CONQUERlNG HEROES
 OF THE COLLEGES
BY ALFR ED CECIL.

What has become of the great army of graduates whom the universities, big and little, have sent out to conquer the world, during, say, the last five years? l know that the majority of them are around somewhere, but that is not what want to get at, which is this: We were told, and they were told that they were fully "equipped for the battle," and that they were certain to reap the highest rewards in the great contest I should like to hear from some of them. How Is the battle" going? Have they won or have they lost? Five years Is pretty good stretch of time; sufficiently long, at least. to produce some results. Thus far I do not see any. Perhaps it is because my opportunity of observation has not been very wide although I do not think that is the reason, for I have made one or two great cities observatories, and with them included the entire country as ef- fected in the newspaper press, general and special. So far as l have been able to discover, the university men are nowhere in the fight. except. possibly, in some ath- letic contest, while 1 can count scores

Something the Matter After All.

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 Something is the matter with Kansas in spite of it's desperate effort to appear like an ordinary state. It's suffering from floods Is aggravated by the most cheer fully avaricious legislature on record. After his urgent appeals to Nebraska and other neighboring states for help for the flood sufferers, Governor Bailey call ed a special session of the legislature in response to vigorous protests that a state with ninety million dollars in it's banks and a bumper corn crop in sight ought not to become an object of charity. But, on the ground that relief meausures were unconstitutional, the governor refused to recommend any relief appropriation, and a bill appropriating s300,0O0 was therefore defeated. Whereupon the legislature voted itself $12000 for mileage and per diem in compensation for it's valuable services, and adjourned. There will be mighty little disposition on the part of outsiders to help Kansas out of its next pickle.

 "Weli?"
 Well, I lied to him. of course. When a man asks specifically for your honest opinion about anything. especially the automobile he owns, you can generally make up your mind that you've either got to lie to him or lose his friendship. It is only when he is less particular that you can afford to speak with perfect frankness."
