BIackbonrds and BibIes.

With the decrease in the views as good
selling articles, the students have taken
up the patent blackboards and Bibles.
These are found to sell as fast as the
views used to, and consequently the
college students still retain a profit
able field for the summers work.
Young men who go into this work dur
ing the vacation months meet with some
interesting and often rather discourage
ing experiences. A Nebraska student
who was in the business a few years ago
got into more trouble than usually is the
share of the canvasser.
He chose as his field the territory in
and around Kansas City and Leaven-
worth, Kan. He landed in Armourdale,
a suburb OF Kansas City, Kan, in the
summer of 1906, just after all the joints
in that city and in other towns of Kan
sas had been closed, and Governor Hoch
was strictly enforcing the law to keep
the lid on.
In Armourdale the citizens were run
ming several 'blind pigs and the gov
ernor was reported to have several spot
tiers working in the town. The citizens
who were getting their booze at these
places did not want the govern
ment to interfere with them and were
on the lookout for spoilers. They
threatened to fill with lead the first one
they caught. They were suspicious of
all strangers.

Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-21

The Nebraska student who was SELL
ing views had been in the town but a
few lays before he attracted the atten-
ton of the saloon element. He vas at
once picked out as a spotter. Tit sa-
loonmen thought his canvassing business
was simply a pretext to get him protee-
ton.
Their suspicious were strengthened
when one day he visited the home of an
attorney who was the representative of
Governor Hoch in that city. He went
there simply to sell views, but the sa-
loonmen, who were watching his move
ments. thought he was there to consult
with the attorney regarding some action
against the blind pigs"
On the night of the day he visited the
attorneys home the student, as he was
going to his room, noticed he was fol-
lowed by a man whose right arm was
missing. At the time ne CAV this Incl
dent no Importance, but the next day
he learned that he had been Swallowed.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-21

Before he had eaten breakfast on the
following day, he was visited by. a oitizen
Of Armourdale, who directly accused him
Of being one of Governor HOch's spies
and warned him to get out OF town.
The student protested that he had moth
ing to do with the "spotting business" but
he could not convince the Armourdale man
Of his innocence in the matter. The visitor
left with the final words that he had bet
ter leave town before dark or there would
be trouble for him.
Whether there would have been trouble
or not the student did not learn, for before
the sun went down that night he was in
Kansas City, MO, where he was perfectly
safe from the irate citizens OF Armour
dale.
II is a very common thing for the col
lege men during their canVssslng to be
kicked out Of houses or to have the police
called to put them out.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-21

This particular student who had the ex-
perience at Armourdale was once led out
of a yard In Leavenworth by a deputy
sheriff. The deputy was not called in to
put him out, but happened to be on hand
when the student called, the place being
his home.
The canvasser stepped up TO the side
door OF the deputy's home. and peering
through the screen, called to the woman OF
the house, who was sitting in a rocker,
asking her II she wanted to buy any views.
She said no. Just then her husband, who
was the deputy. appeared at the rear door,
and, looking across the room, said that
was right-they did not want to buy any
views.
The student was persistent in his nature
and once more he asked to be permitted to
show the woman his views. The husband
at the rear door said nothing, neither did
his wife, He did. however. hurry round
to the side door, and taking the student
by the arm. showed him TO the gate and
told him never to come back.

Spring Song.

Now winter sees his power wane.
And rising up betimes,
Departs with al his gloomy train.
For mere congeniaI climes;
Throughout the reawakeDed land
A milder reign is sung.
And thus We clearly understand
That gentle sprins" has sprung"
The streamlet breaks the icy hush
Wrought by the north wind keen,
And nature with artistic brush
Now paints the landscape green;
Upon the boughs the buds come out
Where late icicles clunS,
Which goes TO prove beyond a doubt
That gentle spring has sprung"
The birds that vanished with the leaves
Now daily reappear,
And chirp and chatter round the caves
or summers coming cheer,
While each nest-building conference
The blooming groves among
Affords conclusive evidence
Thar gentle spring has Sprung"

An important step toward stopping
the waste Of the fuel resources OF the
country has been taken by the United
States geological survey in its tests OF
the Goals of the Rocky mountain region
at the government plant in Denver,
Col. At that plant the purpose has
been to determine what Goals of this
region are capable of making coke
that can be used by the great metal.
lurgic interests of the west. OF 81
Goals tested, the government experts
succeeded in producing good coke from
all but three, though a number OF
these Goals had never been known to
be capable of making coke. These re-
suits, which will prove of much impor-
lance to the west in the next few
years, were obtained by following out
a carefully prepared treatment Of the
Goals. Each of the Goals was washed
In order to get rid of the ash, sulphur
and other impurities which prevent
the making of coke that is of any use
In metallurgical work. The washing
tests not only prepared these Goals so
that they made good coke, but also
demonstrated the fact that many Goals
of the west which have too much ash
and sulphur to be used economically
under a steam boiler may be rendered
Of commercial value through such
treatment.
