GLOBE SIGHTS.

[From the Atchison Globe.]
Some farmers are as full of inter-
esting information as a dog Is of
fieas.
Compliment some people, and it
makes them feel so superior that they
are apt to be insulting.
When a man quits drinking, how he
lies about the great quantity of
whisky he formerly drank!
We don't care to hear a man talk
about a thing he doesn't understand,
and that we don't understand.
What are neighbors for? They are
to notice things. If you ever did any
ed that that was what your neighbor
was there for.
People grow SO suspicious with
years that If a man hears that a
brother he has not seen in twenty
years is coming to see him, he says,
Now WHAT does he want?"
The women must be drawer than
running were running after some-
thing. We never saw one who was
running away from something.
Every boy should have a dog SO that
he can feel, when his father makes
him go to school. and his mother
that he has one True and Satisfied
Friend in the world.
When wedding cards in town like
Atchison where no one can afford a
lengthy wedding tour, say "At home
after a given date, it means a notice
that the friends are to keep out until
the bride has her pictures hung.
We fail to see why it is regarded as
a lack of refinement to speak of ''1iy-
er trouble" and why heart troubIea.
is genteel. The liver is perfectly re-
spectacle; the troubles the liver gets
into are never scandalous, which can't
always be said about the affairs of the
heart.
Should a woman allow her gentle
man escort to put on her rubbers?
The question has been asked The
Globe. We are of the opinion that a.
man would be very rude not to offer
to put on woman's rubbers. and she
would be very prudish to refuse. Feet
are regarded everywhere as respect
able.
The old and young would be hap
pier If the old did not demand that
the young have so much veneration
for the past, and the young did not
expect the old to be interested in the
future. The old become garrulous in
talking of what they have done, and
have no liberation in listening to the
young talk of what they are going to
When you see lot of boys and
girls coming from school, you will
notice that the boys do not walk with
the girls; they tag along behind and
keep UP a running conversation witt,
them, but they seldom walk with
them. Sometimes boy will throw
snow down girls back and paw her
attention of that kind, but he seems
to be ashamed to be actually in her
company.
A girl gets a new wardrobe at least
three times in her life: when she is
little baby, when she goes awav ~
boarding school, and when she fs rn.rS
ried- A man never gets entirely new
clothes but once, and that is when he
is a little baby, and even then he
would not have had new clotbas
bought for him If they had known he
was going to be a boy.
About half the people hike person-
ads in the newspapers, and the otba-
half hate them. Between the fwo
crowds, the newspapers are alvavo
thoroughly abused.
An Atcnison woman says that NO MN
man need remain single unless 81.
wants to- She says that if she will leo
how to cook, and get a situatton ~
some ones kitchen, some man viii ,.r,.sa ~
along and carry her on. All fha l's S>.ns
girls she ever had soon narried. sooa
