Roosevelt and Johnson; wouldn't

When woman likes to wait on a
man, that settles it. she loves him.
A real gossip uses this expression
pretty often; 1 got 1t very straight"
Don't laugh at poor old Jeffries;
you've had many a whipping yourself.
We hoped Jeffries would win. so we
believed he would, and, finally. we bet
on him.
When you're bald, accept it like a
man. When you come to die, nothing
will help you. Same way when you're
bald.
A farmer was trying to hire har-
vest hands recently. ct feed WELL" he
said; 'I never ask anyone to get up

In view of the fact that a candidate
doesn't want enemies. he is mighty
willing to risk making them by boring
people.
A certain Atchison Presbyterian has
three ambitions: to attend a prize
fight, see a big railroad wreck and
witness hanging.
An Atchison man who attended the
Fourth of July celebration at Coolidge,
says the playing of the Coolidge band
was misdemeanor.
We imagine Jeff felt Tuesday as
we feel the day after holiday; we
can't get up particle of steam the
day after we loaf a day.
OF course, we wanted him to come
back. but when we remember that he
might have come back as the star
performer in "Davy Crockett" it
makes the blow easier.
Before the fight the men knew why
Jeff would win. and bet on him. After
the fight they are equally clever in
telling why he couldn't win. If men
only had as much foresight as hind
sight.

THE INDEPENDENr BOYS.

What is the matter with the present
crop of boys, and what is to become of
the newspaper offices? Twenty years
ago boy, who started in to become a
printer, worked for from rs cents to
$3.50 a week and had to do what he was
ordered to do. Nine out of ten of them
stayed with the job and became print
ers. But in five years, not a boy, who
started in as an apprentice in the Globe
office, at 81 a week, stayed with 1t.
They seem to have a notion that six
months after going to work they are
entitled to take charge of a linotype
machine. 1t takes time, patience and
industry to make a printer. To be-
come a linotype operator a liberal
knowledge, gained by actual experience.
in setting type by hand is necessary,
and it takes from three to four years
work to acquire that knowledge. But
it is the same in all lines Of work. Boys
are more independent than they used
to be. When the writer was 10 years
old he worked in the harvest field for
25 cents a day, slept and ate his break
fast at home, had to be at work by 6
o'clock in the morning in order to
churn before the dew was off the hay.
Before going home in the evening he
helped with the milking. The next year
he worked on a. farm for four months
at S. month, and there was no knock
ing off at noon on Saturdays to go to
town. 1t was hard work, but hard
work never ruined a fourth as many
boys as fdleness.-Ed Howe in the
Atchison Globe.

kZKSAy COANENT
: NEW USE FOR I.AWYERs

The United States government is
now credited with having the finest de-
tectlVe service in the world The or
ganlzatlon was perfected by the de-
eral Wickersham deserves a bouquet
for the idea.
rms organization has been in conf
mission only short time, but it has
accomplished remarkable things, and is
just getting warmed up to its works.
The arrest of the sugar grafters. the
suppression of the bucket shops, and
half dozen other more or less sensa-
tfonal achievements are due to this de-
tective force.
The head of the force is a graduate
or yale, man of high ability. Before
taking his present job he was a sue
cessful lawyer. The idea of high grade
detective work Of an original kind ap-
pealed to him, and he abandoned the
law to take charge of this government
bureau. He selects his own assistants,
and usually chooses lawyers OF an ad-
venturous. turn. Their legal training is
considered necessary in order that they
may always work within the law. Thus
the evidence that they accumulate
against man or corporation is pretty
sure to hold good in court, where the
evidence gathered by an ordinary de-
tectfve is apt to spoil a case.
This admirable bureau has been so
successful in its brief existence that it
has attracted the admiration of Scot
land Yard and other great foreign Sc
cret service bureaus, and it's methods
are already being initiated and adopted
bodily. This means that the old-fash-
toned human sleuth is doomed. Sher-
lock Holmes, who gets down on his
knees with magnifying glass, to ex-
anime the ashes of a cigar, looks like
a rube beside the new educated de-
tective who shuns everything spectacu-
lar. and attracts as little attention as
possible.
There will be a new kind of detective
fiction in year or two, when the hack
novelists get wise to this government
innovation. Instead of Old Sleuth and
Nick Carter, with their false whiskers
and green spectacles, we'll have ex
judges of the supreme court on the
trail of second story men.-Emporid
Gazette.

THE ROBIN.


When shadows dark have made the world
seem dreary and monotonous
And everything except the sky is blue,
We fancy that the friends we used to
know have all forgotten us
And sunny days have all been gotten
through,
We think that we have reached point
where even bald civility
Is scarce where comradeship was once
so free.
Then we get a salutation from that prince
of affability,
The robin who is singing in the tree
He tells jaunty story OF million well
come visitors
Who come to join and beautify his song
The ghosts if introspection stink away
like gaunt inQuisitors
AS hosts of summer sunshine troop
along.
He takes the sting from every petty hui
man aninosity
Since Nature Just as kind as she can be.
Is scattering her treasures with such
hearty generosity
For us and for the robin in the tree.
