The exorcise given In tho chnpol by the
8tntt otlleern and certain members of the
legislature, upon tho evening of tho olec
trlcnl oxhlblt deserves n word of praise.
It Is lltt'"1 to Impress our lawmnkors and

(ho time for them to receive their semi

Liberal potations of ilre-wnter ' from
tho sutlers, the purohiino of gundy blank

at tho reslimrnut, did nothing to lame
tho wild Spotted Tails. Thoy sot out nf
tei dinner to take In tho town before re

Mrs. Spotted Tail, with the youngster
Strapped to her back, kept close by tho
sldo of tho yowling head of tho Spotted
Tall tepee: she carried the greater part
of her share of the lire water In tlio Jug
upon her shoulder, while Spotted Tall
roolrd lienentli the full weight of his In
ternal burden. Lurching nnd reeling
down tho street, unmindful of tho wiles
of tho bunco man or Mexican Monte fne

taker's whore thoy paused and gazed In
sheer nmnr.ement.

There nro about foi'ty young men In
this university, who today, aro thinking
thnt tluy are about tho littlest rag In tho
wash. Thoso nro tho young men who
rushed a lot of resolutions through the
Union Hoys (Minting club last Saturduy
evening, which ondorsed tlio football bill
Speaker Gnflln has introduced Into the
house. Thoy represented that they ex
pressed tho sentiment of tho student body.
From all Inquiries that havo been mndo,
It Is Impossible to get tho names of thoso
who wore prosont nt thnt meeting. Prom
inent members of tho debating club sny
that at the next meeting, the resolutions
will he turned down hard, nnd tho blotch
removed from tho nnme of tho Union
boys' debating club.
The practical way tho Nobrasknn took
to show thnt it hud space, scorns to have
made some pooplo squirm. This certain
ly Is not tho way our kindness should
havo been taken. Our contompornry, If
they think they aro doing all right In
their management of their sheot, should
not have gono Immediately to mud-sllng-Ing.
but should havo considered tho act
of tho Nobrnskan as an ndvortlsomont
for them. They havo shown that oven
they thomselvos, think ns llttlo of tholr
own shoot ns tho public at large.
Tho Nebraskan oxtonds a hetrty con
gratulation to the new fratornlty in our
midst Kappa Sigma. Tho eight ohartor
members aro well known ns mon who
command respect from the student body
as woll ns from members of tho faculty
for their scholarly standing, and moral
character. Wo hope that Knppn Sigma
will maintain the standard of men sho
has started with, and this will assure her
an envlablo position among the best frat
ernities nt this university.
If you have tried him once you found
that Westerfleld did tho right kind of ton
sorlal work. Ho has been the students

Indians examining it
with delight. It wns ns gorgeous a show
as thoy had anywhere seen. Spotted Tall
the while, grunted maudlin ijnoulullons
of approval for the delectation of tho Mrs.
Spotted Tnll. The droop of tho rustod
plumes; tho crest In front nnd the glided
crosses nsldo; tho glnss doors though
gritted over with stnlns of sand, nnd
clutched by. knobs of tarnished brnss; all
charmed the simple folk and plain.
Tho undertaker, standing In front of his
shop, noted tho Ingenuous delight of tho
Spotted Tails, and pilled the poor gulli
ble things. Hi wns the one iiinn In town
who was not gaining at their expense.
I I3ven when Hlg Thompson shot Inline
131k over tlio card-table, tho boys had
i Juggled him out of his doserts by fa
cetiously burying tho Indian In tho snnd.
Tho undertaker's fuco wns long and sadly
reproving when he nw the devices nnd
sharp practices by whloh his neighbors
enriched themselves; decried their wnnt
of mornl virtue In stooping to client tho
guileless children of nature. "Hotter,"
said he. "to live In poverty always, than
be enriched by wealth so darkly gotten.''
Spotted Tall looked from the hearse to
tho undertaker, then he reeled over to
whore the man stood, nnd drawing a dir
ty leather pouch from under his blanket,
took out lUty dollars nnd thrust It In the
othor's hand, pointing meanwhile to him
self nnd then to tho hearse. Tho under
taker had oneo asked forty-llvo dollars
for It, but exposure to tho wenther had
heightened Its value. Ho shook his head
and looked nbnuutly down tho street,
Kooptng a good grip on tho money In his
hand. Tho Indlnn crnmmed a bunch ot
bills, a hundred dollars, on the first, the
yielding lingers closed on them, but the
undertaker's bend kept up Its negative
wag. Then the Indlnn with a scowl on
his brow nnd a snarl botwoon his lips
drugged forth another hundred and ang
rllly oast tho empty pouch ul the others
foot, whereat tho undertaker nodded em
phatically nnd slipped hurriedly Into the
shop, whllo tho Indlnn with n lightened
fnco nnd a Joyous whoop, lurohod off with
alt speed to bring his tonm, leaving Mrs.
Spotted Tall to guard his new found
treasure. j

Ho soon returned nt broak neck speed,
driving tho hot ponlos at tho snap of the
lash. Quickly hitching thorn to tho hearse '
