Ye scribe found the following scrap
of poetry on his desk Monday morn

East Paris dogs are no doubt bright,
But yet we think it scarcely right
To credit them with false alarms
OF the dinner BELLS most potent charms.
Uncle Phil may best take care,
That dog will catch him unaware,
And ring the dinner-bell at night
When all the grub is locked up tight.
Good people. we believe your story,
And only ask to share the glory;
East Somers holds right to fame,
We have no dog without name.
You Parasites have our esteem,
Your acts of kindness we'll redeem;
And when you come into East Somers,
You'll find we are a set of hummers.

Nervous Depression.

The month of July is peculiarly the
month of nervous diseases, especially
nervous prostration and other depressed
states of the nervous system. People
who are at all inclined to be nervous or
suffer from weak nerves find this month
especially trying. Sultry heat and
electrical disturbances Of the atmos-
phere is probably the cause of this.
Invalids need to be particularly care
ful during the month of July to fortify
the nervous So stem by the use Of Perunas

The church going people of James
Vile demand that the ladies shall re-
move their hats during the service,
and the ladies seem not unready to
meet the demand Notwithstanding the
fact that their hats are fine creations,
far more ornamental on their heads
than on their laps.
The profanity used by pedestrians
upon the streets by the tough element
is almost unbearab1e at times, and
often causes respectable people to bow
their heads in shame. Vile language
shows poor bringing up. There is
law against such language, and per
haps if a few arrests were made the
use of the vulgar tongue would lessen
in the future.

Is There a Deficit.

Information has reached the Globe
that there is a shortage in the accounts
Of certain employee Of the Treasury
Department, and that a certain female
clerk Of influence thinks she is solid
because. as she states it, a certain per-
sonage felt my limb" She didn't say
limb, but the Globe let's it go at that,
as leg would be highly improper for
the eye OF the purist.
II is somewhat difficult to get at the
facts of the shortage when the news
paper man has to break through the
Gordon, or the inner council running
the Department, of which that accom-
plished gentleman, Mr. Fitzpatrick is
the brains, and Frank Johnson private
secretary to Assistant Treasurer
Spaulding and II. A. Cobaugh are the
faithful executive agents. But the trio
will know from this item that the
Globe is on to the smothered defalca.
tion and that It will worm out the de.
tails later on.

had many relatives in Office to back
him up and forward his interests, ana
young and most estimable lady Tor
wife and help-mate. But this demor'
alizing fever of Washington, petty ot'
fetal life was in his bones ana mar
row, and the income Of $3.50 per month
was insunicient-as $500 per month
would be further along-to Keep MIN
in the swim and maintain the pace set
for him by others of his class,
IL young Purdy had learned trade
or devoted himself to some OUTSIDE
and independent line Of business, the
chances are more than even that ne
would have been successful, as he Is
young man Of more than average
ability. But the family in otnce
fever seized him and we have the re-
sult lenient enough in his case, II is
true but terribly humiliating to those
of his kinfolk holding down Govern
ment Jobs, and exceedingly distressing
TO his innocent wife, who is the great
est sufferer.
The Globe would have been tempted
for her sake to have suppressed the
facts here recited of Mr., Prudy's NAL
fesance. but that conscientious duty
to the public and to society compels
their publicity to the end that those
who are on the downward road or
wrestling with temptation may be
warned of the inevitable consequence
of Welding to their appetites, passions
and desires for display and baser ends
The Public Printers attention has
been directed to the necessity when
exists for reformation in his Depart
ment. He has ignored the advice ana
suggestions of the Globe, and he Is
now confronted with the consequences
Perhaps Mr.. Mckinley will send Tor
him after a perusal Of this issue Of the
Globe and indicate the lines along
which he can conduct his Department
without criticism from this paper and
with more efficiency to the public,
whose servant he is. The Globes ed
itor feels no elation over the expose
of Purdy or any other employee who
falls before temptation; on the con
trarv. there is regret tempered solely
with a consciousness of having done
our duty by the public, and neither
malice nor desire to be sensational
or score a "beat' on our contempor'
bries ever enters into the motives
which inspire us to publish such dls-
tressing details on weak and fallen
fellow creatures.

WHAT'S THE MATTER &?
KaStleS Advertising Each Other
and the Mirror.

The American Syndicate had a
solemn warning in the daily newspa-
pers the past week against trusting
one John w. Kastle as an agent of the
Mirror The American Syndicate is
supposedly the publishers and proprie-
tors Of the Mirror, but the only visible
head Of the concern, when there is an
arrest to be made for criminal libel is
John w. Kastle's brother, although his
name no longer appears at the head
of the Mirror, as responsible editor or
manager, The Globe can only surmise
that there is some sort Of trouble in
the Mirror office, Of a financial nature,
since the checks of John w. Kastle are
no longer cashied at the Washington
Loan & Trust Bank. One Of those
checks was brought to The Globe office
and the endorsement written on it by
the cashier mot sufficient funds" Mr..
Kastle the much arrested criminal
libel man, had been asked to make
good, but declined to be responsible for
John W's debts, and the gentleman
who has been in the habit of cashing
the checks for the said John w. is out
just IS, If the Automobile Kastle
uoeaH I''oH0lueI MS ueClHlOl III Iue
matter,
It Is suggested to Mr., Kastle that in
asmuch as his notice, or rather, The
American Syndicates notice, did not
appear until June 4th, and the checks
bears date May 29th that he ought to
honor II and all others up to the date
of his notice to the public" OF course,
II is none Of our funeral. but inasmuch
as the Mirror-more power to it's
paying enormously on its invested cap
tal, poor John w, ought not to be ruth
lessly cut of, or at least, the men who
cashed his checks ought to be paid
We believe this is all we have TO say
