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-

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.

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. Con
trary to the belief of some few "it It
not impossible, nor even at all difficult
to find good men willing to assume a
responsibility and put in such work nE
is required when there 1b not opportun
ity to put a silver- lining in their
pocketu.

man party Is Mr. Standoven, chairman:
