ABOUT W. A. WHITE.
(continued from page 1.)
ent pulpits.
In his home town the boyville author is Bill White, to the average person. In New York he is Mr. Allen White the author and editor. In Emporia he goes up and down the street with his hat, pulled down over his eyes and gives the poorest and richest alike a hearty hand shake. In New York he appears in full dress and dines with men that make literature and men that make millions as well as the chief executive of the United States and the most prominent men in Congress, enjoying the company of all and giving full value for what is received.
Iu his home and in his office Mr. White is always happy and congenial. He greets his office devil and his head man with "Well are you happy this morning?" and never fails to comfort them all alike in time of trouble or any other adversary. When church subscriptions and charitable donations are asked, the Gazette editor is the first man approached and his offerings are always among the biggest and he is ever ready to push along a good cause in his paper, which can kill a show, spoil a man's reputation in a few hours, raise money and can even make the town believe a womrn is pretty or extremely homely just as the Gazette believes and advocates His home is one of the finest, it not the finest, in Emporia. It is furnished more homelike and costly than any other home there. The house is very large and is made of red sand stone brought from Colorado. Mr. White attends to his flower beds and yard himself, seeming to receive much pleasure from the work.
Ever since the School of Journalism was started here an effort has been continuously made to secure Mr. White for a short address but so far the attempt has proven unsuccessful. Prof. Hopkins and Chancellor Strong hope to have Mr. White here before the term closes and next year.
EGGED BY STUDENTS.
Officials In a Ladies' Basket Ball Game Had a Tough Time at Ottawa.
The Ladies' basket ball team of Baker University defeated the ladies' team of Ottawa University at Baldwin Monday afternoon by the score of 19 to 17. The game was fiercely contested and even throughout. Considerable dissatisfaction arose over decisions and L. C Smith, an Ottawa man, who officiated was egged after the game by four Baker students. Two of the ladies of the Ottawa team Were struck by eggs. There is a very bitter feeling among students here tonight over the affair and there is talk of severing all athletics relations with Baker University.

FOUR THOUSAND RUSSIAN STUDENTS STRIKE.
When The University of St. Petersburg, in accordance with the unanimous decision of faculty students, and directors, joined in the great strike inaugurated by similar institutions in Russia, and closed its doors until fall, its action meant to outsiders merely an interesting episode in the struggle, to Russia nerself it meant that a very important part of the Russian people had taken they stand against the policy of the government.
St. Petersburg is the intellectual centre of Russia. Though the University of St. Petersburg has a slightly smaller enrollment than the University of Moscow, in point of energy and progress the University of St. Petersburg is the leading University in Russia. The University of Moscow was founded 1755, the University of St. Petersburg was not recognized as a University until 1819, yet the latter institution has grown so rapidly that its enrollment is only six hundred less than that of the older institution and its present rate of increase is twelve per cent, whereas that of the University of Moscow is not quite five per cent.
It is interesting to notice that of the four departments of the University, Histology and Philosophy, Physical Science and Mathematics, Law and Oriental Languages, the department of Law has by far the largest enrollment. In fact, more than half the students in the University are enrolled in this department. This would seem to show that the younger generation in Russia are preparing themselves to take an active part in the making and interpretation of the laws of the country.
The fact that the enrollment of the University is almost four thousand means that almost tour thousand nomes will be aroused by the return of earnest young people who have had the courage to declare themselves for freedom of speech, conscience, and the press and the convocation of a national assembly, and to the strains of the Russian Marsellaise march out of the imperial University.
The fact that the faculty of the University, almost three hundred of the most progressive men in Russia, has acted in co-operation with the student body means that the common people of Russia are to have the aid and direction of the most intelligent thinkers in the empire in their struggle for liberty.

If more students would mix a little time and prudence in their meals there would be less complaining of being about "all in." One of the worst habits, and one commonly indulged in by students, is to eat at night. Members of the medical faculty here have attributed more sickness this year to that one cause than and other two.
LIONS MOUTH COLUMN.
Spring fever is the result of nice weather, buggy rides are the result of Spring fever with a proper combination of something, we are not saying what, the consummation of dad's check's is the result of buggy rides, negligence in the pursuit of study results from the undue use of dad's checks and the ultimate result is that some one goes home on short notice and usually alone. Now the question was asked—Do buggy rides and Spring fevers pay?
"Spooning and higher education wont mix," so says President Jordan of Leland Stanford. Isn't it possible that he "reckoned with insufficient data," as John J. Ingalis would say?
President Jordan, of Leland Stanford University, California, issued a degree last week that no co-editor of that institution would be allowed on the campus in company with young men after dark. In the same proclamation he also made some stringent rules about how many times a week the co editor could entertain company.
Why don't some of the professors ventilate their rooms? It is hard enough to listen to some lecturers under comfortable surroundings, but when the temperature is 85!
In former years, almost every clear Saturday morning in the fall and spring saw the members of the country club going out into the country for a long walk, to Blue Mound, Lake View or some near point of interest; and not until evening would they return, with minds and bodies invigorated for the next week's work. The present generation of students know too little about the pleasure and benefit to be gained from a better acquaintance with the country. Whether it be considered as a field for botanical or zoological study, as the theatre of action of the most interesting events in the early history of Kansas, or simply as a succession of beautiful scenes, the country around Lawrence is unsurpassed in the state. We do not believe, with a certain professor on the hill, that the average student has no appreciation of the beauty of his natural surroundings; but that appreciation needs cultivation as much as the student's muscles need exercise. Participation in regular athletics is impossible for many. For their benefit physically, mentally and aesthetically, why not revive the Country Club?

It is possible to find in every community men and women who imagine themselves privileged characters merely because they have money. These people are not in all cases offensive, but some of them are. The uncultured woman who snddenly becomes rich, is generally a distinctive type, no matter where she may live. It is a well established fact that this established class has an innate desire to break into the most sacred precints of fashionable society regardless of the lack of breeding and education. To mingle with the exclusive 400 seems to be the goal of their ambition, and truth to tell not a few gain the much sought for prize for no other reason than that they have an unlimited bank account. The illiterate rich are nearly always offensive, but now and then one is found who is not. In M1s. 'DeLaney, of Newport' the faecial musical comedy, which Nelville B. Raymond will place on view Thursday evening, March 2, in the Bowersock opera house is a character of a woman ignorant and uncouth, who has recently acquired a large fortune,
