WEDNESDA,Y DECEMBER 18
One kind word in time is worth a thousand after death.—From the Chinese.
in needing $1,917,023.17 the University has nothing on the students.
When a University professor casually remarks that he has just had his "map shet" at Con. Squires", we like to protest.
You're going to have a good time Christmas vacation so it seems hardly necessary that the Daily Kansan should extend to you its holiday greeting but for fear that our readers may think we negligent we want to be put on record. Here it is:
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Get away from the roast pork and beef idea as much as possible. Sleep as much as you want to. Don't worry over the morrow "for today we may die." Smile a lot, for quiz week comes in February. Be happy and give the chunks of your brain a rest. Be sure and bring back with you all Christmas neckwear, etc.
When you leave Friday remember the Daily Kansan extends to you all the compliments of the holiday vacation.
"We are pleased to remark," say the professors, "that the high efficiency of class-room work is keeping up to the very last."
"Just charge this until after the holidays." Where have we said that before?
According to boarding house geometry a pie may be produced any number of times. We contend that the truth of the theorem depends upon the shape of the pie when it makes its debut.
LET'S BE SANE
And then, Christmas is such a poor time to give, anyway. The ideal Yuletide spirit bids you think only of yourself. So, whatever your plans have been, change them. Let us follow this great man in his great movement. The poor, we always have with us. If our friends are real, they'll stick to us no matter what
A certain wise man reasoneth thusly; much money is spent Christmas. A man gives most of his presents because he has to, not from the joy of giving. Wherefore, let us have a sane Christmas, and give presents only to children, who really enjoy them. Great man! Great thought! Take home a tinnel camel for little Bobby, and a rag doll for little Mary. Then deliberately shut out the spirit of Christmas. Think of a few of your friends, maybe, but don't send them any little Christmas remembrance or token of your esteem. What's the use? What's the use of society in general, anyway? We can get along without the joy that generally goes with sending gifts. The Bible especially emphaizes the need of not giving.
we do. And we can't get away from our relatives. So, what more appropriate motto could we have at this season of the year than that used by the miller on the Dee, "I care for nobody, no not I, and nobody cares for me."
The hygiene class has been told that it is beneficial to eat apples, Ah, Mother Eve, what can we be sure of nowadays?
Here's hoping that the University may have a merry appropriation and a happy Mill tax.
A correction; faculty, please notice.
Quiz week is in February, not now.

A CHILD'S LAUGHTER
All the bells of heaven may ring,
All the walls of heaven may sing.
All the wells of earth may bring
All the winds on earth may bring
The Daily Kanam will publish in
her two rite verses, yrs. 18 and 20.
Contribute your comment.
All sweet sounds together;
Sweeter far than all things heard,
Hand of harper, tone of bird
Walton's wrench, stirred, stirred,
Wallton's wrench's winnisword.
Wind in warm wan weather.
One thing yet there is, that none Hearing are its chime be done Heard of man beneath the sun. Heard of man beneath the sun.
—Swinburne.
Hoped in heaven hereafter;
Soft and strong and loud and light,
Heard from morning's rostest height
When the soul of all delight
Fills a child's clear laughter.
Girl, this welcome at
Never forth can be nor told
Hours so bylte in tones so bold,
As the radiant mouth of gold
Here that rings for heaven.
If were a nightingale—why,
A were a nightingale—why,
Something seen and heard of men
Might be half as sweet as when
BEST GAME OF ALL
Laughs a child of seven.
—Swinburne.
The Fan-You can talk about base-
ball, football and basketball, but the
managers are the ones to watch.
Despite its other transgressions, the Daily Kansan still boasts a clean record in the matter of mistletoe jokes.
What has become of the old fashioned, home-made Christmas presents that were so much in vogue a few years ago.
Shave—Well, go ahead. I don't know anyone who can do it worse than you. Cornell Widow.
Barber—You need a hair cut badly, sir.
"There seems to be more feeling in this composition."
"Yes, I've just learned the touch system."—Cormell Widow.
Recent articles in this column concerning the granting of Monday, Jan. 6, 1913, as an additional day of vacation, have no doubt found many sympathizers who have not made themselves known. The last Sunday at home means considerable to those of us who on account of no Sunday trains on the branches, did not feel justified in leaving during the holiday, giving vacation. Let us have the day, even at the sacrifice of Washington's birthday or our customary first of May vacation. In the short time left let us hear from more of the branch-line fraternity.
