Hungry College Stude Battles His Way to Wonderful Cruller Paradise to Appease Appetite
Promptly at filling time next evening I put in my appearance at the station abutting Snow Hall, and was at once greeted by the culinary comsoir. We proceed straightway, without formality of words, to make our piligramage around the nickel-plated rail. First we stopped at the soup depot and read tomato bisque. I cooked at my all-knowing guide; he snorted in disgust, and then plunged hotly into discourse. "Tomato bisque, nonsense. Open a volume of Webster, page 392, and you will find the word bisque defined as a 'thick, rich, soap, made of crawfish, or other shell-fish, or flesh of birds or rabbits. Do you find any crawfish, oysters, or rabbit meat in conjecture? Orly, perchance after a Sunday dinner serving when the chef throws it to the fire, throng. I tell you it's a rank swainle. The proper name of that soup is cream of tomato—cr, at the most, mock tomato bisque."
I cautiously investigated the pinkish depth of my bowl, to see if by any chance in stray craa...add or lonely oysters lurked there. But the cnoolserue was right. There were in stark contrast life in the mack creaion creation.
We moved rapidly along, passing the candied potatoes, butter-clipper, prune whites and chocolate in mange on one way to the doset counter, connection between the confectioner to any informer, but he cut me short with a cryticx;
"No, it's not a politely named skin
affiliation of the cocon plant—just
plain boiled custard mixed with choc
olate."
Then we halted.
"Here we are--apple cider and crullers," interjected my guide. "Humph, they've got the right name, for there are holes in them. No you're wrong. They're not doughnuts. Follow once asked me: 'what's the difference between a doughnut with a bole and a doughnut without one' and I openess my mouth just like you. The differ once asked me: 'What's the difference
BRYAN PRIZE TO BE LARGER

Interest on Fund Makes First Prize $60
The Bryan Prize Essay competition offers an additional prize this year, provided for this occasion only by a friend of the University who requests that his name shall not be given. The usual prize is also larger than before.
"I'm glad these are cruilters, then," I ventured feebly as we patronized the water-tank, and then settled ourselves at a table.
"Yes, it certainly sounds ridiculous," I ventured cautiously.

nut with a hole isn't one, while the doughmouth without a hole is the only and original. A nut of dough, see—solid, one piece, no water surrounded by land kind. I finally grasped his explanation. And you see now, that these round things with the holes they're crullers. One thing about crullers, aside from the fact they're made from sweet cake dough, and are much richer than the ordinary doughth, which is compounded of plain raised dough.
My companion did not speak again until we were finishing our meal with the elder and crullers. "I once heard an old Dutchman say," he then remarked whimsically "the three main kinds of cheese i.e. cheddar, swiss and ham" had a distinct family classification all their own. The cottage variety, said he, was the kind every new wife started out with—so干脆, so exceedingly proper, and such a mark of good taste. A few years of family life, however, gave the practical joys of plain, wholesome Swiss cheese, the kind every grover unders at a glass case. And then finally, in the chrystallizing surinness of old age, they took to lumberger, good, strong limburber. I laughed at the Dutchmen at the time, and he took a fetted thing. It was heard."
The subject is: "Merits and Demerits of the British Form of Government as Compared with the National Government of the United States." Essays are to be from 1800-1830, accompanied by an outline and bibliography. They must be typewritten, signed by an assumed name, and handed in to the Chancellor on the first of May, together with a sealed envelope containing the real name of the author. The Committee reserves its final opinion of the judges, if in the opinion of the judges, the essays are not credible.
We left the station, and pausing a moment, made arrangements to meet again in a week.
The first prize is set at sixy- dolar. This prize will be given in case any meritorious essay is turned in. The second special prize of twenty- dollar bills will be awarded if five meritorious essays are received.
Competitors who wish advice may consult with any member of the committee, which is composed of Professors Chubb, Fussett, and Hol
The Bryan Prize was founded March 22, 1898, by a gift of $250 from the Hon. W. J. Bryan, intended to provide a pride "for the best essay discussing the principles which underlie our form of government." The prize is now awarded for the university, and the prize has been won twice by freshmen.
"Right on are," echeod the culinary connoisseur, "but let's get out of here. Getting late. See you next week—not before. Heard the cook say tonight I wanted to see him. So we set for the next five days and you'll not find me sticking around."

W. S. G. A. Book Exchange Needs Still More Book
That night, in bed, I dreamed of lumberbrace, and waking suddenly mourned the fact that I had eaten six fine genuine doughnuts in my day.
"The Book Exchange is glad to handle any second hand books for anyone on the Hill," said Orpha Harding this morning. "You simply mark the book with the price you would like to realize on it, or we would like to send it, so we ask for the handling of it, and we do the rest. In other words, we do our best."
in other words, we do our best
to sell your book for you."
The Book Exchange was open at last week, and the check stand in Fraor, and will be open all this week.

Stones In Museum Used By Primitives
Down in Rhodesia, South Africa, a few weeks ago the skull of an ancient apeman was unearthed and is now on display at the British Museum where it was found. It is a reconstruction among men of science. Stone implements from Rhodesia that were probably used by this primitive man of some of his fellows have been in Dichg. Museum for years and can be found in the north corner of the third floor.
The stones were collected years ago by one of the Set-Carn expeditiones to South Africa. They are of various sizes, and shapes, but all are crudely chipped, unpolished and with no protrusion; the attachment of handles of any kind.
"These identical stones may possibly have been used by the Rhodesian man or some of his followers," said Curator H. T. Martin of the department of paleontology this morning. "The Rhodesian man is in no sense the 'missing link'. He is a member of one of a multitude of extinct races yet to be unearthened, who completed their mental development before undertoo-
