A- Experience Experience is a valuable asset to have to one's credit, but the processes of obtaining It are not always the most delightful. Oftentimes the cost ex ceeds the benefit. The most unpleasant situations are to a greater or less de gree productive of experience, which however, is generally of a kind not to be relished and which, no matter how much mental or physical suffering is caused, does not yield the greatest profit. Ten, thousand volts of admoni tion shot from the eyes of an outraged beauty at the object of depravity who has waltzed her into a collision with other performers on a waxed floor, may bo remembered, but they are certainly productive of a small amount of com fort and the chances are that the acci dent will bo repeated. Parents frequently Instruct their children to study and profit by the ex periences of others, losing sight of the fact that each person has his own in dividuality and capabilities. For in BtanceB they toll them how President Roosevelt rose to fame by exercising certain qualities of character, but they forget that everyone is not able to subdue the homocidal passions of th broncho, or have the opportunity to charge at Santiago. The broncho might have thrown another man so hard that he would have considered it a good les son as taught by experience never again to venture within a mile of such a murderous brute. Just so, at Santi ago, another leader, while turning to cneer his men, might have stopped a bullet with his back a most mislead ing and defaming piece of circumstan tial evidence. The guileless countryman goes to town and meets the affable rake who travels under the sobriquet of confi dence man, finds himself done hand somely, and then goes homo to tell Ills friends that although he has lost his money, ho has gained a sweepstake prize of experience. Because he has fallen victim to one man's inhumani ty ho considers himself wise and able to evade all like snares and 'pitfalls In 'the future. But let s6mo equally polished specialist present some propo sition of an entirely different nature, and his second fall from grace would probably be as disastrous as the first. All this goes to show that experience la similar only in its generalities. A newspaper account tells how a man got -his upward start in life by wheeling more scrap iron in a day than his fellows. After detailing the vari- wwviVWrtvywwwwuwvrt Boxes for Rent I u In our fire and burg lar proof vaults for the safe keeping of money, notes and val uable papers 75 cents oavs for three months larger j . Li '. Sizes in proporuun. ous stops by which ho roao to the head of the great steel trust, It concludes with this paragraph: "ThlB man wheeled- more iron in a day tnan hiB follows." Truly that wbb tho secret of his suc cess. His industry and faithfulness brought him to tho notice of tho keen sighted officials above him, who with their great knowledgo of human nature detected In him potential abilities of rare raerR. Had ho not been consci entious in his work and sought merely to have tho biggest pile of iron for ap pearance's sake, he would probably be still leading a humble life. His heart was with his work. He might have had a bigger pile, by subtracting from tho accumulations of his fellow-workmen, and adding tho difference to his own, but it is quite certain that he didn't. His Industry waa beyond doubt prompt ed by a desire for advancement, and when It came, tho same foresight and business ncumuen helped him farther up the scale until ho stood at the top. And yet men equally as enterprising have been forced to content themselves with a humbler lot in life, simply be cause they lack the judgment both In choosing their field of labor and in con ducting their work. A man may tarry in the parlors of his club and fortify himself with alco holic boverages, and then venture homo to have his lines of defense crumbled before the irrslstlble onslaught of his wife. Though the experlenco may bo a painful one, he does not mend his habits In spite of tho fate that he knows to await him when under the sable cloak of night he wanders homo to exposure and misery. The man who intrudes upon the property of others for the purposo of enriching himself without giving value received or In plain language tho man who works while others sleep or in good plain English, tho burglar enjoys his con finement in the penitentiary and Is generally ready to return to his old ways despite tho lesson experience has taught him. Hence the teachings of experience are as a rule valuable, but as man Is prone to err ho does not always tnke the lesson unto hlmself. If he meets mis fortune he thinkB that he may bo more successful ,next time. In this way he lays himself liable to downfalls, and only realizes the true value of experi ence when it is too late to profit by it. Profits Will Go into Treasury. .C)J Lincoln Safe Deposit & Trust Company. 120 North Eleventh St., Lincoln, J Following tho precedent established last semester the Freshman class will require the committee having In charge the coming '07 party to account for all lunds expended and to return the bal ance remaining over and above ex penses to the class treasury, thereby putting themselves again on record as against tho graft system. As demon strated by tho Freshman Hop this non graft method Is successful In every way. Money was expended in pleasing those attending In a manner which never would have been the case had one or two individuals been In charge.
