THE HESPERIAN Mistaken identity. Strange individual, "Come, its time to go to bed." Pound. Ah, coinc off." Donne Student. "Sitz, he's a prof.M Why don't the U. of N. use easier and more interesting text books in German? A scries of "Clevo-Bismarck" almanacs, for instance. Miss Myra Clark remained in the city until the latter part of vacation week, when she went home and stayed until Thursday of the next week. How in the world Tom Hall managed it so as to sit on the same piano stool that Miss L was sitting on in 'the chapel at Donne, is what puzzles us. The many Iricmls of C. F. Scharmann, of North Platte, who thought his character while here irreproachable, will be pained to hear of his probable speedy fall. He has bought a nickel plated bicycle. " Mr. Dungan, of Doane college, secretary of the state oratorical association, listened to our orators at the local contest. We do not know whether he got any pointers to take home with him or not. Fletcher, after arguing for half an hour with a sandwich fiend about twenty-five cents, and finally beating him down to ten cents, showed his superlative hoodooing ability further by palming ofi a three cent piece on him. In the interesting though fateful game of "canine" in which this institution has lately been engaged, viz, the state oratorical contest, it is saddening to think that Doane is growling and the University is playing title role. Crete: "Friends and students of the University, we wel come you to our city. We have no jails nor asylums and our foolkillcr is sick, but we welcome you. Our hearts are large and will supply warmth in place of nature's furnace, the sun, which Jehovah has curtained in the obscurity of the mists, umpah, tidnradum." We were very agreeably surprised this week by a visit from F. A. Stuff. While at the U. of N., Mr. Stuff gained a host of friends by his gentlemanly conduct and true Christian character. At present he is looking after the spiritual 'needs of the people at Creston, 111. We wish him the greatest success in his chosen profession. The store of Semmons, "Outfitter to Mankind" is always attractive to the eye and his clerks arc attentive to the wants of every customer. Mr. Semmons has shown a disposition to patronize The Hesperian as is shown by his ad. on our back cover. We hope the students will, in turn, remember him and give him a (air share of their patronage. See ad. for location. The annual stale conference of the college Y. M. C. A. will be held in the University chapel next Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The address of welcome will be given by Chancellor Bessey. Dr. Duryca of Omaha, will give the lecture Friday night, and no student can afford to miss it. Mr. Wilder and other men of national V. M. C. A. reputa tion will be present. About a hnndred from the other col leges of the state will be here. The patent medicine fakir was growing desperate. He was about to cease business for the night for he had begun to think that the people in this locality were so healthy that nothing could make them sick. He judged wrongly, how ever, for in a few moments a multitude of suffering people crowded around his carriage crying for relief. They came from an opposite side of the square where they had been listening, very imprudently, to a spasmodic rendering of the famous "Pcm-Ta-Ta Ovciluie" by the cadet band. DIRECT POINTERS.

We lately received the beautiful annual catalogue of seeds and plants which is issued under the title of "Vick's Floral Guide." Besides being a very full and extensive list it is a work of art as well. Two fine colored plates appear and add much to the attractiveness of the publication. We need scarcely add that the seed house of James Vick, Rochester, N. Y., from which the catalogue is issued is one of the oldest and most reliable in the country.
