STUDENT EXTRAVAGANZA

Dean Henry Wright of Yale has

luxurious dormitories; that nearly

Dean Wright has kept record of
Mhe residence of the rich and poo"
students, and the good and poor
scholars in Yale classes for five
years, and his report shows that the

Dean Wright attacks the society

INLAND NOTES

Spokane Spokane fuel dealers
state a drop in the price of kood
ranging from 81 to 50 per cord has
taken place during the past few
weeks and are looking for further
reduction before spring. 1t is stat
ed the opinion prevailed early in
the season that very little coal would
be available to the Inland Empire
and those having wood believed they
would be able to secure about any
thing they might ask for their hold
ings. The big supply of coal that
has been on hand at all times and
the mild winter has put a crimp in
the wood trust and those who en-
deavored to secure a corner on the
supply are offering their holdings at
, this time for less money than they
paid.

THINK IT OVER

The city is overlooking a source
of revenue. 1t might be collecting
money for the issuing of poetic IL
censes.
Those who believe in the law of
compensation and .retribution can
point to the fact that first the man
throws the banana peel on the side
walk and then the banana peel re-
ciprocates.
In the discussion of the panic 1t is
a case of cash and confidence, and
the banks do not care who fur
nishes the confidence, so that they
have the cash.
The cashier who has taken the OPP
portunity to make loans to himself
has too often taken the precaution
to furnish his own transportation.
The democratic donkey may be pa
tient, but the democratic statesmen
are not always that meek. When
they pass the lie they are ready to
pass the claret.
After this latest squelching of
the third term talk the president

No Holes In The Lid

Little Falls dry Sunday is certainly
unpopular with number Of the men
attached to Pawnee Bill's circus which
arrived here Sunday morning, says
the Transcript. AS usual the men
received their weeks pay Saturday
night and not having time to get rid
of much of it in Bemidji after the
show, looked forward to good time
here. Their chagrin was great on
finding a closed town and they ex-
pressed their profound disapproval
heartily. A number of the Iaborers
had great thirst and especially in the
evening might have been seen wander
ing around looking for prescriptions
for various ailments, the treatment of
which demanded alcoholic stimulant.
They were unsuccessful in their quest,
however, and were forced to wait for
the morning before allaying their
thirst. No holes in the lid were dis
covered.
