Every man has his crazy vanity. The writer's vanity is that he was judge of the State University oratorical contest and picked the winner. The winner of that contest won the state contest. The youth did not have a climax in his piece and at the end said he hoped the "poet's dream" wouldn't come true. The "poet's dream" is a very bad affair and the boy got first place for having sense enough to see it and courage enough to say so. He should win the interstate contest—Emporia Gazette

The Indians are taking advantage of the fine weather and are playing practice games every other evening. A reporter for the Weekly joined in a couple games with the boys last week and found them in splendid condition for this early in the season. The only valuable last year's man that the Indians will loss is Brown, who covered second base. To compensate for him there are at least four men who handle the sphere and stick in a manner which is sure to bring them to the front. Catcher Keelar traveled with a Nebraska team last summer and seems to have profited by his experience. His throw to seco nd is "guilt-edged," as Adrian 'Sherman's.'
The Varsity team will play a series of three games with the Indians before the opening of the league schedule.

FRED FUNSTON ON CUBA.
It was about this time that Col. Funston went to Cuba as a volunteer officer with the "Dauntless" which carried a company of men, 1,300 rifles, two Hotchkiss guns and vast quantities of ammunition. After an exciting chase by a Spanish ship, the expedition landed. Col. Funston graphically described several of the more important battles in which he took part.
In speaking of his trial by a Spanish court-martial on his way home Colone Funston said: "After two hours' investi-gation the court decided that I was probably guilty of being an irreconcilible insurgent, but that they could not prove it. So I had to chose between signing a parole, and lying in prison till the close of the war. It would have done Cuba no good to do the latter, so I signed the parole, and was allowed to go to Havana."

A Large Audience Listens to a Stirring Lecture.
GEORGE FOSTER FRESIDENT.
Fred Funston lectured before a large audience at the University last night on Cuba. Col Funston began by telling of the beginning of the insurrection.
"The Cuban army is an organized body of men, not a band of guerrillas," said Colonel Funston. "There are six corps, divided into two divisions; the Department of the Occident, under Garcia, and the Department of the Orient, under Gomez. In each division there are two brigades, in each brigade two regiments, in each regiment two battalions, and in each battalion two companies. There are between 50,000 and 60,000 men now in this army, 15,000 under Garcia, and 40,000 under Gomez."
"After the rebellion of 1878, the Cubans laid down their arms. A treaty was negotiated, and for some time a pretense was made of carrying it out. In a few years the Cubans were infinitely worse off than they were before. They appealed for reform. The Spanish said "wait—wait—wait," until finally the Cubans burned up their petitions and treaties and bought breach-loading rifles and metallic ammunition.
"Marti was the first leader. Then Maceo came from San Domingo, and Gomez from Porto Rico. Since the beginning fifty-two vessels loaded with arms and ammunition have landed their munitions of war in the insurgent's hands. The only vessel captured is the Competitor. There were eight thousand Cubans in the field when Gomez made his march from the east to the west of the island. He marched 700 miles in six weeks, fought thirty-two engagements, and sowed the seeds of rebelion throughout the whole length of the island. Tens of thousands flocked to his standard and soon every rifle which could be obtained was in service. Then more supplies arrived, and an artillery force was organized."
"There has been considerable criticism on our country for non-in interference in Cuban affairs. Some are inclined to blame the president for weakness. I do not criticize the actions of the government up to the present time. But now the time has come. The Spanish will have to leave the island, and the United States might as well assist them off."
In conclusion Colonel Funston said: "The Cubans are winning because they are holding their own. But Cubans have not shed their blood for autonomy—we are fighting for independence!" (Ap-Clause.)
