Sloan Fraternities Lee Berry Athletics Did you read the Nebraskan's "Confession's of a Fake Eater?" -If not, buy a copy at once and do so. It is very short and concise, but straight to the point. But come, let us reason together, and be wise. Let us drink and bo merry. Let us drink at the fountain of experience and bo morry over a huge joke. Lot us say in the language of an alumnus of our University, "Another sucker caught, but we won't bite any moro." Lot us resolve never to put confidence in an anonymous letter, oven though it bo found in such a respectable place as the City Library. Lot us determine, if ever placed in such circumstances again, to interview the pur ported author before publishing. Let us say wo have had enough of yellow journalism, and are content with the pure and unadulterated facts, oven though they are not quite so glowing. Among the now books recently added to the general library are Kipling?s new volume "A Day'u Work," Ian McLaren's now book "Afterwards," and a selection of "Frontier Stories" by 0. Warmon, reporter for the Denver Republican. This book contains a very realistic description of the killing of Bob Ford. We are glad the Nebraskan has condescended to admit the truth, even though it dooB so in a very meek way. We are not so sure but that it still holds to the opinion of having picked up a "great 'scoop,' considering the individuals con cerned." Wo know it is very unpleasant to bo taken in as a dupe; wo would prof or to be taken in some other way. We know it is humiliating on April Fool's Day to attempt to pick up a dollar which is nailed to the sidewalk. We believe it must bo moro humiliating to pick up a fake letter purposely left as a bait for the first chance sucker. We can not conceive the pangs of sorrow and humiliation that must come from hav ing beon convinced so thoroughly of the genuineness of such an anonymous fake as to publish it as a "great 'scoop'," and and then discover later that wo had instead beon 'scooped our solves. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved. Wo sor row at their misfortune, but we can not help it. Wo know how hard it is to gild a grief with tears, and yet wo wish to give to every man his duos. Wo give the Nobraskan dues for a little grief. As editors of the Hesperian wo fool duly and sadly re sponsible for tho error into which the Nobraskan has fallen a victim. Wo will take all tho blame onto ourselves. Wo will bo moro cautious hereafter in admitting misleading locals into tho columns of our paper. Wo are vory sorry that a chance nows item about a certain "stag party" should have beon taken as tho nucleus of such a sensational fairy talo as filled the space of our friendly contemporary a week ago. Wo are pleased that the editors find solace and comfort in their be reavement in shifting the responsibility of their mistake. A vory interesting and able review of somo late books was published in a recent number of the Helena Daily Independ ent. The author was Miss Edna Bullock of tho city library at Helena, Montana; the cause of tho sketch was tho purchase of many of the books of the library authorities in that city. Miss Bullock is known to tho students of this University as the laday, otherwise cataloguer, who protected the interests of this University's library during tho time when tho preceding librarian and professor of Bibliography hold office. A Piano at a Nominal Price. Chicago's largest music house, Lyon & Hoaly, have bought for a fraction of its coBt, tho entire Btock of Lyon, Potter & Co. These splendid pianos are offered without reserve until all aro sold. In this stock are a number of now Stoinway pianos, and hundreds of new and second hand pianos, including in struments of tho following well-known makes: Sterling, Hunt ington, A. B. Chase, Yose, Fischer, Weber, Ohickoring, G. W. Lyon, etc., etc. In square pianos there aro fine-toned in struments at $25, $4:0, $60 and upwards. In Upright Pianos neat instruments at $100, $120, $H0, $150, $105, $190, $200 and upwards. In Baby Grands some nice specimens at $250 and upwards. Nearly all these pianos wore intended to soil for at least double their clearing sale prices. A good plan would be to order a piano, leaving the ooloction of it to Lyon & Healy. However, they will, sohd a list and full particulars upon application. Any piano not proving entirely satisfactory may bo returned at thoir expense Address simply, Lyon & Hoaly, Chicago. Distance is no obstacle in taking advantage of this remarkable chance to obtain a piano, for, in proportibnP to the saving to bo made, tho freight charges aro insignificant.
