GLOBE SIGHTS.
[From the Atchison Globe

lFTom the Atch1son G1Obe.1
What a terrible lot Of thinking a man
does about himself when he lies awake
at night
The devotion a father has for a cross
baby in its second summer, Is acquired;
it is not natural.
When a woman falls sick. her hus-
band never throws enough anxiety in
his voice in talking about it.
In the hoDe of battling the chiegers,
an Atchison woman will call a lawn
party she will shortly give, a 'fete."
We have read a good deal of poetry
about the wooing of the goddess Sleep,
and suppose hat when a man SHORES
that means that he has won her.
We do not begrudge the chigger and
think we should have the right of pick
ing out where they shall sit at the ta-
BILE.
A man is well enough trained by his
wife If he passes the breast of the
chicken to the preacher, and looks
plate.
If you lie awake nights, and there is
a mule in your neighborhood, you will
often hear him give a kick that would
seem to send out half the side of a
barn. We envy the mule: he can kick
as hard as he wants to. Others can't.
The attention of those who worry over
the salvation Of the Hottentots is called
to the arrest of three young BOYS in
Atchison yesterday for stealing. On the
same day five babies, the Oldest IL, were
arrested in Kansas City for burglary.
The Hottentots should really excuse us
while we attend to our troubles at
home.
How people low to pick on the boys!
Girls read Objectionable books without
Interruption, but when a wave of NOR
atty sweeps over the country the wo-
men decide that "Huckleberry Finn is
not good for the boys. The next thing,
they will be declaring against Grape
nuts.

man is proud of her age" says the phil
osopher who gives out marriage licenses

1t is estimted according to the gov
figures, hat the value of the
cereal crops now standing or being har-
vested in the United States, will amount
this year to the sum of two billion dol
lars. This. the statisticians say, ex-
ceeds all previous records by half a bill
lion. The crop of corn, wheat and oats
which the United States harvested in
1900 was tremendous yet if the govern
ment forecast is realized that of 1902
will exceed it by APE. 900. 900 bushels.

seventeen wounded in yesterdays en-

eminent forces five men were killed
and lour wounded.

culatfng pump was out of order and
she had no steam up when she was
attacked by the Padilla. The Padilla.
which was recently painted white so
as to deceive the government officers
as to her identity, advanced unrecog-

the Lautaro. She then began firing
at the Lautaro. The position Of the
latter prevented her from using her
two big guns mounted forward but
she returned the Padilla's fire with
her small after-guns. Her gunner,
however, was the first man killed. The

to obey orders. General Alban, who
displayed great courage, was shot of
