hang on! How easily useful people
die!
An Englishman never thinks that he
is old SO long as he is younger than the
Queen.
| Men tell their troubles to a police
man, and the women hunt up a
preacher.
| When one grocer wants to abuse an
other, he says he sells cold storage
eggs for fresh.
If no time has been set for mar
riage, there is still a chance for the
man to get away.
1t is the little things of life that are
annoying; it is easier to dodge an ele-
phant than a microbe.
( Women do not rave over dentists as
they rave over doctors, because teeth
cannot be fixed without pain.
/ While every one agrees out loud that
there is no place like home, he reserves
to himself the opinion that homes
differ.
When an American marries a girl, he
marries her family. Scream as much
las you please, but you can't get away
from the fact.
When man is really fond of his wife
she believes it is because she is a good
cook; man is never given credit for
anything soulful.
If people worked and saved half as
hard as they worry, it would be inn
possible to throw a stone without hit
ting Vanderbilt.
A woman is perhaps never quite so
proud as when her husband goes home
to her folks, on a visit with her, and
says he enjoyed himself.
After girl has taken as many as six
lessons on the piano, she begins to pro-
nounce Beethoven and Wagner in a
manner to jar her elders.
When the wind blows q lot Of loose
hair around a girls face it is never as
becoming as the description sounded
in the novels she has read.
Occasionally you meet housekeeper
who would as soon think Of going to
church bare-headed as to fail to have
mashed potatoes for dinner.
There is nothing that causes a wom-
an more indignation than when q boy
throws stones at her cow, and his
mother fails to whip him for it.
1t is a common experience to call
upon woman who is reported very i'll,
and find that she has recovered, and
has a dress-maker in the house.
When a visiting woman asks for a
Bible to read, 1t always arouses sus-
'picion that she wants to look at the
family record in it, and find out the
ages.
The women demand of every man
who lives in clearinghouse that he
get a sad, far-away look in his eyes
when he hears the song, "Home, Sweet
Home"
1t would be interesting to know how
rich and prosperous a man has to get
before he is rich and prosperous
enough to remember favors shown him
when he was poor.
When a new girl comes to town on a
visit she comes down town the first
| day she arrives, and thinks that busi-
ness suspends while the men say to
fone another, "Who is the peach?"
The girl who has her picture taken
Iwhile she is laughing may have good
teeth, but she also has poor taste. She
ibecomes the soubrette Of the family
photograph album, and her laugh
grows sillier as the picture gets older.

all occasions and for everybody" :
After DR.. Priest had concluded his
address, Gen. Dick was introduced.
He said:
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men, My Friends: If in the slightest
degree, this enthusiastic manifestation
is personal, beg to extend In return,
feebly as my words convey it, the
grateful thanks my heart feels and
which it, vainly attempts to express

no friends like the old friends. To
me, these old friends have been most
kind. You have burdened me with
obligations until lie prostrate at youi
feet. There is no force in all the
world, that Is better than friendship.
1t is courage to the timid; it is med,
icine to the sick; it is help to the
weary. 1t is one of the noblest and
best of all the virtues. Friendship
rightly exerted is great engine for
good.
"But we must get away from SEN
timent and talk business upon an oc'
casion like this. ] recognize that men
may belong to all parties and be pa
triots. 1t no longer matters what the
paramount ISSUE was. The important
duty of the hour is patriotism. When
prosperity came as the result of the
Republican success Of 1885, the bless
ings were distributed without dis
elimination. In the future, it should
be and 1 believe will be the aim of
the Republican party to SO legislate
that the greatest good shall come to all.
"The imperial will Of the people is
the only Imperialism that can find a
footing in this country of ours. II
militarism won q voctory 1t was to the
extent that we shall have navy and
army to protect us at home and conf

Gen. Dick stated that it would be the
policy of the government to grant the
greatest measure of independence to
the Filiplnos that they are capable OF
receiving. Continuing he said:
1--WE will build ship canal across
the Isthmus that will shorten the dis
tance between Atlantic and Pacific
ports, 10000 miles.
1--WE will build American ships with
American labor to take charge of our
commerce upon the seas

unfair advantage shall be taken of

"a great wrong is being perpetrated
in some States where the consent of
the governed is not had, simply be-
cause the skin of the governed is not

been made, 40 of them would have
cast their electoral vote for Mckinley.
