consternation was full at Nellgh Mon-
lay afternpon when It was discovered
that a portion of the papers which
went to that town contained an ac
count of the Cheney tragedy at Crelch
ton , while a portion of them did not.

number of papers had been printed and
mailed. The press was stopped In

lifted In. It chanced that some of the

ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.
Nearly every man has a fool habit of
whistling , which ho Is unable to
break.
Compliment a woman to a woman ,
and the woman will say : "Yes ; hasn'K
she improved ? "
Wo believe the old war between
men and women grows fiercer every
year.
How often you hoar this statement
around business houses : "Ho has gone
to lunch. "
A man was punished for a certain-
offense. "You'll know bettor next
time , " said a friend , "Thoro ain't golng-
to bo no next tlmo , " the guilty man
replied.
Nothing pays as well as politeness ,
except Industry and honesty. And an
Industrious , honest man Is handicap
ped If he Is not polite. Don't leave
a trail of grumble nnd HI nature
wherever you go.
One of the sure Indications that a
man is serious In his attentions to n
girl is that ho presents her with a
copy of "Lucille. " If she Isn't a-
school teacher nnd ho Is not afraid oC
her , ho reads U out loud to her.
