APPETITES

The Anglo-SaXon race is prone to pc
culiarities and eccentricities of diet. At
dinner table it is interesting t..
to watch ones fellow guests and note
what they take and what they decline.
and the most striking results are OBJ
tanned by observing a party of English
men and women at the table dhote in
a .oreign land. One section abhOrs ON
elets, another is equally emphatic in re-
fusing Italian pastes, maearoni, and the
IKE. while others declare that the sight
Of oil-dressed salad inspires nausea.
Some take cheese and fruit, Others do
not. But the noteworthy feature in
this pick choose dietary is the sol
emnity with which the idiOsyncrasy is
asserted, with an accent of sincerity
which betokens the consciousness of
merit. 1t is not merely question of
disliking this or that article of food,
the tone is such as to cast aspersions
on all who think otherwise. If, by way
of contrast, we watch foreigners at
dinner We shall be struck by the fact
that while they may vary as to guam
tity, old and young alike partake of
the dishes in due sequence. Why is that
the English stomach in general shows
such antipathy to olive OIL which is
the ordinary culinary fat in so many
parts of the world. How is it that the
Englishman, who revels in such light
delicacies as roly poly pudding, fights
shy of nouilles and vermicelf! One eX-
planation may be that children in many
families are allowed to pick and choose,
or. at any rate, to express approval or
dislike. license which bears pernicious
fruit in later life. 1t may be added
that in no country is the culinary field
as limited as in England. In France
they make use OF numerous vegetables
and foodstuffs unknown across the
Channel-British Medical Journal.

GET BUSY AND WIN.

Every student should have his voice
in good condition for the cheering
Thanksgiving. The report of the game
will be read by everybody in Missouri
and Kansas and We won't like to have
it said that the Jayhawks outcheered
their opponents. The student should
tie his hat on army fashion, else he
will find it has gone up into the air
and fallen under the bleachers when
Missouri makes a touchdown. He
should stand next to a small person so
that when his neighbor gets excited and
hits him on the back the result will
not be severe.
Everyone will stand up when the ex-
citement begins, hence the small stu
dent should be there at daylight (more
or lessl to get a front seat. The stu
dent should tie a string around his fin
ger to remind him that he brought his
girl to the game. He will forget all
about her during the game land she
about HIM but when it is over she will
need his help to get home through the
crowd at the park and on the car. When
the game is over the student who came
alone should walk down town to wear
away his joy and surplus energy.
The crowd coming back to school will
be a tired but happy bunch. They will
have had the time of their lives and
would not lave missed it at any cost.
But now and then their thoughts run for
ward to the football reception, and they
remember that there is a good time in
social activities as we'll as in athletics.

RULES is RULES

Germany, as is we'll known, is much
governed country. The policemen there
not only keep order, but go far out of
their way to make people tread the
straight and narrow path. Bicycle reg
ulations, for instance, are very stringent
in German cities. A bicyclist, after
proving that he can ride by means of a
test under the eyes of solemn judges.
must furthermore, after he has obtained
his official permit, subject to voluminous
and complicated regulations. To be-
gin with, he must have a number. This
number, according to his rule book
(which he must always carry), ''is to
be affixed to the bicycle in plain view.
both on the front handlebar and on the
tool box under the saddle" Once an
American, who had just obtained his
permit, decided that it would be more
convenient for him to carry his tool
box on the front handlebar But know
ing that his number must be affixed
under the saddle, in order to be seen
from behind. he carefully hung it there
by means of Il couple of wires. Then he
sailed courageously forth. He had
hardly travelled half a dozen blocks be-
fore he was stopped by stern police
man.
You are not observing the rules of BIZ
cycling" said the latter solemnly.
The foreigner looked bewildered.
But l have the number in front of
my bicycle and behind, too"
The regulations read that the num-
Der in the back should be affixed to the
tool box" said the officer, eyeing the
number hung from the two wires with
immense disapproval.
And do you mean to say that. Just
because the rule is worded that wav.
l am obliged, whether I desire it or not.
to carry my tool box under the saddle."
Il do
Argument was useless. The police
man would not allow the foreign BIZ
cyclist to proceed until the latter had
solemnly promised to restore the tool
box, duly numbered, to it's proper posi-
tion as soon as he reached home.-New

Spirit Not Quotation.

MIR. Charles p. johnson regrets the
disappearance of eloquence. He says no
great criminal lawyer ever lived who
did not study Shakespeare as diligently
as ne studied Blackstone, and every
appeal to jury was full of quotations
from the great dramatist.
Perhaps the great lawyers and politi-
cal spellbinders of the past worked the
poet too hard. Oratory is like a good
dinner Substantial dishes make the real
meal. Angel food and lady fingers are
well enough in their way, but they don't
fill up and make a man feel satisfied
with himself. Shakespeare has fed many
great minds, but probably. to the ma
jority of orators, he is never anything
but book of quotations from which
the speaker takes pretty poses but no
thought. Such oratory became conven-
tiOnal. The quotation marks were too
plainly visible. 1t was sometimes pleas
ing. occasionally persuasive. but never
compelling. Bob Ingersoll was the last
of these orators. He picked pretty flow
ers from all the poets. Some he used
fresh. some he painted bit, all of them
he scattered about with a generosity
born of the perfect knowledge that there
We're plenty more where they came from.
But nobody ever took Bob seriously. 1t
is doubtful if he ever produced any last
ing impression on any human brain and
certain that he never carried conviction
to single human heart Habitual quo
tiers seldom get below the surface of
things. And Your plain. average man,
while he may be amused by pretty out
side has healthy suspicion that there
is nothing but wind inside the gorgeous
bubble.
A speaker who sleeps his soul in Shake
speare and Milton until he makes their
thought his own will utter it with his
own vocabulary. The poet will not be
a crutch for him to hobble about on,

Animals Memory.

The elephants memory is proverb-
ial, said F. Martin Duncan, F. z. s.. at
the New Gallery Photographic Exhibi-
tiOn. but that of other beasts of the
jungle is hardly less noteworthy"
Tigers in captivity always remember a
kindness and recognize a friend. even
after the lapse of months. Lions which
have been in a geological garden for
years have also been known to show
signs of abject fear when visited by ma
tive hunters from the country where
they had their early home.-London

WHAT EDITORS
ARE SAYING
Palma And Cuba.

Thomas Estrada Palma, ex-president
of Cuba, deserved kinder fortunes than
befell him, since he was well meaning,
patriotic and unselfish. He failed as
president. was compelled to invoke the
intervention of the United States, and
passed the last two years of his life in
great popular disfavor, regarded by the
MOderates as one who had mismanaged
their cause and by the Liberals as hav-
ing brought in the stranger, after de-
frauding them of victory at the polls.
Whether Palma deserved all the criti-
cism passed upon him by errors or faults
of commission, no doubt exists that he
was not qualified to be at the helm of
the Cuban ship of state on it's first voy-
age under its own flag. A ripened
scholar, he had been absent from Cuba
twenty-four years when he entered upon
the presidency. He came from cloistered
calm to be the executive of a people
naturally turbulent and flushed by re-
cent deliverance from hostile rule. He
crisis after crisis, and finally
succumbed under circumstances so humi-
liating that recollection of them will
probably long obscure to Cubans his
self sacrifice his unquestionable services
and his unquestiOnably good intentions.

Mr.. johnson has convinced the iudc-
ment Tor added the Wits of MANY

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
/ see by the University Missourian
that students are to present DIR. Gold
smiths classic comedy "She Stoops to
Conquer" This is indeed a laudable
undertaking. A classical play has not
been produced by University talent for

dan and johnson, we have had "Jane,

and other ephemeral farces.
Surely "She Stoops to Conquer" is a
stride in the right direction. L.

RECEIVERS VAlU-
ABLE LAND TRACT
Supreme Court Decides in Fovor of
Silver SerumQard

BY a decision of the North Dakota
supreme court, Silver Serumgard, of
this city will have an opportunity
to redeem a valuable tract of land To-
Gated on the outskirts of Rugby. The
case is that of the North Dakota
Horse and Cattle company VS.. Silver
Serumgard. There are two conflict
ing claims. The Horse and Cattle COM
pany claimed that they were entitled
to the tract, having redeemed the land.
Serumgard sought to redeem the land
on subsequent mortgage. Judge c.
J. Fisk upheld the cattle company and
ruled that Serumgard was too late.
From the district court an appeal was
taken to the supreme court, where the
case was argued three times About
year ago the supreme court handed
down a decision upholding Judge Fisk,
of the district court. Justices Morgan
and Spalding favored this decision
and Judge C. F. Templeton, who sat In
place of Justice Fisk, disqualified, dis
sented. A rehearing was granted af-
ter arguments, and the case was again
argued last September. The final de-
cision, just handed down, holds that
Serumgard had right to redeem the
land. In this decision all concur.
