GLOBE SIGHTS.

The only way to get some people to pay attention to a bill is to send one they don't owe.
 When a man runs off the women re- fuse to believe it because he was 'so fond" of his family.
 Another Atchison man has decided that the only way to be happy is not to stop long enough to think about it.
 We have often wondered that in this mad desire to create a sensation, some man doesn't drop s in the collection basket at church.
 If a fortune teller tells a woman that her husband will not live long, it is just like man if he goes on living, just to prove there is nothing in it.
 It is said mat an Atchison child is so smart that when 1t was three months the society of it's rich old bachelor kin.
 Usually, in a town of this size, a mad career" consists of staying down town at night till the streets are de- serted and being late at work next morning.
 There are seven grown members of an Atchison family who have no fears for the future, relying implicitly upon a tired out little old man and his salary of s75 month.
 When an American is not engaged in saying "the right to labor is considered the most sacred right of the American citizen" he is cheearing some union man who is chasing q scab.

An Atchison woman of forty finds fault because Atchison is not as agree able socially as her town in Pennsyl- vania was. She was eighteen when she lived there. but she can't see why that should make a difference.

Tuesday night. General Chaffee. had this to say of the boys in the trenches" and his fellow. officers, and it sounds like the democratic Chaffee whom Arizonians years ago learned to admire: "As a soldier who has served many years. I know how honors such as those that have been bestowed upon me come. They come to individuals as they have come to me, through the loyal devotion and service of other off cers and soldiers-that great mass of men who compose the army of the United States. They have helped me to my honor. and they have helped my loyal friend Wheaton to his honor, and no man is more free to acknowledge it than that prince of soldiers"

Uncle Shelby, and J. Frank.

Your Uncle Shelby Cullom, whose qualifications for the presidency com prise something more than rare foxi- ness of nature and a facial resemblance to Lincoln, proposes to get into front seat on the antitrust band wagon. The dispatches inform us that Uncle Shelby proposes to introduce a bill early in the coming session which will be a sockdolager against the trusts It is calculated to make every octopus hump itself and hike for tall timber. It is stated that the great Illinois senator is making a compilation of all antitrust bills lever introduced in congress by reliabfe- legislators, and also a compil- ation of all trust decisions ever made by the United States supreme court lnder the Sherman anti-t trust act. z" The object of this compilation is to eu- able your Uncle Shelby to frame his bill with sound timbers.
 We hasten to forward our condo- fences to Colonel J. Frank Wilson. delegate from Arizona. During the campaign the open-mouthed de mocracy were assured by Colonel J. Frank that he would bust the trusts just as soon as he got into congress, and of course he wishes to carry out his pledges. But here comes the selfish Shelby Cullom and gets ready to make every trust jump into the creek a full year before J. Frank can take his seat.

Tough on Timid Congressmen.

The timid congressman will have an unhappy time this winter. One army officer after another reports in favor of restoring the canteen, and the more it is insisted that the enlisted men are being ruined by doggeries under the existing law. the more determined are the ladies of the Women's Christian Temperance union that the government shall never return to the "iniquity" Of permitting intoXicants to be sold on military reservations. What does it matter if every soldier in the army is ruined in body and mind, provided the consistency of the prohibition advo- cates is maintained? The latest officer to give testimony against the existing system is General J. P. Sanger. who was inspector general on the staff of General Chaffee in the Philippines. General Sanger does not hesitate to state that the restoration of the army canteen is necessary to proper disci- p!ine and the good health of the troops in the Philippine islands. In his an nual report, made public a few days ago. he says:
 Tt is idle to speculate on this sub ject. or to say what he ought to be; the American soldier requires health ful outlet for his superabundant ener- gies. or he will find one of a different kind. and all officers who are respon- sible for his discipline and training should endeavor to protect him as far us possible against the loss of those habits Of self respect which have made aim well nigh invincible in battle, and won for him the admiration of the worlG.
 Until quite recently the post ex- change, with it's well regulated can teen. has been one of the instrumental ties through which this has been att tempted, and if, as is believed, it has exercised a wholesome influence on our soldiers at home. in the Philippine islands it would no doubt prove to be a mental, moral and physical beneiac- tion."
 General Sanger gives figures to show that a very large proportion of the men of the army used stimUlants when they enlisted and that number habit 1aIly drink to excess who will resort to native liquors to satisfy their crav- ,ng for a stimulant which would be ippeased at the garrison with beer or ight wines. He continues:
 since June 90. 1900. S07 enlisted men nave been sent hcmc insane and Major Arthur. surgeon in charge of the First Reserve hospital in Manila, where they nave all been under observation and treatment. reports that seventy eight, pr 25A per cent, were insane from the excessive use Oe alcoholic iiquors. The habit of opium smoking among our sol Hers has also been reported.
 It is hardly probable in view or this information that congress will continue inc prohibition against the canteen, when it is evident that the sale of beer would be a protection against such oernicicus habits ard their fatal and distressing results
