Flattery also begins at home

"a short grass paper intimates that

GLOBE SIGHTS.

IFrom the Atchison Globe.1
No one admits stubbornness: he calls
it pride.
The great difficulty seems to be to
be both good ana interesting.
If anything can be more contempt

Moderation may reach excess, but
excess can never go back to modera-

rel with each other about in real life,
but on the stage they always quarrel
about some man.
Tell a woman to save a sinner, and
she will fix her prayers on some wicked
man; no woman ever tries to save an
erring woman.
When a woman buys anything that
costs more than two dollars, all her
men folks are seized with an ambition
to convince her that she bought gold
brick.
In every family the daughters coax
mother into spending more on them
than father can afford and then hide
out and let mother catch 1t alone when
the bills come in.
Here is a point In etiquette we have
never seen settled: Is it proper for
Mrs. A. to borrow spoons, dishes, etc,

THE BEAUTY QUEST.

If yous beauty's on the blink
All you have to dos to think
In some transcendental curves,
Then IL your mugs to the bum
Peachy pulchritude will come,
As such thinking well deserves.
If you're rectilinear,
Or If you are SKINNER
Than you should be, get a hump
On your cogitations till
Presently you'll find you fill
Out all curvily and plump.
Very pleasant is this dope,
Angular ones full of hope
Now are filled-with new designs;
But to stop to think of it,
How can this be made to fit?
Fashion this falls all straight lines

SONONA IN PORT
AFTER COLLISION
THIRD OFFICER OF THE LINER
WAS IN CHARGE AT TIME OF
ACCIDENT OFF POINT ARENA.

SEATTLE, July 9.-Steamship So
noma arrived in port yesterday, bring
ing a full complement of passengers
and a large freight cargo. The Sono-
ma is in port for the first time since
her collision at sea with the schooner
Advent, about thirty miles off Point
Arena. The Advent arrived Monday
afternoon at San Francisco in tow of
the steamer Gualala. The third officer
of the Sonoma was on watch at the
time of the collision with the Advent.
He went back to San Francisco on
board the wrecked vessel. The col
lision occurred early Saturday morn
ing. The bow of the Advent was cut
off and only the lumber cargo of the
schooner prevented her sinking. When
day broke, those on the Sonoma, which
had stood by the schooner, saw her
plight and line was taken aboard
the steamship. Capt. Olsen remained
aboard the schooner and the officers
and crew were taken on the Sonoma
and later returned to their own ship.
The Sonoma then started north with
the disabled vessel in tow.
The steam schooner Coaster was
met, but refused to tow the advent to
Gan Francisco unless she was aban-
doned Later the Gualala was hailed
and took the Advent in tow.
An Associated Press dispatch from
San Francisco has the following to say
of the condition of the Advent:

CHINA HEARS Of
ARMS FROM j. 5.
LOOKING FOR CONTRABAND SHIP
REPORTED FROM THE NORTH
PACIFIC.

VICTORIA, B. c., July 9.-Mr. Carl,
Commissioner of the Imperial Chinese
Customs at Marking, who three years
ago accompanied Prince Pu Lun, OF
China, to the ST. Louis Exposition, rep
.resenting the Chinese Government, ar
rived by the steamer Tango Maru to-
day to spend furlough Of two years
in the United States. After spending
many years in the Chinese customs
! service, Mr. Carl said never had he
seen as much progress toward genuine
reform in China as in the last year.
A short time before leaving, Mr.
Carl in common with other members
of the staff, received a notification that
steamer was reported to have left
the North Pacific coast of the United
revolutionists, and the customs Off.
Gals were cautioned by Viceroy Yuan
Shib Kai to keep a close watch. Moth
ing was learned of the alleged contra
band carrier. These arms are being
imported mostly by revolutionists, but
Mr.. Carl does not consider any revolu-
tionary movement can be successful
against the Chinese Government.

who has been living in Japan, and who
is reported to be behind the rebel
movement in the south, is stated, ac-
cording to reports published before Mr..
Carl left China to be in HOngkOng

years with the empress dowager, at
