Atchison Globe: When a girl from out of town comes to Atchison, she somehow creates the impression that she never walks to the theatre; that in her town the young men engage hacks. We hope that no Atchison girls ever create such a silly impression away from home. It is no credit to a town if its young men hire carriages every time they take a girl a few blocks. It indicates that they are profligates and speeddrifts, and will make poor husbands. Most Atchison girls walk or ride on the street cars and we are proud of it.

Y. W. C. A. NOTES
The party given at Mrs. Bailey's last Saturday afternoon for the Senior girls was a grand success. Mrs. Bailey's pleasant parliars were decorated with potted plants, and presented a very charming appearance. After a short time passed in getting better acquainted with one another, the guests were furnished with cards on which a set of questions was written. The answers to the questions were all words ending in t, ty or tie. When this had been disposed of tea was served in the pretty dining room. Souvenirs were presented the guests in the shape of cards cut in the form of the letter T, and tied with the Senior colors, green and white.
The reception to be given to the Seniors and faculty, by the cabinets of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A., has been postponed from last Thursday evening to next Friday, March 2. It will be held at the Y. M. C. A. house on Kentucky street.

In the first place we have very few real poor people in Kansas and what we have we treat well, exceedingly well.
Probably better, gentle reader than in any other state in the union.
Here for instance is a sample story that we can give by way of example from Finney county.
The Way They Do in Kansas.
"What is the chance for a poor man in Kansas?" asks an eastern reader.
This story is official. It is gathered from a report made to the State Labor Commissioner by one of the county officials.
Finney is a large county living well out in the western third of the state. It has an area of 1,296 square miles. The county, it will be noticed, is as large as the entire state of Rhode Island. In all this area it seems from the report, there is but one pauper, and he is well cared for. The county has provided a poor farm worth $20,000 and fitted it with buildings worth $3,000. To look after the welfare of this financially embarrassed citizen, the county provides a superintendent and a physician. Last year its solitary inmate spent 170 days in the $53,000 home provided for his comfort at a total expense to the county of $46
It would have been cheaper possibly to have paid his board at the leading hotel of the county seat, but there is nothing home-like about a hotel. In that case he would have simply been a common boarder, taking his chances along with traveling men and other guests of the place. He would have no $3,000 - building practically all to himself, and no superintendent and special physician to look after his welfare. What the gentleman did the other six months when he was not occupying the county home for the financially embarrassed, the report does not say. We presume, however, that he was out on a vacation and may, for all we know, have been enjoying himself at some health resort, a pleasant example of the muñificent generosity of Kansas people.
We ask in all candor, what other state in the Union can point to a county within its borders which fits up a $23,000 poor farm far the benefit of a single unfortunate citizen? What other state can show a county with 4,000 people, an area of 1,200 square miles and only one pauser? We challenge the world for comparison — Topeka Mail and Breeze.
For reception wear we've just received by express, full line sizes, the light pearl gray Kid Gloves, black or white stitching. Price ought to be $1.50, but the price is $1 too; at WEAVER'S.

Why the Harpers Failed
The causes of the failure of the Harpers are thus summed up by the Brooklyn Eagle:
"When the elder Harpers established their business, the American reading public was small and the people who bought magazines and books were an intellectual aristocracy. The rule of the publishing business, which purveyed luxuries, was small sales and large profits.
"Within the last fifteen years that rule has been comp etely reversed, and the people who made money rely on enormous sales at small profits.
"The new men who have come into the business, have sold books with no more sentiment than they would have expended upon a trade in whiskbooms or overshirts.
"The they have adopted the principle by which other merchants prospered, while the Harpers have stuck by the traditions of their house of fine goods at high prices and of the highest honor and generosity in dealing with authors."

K. U. WINS SECOND PLACE.
WASHBURN IS GIVEN FIRST PLACE IN THE STATE ORATORICAL CONTEST
WAS AN ENTHUSIASTIC CONTEST.
C. W. Meers the K. U. Representative Does Well and Many Think He Should Have Had First Place.
In the oratorical contest Mr C W Meyers of Kansas University had a walkway for second place while all of old K. U.'s opponents, except Washburn, thought Meyers had as easy first. Mr. Cell who won first place, had no easy thing of it. The Salina college should remember and not depen upon a last year's bird nest. They perhaps thought the flag with "remember last year" upon it would have the magic effect of "Remember the Maine." Their orator had heard Paderewski play, and took for his theme "Music and the Age," and showed how music affects the human race from start to finish, from the rebellious babe in the cradle to the daring hero on the battle field. Baker had not recovered from the small pox sufficiently enough to have the quarantine raised. Each delegation had to go about with a strip of that yellow emblem of danger upon him. While Baker was not as game as last year, she walked off with fourth place. Their oration was a petition to Uncle Sam stating that Baker was the Occident and the Philippines were the Orient, and that it was a much needed policy, for this government to turn the Orient over to the Occident for safe government and good religion.
The two orations that had caused some fear among the orators, "The Hero of Contention," and "Malame Roland," proved successful in getting seventh and eighth places respectively. The scrap that enteraed the audience while awaiting the decision of the judges, very tame.
In the meeting of the association those delegates that represented the always defeated institutions made a struggle to change the constitution of the association, with the hope, that, as it could be no worse, a change might in some way help them. But the dangers of changing the constitution were pointed out by its ardent supporters and no effective changes were made.
