POOR RICHARD SAYS:
A little neglect may breed great mis chief.
The queer thing about "The Beauty Machine" is, the more sand that is thrown into the parts, the better they will work.
It is rumored that as a precaution against a shortage of barkers, free admission to the Indoor Circus will be given to the Yellow Dogs.
The number of pups in Professor Dockeray's dog class should increase noticeably, when it becomes known that the canines can "bone" for quizzes.
If Kansas has more colleges and university students per capita than any other state in the union, as claimed by the University Daily of Lawrence, why should our school be drumming the people every little while on account of their niggardiness in taxing themselves for educational purposes?—Osage County Chronicle.
In other words, when a man's family has increased to a baker's dozen why does he have to hustle so much harder to make ends meet than when he had only one? Why does cruel experience puncture that beautiful dream about how two can live cheaper than one?
MORE REFORMATION
Some members of the senior class have seen fit recently to take the "big stick" in hand and "wade into" the senior annual with the avowed intention of reforming the financial scheme of the organization, so that in the end, the highest efficiency may be obtained for the amount of money that is expended.
Since the class wishes to insure efficiency in the financial department—to obtain the best book that may be published for the sum involved—why not, at this time, consider also the project of increasing the efficiency of the editorial board? There is nothing wrong about the present editorial board. The members only have been deprived of the experience that should have been theirs, by the nature of the organization as it is at present and that is not their fault.
It is unquestioned that every new editor of the annual and every new business manager enters upon his duties entirely ignorant of the exact nature of the work before him. The editor may have a general, hazy idea that he must secure the pictures and write-ups from the members of the senior class and that there is a lot of fun connected with the work.
The business manager is aware of the fact that he must dispose of the edition in some way and that in another mysterious way, the book must pay out. He appreciates the fact that he must secure publicity, but he is not acquainted with the means of obtaining it for his book.
In short, neither one of the officers of the staff may be considered experts or may even well versed in the method of book making. Of course though, they are expected to put out
the best book in the history of the University.
...
Then why not give them a chance to make good on that basis? Why not provide a training course for the chiefs of the staff, which will enable them to appreciate the salient features in the publication of such a book? The saving of men's time alone will pay for the change that would be made.
Let the annual board partake somewhat of the character of those boards of student publications that are self-perpetuating. It need not be a closed corporation, for the plan of class election of officers could still be used. Provide for the election a year earlier and let the officers work with their predecessors and become acquainted with the work they will encounter when publishing their own book. To place the selection of the annual men strictly on the merit basis would be even better, but in that case, an organization of a permanent publishing company would be imperative. Such a training course would save time in starting the work for the next year. The editor, with a working knowledge of the features that are good for the book, would not have to go over all the details that has been worked out before weigh and consider old features perhaps new to him, but in reality old. He could bend every effort or the actual improvement of his book

IT SOUNDS GOOD
The Ottawa Campus is responsible for the following. We don't know much about German, but it shows the Campus' heart is in the right place:
Wir haben mit vergruenge das Deutsche in K. U.s'. tagebelt gelten. Soch ein Interesse fuer das Deutsche muss man loben. Man sollte sich bemühen, um die Studenten, die Deutsche studieren, in eine, deutsche Umbeubung zu bringen. Erst daun keinem sieuer des deutschen Gebiet vorstellen. Wir gern wir Irm Bauspiel beigewohnet hafen! Wir uwenschen Ihnen ein herzlich "Gleuck Auf."
EXPENSIVE ACROSS THE WATER
The statement that the Gaekwar of Baroda's son had left Harvard because his reduced allowance of $250 a week has called attention to the expenditures of young men at English universities.
There are young men at Oxford who spend a couple of thousand pounds a year and are not really so extravagant as other young men who spend less than a quarter of that amount.—London dispatch.
A high weekly average for the expenses of University of Kansas students is six dollars a week.
Doctor S. J. Crumbine's Kansas Health Almanac says for March 14 "David Dickinson appointed first state librarian, 1870."

AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. On now on his way home he had to cross a road. He was not sure if he crossed, he looked down and saw his shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog he took him up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into it, and came back to me. Beware just you lose the substance by

Classes will now be aroused—that is—er—dismissed—by the whistle. Lots o' profs will take as a personal insult the suggestion that it takes a big toot to wake up their classes.
"The high school boys will be here in a day or two," said Uncle Nickelous Sulfide. "If anyone thinks they look fresh, let him shut his eyes and peel two or three years off his own present status. The chances is, the better his memory the better he'll treat the visitors.

Erected at Santa Fe, New Mexico, by the Spaniards in 1605, the Palace of the Governors is now the residence of the one hundred and first executive. After 307 years it has become the executive mansion in the forty-seventh state in the Union with the admission of New Mexico to the family of states and the inauguration of William C. McDonald as the first governor of statehood.
RICH IN HISTORY
There is little doubt that this is the oldest executive building in North America, and it was peculiarly appropriate that it should have been selected for the recent inaugural ceremony which marked the formal recognition of the oldest settlement of the United States.
ITS GREAT AGE
In no other part of the United States could the old and the new be so thoroughly blended as they were at this reception. The old palace was a blaze of incandescent lights. On the front, in large electric letters, stood out the names of five of the numerous great governors of the territory under Spanish and English rule; Mattle, the first Spanish governor; Mills, the剩territorial governor; McDonald, the new and first state governor; Bent, who was slain at Taos, N. M., and DeVargas who retook the city and territory from the Indians in 1692, after 10 years of struggle.
Former Governor L. Bradford Prince tells of many interesting things which happened in the old palace. He says:
CENTER OF HISTORY
From every point of view it is the most important historical building in the country, and its ultimate use should be as the home of the wonton collections of historical antiquities which New Mexico will furnish.
WILL HOLD MUSEUMS
It antedates the settlement of Jamestown, New Amsterdam and Plymouth and has stood during the three centuries since its erection, not as a cold rock or monument, with no claim upon the interest of humanity except the bare fact of its continued existence, but as the center of everything of historic importance in the Southwest. Through all that long period, whether under Spanish Pueblo, Mexican or American control, it has been the seat of power and authority. Whether the ruler was called viceroy, captain-general, political chief, department commander, or governor, and whether he presided over a kingdom, a province a department, or a territory, this has been his official residence.
This is one of the few old buildings in America which will always be preserved for the territorial legislature gave the building over for the use of the New Mexico Historical Society, the Museum of Archeology, and the School of American Archeology, the latter being the only school of American archeology in the world. Since the building has

been given over, the School of American Archeology has restored it so that it follows as nearly as possible the original plans.—Christian Science Monitor.

It has often been remarked that if you want anything done for the public welfare you must go to the busy man or woman rather than to the one who is doing little or nothing. The latter will probably to you he has no time. Wordsworth said of "countless thousands" who are.
TIME FOR EVERYTHING
"Oppressed and clogged By ease and leisure, by the very
And pride of opportunity made poor."
Have you not known some woman in a boarding house or hotel, who has no one but herself to care for, and yet complains of want of time? And can you not point to some other woman who is a model mother and homemaker, who does her own work, and yet finds time to serve on a church committee or the board of the woman's elub?
Emerson declared that "The poor are only those who feel poor, and poverty consists in feeling poor." May not this apply to the poor in time as well as to the poor in purse? —Christian World.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
"One American in 750 is college bred. But 36 per cent of our congressmen, 40 per cent of our senators, 70 per cent of our presidents and 83 per cent of our supreme judges have been college bred men. One physician in 20 is a college graduate—5 per cent. Yet this 5 per cent furnishes 50 per cent of our successful doctors. Twenty-seven out of 68 railroad presidents are college graduates—nearly 40 per cent. And only one man in 750 goes to college.
"The record shows that a college education adds more than 200 per cent to a man's赋能 power. No arithmetic has yet been devised which can estimate the per cent that it adds to one's manliness, usefulness and happiness."—University Missouri.
COLLEGE MEN AUTHORS
Owen Johnson recently made a statement giving it as his opinion that few American writers have been college-bred men. The Yale News, however, presents statistics tending to show the contrary. In fact, out of 759 American writers of fiction, essays or scientific articles, 58 per cent were found to be graduate students, while the faction largest number, 256, is of essayists. Then follow 159 novelists and 27 scientific writers.
Among the colleges, Harvard leads with 83 authors, and Yale follows second, though at some distance. Foreign universities claim 21, Columbia 17, Pennsylvania 16, University of Michigan 4, Amherst and Cornell each 12, Princeton and Williams each 11, Dartmouth 7, and Brown 6. The smaller colleges of the country are well represented, for nearly 50 per cent of the writers included in the graduates' list are from small or medium-sized institutions Less than 4 per cent are members of Phi Beta Kappa.—Rochester Campus.

Nobody ever stops to look at a clay bank until some artist puts it into a picture with a gilt frame and a tag that says $750. Lawrence grew up beside a clay bank, but nobody ever noticed it except the boys who had to go around it on their way to the pasture after the cows. Finally somebody began to bake old-fashioned soft brick out of this clay. Somebody else improved the process. Today Lawrence is paved with its own vitrified brick, and many other cities in Kansas and elsewhere are paved with it. An enormous plant runs night and day to supply the demand.
And there are other opportunities for profitably industry in Lawrence waiting for the man with the insight and ability to develop them.
