A Famous Expression.

A famous expression is, "where
am at?" Its author, former Con-
gresham James Cobb, of Tuskegee,
Ala, died June 4, at East Las We
gas. n. NJ. Mr.. Cobb represented
the Fifth Alabama district in con-
gress for twelve years. The New
York World explains the origin of
the famous expression in this way:
Congressman Cobb held the center
of the stage in 1895, through a con-
troversy with Congressman Thomas
Watson, of Georgia, who charged
him with being intoxicated during
the debate on the Rockwell-Noyes
contested election case, when Mr..
Cobb asked the chair IN Devil
dered way, Where am l at?' Mr..
Watson said that Mr.. Cobb drank
out of a private bottle and was
badly mixed. A long congressional
investigation, with many humorous
aspects, resulted in finding that
Mr. Cobb drank only cold tea. was
not intoxicated, and did not reel
in the alsles', as charged. Com

the beard that caught me. The farms

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Approach of the New Comet Borslli

New York Herald:
An interview with Prof w. w
Campbell, of the Lick observatory. an
nounces that the comet discovered by
NJ. Borelli at Marseilles three weeks ago
has so very rapidly increased in bright
ness that it is now detachable with the
unassisted eye. The new comet is well
within the solar system, its present dis
lance from the sun not much exceeding
the earth's distance from the fiery orb.
but it is only 10000 900 miles away from
the earth itself. AS this interesting OBJ
ject is a few degrees southwest of the
brightest and most northern star in the
constellation of the Swan (nearly due
south OF the pole star), which will be
on the meridian of New York shortly
after midnight. it will not be difficult
to find the comet though if the sky is
clear keen observers will not have to
wait until midnight to detect it As
Berellfs comet has already decorated
itself with two prominent tails, it is
highly probable that with its rapid APP
proach to Perihelion these appendages
will soon become much enlarged. Be.
meath the increasing fierce glow OF
solar heat to which the comet nearing
the sun viii be exposed its development
is likely to become even more rapid ana
startling.

GLOBE SIGHTS.
[From the Atchison Globe.l

TIE AICIilcOn
Even in hot weather we dislike the
appearance of "dapper" man.
No man Is as successful in his hirta-
tions with other women as his wife
imagines.
An Atchison woman who ought to
know better is camping over volcano
for the second time.
We never knew a Pennsyiva MAN who
would admit that he could get real
sweet corn in Kansas.
You are not really enjoying corn on
the cob unless you get butter all the
way around to your ears.
The procrastination of precipitation
is causing Kansas more trouble now
than twins in hot weather
When an old girl has hair on her
arms, she has no more right to wear
elbow sleeves than we have.
Somehow a dress made of goods of
the small polka dot pattern always re-
minds US of flies in hot weather.
When a woman sneezes violently,
there is some speculation as to whether
she broke her corset strings in doing It,
Some distinction is gained by a North
Fifth street family which is entertain
ing q Young Thing who sings in
French
All the punishment we would ask for
some people is that they could be made
to hear their own voices over the tele-
phone.
Il like to tell the reporters news
Church White said today. Il believe
that if I knew something on myself 1
would tell it."
An Atchison girl makes the proud
boast that she has looked for the comet
six nights in succession, with a new
man every night.
The peek-a-boo waists have illustrat-
ed the fact that it is the girl who
doesn't take physical culture who still
pads with a towel.

That is a very miserable muddle into

Japan has her equally legitimate de-

sion. That is one of the conditions or
her national existence. Why should
these legitimate desires collide untn
there seems to be no solution except
that of arms? Why should not for
