RAILROAD MAN
Didn't Like Being Starved.

A man running on a railroad has tC
be in good condition all the time or he
is liable to do harm to himself and
others.
A clear head is necessary to run a
locomotive or conduct a train. Even
railroad mans appetite and diges-
tion are matters of importance, as the
clear brain and steady hand result
from the healthy appetite followed by
the proper digestion of food.
For the past five years." writes a
railroader, 81 have been constantly
troubled with indigestion. Every doc
tor 1 consulted seemed to want to
starve me to death. First was diet

would let me eat, the Indigestion
would be right back again.

BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought in Irishman's Mind Af-
ter the Accident.

Railroad claim-agents have little
faith in their fellow creatures. One
said recently: every time l settle a
claim with one of these hard-headed
rural residents who wants the rail-
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher if he gets sheep
killed, think of this story, illustra-
tive of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into a ditch, overturned,
and they were both stunned. When
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one of them said was:
Where's the train?' Why, there's no
train around he was told. Then
where's the railroad" The nearest
railroad is three miles away he
learned. Well, WE'LL he commented
I knew it hit us pretty hard, but L
didn't suppose it knocked us three

The Social Sense.

An enthusiastic teacher in the slum
district of a large city once gathered
her flock and led them to a vacant lot,
where she proposed they should create
their own playground. The idea was
received with wild enthusiasm, and
the youngsters fell to work with will
removing stones and debris. In the
midst of the excitement a large boy
was needed to move particularly OBJ
stinate stone.
Smith, Smith," called the teacher
to one of her star pupils, come and
help us"
The boy came with seeming reluct-
ance, and having removed the stone,
drew the teacher aside.
Say, teacher" he begged, please
don't call me Smith,
"Why, what am 1 to call you?" she
asked in establishment.
"Schmitty, please, teacher. You see,
I'm Smith in society; but, here, I'm

George had been away on business

Breaking the News With an AK.

Captain Pritchard of the Mauretania
was talking about sailors.

you ever hear about the sailor and the
parrot?
well, once upon a time an old lady
was returning from abroad with par
rot, of which she was very fond. She
intrusted the bird, with many admon-
itions to a sailor for the voyage.
"Seasickness, or something, killed
the parrot the third day out. The sail
or, knowing how upset the old lady
would be, could not bring himself to
tell her the sad tidings, but asked a
companion, famous for his skill in
such matters, to break the bad news to
her very, very gently. The man as
sented.
"And approaching the old lady with
tragical face, the famous news
breaker touched his cap and said:

MANY JESSUP
LEASES signed

RENO, New, March 10.-The new
camp of Jessup, in White Canyon
townsite, is now coming to the front
with startling discoveries in ore bod
les and promises to rival Rawhide
as a center of interest for mining
men in Nevada The throng of travel
is beginning to go that way, lots are
selling fast. and much attention is
given to the letting of leases and the
rushing of development work. Five
leases were signed up yesterday for
work to commence in April About
twenty-five people arrived at the new
camp yesterday, and the automobile
service line from Huxley, the railroad
carrying passengers. There are eight
buildings in the camp and several
more in course of construction
Rudy Cunningham of Alaska early
this week purchased the Three Dan
dies group and the Lookout group
from Otis Stewart, one of the pio-
neers of Jessup. 1t is stated that
the sum paid was considerably more
than $4,000 and that it was cash
sale. The new owner is already de-
veloping the properties, preparatory
to taking out ore for shipment. A
rich strike was made on the surface
of the Hopkins property and many
men of the camp declare that it is
the greatest strike ever made in Jes-
sup. The ore is filled with free gold
and will assay several hundred dol
lars to the ton.

pected to continue with increased vigor.
Some, however, contend that it would
be better not to have q university sup
ported by the state, but to have private
Or endowed schools and charge tuition.
That is exactly what is done here in the
eastern states. The result is that they
become largely schools for rich mems
sons. The poor boys and girls cannot
afford to pay the tuition necessary to
maintain such q school. Let us take,
for example, Cornell university, which
am now attending. The tuition, on an
average, is nearly $3.50 per year. The
total tuition paid by the 1900 students is
about $600,OO0. The last legislature
gave to the University of Missouri for
purposes of maintenance for two Years
approximately the same amount. Thus
Cornell, with less than twice as many
students, gets as much from tuition
alone in one year as does Missouri for
entire maintenance in two years. Can
you wonder that it is a rich boys school,
as compared with ours? To prevent that
very thing the Missouri legislature has
passed laws preventing the university
from charging tuition, except an Incl
dental fee OF 81 lSlO in law and medi-
cine).
Still, some say that in spite of the free
tuition the state university is d school
for the wealthy alone. wish to state,
once for all, that it is not true. know
the students and also know that a vast
majority OF them come from families in
very moderate circumstances. Every
year hundreds earn a portion of their
expenses and many earn all. If may
be pardoned for referring to myself, I
will say that | earned half my expenses
during the three years that was there.
Any boy who will prepare himself in
the lower schools can find a way to at
tend the university.
1t is also charged that the salary paid
the teachers is too high. lnreply wish
to call attention to the fact that those
men have to spend years in preparing
themselves for their work. Seven years
Of university work is necessary to pre-
pare a man for an instructors place
only, much more for a professors. But
more important still is the fact that
many neighboring universities-Illinois
Michigan, etc, pay higher salaries than
we and so take away our best teachers.
Even Texas has called some of our best
men at higher salaries than we pay. Do
we want to lose our best men to Illinois
and Texas?
Neither is it true, as sometimes stated,
that the professors do not teach enough
hours-though of course they do not
teach as many actual hours as man in

the high school. How can they when
their work requires SO much more specia!
preparation from day to day?
| ought 10 say a few words concerning
discipline. Certainly there is more free
dom in the university than in the COM
mon schools. The students are Young
men and young women. and the univer-
! sity trusts them to do right until they
do wrong. Most OF the students respond
nobly to this trust, though there are
some wild, rough fellows, as there are
IN every school. These trough necks,"
as we called them, once made it their
business to haze the new students. but
that has all been stopped by the students
themselves. There has not, to the best
OF my knowledge, been a single case OF
hazing for more than two years. 1t was
also chiefly owing to the efforts OF the
students that saloons were voted out in
Columbia. Few church schools can show
such a record
The university doesn't support any
particular church or creed. The presi-
,
one of the broadest minded and most
sympathetic men | have ever known.
Moreover, a large number Of the faculty
are church workers. | know OF no place
in the world where one can get more in
spiration to live the grandest and best
life possible than in the halls OF the
University of Missouri.
We ought to be proud of our univer-
sity. 1t belongs to us all. 1t has grown
more rapidly in the last few years than
any other university in the United
States. Half a dozen years ago 1t had
less than 1000 students, last year it had
more than $500. There is no reason why
boys and girls from Bollinger county
should not attend it just as we'll as those
from any other county. The university
accepted my work from Will Mayfield
college, and it has since done the same
thing for three other persons. Very re-
spectfully, c.. II. WILLIAMS.
