If you stand on the university campus

humanity that ambles awkwardly by
you, you wonder that anything respec
table can ever be made out of such ma
terial, yet they seem to bring some pret
ty good stuff out of it sometimes.
Somebody said last year that all the
Jays on earth had been mustered out
and sent up to the university In a body,
but there were a few hundred left for
this year. If you want to see novelties
in dress and etiquette, just go up there

part of It Is that so often the jays make
better men and even jollier fellows than
the correct birds with trim gait and
plumage neatly parted In the middle.
The ladles matinee musical Is getting

The onward march toward matri
mony continues. No stress of hard
times can keep back the movement. A
couple of weeks ago I spoke of the re
ported engagement of a young wholesale
druggist of this city to a young lady re
siding in a state to the east of Nebras
ka. The young man. for some reason,
objected to the publicity given to his
plans, and not many hours after The
Courier appeared, he went, so I am in
formed, to Omaha, where he Is very well
known, to escape congratulations. But
all of the Omaha papers copied the
item from The Courier, and the- young
man found hmself quite as much the
object of attention in Omaha as in thl
city, and like the cat, he came back.
Speaking of engagements it is under

planing mill in this city and a young
lady well known in social circles, whose
family name is identified, with the shoe

ever he has made his appearance he

merchant, who like the planing mill
