ED. HOWE SAYS

“ ' When on a train a country boy usually tries to act like a traveling man. Every time we look at the baseball park in a small town somehow we can’t keep from smiling. "I am always looking for work,” said Doc Robinson today, “In order to get out of its way before It strikes me.” We are never indignant over a Got; lege Cane, flush, unless it happens that some one engaged fails to get hurt. Why do people “dress up” when they take a ride on a train? The dirtiest thing on earth Is the average railroad train. Just because your friend tells you his secrets, is no sign iou are trustworthy; it only indicates that your friend talks too much. An Atchison man spends so much time telling his troubles that there is considerable curiosity to find out when he found time to have them. We don’t object to shaking hands occasionally with farmers who oome to town only four or five times a month, but we object to shaking hands with town men every time we meet them. —Atchison Globe.
