POOR RICHARD SAYS
Many have been ruined by buying good pennyworths
OFF FOR THE WAR
At last the University soldiers have ready at the tongue's end a valid excuse for their existence. There is a bare chance that they will get to watch the "greasers" over the line in New Mexico and Arizona. Undoubtedly if such orders should be received, there would be more than ten times too many applicants for a few remaining vacancies in the rank and file.
Kansas always have had a reputation for being fighters of the first water. A quick glance at the historical panorama will illustrate that fact. The present generation of fighters does not belie the record set by predecessors. It was only last summer that the University company livened camp life at Fort Riley by picking a quarrel with a company from a sister educational institution.
And they won their engagement too.
SHALL THEY PLAY?
If it takes the official tooter two seconds to toot the toots for one toot, how long will it be before he goes on a "toot."
The action taken by the Men's Student Council in recommending that three students who have played summer baseball for money, be declared eligible to play in the Missouri Valley Conference, re-open again the whole question of professionalism and the relation of the college man's summer baseball to his college amateur standing.
As a member of the Conference, the Athletic Board of the University can not ratify this action unless the board wishes to abrogate the ruling of the Conference stating that men who have played ball organized under the national commission, shall not be included in the re-instment provision. If these men have played in ball organized under the national commission their very excellence has worked their ostracism from the University team and as long as the rule remains valid or the books of the Conference, it must be observed.
However, there is merit in the plea that the men make for re-instatement to amateur standing. They have showed themselves bona fide students at the University. They have not attended the University for the sole purpose of playing baseball, and they have proved themselves worthy of representing the University on the athletic field.
It must be remembered at the same time, that in the regulation of baseball eligibility, other principles enter in for consideration besides those of purely academic work. It has been found that intercollegiate amateur athletics may not be conducted entirely on that basis. There is a higher ideal in college athletics that must be maintained.
Undoubtedly, there is a vast difference between the attitude of the athlete who enters into his game for
the fun in it and that of the man who takes part for pay.
The attitude of the amateur changes when he becomes a professional, and by professional is meant one whose business is some form of athletic work. He no longer plays with the ideals of the true amateur and he has been denied admittance to that company.
It is fitting that intercollegiate athletics should have such ideals to follow. In all other departments of the University those same principles are held up and maintained. No weakening alterations are sanctioned. Why, then, should the athletic department weaken and declass its ideals?
Educational Note.—The New York Herald observes that the three dogs enrolled at the University of Kansas will easily master the college yell but will find it hard to turn up their pants.
BORES
The girl who always says the obvious thing, who is always echoing the latest opinion she has heard about credit cards or Senior Mistress, who never, to all appearances, knew what the inside of an idea looked like$^2$-surely we have all met her, and have at some time or other, been guilty of swearing "wooden oaths" at her, as the minister's wife designated the minister's action when he slammed the door. We have all met her, because she is ubiquitous—but have we all discriminate in regard to her?
There are many different kinds of bores. There are bores who are pompous and condescending and very much needing snubbing; there are bores who are pain dull, and not responsible for their inanities; but there are other bores who are tired, or shy and ignorant about letting the humanness that is in them out, to meet other people's humanness. Perhaps the tired bores are more numerous out of college than in; probably you would discover that the shy bores are non-existent, if you took a little trouble about knowing them. Worth it, when there are so many sparkling girls that are easy to know and enjoy?
Of course—it is always stimulating and valuable to find out new people. And you may thereby save yourself from being a bore, for no one is a true bore who is genuinely interested in other people for their own sake—Wellesley College News
SOME RESULTS
The Glee club stopped at Dodge City on their return from the coast and gave an impromptu concert for the travelers who were stalled there on account of the heavy snow. Here are some of the things that the Dodge City Journal said of the men;
A number of easterners complimented the young men, not only for their musical ability but for their clean-cut manly ways. A Yale man told The Journal that it made him wish he were back in school again. It was indeed a disappointment that the boys were not routed this way for their concert trip, but Manager Buser of the Santa Fe Reading Room entertainment committee thought that the date followed too closely the entertainments by the Northwestern University Glee club. The Michigan Glee club had been ahead of the Kansas boys on the Southern circuit, and our youngsters were well pleased when everywhere they were told that the folks liked the Kansas concerts the best. You know there are people here who profess to believe that Ann Arbor is a better school than Kansas.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
AT a country fair there was a Bufalo fooon who made all the people laugh by imitating the cries of various animals. He finished off by squealing so like a pig that the spectacle turned on him, concealed about him. But a Country farmer who stood by said: "Call that a pig's squeak! Nothing like it. You give me till tomorrow and I will show you what it's like." The audience laughed, the Countryman appeared on the screen, his head down squeaked so hideously that the spectators hissed and threw stones at him to make him stop. "You fools!" he cried, "see what you have been hearing," and held up a little pig in front of him, lining to make him utter the squeals.
Men often afford an imitation.
an applaud an imitation, and hiss the real thing.
UNCLE NICKELOUS
SULFIDE SAYS
Bishop Quayle says picnics are as religious as prayer-meetin's. This is far from piicnic season and the bishop hasn't been a Sunday-school super-intendent for a long time. But, it seems to me that when ants get in the sandwiches, an' the lemon pie runs all over the fork handles, the kids steal the ice cream, the girls fall in the crick, and the cows chase the women all over the pasture, and the men strike out with the bases full, that a body loses his grip on religion, and feel around'in his mind for a good old-fashioned, blue feathered cword.
The editors that will visit the University will bring their wives along with 'em. Here's a simple test to tell who's boss. The woman that makes a bee line for the Greek museum has a hen-pecked husband. If he wasn't, she'd visit the Domestic Science department.
I see by the papers that a fellow jumped into the river last Sunday for a two dollar bill. There wasn't no profit in the transaction though, for it must a' cost him about $2 to get his clothes pressed.
Two soles were lost in the Pi Phi's mud hole last Tuesday. A man tried to cross it with low shoes on, and he never saw 'em again.
TRAMPING ABROAD
Margaret Andlin played in "Green Stockings" the other night, but I couldn't see anything of 'em.
During a trip abroad if the "college boys" are willing to button up their pride and wear old clothes during the sea trip they will find the steerage endurable. The accommodations are fairly comfortable and the food plain but wholesome and abundant, and everything is clean. They may be follow-voyagers with a lot of underwear, gloves, socks, that, and if they are healthy boys, both in mind and body, they can have lots of fun.
Steerage passage costs from $25 to $30. If the boys travel in the British Isles they should put up at “temperament hotels.” These little cheap hotels I have always found clean and comfortable and very cheap. They can be found everywhere. It will cost them 15. The waiter will bring us to 9d, or 9d for breakfast. Dinner and supper can be obtained at any convenient place for from 6d, to 1s.
OLD GRADS LIKE DAILY
Travel third-class in England and Scotland is all right, but pretty rank in Ireland. Still I think the college boys could stand it even there, as the trips are short.—OVERSEA in New York Times.

COLLEGE YELL IN THE PHILIPPINES
Yours very truly,
Leo B. Crabb, Kansas City, Missouri
Wednesday a host of friends and relatives of passengers assembled on the dock to meet the Pacific Mail steamship Manchuria. A Filipino band on the dock played several lively asls as the vessel approached, and a number of Japanese of the local colony were pre-joining welcome with their cadets College yells their countrymen of the Warwick University, who came over to participate in the baseball, tennis and other athletic events at the carnival.-Manila Times.

A German inventor has come to the aid of the worker under water, the diver who is threatened by sharks and other monsters of the sea. Hitherto the diver in dangerous waters has had to rely for his safety on the use of the knife, or failing in that, upon a quick return to the surface.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained wisdom from the old book. I book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.
A WATER RIFLE
The German has invented a rifle that can be fired under water and is designed for the complete arming of the diver. The strange feature about this device is that it fires not bullets, but water, which is driven with such force that it penetrates with remarkable power. Indeed, it is claimed that the inventor has the armor of ordinary thickness with the water jet from this strange weapon.
The water rife has a stout barrel and is loaded with a cartridge encased in india-rubber. It is worthy of note, in this connection, that in the Sixties experiments were made with a submarine rifle firing small explosive projects by means of compressed air, but the invention never got beyond the experimental stage.-Harpers Weekly.
According to statistics prepared by the federal bureau of education, the presidents of the Universities of California, Illinois, and Cornell are the best paid in any American university. The president of California receives a salary of $12,000 and house, while the presidents of Cornell and Illinois receive $10,000 and house.
WHAT THEY ARE PAID
The largest sundial in the world is one formed by nature in the Aegean sea. "It is a veritable clock," says the Mariner's Advocate, "the hand of which is formed by the shadow of a promontory which rises 3,000 feet above the water. Near by are a number of small islands, and these are touched, one after the other, by the pointed shadow."
HOW THE OLD BOYS USED TO DO THINGS
A NATURAL SUNDIAL
From the University Weekly March 19, 1898.
K. U. is doing her share in sending relief to the starving Cubans. Twenty dollars were subscribed by the faculty and sent to Kansas City. At yesterday's mass meeting, cash contributions to the amount of $18.65 and subscriptions amounting to $15.35 were secured.
A number of the students spent Wednesday afternoon at the Union Pacific depot waiting for the Fort Riley troops to pass through.
On last Saturday night the members of the T. N. E. held their annual jollification, at the close of which they invited a number of prominent fraternity men to join the organization.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
It is perhaps worthy of remark that the much despised and harassed Laws have within the past two weeks carried off the honors in debating and athletics.
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I'm nearer my home today
Than I ever have been before.
NEARER HOME
Nearer my Father's house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;
Nearer the bounds of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown!
But the waves of that silent sea Roll dark before my sight That brightly the other side Break on a shore of light.
O. if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink;
If it be I am nearer home
Even today than I think—
