Never praise the Singer

What to him the sound?
What your eyes fond flashes?

To his deepset bower.

~HARLES NJ. HARGER, head OF

I the Department OF Journalism Oh
- the University of Kansas, writes
from Lawrence, of the universit!
NHssourian: 1T is a very creditable
paper. You are doing newspaper
teaching in the most satisfactory way.
/ have recently visited the Leland
Stanford and Utah universities ana
found that the teaching of journalism
appeals strongly to the Pacific coast
educators, although they have as yet
done nothing definite in that line.
THE Washington-M Missouri football
game in Columbia last Saturday
afforded the University MissOurian
reasons for issuing an extra, when
contained full report OF the game
and was on the streets five minutes
after the conclusion of the struggle.
1t was a newspaper stunt that immor-
talized the MissOurian and demonstra-
ted to students OF journalism that 1t
is possible to print the news while 1t
is news.-Ashland Bugle.
The University of Missouri has gone
practically ahead with what Joseph
Pulitzer of the New York World sew
eral years since made a great sensa-
ton in proposing to do and who then
ostensibly set aside several hundreds
of thousands or millions to accomplish.
The matter was greatly discussed at
the time and it's timeliness and feasi-
bility were universally recognized.
The University of Missouri, however,
without any display of bunting or
blare of trumpets practically took up
the matter, recognized its applicability
and necessity in the university curric-
ulum and have established a School OF
Journalism that will demonstrate its
great value and want in this progress
i've age.
Journalism is quite as much pro-
fession as the law or theology or the
highest ranks of literature and needs
as thorough and minute a training.
Again, journalism is as we'll paid as
any of the professions and is expand
ing in influence, power and demand
even more rapidly than any other.
Young men or boys teaching the
thinking age, contemplating it or
studying the field of human endeavor
for a chosen sphere, and selecting 1t
cannot make an investment that will
so absolutely secure their future as
to take this course in journalism.
Were our life to be lived over again
we should attend this school. We
should seek this thorough grounding
in this great profession. The course
eontemplates the requirement of a
thorough education, fitting man for
almost any sphere in life, if the prac-
tice of journalism is not adhered to.
The expense is trifing. No tuition
is charged by the University. Those at
all interested, young men, ambitious
BOYS, and those above their majority,
desiring better equipment for their
work. should write the University of
Missouri for fuller informatiOn.-From
the Bessemer (Alabama) Weekly.

Aged Convicts.

The Frankfort penitentiary
now has nine convicts who are
over 80 years old, the last to be
locked up there being Joseph
Cook, who is IS years old. He
was sent from Whitley county
for the murder Of his wife and,
although the evidence was
strongly against him, on account
of this age, the jury gave him
only five years. He murdered
his wife, it was shown, without
provocation about four years ago.
During the last few weeks four
convicts over 80 years of age
have been received at the prison,
but Cook is the oldest man ever
received there. He is in fairly
good health and we'll preserved
for his age. He will be given
light employment, as the five
years Imprisonment, the chances
being a hundred to one that he
will not live out his sentence.

Southern hospitality is proverbially
generous. In 1.-THE Old Dominion Mr.
Thomas Nelson Page recounts an in
stance showing that this hospitality
was not always appreciated. A guest
asked the loan of horse to carry him
to his next stopping place, a town
which lay at considerable distance.
The host accordingly lent him his
horse and sent along q negro boy-it
was before the war-to bring the horse
back.
After several days the boy was still
missing, and some one was sent to
hunt him up. The messenger found
him at last and demanded why he had
not returned with the horse.
"'Cause dat gent'man done sell de
horse" was the reply.
"Well, why didn't you come back
and say so?'
Hi! He done sell me, too" said the
boy.
