Social Philosophy
,m the Atchison Globe

From the Atchison Globe.
 There never was a man with side-whis- kers who would not look better with them off
 When a boy discovers that he can whistle he is as proud as a young rooster that dis covers it can crow.
 There is some wonder, when a girl claims that her heart is breaking, that she doesn t try to mend it with hair pin.
 The more anxious mother is to get her daughter married off, the more she says about her fear that she will lose her.
 It is a good idea to have a telephone in the house, so that the door bell has assist ance in its demands upon man when he is alone, and in the bath tub.
 There is some objection to every neigh borhood; a man was in this office today complaining because there are four churches within block of his house.
 An Atchison woman has put in a bath room, so that her son may have a refuge when the girls call upon him; they drag him out of every other room in the house.
 Why wouldn't a mule make good buggy horse? A mule is always willing to go, and is always fat and sleek. Look at the aver age family horse-slow, poor and dirty.

Wares is a small mining station near Bes- semer and the freight train on which MT. Abbott was working had stopped there to enable the men to do some switching. MT. Abbott was attempting to cut off a car and tried to shut off the angle cock of the air brake In some manner he lost his balance and fell between the cars, and was crushed to death by the bumpers
 Walker Abbott was a brother of H. c. Abbott. A. V. Abbott and Frank Abbott, well known opaicians and jewellers of this city.
 The body of the unfortunate young man was brought to Birmingham for interment. The funeral will take place form the resi- dence at Smithfield at o'clock this after noon-
 MT. Abbott was formerly employed in Abbott's jewelry store in Twentieth street; but his health being unsatisfactory he quit that work on the advice of his physicians, and with hopes of improvement undertook outdoor work. For a time he was fagman on a passenger train, but recently he got transferred to work on freight trains.
