When Flowers Die.

When flowers die
The breezes sigh.
The wild birds sing,
And the sweet faces kiss the sod
And breathe their fragrant souls to
God.
Each gentle spirit

Should heaven inherit.
For where is creature good and fair
As are these children of the air,
So gently may
We swoon and sleep
In that great day
When we shall gaze into the sky
And breathe our last, like flowers die.

Valuable Advice.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
The student who is so fortunate as
to have three girl friends here on High
School Day should introduce them to
some of us unlucky fellows who will
be without girls. We would take
them to the track meet, explain the
different events to them in simple,
childlike way. and afterwards show
them the sights of interest around the
campus.
If a fellow is walking along the
campus with two or three girls, and
wants them to meet some of his best
friends. he can flash the Come Quick
Distress signal One wink to said
friend means walk around the campus
and tip Your hat. I'll stop and give
You an introduction Two winks
means to brin" another man along.
That will permit the fortunate stu
dent to take his steady girl. He can
introduce her as one of his teachers.

There is no doubt that McGraw

demand of $4,000 to finish the season
seems to be out of all proportion to
the great batsman's ability. and Nc
Graw is not the only one that views
Donlin's refusal to play with the

There can be no doubt that DOnln'S
head has been swelled considerably by
the amount of money he made out of
his vaudeville tour. 1t is stated that
Mike gathered in 5000 simoIeons for
his eight weeks tour and he can not
get it out of his crop that he should
receive as much more for eight weeks
service on the diamond. That Donln
is foolish in making such demand
goes without saying. Mike is no spring
chicken, and it may be that next sea-
son, even if he should wish to play
with the Giants, he will be traded to
some minor league club. or else return
to vaudeville. No one accuses Mike
of being an actor. His vaudeville sue
