Jumbo.


Jumbo is hack driver. Everybody
knows Jumbo, because on the whole jun
DO is a - cuss. Last evening he drove
down to the depot to make train. The
train was an hour behind time and as the
weather was hot, Jumbo went to the
shady side of the depot, laid himself down
and went to sleep. Some newsboys were
there. They secured an old door and laid
it overJumbo. Then they piled on loi
of big rocks on top of the door. Jumbo
cared naught for this, for he knew naught
of what the boys were doing. In little
while the train came in, but Jumbo was
wedged in tight and couldn't get out unit
help came. The newsboys were gone
however, and it was well they were, fol
Jumbo was about the maddest man W,
ever saw, and might have done the kid

The lately published address deliver

The lately published address deliver
ed by President Laws, of the State
University, before the graduating class
of the Mining School at Rolla contains
one idea that is worth remembering:
That the degrees conferred by colleges
aud univ ersities should not be favors,
but certificates of work. The fact Is,
however, too often the contrary theory
has guided the action of college author
tiles, who have given degrees Of every
kind right and left, without for mo-
ment taking into account the merits OF
the individual further than to Obtain
certlfcation to his character ana repu-
tation by persons known to themselves.
If college..degrees are worth anything
they are worth earning, and if they are
not worth earning they are not worth
receiving by any man who respects
himself. The only rational way TO con-
fer college degree of any kind is TO
make it the reward of work honestly
done; when this plan is carried out de.
grees will be- worth having, ana
though the possession of an honor from
college will be somewhat less frequent
than at present, this will be no caiam-
ity. College degrees have become 20
common that they really mean snotn-
ing, and the only way to restore tneir
prestige is to limit their future eissuances

Jerusalem is described as now full OF
fanatics. While the Holy City is the
obiect of the most solemn and tender
regard by all ChristiansI it is at the
same time a magnet to ATTRACT relig-
fous peculiarities. In this way it has
become the place of thousand and
one oddities. Some art rank hypo-
critics, and some are worthy Christians.
These various enthusiast have organi-
zations for the furtherance of their
views. Each clique live IN a certain
rut of thoughts, and nevfr gets out of
it even so much as to dawl up to q
point where they can lpk over into
