BITS OF EVERY DAY PHILOSOPHY
'Atchison Globe.

It is a rare man who can pay the fiddler without making his wife help.
 Every woman has a certain look with which she thinks she can squelch man.
 There is no such thing as a perfect climate outside of hotel folders and real estate offices.
 Boys really should be clubbed for their neglect of the kind of girls they want their sisters to be.
 You work, and stew, and fret, and rush all day, and at the end of the day how little your work amounts toi
 Girls have the notion that if they can play the piano little, not much is expected of them in more practi- cal ways.
 Many a boy passes through life without hearing kind word until some woman starts out to capture him for a husband.
 It is wonderful and terrible how extravagant engaged folks are with love, and how economical they are with it after marriage.
 If man is accused of dreadful thing, and has never been caught at it, he is probably not guilty. Soon after man is guilty. he is caught. This is rule that never fails.
 Occasionally we hear of women with tender hearts. Usually they are quite young; their hearts will be like sole leather by the time they have had three or four love affairs.
 It is expensive to be a friend of a good fellow. He expects you to be extravagant in order to keep ul with him, and finally. when he goes to the wall. he borrows all your money, and induces vol. to go on his note.
 Did you ever notice that warn ing precedes almost every tragedy and that the warning was not heed ed? No one pays any attention tC warnings, and all danger signs might as well be taken down for all the good they do.

Get Together.

Whats that l heard Is 1t true that what that farmer said about the Mena merchants, only few days ago? Is it possible that such could be the condition in this town
 These questions were the first that came to my mind when Polk county farmer (he looked to be an honest man) said that the merchants, whom l had thought held Mena's weifsre always before them, had reached point where they refused to buy his and his brother farmers produce and preferred instead of some other market. Potatoes was the subject of the farmers speech and this farmer said that only a week before he had taken five busf- els of them home with him because he could not sell them in Mena. He also suggested that if the merchants continued to act that way that they the farmers) might begin buying their blows and flour, etc, was from other parties. lie said, what true. that they had never done anything like that. but they could do it if they wanted to.
 That set me to thinking and my thoughts were along these lines.
 If the farmers refused to buy from the merchants and our merchants refuse to buy from our farmers. what will become of our farmers and our merchants and the thou sands that depend on them for a livelihood? The merchant would soon notice his loss in business, he would begin cutting expenses, aud that means dismiss some clerks and in that way many a good man with a family or other dependents would be without means of support. It might even be the cause of some of our merchants going out of busi. ness entirely. On this side many town people would suffer. On the other the farmer would be paying more for everything he bought and his produce would be reduced, he would be suffering at the hands Of the railroads who charge him high rates on all he shipped and the com, mission men in the large cities would be getting good price for report ing to u e farmers how many chick ems died in transit and how badlS the produce had suffered, about tho drop in the market and all those other means of extortion practicet by some interruptions traders. Ane the farmers wife and children would be the sufferers.
 This was enough thinking, so
 began to investigate. I knew some thing was wrong somewhere. s, having heard one side went to grocer and told him what I has heard and asked him plainly. wha was the cause of it. This is wha he told me: The farmers come t, town and either go home h aisgus after trying to sell their stuff D oul
