THE WISEACRE.
When you have chosen the proper way,
And the proper thing to do.
There's sure to be some fool to say:
"I wouldn't if I were you."
—N. Y. Racket.
TO KEATS.
When young Keests dy iny dying in Rome he asked his friend Severn that the only epitaph on his tomb might be: "Here lies one whose name was writ in water."
Great Keets, thou sleepest well in Caesar's ancient city:
Yet must his heart be moved to pity
Who stands beside thy tomb,
That thus thy fire-winged spirit
Passed away in gloom—
In agony of failure and in bitter pain,
Crying, "Writ in water, only, is my name!"
Knownest thou that now, though alt too late
For thine own moulal hearing, men do call thee great!
The present for the past would yet atone;
And not on tablets of enduring brass and polished stone.
Pressed deep by graver's chisel, is thy name alone,
But in the hearts of men-O greatest, dearest fame—
Is writ in characters of gold, -thy name!
—The Pulse.
EXCHANGE NOTES.
The Washburn Reporter has enlarged its pages. We are glad to see this improvement in our enterprising neighbor. We have often wondered why the Reporter was not made a larger paper before. We wish the best success to it in its new departure.
One gratifying feature of the new catalogue is the announcement that in the future the English or first preparatory year will be abandoned. We have always been of opinion that in the attempt to combine the functions of a college with those of a kindergarten our beloved institution was trying to cover too many eggs, and the discontinuance of the English course has been a consummation devoutly to be wished.—Washburn Reporter.
The selection of Prof. Snow to be Chancellor of the Kansas State University, if it is made, will be an admirable one. If the Regents feel that the sentiment in favor of a Kansas man at the head of the University is so strong that it must be heeded, they can find no man in Kansas whose appointment will be apt to give such general satisfaction, and it is doubtful if a more suitable selection could be made by going beyond the Kansas borders.

Life in a modern college has incidents, work and recreation never dreamed of by the institutions of a century ago. The average age of a college graduate was then eighteen years, now it is from twenty-one to twenty-three. The best assignable cause is this: a boy of from fourteen to eighteen years can not do the work required of the modern youth. Colleges have ceased to be intellectual hot-houses and have become, for better or worse, a miniature life. The politics, the athletics and the curriculum aim to turn out mien and women with a practical knowledge of the world, of humanity and of books.—The Pulse.

To discuss the live issues of the day should be the aim of each literary society. We have sufficient to live in the present and from just and unbiased opinion and conclusions on the great questions of today without reviewing the things of the past that have been settled long ago. What good can be derived from old rehash of the same subject for centuries. The human race will advance, and in the great struggle bring up the questions and difficulties of the time for solution. These must be settled and settled aright before the best conclusions are reached. We ought to get awaken-to this fact and be ready to discuss these questions as they come to us. Baker Beacon.
Speaking of encores reminds us of the senseless custom, which prevails in country school 'lyceums' and in many western literary societies, of applauding every performer. Bestowed in this indiscriminate manner applause becomes valueless. Performers learn not to care for it, and the rowdy element which is present in almest every gathering of any size, soon begins to vary the monotony by the interpolation of the 'rhythmic clap.' stamping of feet, cat calls, and other sounds characteristic of the animal in question. Unless a performance possesses positive merit, it should not receive applause. The mere 'effort to please' is not enough to entitle one to the same token of appreciation which is given to another who by close application has produced what is really meritorious. sometime an entire evening may well be allowed to pass with no applause at all, simply because all have done fairly well. On another occasion one, two or more speakers may have made better preparation and hence may give superior performances. Only such deserve this recognition. Country school methods should have no place in college litary societies. —College Life.

FREDRICK WARD.
In "The Mountebank" the actor has opportunities to exercise versatility of talent. His powers are seen at their best in the pathetic and emotional and the ability to portray the passions in all their intensity is Mr. Warde's crowning glory. It is true that he is "as far above the rant of the ordinary tragedian as the snow-capped mountains are above the clouds" which fail to scale them. His acting in the scene where feelings of the husband and father are wrought to their utmost tension was worthy of any man who was ever upon the stage. The depth of pathos, the extremity of grief, the smothered agony that seems, rather than is uttered, at times, made a picture that brought tears to eyes unused to weep and proved the actor not only an artist a genius.
In the rapid changes "The Mountebank" calls for on the part of the leading character, Mr. Ward maintained himself admirably. His voice is full deep and well controlled, and his manner unexceptionable, while a profound appreciation of the author's most deep and subtle meaning adds unusual and graceful attractiveness to his rendition of his part. His sudden change from suffering to assumed lightness of bearing und of heart was a masterpiece of acting and over all he gracefully threw an unrent vail of classic beauty.
In the medley of characters the piece embraces the other ladies and gentlemen of the company, well met the expectations and hopes of the audience, and the ladies particularly bore themselves well. The company is worthy of the leading gentleman, and last nights performance has heightened the desire of the play loving portion of this community, to witness the rendition of the great play of "Virginius" tonight. —Pueblo Colo.
