deserve much credit. considering the
smallness OF their school, their size and
their newness to the game.
Next came the fret half between the

first prize for the tournament. and there
was much enthusiasm among the high
school people, although no one doubted
the university would win. The game
was very swift. but the superior size,
strength and endurance OF the univer.

the score being 24-1. The superiority
OF the university teams over the visitors

MEDICAL LEGISLATION IN NEBRASKA
1t is time wasted to spend it in vain
regrets over the outcome of legislation
concerning the medical profession in the
late session Of the Nebrabka legislature.
Our legislature has been privileged to
display the degree Of natural intelli-
gence which it possesses, and it GER
taiply has availed itself Of the oppor-
tunity. 1t is we'll said that. outside Of
ones own profession or calling in life,
ones reasoning powers seem to be de-
fective. and that very few can be con-
sidered good judges Of what is best for
those in the other walks Of life. Apathy
has borne its legitimate fruit, and bill
has been passed comforting upon the
people calling themselves Osteopaths

with practically none Of the obligations,

praise, both in the manner and in the
energy with which they fought this bill.

A certain Business Slave was bonlng

three Rings on every Finger. Also ne

Rainy Day. And he put 1t aside as IL
expecting another Deluge
He always said that he was going to
Retire when he had Enough. When he
was 20 years old he hoped to amass
$4,000. At 80 he saw that he would
not be able to peg along on less than
100000 When he was DO he realized
that a Man that didn't have Il Million
was little better than Tramp. At "
he wanted to make the Elkins- Widener
Syndicate look like a band of Paupers.
AT 60 he still promised himself that
he would retire. Just as soon as he
had cabbaged everything Getable, then
he was going to lie back in an Invalid
Chair and read the $4,000 Books he had
collected but he had not found time to
cut the Leaves.
In order to get ready for his Lay-Off
he built Home in the Country. He
told the Architect to throw himself on
something compared with which Wind
scr Castle would be a Woodman's Hut.
He decided on Deer Park, a Poultry
Farm and Ancestral Oaks, so as to
have something Ancestral.
He put up a Shack that reminded
one of the State Capitol at Springfield.
1t was big enough for Soldiers Home.
The Family consisted of himself and
his Wife, and the Architect allowed
them 10 Bath Rooms apiece.
The Rugs and Tapestries cost $1.15
a Thread. Every Painting was fresh
from the Salon and had the Cost Mark
attached to show that it was Good
Goods.
When the Place was completed he
handed the Business over to the Junior
Partners and went out to Rest. He
turned on all the Fountains and or
dered the Birds to strike up. The
Dream Of his Life had come True. He
had no Cares no Response bilities All
he had to do was sit there and watch
the Grass grow.
He enjoyed it for nearly 25 minutes
and then he began to Fidget, so he
went and sat IN the Marie Antoinette
Room for while and counted the
Stripes in the Fresco. Afterward he
took a Turn about the Grounds and
came back and wondered if everything
was running along all right at the
Office.

Five Dollars for His Picture.
While little in sympathy with mod
ern civilization, the old chief appre-
clates one Of its inventions, the cam
era. He charges So for his picture.
He always looks his toughest in his
pictures. He likes to strike an atti-
tude of devilish ferocity when being
photographed. The older he grows
the greater is his desire to make a
f!endish appearance. Five years ago,
when he first came to Fort Sill, he was
content to wear white mems clothes
and consented to have himself photo
graphed wearing them. Now when he
poses he looks like the oldtime red
skin of the Apache tribe. This is be-
cause he sees that his war clothes at
tract more attention from white Wis
itors He does his best to give them
their moneys worth and to live up to
their expectations.
In talking about his war experience
he spoke in the Apache language to
this effect:

The Modern Fable of the Plunger Who
Pulled Out Just in Time.
BY GEORGE AIDE.

Once there was Sawed-Off who al
ways wanted to Fight. He wore a u
Collar and was not very Broad across
the Narrows. His Weight was close on
to Six Stone, but he carried tons Of
Valor.
He was set on a Hair Trigger. The
moment any one began to rub him the
wrong way, he would crack his Heels
together and double-dare any Human
Being to come at him.
He was sensitive about his lack Of
Size. If he went to Ball and two
stepped with some six-foot Hebe MAX
ing a kind Of q III Exhibition, he was
ready to Call Out any one in the Room
who dared to smile.
Like all small men, he was Gallant.
He was a Protector of Women in Pub
lie Places. Usually he would choose a
Man about the size Of Gus Rubin and
tell him he was no Gentleman. Then
the Leviathan would look down at him
and call him Banty and tell him to go
and play Hide-and-Seek with himself.
Whereupon the Pocket Edition would
beg any three in the Crowd to meet
him in the Alley:
For years he had been breathing Blue
Smoke through his Nostrils and shout
Ing Def1es and he didn't bear a Scratch.
One Day he learned that the Laundry
Man had made a sighting Remark
about his Cook. So Dickie, the Lion
Hearted. began to boast that he would
borrow q Step-Ladder and go down
and tweak the Nose OF this Defamer
of Character.
The Laundry Man heard Of these
Threats and he sent word that IL any
one came hunting Trouble, he would
Light on him and Sting him like Bee.
The Little Man received this Mes
sage and he went to the Laundry on a
Dead Run. He bounded in and called
for the Proprietor.
