Dear Old Jack:
Well, -Grimes." I would certainly
like to be with you this fall to help
bring home the bacon for the old
school again. 1 suppose that right
now you are in the heart of the com
ing season getting the boys in fine
shape for a successful year. And
here in France whenever my thoughts
are of the U. of N. they ramble down
into the gym. There alts "Crimes"

1 suppose a good many of the boys
have gone into the service and that
there will be very few old men back,
that is an expected thing during these
t lines, but the old Nebraska spirit will
put football across anyhow.
Doctor Stewart. I hear, went tnrougn
Paris but I was unable to see him,
being on duty in the trenches.
Wo came through England on our
way over and If I had been given
leave, I would have got you a "bit

and now I do not wonder how such
men as Jack Best came from these

I have been over the top once and
would have got that boche I promised
you but I would have had to hate on
my track suit and be a marathon
runner In the best condition. It was
like chasing Jack rabbits.
Give my regards to all the boys and
tell them I'm. with them In spirit and

know they will
"Tear 'em Up" Dusty Rhodes.
His father has sent the following
letter to Jack Best:
Ansley. Nebr., Not. 29, 1918.
Mr. Jack Beat,
Lincoln, Nebraska.
Dear Sir:
lou will pardon me In writing to
you as it has never been my privilege
to form your acquaintance, although t
somehow feel very well acquainted
with you from the .many good things
my boy. Roscoe B. Rhodes, related of
you. Roscoe had great affection for
you for the many kind things you did
for him out of the magnanimity of
your heart.
You are doubtless acquainted with
the fact that Roscoe was killed on the
battle front October 25.
It grieves me to thus inform you,
as his sterling qualities made him dear
to me and mine. In many respects he
was the "apple of my eye," but In
thus losing him from our faa;Uy cir
cle, we feel that In falling to death
at the battle of Sedan, he has won a
glory that a lifetime of business activ
ities would not bestow.
Please accept my kindest regards
and the well wishes of his entire fam
ily for the many favors you have
shown him, I am,
Very truly yours,
R. J. RHODES,
His Father. I
Every once In a while we get a
chuckle out of hearing some million
aire tell a friend that he is short of
ready cash.
You can't have your cake and eat It,
but what most of us want in this life Is
the Joy of having a little cake to eat
now and then.
We don't know much about human
nature, but we've never yet met a man
who did much compromising with the
man he had licked.
We believe in being sympathetic,
but somehow or other we And It hard
to be sorry for the man who deserves
all he gets.
i If the world is really going to be
made fit for decent people to live In
something will have to be done with
i the man who Insists on using the
j street car floor for a cuspidor.

Now and then we slam down the
desk and leave a lot of work that we
ought to do undone. Just for the pure
cussed delight of showing those tasks
we don't have to do them If we don't
want to.
Better ask twice than lose your way
once.
