'Tis cheaper far your kindling to buy.
"I'll pay for the candy and do stores." said he.
"The older and son shall all be free."

HIBERNAL HOMILIES.
Sometimes I think we are too free and easy out here in the west. Though too much stiffness and ceremony becomes treasure, we have plunged into the opposite extreme. One particular that I do likes is the lack of discrimination in the bestowal of titles. For instance how grossly abused is the word "professor." We have fallen into the pernicious habit of designating by this term all those who give instruction in any line from a dancing master up to the occupant of the highest chair in a college. Now this is a great mistake, for the word is becoming almost entirely without meaning, or at least without honor attached to it. The fact is this term should be restricted to colleges, and even there should only be applied to those teachers, who fill established chairs. This thing of styling all the teachers in the University "professors," whether instructors, tutors or advanced students who occasionally may hear a recitation is a regular farge, and always sounds to me like a huge joke. I do not mean any disrespect to our able body of instructors and tutors but I do believe in calling persons by the proper titles, and in paying more respect to our professors than we do now by making their title one of more distinction.
In looking over the annual catalogue I notice, with regret, the large number of students who put an end to their college career when they have passed through the Freshman or Sophomore year. A very few who enter K. S. U. carry home with them a diploma. The tendency to enter business life is greater in this new and prosperous State than in the Eastern States, so the University not only loses some students who cannot afford to go through (which number should be very small), but a large number of misgled "boys," who are laboring under the delusion that they are losing valuable time in working over dry books, when they might just as well be engaged in heaping up millions, as to be able to afford to take his beat girl to the Dime Museum or skating rink without first being compelled to ask "Pa" to "please send a remittance." Mistaken youths, if they could only six years hence, rather than having a desire to look pretty and measure calico over a counter, or possibly, with the help of "high standing collars, silken umbrellas, etc," then themselves into ornaments of a railroad desk, they would assiduously devote themselves to their college duties and graduate with the highest honors. Just before arriving at the years of discretion is the most critical time in a young man's life. It is then he forms his habits, both good and bad. A better place than K. S. U., with her efficient corps of professors, could not be found to train himself for the hard blows he will receive in after life. Let all give up the idea of stopping before his course is complete.
BUY BLUE MOUND COAL—SOLD ONLY
BY A. J. GRIFIN.
My Dear Griffin:—I have heated my house with a furnace for five winters, including this, and have tried nearly every kind of coal in this market. The Blue Mound coal which you have furnished me this winter, is far superior to any I have yet used, in every particular. It never "clinkers," burns to a clean ash, has plenty of heat, and is particularly desirable in keeping a steady temperature for a long time without attention. I hardly think a better soft coal can be found.
Truly yours,
JAMES H. CANFIELD.
Lawrence, Jan. 4., '86.
A. J. Griffin always has coal on hand. Orders filled on half-hour notice. Antacite, Canon City, Illinois, and all the best grades of Kansas coals. All coal sifted for the retail trade. During the prevalence of the present cold wave, send him your orders. Telephone connection at both offices.
