You can make a life long friend by telling a lazy man that he works too hard.
We wonder if Caeser or Cicero ever ran an apple stand or ground a hand organ.
WHEN a man asks his conscience if he should do this thing he gener ally does it.

WHAT is the matter with College Echoes, we have not seen a copy of it for many moons. Also the Northwestern.
You may hear people talk about the burden of life but they all seem very willing to carry it.
A TRUE philosopher knows a fool because he was formerly ignorant himself, but the fool will never be able to recognize a man of learning because he has never been wise.— H. U. Nuncio.
We are all equally endowed; a fool is simply, what would have been a wise man, spoiled in the making.
Discussion is the half way house where people meet to exchange lies and guess at what they don't understand.—Century.
Did you ever stop and consider that the noble Roman with his Congress sandals and threadbare Prince Albert toga is compelled to listen to his hand organ a thousand times where you are once?
UNWELCOME PEOPLE.
This world of ours, among its many millions of inhabitants, contains not a few who are never welcome any where. Among those who are thus unwelcome are the class known as "peculiar" those who are over stocked with disagreeable idiosyncracies, and whose peculiarities always stick out in front like the long horns of a Texas steer ready to hook and hurt—the angular and misshaped members of the race, the queer specimens who insist upon afflicting their fellows by continually thrusting themselves into places where they are not wanted.
Then there are the fussy people, and those who have a chronic desire to borrow money which they never repay, and those who always talk loud, and those who don't talk loud enough, and those who question us to discover our ignorance, and those who love to sneer and ridicule, and those who ore always positive and obstinate about unimportant matters, and those who always come when they are least wanted, and those who are excessively polite and neat and fastidious, and those who agree with everything we say, having no opinions of their own, and those who always say "I do so and so," and"I think so and so," and those who make a convenience of our hospitality and a hotel of our homes.
It were quite a task to tabulate all the varieties of unwelcome people, there are so many of them. Chief among this class are those who always point out to us our faults, and generally in the presence of others; those who always leave their joys at home and bring along with them only their troubles; those who are hen-like, always cackling their griefs and sorrows in the public ear; those who neglect their own affairs to attend to those of other people; those who stay too long when we are busy; those who always bore us; those who never ride anything but hobbies; those who insist upon talking about things that don't interest us; those who are offensively opinionated, disputatious and argumentative; those who are waspish, full of stinging, hurtful things, those who come to dinner unexpectedly; those who keep others waiting by their unnecessary delay; those who cannot talk about anything but the weather, their children and servants.
All these, with the balance who belong in the same category, are never welcome to our homes or places of business. We tolerate them when they come, just as we do other nuisances, but we do not enjoy them. Society is so constituted that we cannot, except at the peril of losing our good standing, treat them as they deserve; so we are compelled to submit, without demonstration of disgust, to their fatiguing presence, and endure, as best we can, what we would gladly forego. Would that social conventions, hypocrisy and deceit were banished, and that the members of the social organism could act honestly and naturally in this, if not in all respects.—Aitchison Champion.
A GOOD IDEA.
GRADUATES of Yale and HarHarvard in New York and vicinity have subscribed $600 for the purchase of a handsome cup to be known as the University Track Athletic Cup. The object of this is for the encouragement of track athletics and to foster a friendly rivalry between the two universities in track field athletics.
Would not such an idea work well in Kansas in the league about to be formed? We see no reason why the first game fees should not go to purchase a cup to be held by the champions. It would stimulate to more thorough and better preparation in the home practice and in every way conduce to a more lively interest throughout the year. The cup need not cost $500 but should be something in keeping with the plethora of the exchequer of the average western college. What say you, Courier and Reporter? —Beacon.
We second your motion. We don't know what our esteemed contemporary up the creek has to say on the subject but as for us we are heartily in favor of a cup which shall become the temporary property of the winner. If we cannot afford a cup we are able to purchase a pennant or banner which will in part take the place of a more valuable prize. If we remember rightly there is a silver ball around these "diggins" some where that has been offered as an intercollegiate prize, as to its whereabouts now we are not certain. It was won by the "Kaw Valley Champions" away back in the sixties.
TIS TRUE, 'TIS PITY; PITY
'TIS, 'TISTRUE.
The attitude of several of our contemporaries for the last three months, on the subject of a triangular athletic league, reminds us of nothing more than the ancient and revered 'difference between the two small boys,' when their juvenile reputation for pugnacity shoves them, however unwillingly, to the verge of the crisis. But the insuperable obstacle to the grand eulination is that 'one is afraid and the other daresn't.' The sporting editors of the respective papers, reveling in ink, have been calling upon each other vigorously to enter the league and 'let us annihilate you,' at the same time secretly but devoutly praying that the organization may not be effected. The endeavor to establish a reputation in advance renders a good dose of bluff indispensable. Each claims to be anxious to have the league formed, and yet, it is not. The only solution lies in the fact that it is safer for all not to meet and match strength. However, brethren, we would exhort you to organize the league or draw in your plumes. We are 'weary of this bluffing. College Life.
Hold on Brother Kingery, don't rend your linen or raise the temperature under your collar, give us time. We have met, matched and mauled and to accuse us of being afraid to form a league is a deliberate misstatement of facts. We are ready and anxious to form the league and are glad to chronicle the fact that, though a little slow, our delegates are doing their duty and we hope soon to have a permanent organization. Sorry you are not in it, as it is rumored that you have this year a really representative base ball nine.
We nevre took much stock in Washburn's "superior methods" in oratory but the development and proper appreciation of this feature has awakened a new interest in the study of oratorical methods. We see that in slighting their claim for superiority we have done an unintentional wrong and we are glad of this opportunity to do them full justice. There is no doubt but that the oration of the Washburn orator was stolen as is shown in the local page of this issue. We do not want to crow over this, in fact we are very sorry that Washburn should be represented by a man so dishonorable that he would steal the very words and thoughts of an abler and smarter man than himself and pass them off as his own. To the student body of Washburn College we extend the hand of sympathy and condolence in this their hour of shame. It is a query in our mind whether stealing an oration in preference to writing one constitutes a superior method.
WASHBURN Reporter raises its ophidian head above the coil of its own sweet personality and wants to know where is the tri angular league. If you would get after your local representative and punch him up you might find the frame work of a league running around somewhere. If he does not wake up pretty soon frost will catch him and we will have no league. The constitution was sent to Washburn for ratification and it staid there two weeks, the first letter written there was unanswered for a month. This is the way, gentlemen, the game stands. Anything well done deserves credit and we wish to give Washburn all the credit she deserves in this matter. If this is not a case of cow on the track of progress, we don't know what is.

We made a mistake in saying that the musical program Commencement week would be assisted by local talent. Prof. Penny informs us that if places were given to all that deserve them that the program would be six or eight hours in length. Students of the musical department only will be upon the program.
The Amherst system of self government has become quite famous, and many colleges are rapidly following the example set them. By this system the students are direct-
