For years, this publication has been deprived of the services of such a friendly animaL . But shortly after midnight last Thursday, when the news editor was covering up the I typewriters and preparing to leave down the steps came ine cat He is a thin, grsy creature that still has the look of a lost kitten but he has a home now. He came an and rubbed up against the editor's leg and purred affectionately. Then, he spotted the copy table. Now the copy table is obviously the proper resting place for the cat in a well-regulated newspaper office. So this volunteer worker epraug lightly to it and took his place in the center of a pile of exchanges. The night man switched out the lights, but si he gropd for the door, two friendly eyes bermed out at him. THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA.

He is a rather timid animal and is not seen -very often during the busy hours of the day. But, anyhow, his work can best be done in the dark. The tradition of a newspaper of fice cat is older than a good many newspapers. It originated when Charles A. Dana was editor of the old New York Sun often called the newspaper man's newspaper ana was the invention of Judge Willard Bartlett. One warm night in the eighties, the flimsy telegraph copy of a presi dential message fluttered out ol ui window and was lost in Nassau Street The Sun had nothing about it the next morning, and in the after noon when Judge Bartlett called on Mr. Dana, the matter of the lost re -age was under discussion. The edi tor remarked that it was difficult to explain to the readers. "Oh, say that the office cat ate it," suggested Bartlett. A paragraph appealed the next day, creating the cat, and the animal immediately became popular as a polyphage in thousands of news paper of f iees.

"It is just such things as this bar becue, the Olympics, and the wearing of green caps that organize your class," he declared. Berge also urged the freshmen to back the football team. "Nebraska never concedes a game until the game is over," he said. He also em phasized the matter of treating the Illinois team with the utmost of courtesy.
