Thoro ajo strango events that hnppon In tbo rogular grind of college life. Some of them are extremely pathetic. Hut they happen unknown to anyone, and some poor luckless fellow has departed with his troubles kept to blmsolf. A city merchant tolls an Incident Hint touches tho heart of everyone who bears It. One evening. Just before clot-lug a university student approached him, and asked to borrow his push cart. After sonio preliminary In quiries, tho boy said thnt ho wanted to haul bis trunk down to tbo depot. No, It wasn't vacation, but ho was going home. Tho fact Is" ho told tbo merchant. "1 Imvo boon on tbo ragged edge for a couplo of weeks, and am Just toppling over." It was tbo most cheerful way ho could put It. Tho cart was returned boforo daylight tho next morning. Cards marked "with drawn" were subsequently seat to the ex ecutive olllco, and tho educational career of one young man was tomparurlly cheeked. Wo will expect to see him agnln noxt September, when he bus more money, but such Incidents should servo to show us what advantages we ore enjoying, and make us appreciate them.

The wlnklB .ulyi )ou Tho university oxtenslon course offered In political economy. Is iccelvlng favor able recognition by tbo general public. Tho class consists at present of tbo lead Ins business and professional men of tbo city. The earnestness with which they take up tho work Is certainly commend able and frlutful results mny be antici pated. Tho department of economics hopes to make this course ns olllclont as that offored In tho curriculum proper. Thero Is no reason why It should not bo, but every reason why It should. Tho aim of the university Is to oxtond Its educa tional Inlluoneo ns far as possible. Alio every effort Is being inado by tho profes sors through their public lectures to arouso Interost In every department of higher education. TbU step Is takon by tho economic department under the di rection of Instructor Steams, and Is a now departure. But tho course will un doubtedly bo a permanent thing In uni versity work. Tho lending collogos of tho country linvo rocogplTicd tbo necessity and wisdom of such work, and wo certain ly are not going to bo far In tbo rear, In making It an offoctlvo sorvlco, Is our wish. XI Is at this tlmo moro than an other that tho eyo of tho public aro directed nt the university. Therefore ovoryone should sec that ho docs nothing In nn way that could attract public criticism. Class "scraps" aro ono of tbo ways that re sult In drawing tho vulgar gaze to tho doings of our students. Wo refer of course to tho tho unsoomly notice thnt has been drawn to tho law class. "What does the public care about barb and frats" Why Is It nocossnry for anyone to write an open lotter of n column to In sert In ono of the largest state papers? What good did It do the writer? Nono, but somo wary and crnbld legislator has prob ably pasted It In bis scrap book, and is preparing a impar on favoring "such go ings on." More foolish arguments than thetM were brought up two years ago. If anyone has any grievance, his coller; paper should be the first place be should go to correct a mlsnpprebonslon. To In sure, the Nebraskan might have not con sidered such articles as have been pub lished, yet they woro presented to neither of tho college pnpors. Wo cannot correct the editorial management of othor papors but, studonts at loast should see that thoy have no band In bringing uitfavorablo comment upon tho university. Tho dologatos to tho annual mooting of the Western Intor-colloglato football league moot at Lawrence, Kansas, tomor row. Tho rogular business of scheduling games will be done, and minor mattors brought up. This year, tho Kansas and Missouri gamos come to Nobraska, and may bo played by us at any place we may designate. Thero Is no question but that Lincoln can patronlzo tho two games suf ficiently to mako thorn both financially successful. But wo should not schedule more thnn ono moro game, if wo aro going to have these two. Tho trouble this sea- luereaoo In tho number of undents, the higher and more etllclent educatlounl methods of teaching, tho splendid labor atory facilities and the advantages of a largo and well erected library, all attest the wondorful advance and the splendid possibilities of the unlvorslty. Wo are contldent that the university will recelvo a liberal appropriation from tho legislature In splto of tho Indebted ness of the stnto and tho necessity of practicing rigid economy. No taxpayer In Nebraska will over regret the mite bo spends to aid tbo freest and fullest devel opment of a typical university. To hin der a normal growth of tho many depart ments of educational work for tho sake of funds Is purely educational suicide. By doing everything to mnko tbo members of tbo legislature familiar with oven the details of tho workings of tbo sevornl do- imrtmonts, will Impress upon them tho importanco of giving tho demands of tho regents duo consideration. What Is plain ly tho duty of every loynl student? It Is evidently to let every legislator under stand the exact status of affairs In this Institution. Do not go home nnd think only of having a good time during tho hol idays. But tell your parents, your neigh bors nnd most of all tell your ropresontu tlvo of tho prldo our university Is to tho state, of tho Important work It Is doing and whnt Is nocossnry to Increase Its pres tige. Tho students while at homo wlold a mighty Inlluoneo not only upon tho log Islntois, but for higher education, hot us not bo wayward In our duty and we will have no reason to complain. 0 COLLEGE NOTES.

But she, leaning against the caso was not listening; all tho long day tho woary hours bad tolled from off tbo vibrant pulse of Time, nnd tilled her with a dondncss not to bo bound lit words. Her eyes were heavy and lllmed dull with fatigue; her smllo was utmost ghastly as sho smiled the iiullo a joke always ox acts from a hotel employe. Sho did not see tho drummer nor the lounging crowd of smokers, neither did sho hear his coarso chuckling laughter.

Sho wanted to go homo; sho watched tho clock; but It seamed then to stop and staro at bor.
