If you have bad day." and feel
tough, do you inflict your i'll temper
on those who have business with you?
If you do, you are not fair man.
An Atchison man has been sick so
long that when his wife meets people
on the streets, she says, without being
asked He's just about the same"
Listen to a group of women long
enough, and you will hear one of
them name a certain medicine she is
taking that will cure just anything.
We were never intended for an idle
life; we feel so tough as a result of
loating on Sunday, that we are rea-
sOnably certain it was never intended
we should be gent or a man of leis-
ure.
The loafer has a hard time of it.
There are certain men who visit GER
tain favorite loafing places in Atchi-
son every day, and they always drop
in timidly, as though they realize that
their idleness is being remarked
great many years ago wnen there
were Indians and bears, a woman
wore her bonnet fastened on with
strings; nowadays with a policeman
at every corner to scare the Indians

81 am not very satisfactory TO wo-
men," said an old bachelor, today;
they don't admire me, and l don't
blame them; about all l have ever
done for woman is that none of them
have ever been called upon to weep
because of my going away to war;"
Hereafter, instead of hating the
devil, we intend hating those people
who are impolite and unfair, and who
make a speciality of making life as un.
comfortable as possible. And, instead
of worshiping angels, we will in fu-
ture always admire people who are
nice.
If woman tells how her husband
proposed to her, every woman will
drop her work to listen. 1t is related
that an Atchison woman recently told
her experience, and one woman listen
er became so interested she dropped
her baby, and the baby broke in two,
and she never noticed it.
The insurgents start so many stories
that we don't know half the time
what we are doing. If we should hear
that George Washington were still
alive, and writing letters abusing the
corporations, we wouldn't feel safe in
denying it..
Atchison people who crowded
around Joe Schott last fall, to hear
him tell about trip to Germany next
gathered around Warrie Guthrie, who
had been around the world. But now
they are gathered around Frank Casey,
who has just returned from the Reno
prize fight.
There is some fear that automobiles
will ruin the country. We sometimes
think greater danger is advertising.
Magazines are being started almost
as rapidly as automobiles are being
manufactured and a page in the best
| ones costs more for one issue than a
new automobile. And the magazine
publishers are more unreliable about
circulation than politicians are about
their principles.
Men are not as big liars, we some.
Many of the stories credited to them
are invented by other men, as Jokes. "
w. B. COllett is reported as saying
that during his recent fishing trip to
the north, he caught a fish weighing
forty pounds. What he really said
was that fishing was poor; that the
largest fish caught where he fished

The latest disease is called "Recep-
ton Paralysis" Women who stand
in line at receptions and shake hands
with several hundred guests, are sub
ject to it, The day after the reception
the victim feels numbness in her
arm; the next day her entire right
side is numb, and the disease pro-
