THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE IRA L. BARE, Publisbor. TERMS, $1.25 W ADVANCE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA COLLEGE MEN WHO FAIL. In every college thero la a class ol novor-do-welis, generally composed of tho sons of tho rich. They go to col lege (or tho life there, to tnko part In Boclnl festivities, etc., nnd they caro very llttlo about Btildy. Collogo is to them merely an cxcubo for persuading their parents to permit them to spend four years In riotous laziness. At Bomo colleges thero aro spoclal cours es, "easy courses," for such pupllB. Tho collcgo la not to bo blamed foi tho Inherent weakness of thoso men, although blamo docs attach to thorn for permitting students to wasto thelf opportunities and their tlmo. The smaller collogcB aro much moro care ful ot tho morals of thoso in attend ance than aro tho groat universities, whero students aro supposed to have reached tho ago of dlscrotion, says tho Charlton News and Courier. Dis cipline in tho universities Is largely a question of surroundings. Professors aro thoro Id tench, not to spend their tlmo in enforcing discipline Tho re sult is bad, not becauso tho older men nro unnblo to govern themselves, but because so many paronts Insist on sending moro boys to universities Whoro they ought to bo sont, is to tha umall collcgo, finishing tholr work, II need bo, nt tho university, when they havo had enough oxperionco to appro clato freedom from rigid control and to know how !a manngo thenisolvos. To send a boy of 18 to a university whoro tho vast majority of thoso in nttondanco aro grown men is to in vito his ruin. It litis long been a favorlto that girls aro smarter than boys, especial ly in school and collcgo. Dr, Taylor, presjtlent of Vassor, explains tho rea son. ! "Women," ho Bays, "go to col lege to learn; men do not. Whllo a good many men do succeed, thero arc many moro who nro interested in eport, and even thoso who do study do not tnko any prldo in lotting tha others know thoy aro working. Girls nro conscientious; thoy nro far mora humlllatod by failure than men." Dr. Taylor admits thero aro physiological reasons why tho girl is smarter than tho man at tho college ago, Bays tha New York American. Dut It is also probable that tho restrictions im posed on girls In tho past havo tended to make them concentrate attention on their studies. Collcgo men havo as many interests as their Inclina tions prefer; It- 1b usually not until after they graduate that they Buttlo down to making a living. Meanwhile thoy can afford to yield the palm to their Bisters "for, superiority in youth ful scholarship. A Cleveland man who has divorced hie wife explained to tho court that ha had to buy gowns costing1 $125 each for the lady, that sho paid from $26 to $75 each for her hats, that her muff eet him back $120 and that she insisted on having a $250 diamond ring, Owing to tho fact that ho need ed a few things to wear hlmaoU, had to pay $40 a month for a flat and koop a maid, not to montton tho nocosBlty of patronlelng tho grocer and butcher, he wag unable to contlnuo the an rangement on a salary ot $1,800 a year.

A quartor of a -century ago Ub price was practically tho some as that ot gold, but ita industrial and sclentlflo use has increased bo as to enhance its value. The riso in tho past six mqnths has been $10 por ounce, In 1000 it was up to $40, and a year later had dropped to $20, whtoh Indicate speculative operations rath er more strongly than tho depreciation of gold.

The chean bakinc powders lmve but ono recommendation: they certainly give ths purchfticr plenty of powder for hia money but it's not nil baking powder; the bulk is mado up of cheap materials that harp no leavening powon These powders aro s6 carelessly made from inferior mate rials that they will not niako light, whole some food. I-urtlicr, thcso cheap baking powddu have a Very small percentage of Jcavcnlnj gas;' therefore it takes from two to thrco times as much of such powder to raise tho cake or biscuit as it does of Calu met Baking Powder. Therefore, in the long run, the actual cost to the consumer of tho cheap powders is more than Calumet would be. Why not buy a perfectly wholesome bak ing powder like Calumet, that is at tho Fame time moderate in nrico and ono which can bo relied upon?
