GLOBE SIGHTS.
[ From the Atchison Globe.

IFrom the Atchison Globe.1
Fortunate the bank that has good
man to loan the money.
When it comes to frying chicken,
the best cook is the one that fries the
most of it.
When there is an accident. the peo-
pie are not really indignant unless
lady is hurt.
If a man doesn't know. should he
make bluff at knowing, or acknowl-
edge his ignorance?
An Atchison woman says the wish
she hears oftenest expressed by wom-
en- is, 81 wish L could get fat"
As a rule, the conversation of a
woman who uses the word swell a
great deal, doesn't entertain anyone
over sixteen.
Ever think that If your friends re-
fuse to sympathize with you, it is be-
cause they have found that you have
not a trouble worthy of sympathy?
Though everybody else in the world
may think q divorced man is wrong,
the woman who is about to be his sec
ond wife knows 1t was the woman.
Since the short sleeves became fash
fonable, there should be more recon-
pense in kitchen work: Rolling up
the sleeve must give one such a styl-
ish feeling.
When a man tells US his theories
of government, we have noticed that
ne mas a mighty lazy way OL lednluB
against the store in front of which we
happen to meet him.
We've noticed this: When a drunk
ard rolls into The Globe office to play
with the editor, the editor is always
in. But If a man comes in we are
really anxious to see, we are always
out.
When a girl talks to man on the
street, and he leans up against a wall
while he talks, that is the kind of
man to shake, and shake promptly.
If a man hasn't the energy to stand
up without a wall to lean against. he
hasn't enough energy to make him
worthy of any girls chase.
A reporter counted seventeen pair
of stockings on an Atchison clothes
line recently. Query from the Lancas-
ter Literary society: How many legs
does that mean in the family? An
other query: If each member changed
twice, and the odd pair signifies that
one member changed only once. was
the owner of those legs the old man
of the family?
"while you are living. live well" is
an old saying, usually interpreted to
mean that you should be gay. and get
drunk frequently. The saying is
good one, but it means that you should
take care of yourself and avoid folly
Of every kind. The man who avoids
folly, and is temperate. and honest,
has a much better time than the LOAF
err drunkard and dead beat.

UNIQUE DISTINCTION.

1t is not the least curious feature of
the recent history of international ar
bitration that the administration which
has laid such extraordinary stress on
the effectiveness of gunpowder argu-

that the president under whose admin

KANSAS CONNENT
ADvERrIsING Goods.


Dear reader, did you ever consider
the difference between advertised and
nonadvertised goods? The advertised
goods must be up to the standard,
must be all that is claimed of them.
If they are not it would be only a.
short time until the public found it
out and then the advertised goods
would get black eye they could
never remove. But this is not true of
the nonadvertised goods. The goods
which are not advertised are usually
cheap, the shoddy, the deceptive ap-
pearing and positively worthless
goods They do not have to come up
to any standard made by general adj
vertising and naturally they are just
about as poor as they can be gotten
UP to make a good appearance. Buy
any two articles you wish-one that is
generally advertised and one that is
not See which one lasts the longer
or proves the more valuable in the
end. You will learn quickly why the
advertised article is the best. 1t has
to be. to stand on its merits. Always
buy advertised goods.-Anthony Re-
publican.

THE HOW OF IT.

AS near as we can make out Judge
Prftchard upholds his own right to
butt into the North Carolina passenger
fare controversy and then decides the
state has the right to make rates. so
long as the rates are not made higher
than PA cents mile. In other words.
the state was right but could not go
ahead until the United States through
the circuit court told her to do so. The
lnterlacing of authority between state
and nation is a constant puzzle to the
average citizen and the lawyers don't
seem to know very much more about 1t.

The Board of Election Supervisors of
Havre de Grace on Monday made up the
ticket for their municipal election to be
held on the first Monday in May, as fol-
lows: For Mayor, Isaac Hecht and

on the question of issuing 81, 900 ofbonds
for the purpose of erecting a hose house.
MIR. Hecht, who some years ago erected
a fine hotel near the Pennsylvania rail-
road station, has long been recognized as
one of Havre de Grace most progressive
citizens. and if elected would doubtless
impress his personality upon the develop.
ment of the city. Mr.. Charles T. Wilson,
who has spent all of his life in Havre de
Grace and been connected with the Havre
de Grace High School as vice principal
for upwards of thirty-f FIVE years, is recog.
nized as a safe, conservative citizen. In
their municipal contest party lines are
discarded ia Havre de Grace and local
issues reign supreme. The contest will
doubtless be sharp from start to finish
and the town will be in safe hands which
ever ticket shall be elected.
