GLOBE SIGHTS.
[From the Atchison Globe.1

If you want to make young man
mad. call him My Boy"
Self-denial is easier, in the long
run. than self-indulgence.
The stuff used to kill a smell is US
ua1ly worse than the smell.
The compliments you receive by
fishing for them don't count.
A boys idea of hardship is to have
to wash his neck and ears every day.
It is easier to keep up than it is to
get behind, and then hurry to catch
UP.
The business of providing false hair
for women is now crowding the steel
business for first place.
The mule got a bad reputation by
kicking, although 1t is useful and
reliable animal in other particulars.
No man admires nice woman any
more enthusiastically than we do
Nor can any man think less of fool
ish one.
When a business man is shiftless,
and doesn't get along, we have noticed
that he often tries to lay the blame
for failure on railroad rates.
People are becoming SO impudent
that before we die, we expect to hear
of an agent beginning court proceed
ings against a man for refusing to buy
set of books.
''Oh, it is too terrible, too distress
ing, too overwhelmingly sad." a girl
will say when dog is killed, and
then when dozen men lose their
lives she has run out of talk, and can
only say, isn't 1t awful?"
We are feeling quite proud today:
we escaped from an agent who want
ed to sell us a parrot But he could
have sold us a book. There is always
a lot to say in favor of book: that
books are civilizing. and great educa-
tors, and all the best people buy them,
etc. But there Is nothing to say In
favor of parrot. We hate a parrot.

FROM OTHER PENS
THAT CANADIAN NAVY.

The fact that Canada has decided to
make a start toward building navy
is not pleasing to all Canadians. On
Friday a delegation representing sew
asked Premier Laurier and the gov
eminent mot to create the spirit of
militarism throughout Canada" They
came on behalf Of the Canadian
Trades Congress, and their mission
did credit to the body that sent them.
Premier Laurier was not able to
give much comfort to the delegation.
He said that the time has not come
for the world to see the futility of ex-
penditures upon armies and nav1es,
and that it is as impossible yet to do
without soldiers and bluejackets as
without policemen. It was decided as
long ago as 1907, he went on to say,
that Canada should do something in
the way of assistance to the scheme
of defense of the motherland and the
empire.
1t will be noticed how much en-
phasis the premier lays upon the idea
of assistance to the British Empire.
1t is the empire, rather than purely
Canadian needs, that is calling the
Canadian navy into being. For that
we can be thankful to the good sense
that exists upon this continent. If
the Canadians wish to build navy
for imperial purposes that Is their af-
fair. It is to be expected that the
navy Will De a cfGQltdDl6 one, anu II
should not be so big as to be q bur-
den. There is no indication, in fact.
that a burdensome navy is planned

CUBA'S GOOD SHOWING.
There may we'll be both surprise
and qualification at the financial con-
dition of the government of Cuba. as
set forth in the statement of Presi-
dent Gomez in his message to the con-
firming the dismal prophecies of a
deficit running into the millions. In
stead, the president of Cuba not only
announces that there will be no
deficit, but a surplus for the year, If
the rate of collections continues, es-
timated at more than $4,000,000. 1t
is with it's finances that critics of in
dependent Cuba have been chiefly con-
cerned. 1t may be admitted that the
island is enjoying year of exceptional
prolific, live stock has increased. new
roads have been built and immigra-
ton has increased. But If this be a
fat year, there Is no occasion for pes
simism, at least as to economics. The
natural resources of Cuba are stable,
government that proves itself reliable.
There is every reason why the island
should prove even more abundant in
productiveness than in the days when
the fruits of it's industry were looted
for the enrichment of corrupt Spanish
officials. and when notorious public
theft hampered individual enterprise.
All these evidences of material prog
ress are causes of congratulatton. But
they do not demonstrate either the
moral or the political stability of a
| land which derives part of its public
revenue from the lottery, and where
Strikes have weakened confidence in
the loyalty Of its native army.-Wash-
ington Herald.
