Tho thomo of his talk was long llfo and good work. Ho spoke of Gladstone's ora tion on tho Armenian troubles as contain Inp two lessons. Tho !( on oratory, nnd tho second on old age. The chancellor Bntd In substance: "Somo think tho newspaper has takon tho place of public spoooh. but III Glad stone Is still found the power nnd beauty of the human voice. In him and In BIs mnrk Is yet to bo seen tho strength of old nge, Tho result of tact and regular ity In life. Tho student should remember the power of oratory as tho source of Rlory." Ho sntd tlint back of the oration must bo tho man, the mossaRo, and tho oe mnn; his themo must bo for a Rood man; his theme must be n for a Rood cause, nnd adapted for the occasion. In universities, ho continued, was tho best place to speak tho truth, for there Rood thouRhts (lnd fertllo soil. The work of young men Is usunlly emphasized to students, but he wished to speak of Ioiir life nnd old nge. Kvery thing should bo dono to preserve the physlcnl, tho Intel lectual, nnd moral sides of our lives. Qunl lty nnd quantity of life should ro topothor. Live lonR and do all the Rood possible, nnd be blessed. HA1HS FROM A I1ALD 11 BAD. Tho devil was mad. His wide demoniac Rrln was Rone, he clashed his fangs, whllo tho slimy froth dripped from the point of his peaked Jaw. Tho furrows over his hair shunned head deepened, and ran half up the standing height of his twitching ears. His pointed bnrbed tall smoto an grily on the molten Moor as he sat In stnto screaming In wild rngo at frightened Imp-couriers. The sulphurous fumes rolled about his horrid head, nnd touching puffed away, arching heavily above. On his great naked hldo tho glnro of the lurid llamos burned greon, nml shifting, lit his court. All Its gruesome horror stood forth bold In tho hovorlnR frame of poisoned cloud. Ho lifted his hot voice In screechliiR iiuory tho pitch browned broilers fell prostrate In white llvored hum'!lt, or sklddlcd away down tho smoking pubs, before the maledictions of tho danned chief. "Now curses fester upon you. Wood rotted Imps of bellowing hell! Why In tlery Tnrtnrus! why In tho name of the master you serve, did you lot that Dante out?" SUGAR MAKING IN NEBRASKA. Within the past wrek Professor H. H. Nicholson has had inquiries for four dif ferent parties concerning tho prospect nnd outlook for the establishment of sugar manufactories in this state. This fact In my scrap book there Is a picture which awes, whllo It holds me with a mys tlo charm. "Through storm on enrth to peace In heaven" A funeral barge alone on a wild sen. The dead girl on her garlanded blor, with her tossed hair loose about her nft white shroud, lies so sweet nnd peacefully calm In the tumult of nngry storm, that the youiiR priest bonding rev erently over her, seems to have lost his soul In Rnzlng. The old man li llowlng robo, with long whlto hnlrs lying, lit prototypo of bremo old Time, feels no human presence ns he steers tnolr silent course. Their spirits have Jolntd In somo far away clime, with that of :ho beauti ful girl, and tho dead with tho living dead wanders onward througr the wnvus. Snd nnd mournful tlint ever tho exit from on unkind world should bo so troubled. And the nwful nloncncss of It, a solitary mark in tho circumambient realm of tho foam capped waters. "ANY OLD THING. " A tall youth with yellow hair was tos sing In tho delirium of fever. Two strong men were by his bed to restrain him when ho became violent. At Intervals he thought ho saw forms crawling about the bed and swarming over his body. Then he would scream In fenr nnd entreat tho men to tnke away tho loathsomo things. "Seo Hint skinny Kplchelromn with tho yellow-green head," he yelled. Take awnv tlint Entliunomo with tho yellow stripes. There comes that Sorlto crawling on my face, kill him! All thoso Bplsylloglsms are choking mo with thalr hairy hands." The suffering of tho poor lad was terrlblu, but tho watchers only murmured, "Poor boy, that loglo I. Is haunting him." "Say, why are you not at o;nt this hour?" and he npproached the bo-speet-aeled man resting on the bench. "Thores n. lecture In tho chapel this hour, and ton o'clock classses are dismissed." "Well." came tho reply. "I thought you were tho man who wrote all thoso article for the college papers on tho benetlelal Inlluenees of the chancellor's course." ' 1 am." "Well do toll! I didn't know htoy unil tho dormitory system at the university of Ne brnskn." and the old man rubbed his spectacles and looked again. "Von tharo It Is. 'Art rooms up stnlra,' gues I'll go up and call on him." The man who plnys football is always open to having something mean said to him. Will McKny Is no exception. Ho played good football during tho Junior senior game, anil lost a molar In the noble work. Hut when be was most x peetlng sympathy, Oury came up to him with. "Hello Mne, did you brenk that tooth off chewlnp tho nig during that gnme?" A nd now they don't spenk.

A PASTORAL IN PHYSICS LAB. The western sun wns Joyously dropping behind the smoke stnek of the engine house. Its quivering rays struck "Hnttlo" Hatfield's head as he watched the pendu lum of the clock. "I must tnke a brace. I am not keep ing up my usual record," said Buck Mc Creary to Davvy who was blowing glass. "Wha's mntter7" said Dawy, trying to talk through tho glnss tubo. "I haven't tried to mash a slnglo one of tho lab queens today. I'm not up to my limit," answered Buck. Orry Kellog sat with his shapely heno bowed In thought and a dish of steamlnR liquid. He had been pondering deeply for nn hour. Ho was thinking sadly how good his flvo dollars looked when ho gave It over to the lab assistant. He remembered bitterly that noma of tho lab assistants had beon smoking Rood cigars since he whacked up. "Thore Isn't enough Juice on this tick er." yelled "Hnttle" from his corner where for five minutes there had boon n wonderful celm. considering tho source. Charley Barber sat hopofully eyeing the clock from his stool. Ho had beon weigh ing some vnccuum on a lob-sided scale.

TREATMENT AND REAtJONA- Old Mr. Wllklns eats, chop-stick wls-e, with fork and knife, sweeping his un lucky neighbors with raking broad-sides from his extended elbows. He lnvnria bly says, "soo-oup" to his coffee from over the edge of the cup, and unconsciously appropriates a part of others' salad, eat ing discriminatingly to either side of his own. He maunders at the sauce bot tle when trying to stop the contents from Its stoppered neck, mumbles to Becky and growls hoarsely for "lay." He rises from his chair to capture the cream pitch er, dragging his elbow in the gravy com ing back. Ho puts pieces of brend be tween his lips nnd rams them home with his fore-finger. But his love for pio sur passes understanding. With nn uncertain hunk on the blade of his upheld shaky knlfo. and head thrown back, he glides the morsel half the length of his knife between his closing lips. When the wedge of thirty degrees has dwindled to nn atom In the corner of his strained mouth, ho lifts his plato and mutely demnnds more. Becky rasplngly calls to the kit chen, "Solder the pie!" The old man starts nervously, but smiles reassured on the appearance of the ton degree renewal. The following contribution to tho Ne brnkan doubtless origlnnted from the dis ordered brain of tho possessor of an empty fountnln pen, and Is one of the nwful con sequences attending tho action of tho Co-Op In charging a fee of one cent for filling fountain pens.
