"How nro you getting along with
your work?" asked a student of an ac
quaintance In the postofficc. "Well,
you Bee," was the reply, "it all de
pends. Sometimes I work pretty hard
and get my lessons pretty well and
other times I don't. However. I think
I have a good chance of getting
through, provided of course no unfore
seen contingencies arise. I don't have
much trouble with my Dutch or his
tory, though mathematics Is somewhat
of a Rtumhline block Rut I think mi
the whole " Tho interviewer had
heard nough, however, and had turned
away in plain disgust. The other
silled, and yelled after him: "Well,
you wanted to know how I was getting
along with my work, and so I thought
1 would tell you."
The sophomore had fallen Into the
hands of the freshmen, and was mak
ing desperate efforts to escape. But
IiIf struggles were In vain, as his as
sailants were too numerous for Ujjri.'
I.Ike most people when they are 06r
ih red and have no means of escape, he
tried to run a bluff.
"Hold on there!" he snapped, as he
braced himself firmly.
"We are holding on tho best we can,"
replied the freshman leader, as he
tightened his grip on the prisoner's
arm.
"A man cannot serve two masters,"
quoted an angry mathematician, as he
slammed the cover of his "Analytics."
Upon the Inquiry of a curious bystand
er, he explained himself. "Here's the
way of It," he said. "A lot of us fel
lows registered for a course In analy
tics, with neither the Intention nor the
desire of taking any other mathematics
this semester. But against the wishes
of the Instructor and of the class, a
side course of calculus has been run In
as a" substitute for two hours of analy
tics a week. No gne understands or
cares for the stuff, and all wish the old
order of things restored. If we had
ever cared for a course in calculus, we
could easily have restrained our rest
less spirits and taken It up when we
reached the proper place In the course.
While admitting our fallings In not be
ing able to understand the stuff, we do
not lay claim to being lunatics or fools,
which by a rational and scientific de
duction we have been proven to be.
One problem that was run In on us
was beyond the comprehension of our
Instructor, who also expressed his dis
approval of this system of doing things.
It is simply discouraging to put time
In this way, trying to understand
things for which preliminary study and
preparation are necessary. In this kind
of a tangle there is no incentive to
study, and most of us feel more like
quitting the class than trying to put
It lb rough." Just how much founda
tion this man had for his complaint
we do not know, but It was sufficiently
plain that his mood stood not In need
of Increased acerbity.
"I can't get any time to study these
days," remarked a Junior. "Now take
yesterday, for Instance. There was a
frat game, a class game, and a down
town game, all of which I wanted to
see. Then there were two committee
meetings I had to attend, and an hour's
practice for Thursday's meet. I
Bklpped three classes and flunked In a
fourth. If I keep It up, I can't gradu
ate next year; and yet I don't see any
thing I can conveniently cut out. This
outside work Is getting too extensive.
Some of It will have to go by the board,
or we might as well quit even pre
tending to be here for the sake of our
studies."
While most of the professors In the
University wish to be In harmony with
the members of their classes, there are
few who do not object to overfamlllar
lly on the part of those possessed with
an undue amount of self-esteem. So It
tometlmes happens that they are
Obliged to deal summarily with those
who eeek to Impose on them. An In
cident is related of a former member
of tee faculty who was annoyed by the
familiarity of one obstreperous student,
who came Into his office and sat down
on tho coiner of hla desk to converse
with him. Not wishing to be stinting
of his hospitality, the professor lrame-

JAMES K. HACKETT
PRODUCES WINSTON CHURCHILL'S
"The Crisis"
A New Play Especially Prepared for the Stage, from
the Celebrated Novel by the Author Himself.
MR. HACKETT AND HIS ORIGINAL SUPPORTING
COMPANY, AND ELABORATE SCENERY,
WILL APPEAR.
The production of Winston Churchill's play, "Tho
Crisis," which James K. Hackett presented to tho
public this season, and In which he plays tho charac
ter of Stephen Brlce, Is said to be the most completed
and satisfactory realization of a popular book upon
the stage that has been seen since the appearance of
"The Prisoner of Zenda," years ago, In which, by tho
way, Mr. Hackett, also appeared, that being his first
starring venture. In this case, It Is said, so closoly
does the play follow Mr. Churchill's widely-known
novel of Civil War times, that no one who has read
the book can feel one moment of disappointment, and
those who have not read It will witness a well-rounded
and Interesting play. All tho lovable characters of
the story and those closely associated with them are
In the play, and given the same relative value.
Price ftOo, VI. OO, $1.50, and $2.00
dlntel got up and offered the young
man his chair. But contrary to all es
tablished rules and precedents, the
young man instead of at once tumbling
Into a st.ite of mental catalepsy, ac
cepted the seal and cheerfully resumed
his discourse. The professor, taken
aback b the shock, stood helplessly by
with a Hank expression on his face, as
if trying to figure oit whether he had
been voisted or not.
The proceedings of tne Nebraska
Ornithologists' union at Its third an
nual meeting have just been published
