The grand new Richards block erected on the corner of Eleventh and O streets at a cost ofnearly one hundred thous and dollajs, is approaching completion. The swell offices of the city will hereafter be founed in that immediate vicinity. The Wooster Collegian jumps on a certain McKennan who offers "to furnish you with orations and essays, for use in college, lileirry society or ctnn tr.arr.ci t tauciscs, at reasonable rates." We have a indistinct remem brance of something of the kind here. McKennan lives in Toledo, however, and our fellow hailed from Chicago. We are consequently forced to the disagreeable conclusion that there two specimens of contemptible meanness instead of one q "We have a good joke on one of the boys," said a Chicago drummer. "I wont tell you what his name is, but he travels for one of the biggest milincry houses in Chicago. Not long " ago he was at Milwaukee and got into a row at the station with a hack driver. The hackman was a big fellow, and pre suming on his size, enjoyed himself several minutes abusing the drummer, who was a little man. The little chap stood it about five minutes and then his coat came off he gave it a vicious sling to the other side of the room. He meant busi ness, and in forty seconds that hack driver had a black eye, v bloody nose, and was yelling lustily 'Take him ofF.' "Of course, as soon as order had been restored, we all gathered about our drummer and congratulated him on his nerve. ,'You did him up in scientific shape," said one of us. "You bet your life I did,' replied the milincry sales man, stll a little excited; 'I didn't get a first-class college ed ucation for nothing." EXCHANGE BRIC-A-BRAC.

Courier, We most heartily commend that article on college govern ment in the last Vidette Reporter. "Them's our sentiments." The Vanderbilt Observer comes out with a supplement. It is the address of the Hon.Howell E. Jackson. The Observer is enterprising. The S. W. P. U. Journal hai six columns which are "sick ped o'er" not with "the pale cast of thought" but with an article on "Mustache Culture." B-o s h! The Hesperian Society of Doane are thinking of building a society hall of their "very own." The dimensions are not stated but the enterprise in the endeavor is praiseworthy. They are having a "time" at the K. S. U. over the in creased stiffness of the course. Nebraska students have found that the only way to successfully meet such a move is not by complaint but by extra hard work. Editors in general and college editors in particular are too frequently addicted to the use of generalities. Now we know from personal experience that generalities of the common sort do not take brains. To treat a limited subject well takes thought and work. P. S. The above remark about generalities and brains applies only to the exchange editor. We clip the following piece of information from the Cou rier', " The future influence of the students of ourUniversi ty cannot be underestimated". Explanations are in order. Horace rode along the sacred way on a mule, but the mod ern Sophomore follows him on a pony. Ex. It strikes us that the way of the modern sophomore is any thing but sn cred.
