GLOBE SIGHTS

LFrom the Atchison Globe
Don't enter the movies unless you
can heave your bosom.
A pipe organ usually misbehaves
when it should do it's best.
1t is wonderful how well some men
while pounding a typewriter. to the
utter disgust of some stenographer.
If you are real anxious to have the
work done, perhaps you should do it
yourself.
Perhaps the worst piece of foolish
ness is the old saying that silence
gives consent.
Beautiful as it is, the modest violet
affords very little inspiration to the
press agent.
After a man has quarreled with his
wife, 1t is easy for him to think that
his pipe is his best friend.
A woman's tears are a formidable
weapon If she doesn't use them too
often and develop a red nose.
What's the idea of comparing life
to a bed of roses? Was there ever
rich man who actually slept on
roses?
In Kuhlidge there is a doctor who
swears, chews. smokes drinks and
| flirts. but at the same time he is con-
stantIy talking about the ethics of his
| profession. Sometimes professional
ethics is the funniest thing in the
world.

DINNER STORIES

After one of the famous fairs at
Tipperary, those social diversions. a
man was found guilty of numbering
another man by striking him with a
blackthorn. The judge asked the US
ual question-had he anything to say
why sentence should not be passed
upon him?
well. my lord" answered the pris-
oner, ''all l can say is that a man with
such a thin skull as that had no bus
mess at Tipperary fair"
IN Louisville they tell story of a
politician who always carried a special
brand of cigars in his pocket while
campaigning in the rural districts.
On ore occasion when two friends
of this politician met one of them said:
We'll, old Banks is i'll in bed, I
hear"
Editha was admiring her new sum-
mer frock.
Isn't ii wonderful" she said, that
all this silk comes from an insigni-
ficant wormi''
"Editha, is it necessary to refer to
your father in that way?" her mother
inquired reproachfully.

proximates twenty-five million a day.
The interest charges on this money
alone are appalling for. so small
country.
With the combined wealth of s215,-
O0O, 900, 900, the allies have borrowed
nearly forty-two billion, while the
central powers. with combined
wealth of $4,000, 100000, have bor-
rowed nearly fifteen billion dollars.
The fact that all the countries of
Europe possessed in the neighborhood
of thirty three billion dollars in for
eign securities at the beginning of the
war has practically saved their finan-
cial necks during the past two years
of money scarcity.
The policy of the United States has
always been to pay off its debts as
soon as possible. The debt resulting
from the Revolutionary war was $751;
900, 200, and this was more than cut
in half at the beginning of the war of
1872. This war brought second war
debt of $127, 100000. which was en-
tirely paid in twenty years, while the
Mexican war debt of S6S,000,000 was
reduced to SIS, 900 when the Civil
war started. At the end of the Civil
war our national debt was S2,3S1, 00O,-
900, but this was reduced to $685., OOO,-
900 by 1892. The Spanish-American
war and the financing of the Panama
canal left us with another debt of
81, DAG, 900, 900 to pay off, and this had
dwindled to 1911, 100000 when this
war broke out.
Now We have seven billion dollars
more added to this sum, and the coun-
try will be extremely fortunate if it
does not need more. OF course the
revenue to be raised by taxation will
help great deal in paying the in
terest charges, which will not be al
lowed to accumulate for future Amer
leans.

If censorship be needed anywhere
it is at Washington, it seems. From
all over the United States comes the
same explanation for the lack of in
terest in the bond issue that is being
shown by the public. 1t is that the
treasury department announced some
time ago that the bonds already were
over-subscribed. This, it seems, was
not true and is not true today. But
the people believed it and, dismissed
the subject from their minds. 1t takes
the truth long time to overtake a
lie

Don't try to outwit the fly. He has
no more idea of where he is going
next than you have. Give chase to a
fly and watch him closely. He goes

never seems to carry it out
Flies have lots of nervous energy.
Don't attempt to wear one down.
A very common mistake is to sup

on the wing. Swat them anywhere.

Never swat a fly on a full stomach.

THE GIyERS.
One gave of gold, since he possessed
So many precious things;
Gift after gift robbed him no more
Than land bestowed of kings
One gave of time, since on his heart
The hours so heavy lay
That he might thank the least who begged
A portion of his day.
And one, with time nor gold to spare
Gave only sympathy
And yet men found his gift by far
The greatest of the three
