they were all men Of democratic instincts

Burro Punching Profanity.

In his book "A Day With Tramp

the following story OF profanity and
burro punching in the west:
.'Ihe burros plainly shared the feel

bic region. and the art of burro punch
ing began consequently to disclose its
difficulties.
"They were most difficult to manage
at the fords. Generally they scattered

them again and forced them down to
the brink they would stand calmly,

real profanity, and l am bound to own
that it was effective. When beating

failed to urge the burros forward.
Price would stand back. pale with

all his gods and blasting the reputa

Standing of the Team.
BALL TEAM HERE
On the Way Home from Victorious
Game with Minnesota
University.

With a ruddy glow of collegiate pride
mantling their cheeks under coats of tan,
the University of Nebraska base ball team
spent Sunday in Omaha enroute to Lincoln
from Minneapolis, where they defeated the
University of Minnesota on Saturday by
a score of = to 3. Captain Bell and his
men were greatly elsted. They feel that
this victory over so strong a team is a
prediction Of what the Cornhuskers will do
on their long trip, soon to begin. A clean
record among college clubs has been
prophesied for the varsity boys this year,
and hope is strong that they will fulfill it.
Last year Minnesota defeated Nebraska
at Lincoln. 5 to 3, winning on a fuke In
the tenth inning. This made rivalry in
tense.
At the Dellone hotel. where the team
spent Sunday, a throng of former Nebraska
men, now living in Omaha, gathered to
congratulate the players and to imbibe
again q little of the old spirit. The team
went to Lincoln In the evening. This week
Nebraska plays Washburn college on Tues
day and Kansas university on Thursday
and Friday. all games being at Lincoln.
Saturday they leave for the big trip, which
will comprise about sixteen games with
the leading middle-west colleges.
