The Nebraskan-Hespkrian 3 NOTES AND COMMENTS, MOMHn 1 THREE NEW STUDENTS The Animal Husbandry department "has recently purchased three York "shlre hogs for instruction in the school of agriculture." Is it possible! This is reliable information. It is also a step in the right direc tion! Congress has made a long stride forward! She has put on her walk ing shoes, gathered up her skirts out of the mud and tripped VI in B Va of the Higher Education of the Hog. In distributing praise lor this great advance too much praise cannot bo bestowed upon the director of the School of Agriculture, Prof. Albert E. Davisson, .A. B. who helped Progress round up the Hogs. He had to hunt all over the ten acre lot for them, wade the creek five times and crawl about among the brush for two and a half hours trying to find tho little Yorkshires. At last he came upon them way off in tho south west corner, eating acorns as fast as they could making perfect hogs of themselves. He spoke to them in gentle tones, they 8. He entreated them to come and get their minds developed, they eight some more. He repeated the first three and the last two pages of his best Farmers Institute lecture, it never phased them, they ate still tho' not silently. Albert E. Davison was mad; he had missed his Geomitry, History and Plant Pests classes and it was grow ing late. Ev'en has come and the darkness Falls from the wings of Night As a feather is wafted downward From an eagle in his flight. This verse is not original, it wa3 written by Mr. Henry W. Longfellow, but It is a better visualization of night fall than we could write on short no tice, and It describes the situation ex actly.) The crises demanded action on the part of the Hogs. The worthy agriculturist emphas ized the demands of the Crisis with his cane. The Hogs started off in three different directions. Under tho auspices of tho three Hogs ho lived tho strenuous life. Ho was a regular Nemesis to those Hogs. (Wo moan no disrespect.) Suffice to say that ho finally winded them and boro them off in triumph. Night had fallen and tho moon and stars were brightly shining. !' o (, I'ljf, 1.

Doubtless if tho "three Yorkshire Hogs" find "instruc tion in the School of Agriculture" helpful there will be a rapid increase in attendance. We wish them every success. A CORRECTION. About two weeks ago we constructed a fiery article on the evils of working too hard." Now: we didn't intend at all that every lazy student should take this as a "free card" to shirk, flunk and otherwise refuso to recite. Furthermore wo do not con sider reciting work anyway. Recit ing, after a fellow has his lesson pre pared, is thrilling oratory. But that's tho way it goes. One is not given credit for real obtusness; he is taken too literally. A PAIR. A friend of ours, Abbott by name, general Patrons Pacifier on the Free mont Herald takes occasion to land several blows on our "body corporate." He says we don't know a thing or two; that our english is bad; our office dirty and type in need of a new face. Of course we could easily and profit ably return his letter and say "same to you," "merry Thanksgiving" etc, but we will not do that, we shall merely say: "We have heard of you." The fact that our friend Abbott was a bosom friend of one McNeal while '.hat being flourished in our midst, surely scores one. And if our enemy Mr. Dooley could have seen McNeal's .rowser's he would have announced a higher score. As a writer of "storiettes" for Mun oy, Abbott ranks high, as a cigarette lend he ranks nigher, but as a news laper critic he coinside's with Lin join's new asphalt pavement.
