SUNFLOWER SERMONS.
{Atchison Globe. J


(Atchison Globe.)
The world is full of men and wom-
en- who do nothing. They generally
impose on someone who works too
much.
Whenevr a man gets to making
money, his kin consider it is their
duty to work him for just as much
as he will stand
How people dislike to obey the
laws of nature! How fortunate pig
is; he never wants to do anything
that is not good for him.
One of the first indications that a
girl is in love when she looks mad
and turns red in the face when she
hears the men abused,
You have all heard of women who
look like dolls. There is only one in
Atchison who looks like doll,
though great many think they do.
There are so many worthless men
in the world that man who be-
HAYES himself half the time, is toll
erably sure to become distinguished.
If your mother was one of the
kind who left the children play with
everything in the house, you had a
good time, but you haven't any heir
looms.
Il hope" says man of twenty,
that things will be better tomor-
row" Il hope" he says when he is
past forty, that they won't be any
worse"
Don't take up a mans time in talk
ing to him about the smartness of
your children He wants to talk to
you about the smartness of his chill
dren.
The women's idea of a nice modest
girl is one who does not try to flirt
with any other girls sweetheart. The
masculine idea is one who does lot
flirt at all.
When a woman's friends tell her
she should get out more in pretty
weather, and let the Homework go,
she looks reproachfully at her hus-
band when she says she can't.
A widow says to her second hus-
band: You have to love my chill
dren," but widower says to his sec
end wife: You don't have to love
my children unless you want to-"
What has become OF the old fash
toned woman who used to say to a
bachelor with a sore throat: You
need a sleeve around your throat
with a woman's arm in it. -
When a man dies, it is customary
to say that he left a vacancy that will
be hard to fill There isn't any vacan-
cy left. If you take cup of water
out of the river, it leaves no vacan-
Icy.
There should be some title placed
before a mans name to show that
he is married His face never tells
whether he is or not. A woman Is
labeled, with Mrs" Why should not
a man be?

Customs Sleuths Scent Case for
Coroner, But Lady Ventriloquest
Was Batting Them.

NEW YORK, Aug 24.-Mrs Mabel Sin
clair, a fair young Englishwoman with a
trunk large enough to conceal family
of small children, was a passenger by
the Anchor liner Caledonia, in from Glas-
cow Yesterday She was solicitous about
the trunk, as was her husband, and the
customs sleuths, particularly the plain
clothes expert Tim Donahue. lowered
around her.
Capt. William S. Conrow Of the sur
veyors staff stood near Mrs. Sinclair while
an inspector opened the trunk. A voice,
apparently proceeding from Conrow. whis-
pered to Donahue:
keep a sharp lookout on her and her
husband, Tim; they will fool you IL you
let them"
Collides With Suspect.
Donahue winked knowingly at Capt.
Conrow and brushed against Sinclair.

The inspector at work on the trunk
turned white and finished the unstrapping

Telephone for the coroner" said DON
ahue to Detective Moody The detective
looked over the edge of the trunk into the
depths and saw the figure of what seemed
like a small boy with a mans head. The
eyes stared upward exDressionless.
A Queer Corpse.
AS Donahue remarked. What a queer
corpse!' another voice below the figure
murmured. Take him off: he's killing
me-"
The inspector on the search lifted the
queer corpse out of the trunk and every
body saw pretty plainly then that it was
a marionette. Capt. Conrow, who is a
friend of Mrs. Sinclair. introduced her
to Mr.. Donahue as the ''only woman
ventriloquist and the cleverest in the
world Mr.. Donahue refused to search
the corpse or the other marfonette that
had called for help.
Mrs. Sinclair and her husband will spend
q few days with the family of Capt. Con-
row and then go west to fulfill an engage
ment Of twenty-five weeks. beginning at
Butte. Mont. She will return to London
under a five years contract, and may
come to New York perhaps in 1913.

Perhaps you don't consider your time

yourclothes are, and you certainly value
your health.
Fels-Naptha saves your coal or other
fuel because it cleanses your clothes in cool
or lukewarm water, with no need for hot
tire to heat water or boil your clothes,
either In summer or winter.
1t saves your clothes because there is
no boiling to weaken their fibre and no
hard rubbing to wear holes in them.
It saves your health because it takes all
the back-breaking work out of washday
and removes the danger of catching cold
from overheated room or steaming suds.
Aren't these things worth saving?
