10 THE COURIER Ik Li-- m Wr MP' wcjtr MISCELLANY. UV FLORA BCLtOCK. For The Courier. A man who makes mistakes is sure to lose friends. To loso a friend is heart-break. There was never a man born who did not make mistakes. It would eeem to be a great blessing if one could avoid being born. . The Conservative quotes some ad mirer aB declaring that he who sub scribes for the Commoner should take the Conservative also as an antidote. Permit the suggestion that after you have taken both doses you had best have The Courier to sweeten the taste. Bill Nye Bays in his "Guest at the Ludlow." that the partakers of the hospitality of that hostelry were furnished with soup, bread and coffee, and that they used the bread to take away the taste of the soup, and the coJee to drown the taste of the bread, or varied it, eating the bread last to remove the taste of the coffee. The Reader of the three C's might do similarly. He would probably reflect upon one thing among many namely, the seeming Monopoly or Trust that the letter 0 has on Nebraska week ly journalism. Even the university Kiote narroTly escaped the clutches. I shall have to plead guilty myself to havin? made a stand for c proper Webiterian usage, when the Kiote was christened. It is fortunate that I was outnumbered, for I have no relish for anti- trust prosecu tions, real or only threatened. There is still room for a Contemplator, a Con verter, a Kow-boy, or a Kactus. If they should all get to saying pretty things about one another what a world to live in Nebraska would be! But reallv. the people who said,-"Look childish breasts, so that it may never die. The name of Washington, that in spires reverence in gray-nairea savants everywhere in the world, has a potency with children far above any king of fairyland, though they do not really understand, and can not. No matter. They never spoil their love for their mothere by reasoning about it Their devotion, taught as it is, does them immense good, for it is one of the childish impressions that, though they may not si ve a life from degrada tion, help to "keep alive in the breast that little fpark of celestial fire called conscience. " Fur consience is the mem ory of good things, the, voice that harks back to Eome truth that once was with us. In the midst of so much discussion and criticism of higher education, so much si ej.ticiatn as to the usefulness of co'Iege lrnuiog, it is pleasant to have Charter Day celebration come to recall to even tho3e who can only think afar of the scarlet and cream, that there is a tie that binds us to thp Alma Mater. Charter Day never comes but it reminds ome of us of the one Charter Day poem that belongs to the un versity of Ne braska, the notable pean of rejoicing that came to us in 1895 from the pen of one who thought himself an exile among us, but who saw our noblest destiny in a flash one night and wrote it down in all its white heat. I suppose not one in a hundred of tho university students of today know of this most beautiful and majestic utterance. It seems to me worthy to be recited at every Charter Day, as a Declaration of Independence. An eastern university so honored would not let a great song or its singer go un remembered. The West uses a beauti ful thing for a day, then throws it aside THE FUNKB. The splendid reports of the Black Patti Trouabadours indicate that this company will meet with cordial recep tion in this city, Thursday evening, Feb ruary 28, at the Funke opera house. In addition to Black Patti, there are a num ber of clever singers, dancers and com edians among the forty or more people who comprise the company. Al Watts, the prince of comedians, with a coterie of fun makers, sustain the comedy fea tures, and Black Patti, and a quartette of vocal soloists with a grand chorus of thirty well trained voices, render a ser ies of operatic selections in costumes and with scenery which haB created a verita ble spnsation.

Phono ."Bl to smite an enemy, laud a friend, de scribe Nebraska skies and prairies, or relate a simple story of home, or satirize a public opinion, all with equal effect iveness. The manner in which he took the Commoner to his bosom was naive. The relationship bears no traces of the David and Johnathan variety; rath er is it a little David and Goliath "af fair." David being represented by well, fix that to suit yourself. I apprehend that ere long the two papers will become eo indispensible advertisers of each other that while the editors lock horns, the business managers will lock arms, and the Common people so vigorously loved and defended by both sheets, will be afforded the inducement of a clubbing rate. Teacher: "Who was the greatest American?1' School in chorus vociferous: "George Washington First in war, First in peace, First in the hearts of bis country men!" Little the poor dears understand of it all, but they are very certain, very much impressed; very joyfnl everywhere in this broad land on Washington's birth day. They sing patriotic songe, can shrill through "The ark, then, of freedom's foundation," with never a glimmering notion of the meaning I am not certain of that line myself. They "speak pieces," with four fifths rhyme and one-fifth sense; the performbeautiful flag drills, and other wise exercise the ingenuity and patience of the teacher. To what end? -'What shall the harvest be?'' Statesmanship? Good citizenship? No one can tell, and yet cold-blooded critics would.rob the aspiring teacher of the hope that strengthens the hope of lighting the little fire of patriotism in lines, have need to be reminded of the things 44 That make of life, More than a barren strife, And of life's end No mere f orgctf ulness." The poem slipped into our midst quietly and with no pretension. Yet it was Boon recognized as one of the unforgetable messages, a call to action, to hope and courage and strenuous endeavor. If ever a new poet would write the Word for Nebraska's crown of glory, let him wait long until the '95 poem-is unknown to most men for now it silences any minor song. It should not be forgot ten. We should listen to it as to "The voices of all victors, gloriously Triumphing up the slopes or victory." The Wife The new cook is very tall, isn't she? The Husband Yes; bnt it isn't likely she'll stay long. Town Topics. THEATRICAL THE OLIVER.
