THE FUNKE.

A play of strong heart interest at the
Funke Opera House on next Monday
aud Tuesday evenings, is IAN Ameri-
can Tramp" in which the nerve and
push OF the typical American will be
shown. 1t depicts the hardships of an
honest workman who through adverse
circumstances is compelled to be hobo.
and shows the magnanimity of this
same tramp who after being rehatilita-
ed in society, not only forgives but for
gets all the injustice that has been done
bin. The play also contains many
ludiorous and laughter provoking stu.
atoms and intensely stirring climaxes.
There will be specialties Of an interest
ing nature.

A Correction.

Dear Sir: A report is in circulation
to the effect that in lecture on "Verac
ity" last month at the University of
Chicago l taught that under certain
circumstances lying is justifiable. This
report is absolutely false and without
foundation. Some careless reporter
must have ascribed to me a view which
L mentioned only to refute it. in the
lecture referred to maintained with all
the logic and warmth at my command
that lying is never justitiable under any
circumstances or for any purpose what.
ever. No other idea Of my meaning
could have occurred to any attentive
listender.
Will you be good enough to publish
this correction? Yours,

OF impress upper classmen in the fra
ternities at once bis social life in the
university is likely to be mesgre indeed.
In some colleges the fraternities are
more conservative and take their time
about selecting new members; but in
the Nebraska university it is only neces-
sary for one fraternity to begin to rush
q man to make him the ne plus ultra OF
all the other traternities. This has a
bad effect on freshmen. They come
from high schools where they have been
through the dizzying senior experience.
The best scholars OF the class usually
come to the uni. and they need il not
hszing at any rate dose Of the relat-
ivity just spoke about. Instead Of
that the mothers darlings who have
worn their first Prince Alberts just three
short months ago are rushed by the
frsternities. Older men for whom in
older schools they would be fsgging,
court them, take them riding. offer
them cigars, humiiate themselves in
every way fisttering to the freshman
heart, and spoil them before they join
a fraternity which has been built up
and organized by the unselfish and
loyal work Of upper classmen.
1t takes some time for new member
to realize that he was rushed because
his fraternity brothers thought that
eventually he might be licked into
shape as good and creditable member.
Some OF the boys never get over it and
the rest of the fraternity never cease to
regret their too precipitate choice.
There is no question but that the or
binary freshman needs hazing il lot of
physical severity at least Of the cruel
snubbing and scorning that only upper
classmen know how to administer.

men on the streets. away from home for
the first time, and insolent with the in
science Of youth and conceit murtured
by year OF high school seniority and
by familyIs pride. The rushing does
not eesm to affect the girls in the same
way. As soon as the latter join a 30
rority they seem to lose individual pride
in pride OF their organization. They are
anxious to do something
useful for the sorority. But girls care
more to please than boys do. They
seem to feel responsibilities and to re.
spond to them. Boys, from the first
breath Of conscious masculinity, which
they draw somewhere about three years
OF age, assume number of rights and
privileges to be happy and comfortable
at the expense OF other people. While
girls never can be really happy il their
is bought at the price of
somebody's discomfort. On rare &C.
casions boy like Buddha is born, who
does not like to torment animals nor

that he rs not prototype to any great
