Occasionally one meets a man with
a mind like an overstocked curtositv
shop, a mind cluttered with counties.

lit by the sunligrM of rich human
sympathies and common sense that
iife-contacts yield. Such a man can
perhaps tell you Alabama's cotton
production for 1897, or maybe tho
middle name of Buchanan's minister
to Denmark, although if he Is that
Rood he la doubtless in vaudeville.
More likely his feats are less spec
tacular, and he is a laundry driver or
a clerk.
He will never succeed, except pos
sibly at vaudeville, because he lacks
intelligence to distinguish between
facts, and between facta and princi
ples. On a lesser scale, he has proto
types at Washington.
Hooks are fitter custodians of most
facts than the mind. Many touchstone
facts must be learned, truly, but
time and retentative power conspire
to limit the number of facts the aver
age person can make his own. Most
facts should be left to rest on library
shelves, there subject to resort, not
lugged about.

are leaves, are far fewer, aud worth-

days of our ancient ancestors stui
are most applicable and Nebraska
thus greets it's nc-w football captain
Chick Hartley.
The captaincy of the football team,
is perhaps, the greatest honor that
can come to a Xebraskan, and with
It goes large responsibilities and a
great deal of worry and work. The
men who are to fight for Nebraska
next year have picked their leader
because they think he is the man they
can follow best, because of his splen
did playing, because of his personali
ty, and because of his ability to keep i
bla head and act in the best possible
way during any emergency. Upon him,
to a great extent, rests the success of
a sport that is of greatest importance
to the student body at large.
This year Nebraska's team picked
a man that comes very near to what
the Ideal football leader ought to be
a hard fighter, a clean player, one
who puts everything he has Into the
gamo, and will risk anything to break
up a pass, stop interference, or tackle
a man.
The school is glad to have such a
splendid leader as Hartley in charge
of the team and wishes him every
success in the world.

WITHOUT HONOR.
Several weeks ago a Nebraska man
Invited one of his fair friends to at
tend a dance scheduled to occur three
weeks later. She, of course, was "de
lighted" to accept the invitation, for
it was a good one.
Two week rolled by and the two
had a little talk about the costumes
to be worn, for it was to be a dress
affair. In a couple of days, that is,
just two or three before the party
was to be held, the lady telephoned
the man that she would be "unable
to attend," because she had to leave
Lincon to visit her family.
Mixed dates, postponed dates, or
plain desertions, have occurred in the
University history of nearly every
Individual at Nebraska, and if they
haven't, they probabiy will. Some
times it really is a genuine case of
illness or there i.; a good reason
why two invitaiions were accepted
for one night, but usually there is a
selfish motive back of every unfilled
promise of this kind.
Really it is a case of lack of honor
for a man or woman to cause a dis
appointment of this kind. Probably
the biggest thing any University stud
ent possesses is his honor, and it is
a thing to chrish. The social butter
fly that thinks so little of a promise
as to break it for a little nicer party,
or a more entertaining man or wo
man, lacks honor.
Dishonsty is repulsive, and doubly
so when it causes a hurt that will
take a long time to heal. Is there any
Justice for a person to break a les3
attractice entertainment for a more
enjoyable one, yet make another per
son who for weeks has been looking
forward to the evening with joy, go
entirely without it?
Will a true "blue" individual do a
thing of this kind? In the University
of Nebraska you will find that those
that are doing their best to make Ne
braska the finest state institution in
the United States, to those who ara
seriously seeking the splendid educa
tion that our institution affords ser
ious workers, that these people are
the ones that once their word is giv
en, you can count on it no matter
what its fulfillment costs.
Trade Review of The Week.
Trade showed a marked improve
ment last week. Loans on the in
crease, (probably early Christmas
hocking.) Concerning manufacturing,
stocks we venture the conservative
reports; automobile sales accelerat
ed; airplanes up; and the elevator
men had their little ups and downs.
Corn was down and Niagara was still
falling. After some bulling, Lindell
Gymnasium, Wednesday issue pref
fered, fell from above par to 75 cents.
Commission men reported that apples
and raisons were holding their own,
while onions were stronger. Iron se
curities fell off with the announce
ment that Ireland was junking her
navy. Rubber trade was snappy but
elastic and Fisk retiring at the close
of the day.
