Old Music Box
Figures in Life
Former Co-Ed
A real romance Is recalled by a
Swiss music-box now In the posses
sion of the Nebraska State Histori
cal society. The box Is of Swiss
production and was bought by D.
15. Thompson of Lincoln a number
of years ago and given to his sister
15va. .
Miss Eva Thompson was a co-ed
at the University and was promi-,
nent in Lincoln. She became inter
ested In ono of the students who
was working his way through col
lege. Her brother's gift, the music
box from Switzerland, furnished
many evenings of delight before
the student left Lincoln.
Several years later Miss Thomp
son gave the music-box to the State
Historical society. Two months
afterward news came that Miss Eva
Thompson had married "the mil
lionaire tramp" of Denver. The
"tramp" was Miss Thompson's
friend of university days. He had
made a fortune and become a
knight of the road by choice.
The instrument in tb headquar

Mention of Day
Brings Memory
UT timanapaior
This article will serve as a re
minder to those who may have for
gotten, that this is the one hundred
and twentieth anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln.
For those who may be a little
rusty in their history it may be re
peated that Mr. Lincoln was at one
time president of the United States,,
and It was during his term of of
fice that the Civil war took place,
and the country was freed of slav
ery. Also for the less observant
It may not be amiss to state that
tho city of Lincoln was named after
Mr. Lincoln.
Mr. Lincoln has played such an
Important part in the destiny of our
country, and of the world, that it
seems fitting for us all to stop a
minute in our thoughts and activi
ties, and pay respect to his mem
ory. He was a man who probably was
never really understood by anyone
(not even his wife), unless it was
one Joshua Speed, whom he met a
a young man, and with whom he
formed a life-long friendship. Ho
was bitterly criticized and laughed
at by his enemies, and at times
doubted by his friends, but he held
faithfully to ideals which have
brought him to be recognized as
one of the world's greatest men.
Much Idealism has grown up
about the man, which probably is
nothing more nor less than "bunk,"
If we may use such an expression,
but regardless of this there is much
about the human side of the man
from which, if we would take him
as an example in fashioning our
own lives, we could all profit.

or their fifth seasonal production,
"He iiud She." to a well filled
house at the Temple theater latit
night. MIkh Cornelia Ayers and
Herbert Yenne co-starred lu the
production.
Thu theme of the play centers
around woman's riglils. Rachel

played the feminine lead when it
was produced on the New York
stage in 1921. It Is strictly a mod

Although the east consisted of
only eight characters , they were
well chosen for their parts and
gave a splendid interpretation ot
this interesting drama.

Values einbodlt-il In our Fair,"
stated Robin Spence, manager of
tho 1929 Farmers Fair, upon re
turning from his recent trip to
Columbia, Missouri.
Spence met with members of
fair boards from botli the Missouri

Ideas as to tho manner In which
the fairs are conducted in the var

first attempt towards holding a na
tional meeting of Farmers Fair
boards and will be continued next
year. "We hope that nioro colleges
will be represented at tho national
meeting In Manhattan, Kansas,
next year," said Spence. "I feel
sure that members of all institu
tions can put on better fairs after
attending such meetings."
One of the big differences be
tween tho Nebraska and Missouri
