SOrlE EVERY DAY PHILOSOPHY
'Atchison Globe ]

(Atchison Globe.1
 There is difference between slen- der and skinny women.
 Those least capable of giving ad- vice, give the most of it.
 A woman can look pleased when she is not, but man can't do it.
 If loafer would only take hint as readily as he takes your time.
 Some girls have been engaged so often that they can handle a man nearly as well as a widow.
 For every man who works, there are three or four who bother him by trying to sell him something. We have noticed that when a woman hears that another woman was never m love she says Bah '"
 When an agent calls to collect he is not near as polite as he was when he called to coax you into signing the contract.
 When a young man brides himself upon always being perfectly just you may depend upon it others do not think he is.
 Your are always hearing of moth CTS sewing for their daughters. When do daughters become old enough to sew for their mothers?
 Has husband any more right to go into the kitchen and find fault than wife has to go into her hus- bands office and find fault? How much useless talk we indulge in! Keep track of yourself some day, and note how much time you waste in talking foolishness. The shabbiest thing in the world is worn out welcome, but the peo- pie who wear it out do not seem to notice anything wrong with it.
 Give the step-mother credit for this at least. When the children grow up worthless because they were raised as pets, no step-mother is to blame.
 When girl puts on her prettiest dress in the evening in readiness for prince that may come along, that is her interpretation of the bible command to keep one's lamp trimmed and burning.
 How willingly people abuse the good country in which they live, and how extrvagantly they praise a worthless country long way off ! A man from Idaho lately wrote a friend in Atchison, telling him that in Idaho, money is as easily made as bad reputation in Kansas, and this Atchison man has been walking up one side of the street and down the other praising Idaho and abusing Atchison county. All this in spite of the fact that Atchison county is undeniably part of the best sec ton of the world, whereas Idaho is as unreliable as w. J. Bryan's theo- ries about finance. Don't abuse a good friend it's; mean trick.
 When you get up in the morning be grateful that it was after q nice undisturbed sleep in your own bed | When you dress, stretch out in the luxury of having room to stretch out in and go to your breakfast with a thought that it will not cost you a dollar and that the smoke will not make you sick while you are waiting Tor It: During the day pause once Tn awhile to be grateful that you are not being whizzed through the air with cinder in each eye and with | your lungs full of smoke. If neces- | sary get out guide book and mi | your finger on spot after spot, giy- ing prayer of gratitude that vou are not there, or there, or there but are m your own home. As time | progresses more of these little req sons for falling to ones knees will be given for the encouragement of | the Stay at Home Club. Special at- tntion will be given to hotel fires and railroad wrecks.
