KANSAS AND KANSANS.
Rev Chas. M. Sheldon of Topeka, the author of the famous book "In His Steps," is to show the people what a daily newspaper should do according to his ideas. He is to assume editorial and business control of the Topeka Daily Capital for the week beginning March 13, and will give us a daily newspapers in accordance with the ideas of his famous book. Ed Howe of the Atchison Champion suggests that to even things up, Editor Hudson of the capital be allowed to fill Rev. Sheldon's pupit that week, but so far we have not heard of Hudson accepting the proposition. The Capital, as issue by Rev. Sheldon, will be watched with interest.
The candidacy of Hon. J Ralph Burton for the republican nomination for United States Senator, is just now attracting a great deal of interest in political circles. Mr. Burton is a great friend of the young men, and his ability is unquestioned. In conversation with us a few months ago, he stated that he got his first lesson in politics at the State University in the east where he attended school, and that the experience he got in that way has been serviceable to him to this day.
Lawrence is not the only town in Kansas that is being troubled with burglarars and footpads. It seems that Wichita is suffering from an epidemic of woman footpads. The local papers refer to them as skirt pads which is probably in good form.
Herbert B. Stimpson, a young lawyer of Wichita, has been knighted by King Humbert of Italy upon the recommendation of the minister of public instruction and other distinguished men of that kingdom. His official title is now knight of the order of the crown of Italy. It is believed that he is the only American possessing such an honor, as the order is usually conferred only upon citizens of the kingdom of Italy.
This is the third decoration confered upon Mr Stimpson, although he is but 30 years of age. For blowing up the walls of Dahomey and services rendered the French republic in three African wars he has received the military medal of France, and for saving the lives of eleven persons during the disastrous charity bazaar fire in Paris in 1896 he was given the grand cross of the legion of honor. The Italian honors were bestowed upon him for various services to Italy, principally among scientific lines. The immediate cause of it was a service he had rendered Major General Rocchi in the shape of a suggestion, which was invaluable in the general's operations in Abyssynia.
Dr. Bessels died a dozen years ago and left his family with practically nothing but
Mr. Stimpson is the step-son of the cal-
ebrated scientist, the late Dr. Bessels, wno
for thirty years was the secretary of the
Smithsonian institute at Washington.

the legacy of a grand scientific reputation-Mr. Stimpson after graduating from the law department of the University of Virginia, went to the University of Paris with practically no resourses. Being hard up one day he joined the "foreign legion" of the French army as a second class private and became first sergeant. He was the best educated man of the regiment and understood the sciences. Volunteers were called before the walls of Dahomy to place a dynamite cartridge in a mine, and Stimpson was the first to offer himself. In the destruction of the walls he received several wounds and barely escaped with his life. The French military medal is given only for twenty continuous years of service, but an exception was made in the case of Mr. Stimpson in appreciation of his bravery at the siege of Dahomy. He also served in the operations south of Morocco and in Timbutocto.
When the Americans and Spanish threatened war, Stimpson hurried across the water. He arrived on a Saturday afternoon, and the following Monday morning had secured a commission in the department of engineering and science. It was he who managed and ascended in the balloons of observation at the battle of Santiago and made a distinguished record at that time, as well as afterward, in removing explosives from the harbor. Prof. Lambroso's most recent book was dedicated to him.
A queer gegius this same Mr. Stimpson. He has a wonderful record, but it is next to impossible to get him to talk about it. He is a wonderful student of criminology, and that is why he is pursuing the law. He has a small, bare little office in Wichita, and has no general acquaintance except among persons whose minds lean to literary, scientific and philosophic thought. He is a doctor of law and a doctor of philosophy. He is undoubtedly the most intellectual man in Kansas, and, as a matter of course, is considered a crank by the vulgar herd.
It is announced that Miss Louise Evelyn Lease, daughter of the well known speaker and reformer, Mary Ellen Lease, has gone to New York and will prepare herself for the lecture platform. Miss Lease is quite gifted at that line and has already delivered several lectures on reform topics. She has entered school in New York and after she graduates, she expects to do some newspaper work for a year or two before going on the platform. She is following in the foot steps of her mother.
AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
President Tucker of Dartmouth has announced that the Amos Tuck school of administration and finance has been established under the conditions of the $300,000 fund given by Edward Tuck of the class of '62, as a memorial to his father. He stated that the object of this new and novel school was to train college graduates whether they enter the profession or not, in the principles which underlie the management of private and public business and so far as practicable in the methods of administration.
The school will be open to those who present bachelors' degrees, but special students are to be taken for particular courses. The school will open at the beginning of the next academic year, September 13.

The tazy*student thinks he is beating his teachers. Not so. He is beating himself. The joke is all on him. He takes his punishment in the self-inflicted loss o' the opportunity to secure an education. Such opportunity in the nature of the case can come to the vast majority only once. Advancing years bring other cares. The mind, the character, mature and harden. The season of susceptibility to new impressions, and especially of capacity for development, goes by, never to be repeated, never to return. The man settles into form for life. No after cultivation, even if possible, can expand him. The lazy student is a stunted growth. His habits unfit him for place or service in the busy world. He is unequipped with useful knowledge and has no facility of the little he can-not help knowing. He is undisciplined, undeveloped, uncultured, unskilled in every line. He has lost his opportunity for an education. The appropriate result ensues. He has to take his place and live his life with the influence and emolument of the uneducated. He is not and never can be all he might have been. But he does not care. If he did he would not be lazy. No, he does not care. And admonition is neglected if not scoffed at. Is it not a misplaced sympathy which grieves at his richly deserved and self-inflicted punishm nt?—Purple and Gold.

The reason why so many fail to secure or
