NO HACKS FOR PROM GIRLS
Nebraska and Wisconsin Universi-

Junior Week.

The men students in the universities Of
Wisconsin and Nebraska nave i~nauguratsd
reforms that will cut down the expenses OF
attending the prom-week festivities.
Nebraska suggested first that the college
men who live near the place where the
dance is held should not hire hacks, and
in that way make the affair more demo-
cratic. Wisconsin followed suit and 1t was
agreed hat udents living within three
blocks of the gymnasium should not hire
carriages for the girls of their choice UNI
less the weather made It necessary.
1t Is suggested at Wisconsin hat this
will work a hardship for those young men
who are accustomed to put In an item OF

OF one young man at Madison that he and

'FIeHTING BOB0 AS LECTURER
Rear Admiral Evans eat Home" on
the Platform as on the
Quarterback.

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans promises
to become as great a success on the lecture
platform as he has been on the quarter
deck. For two hours Friday evening he
held the rRpt interest OF an audience that
comfortably filled Carnegie hall, while he
told them in a delightfully."- easy CONVERSE
tionsl manner the story Of how he took the
battleship fleet from Hampton Roads to
San francisco.
The retired sea fighters lecture, though
conversational in style, bristled with cpl
gram and was plentifully punctuated with
wit and humor, so that throughout every
moment OF the two hours his audience was
kept In a rare good humor.
In beginning his lecture, the rear admiral
requested his audience to permit him to sit
while he talked. II have some souvenirs
Of the civil war;" he said, and tonight
they are troubling me so acutely that 1 am
reminded that II l stand at all I'd better
stand on my head Speaking Of the i'm
portance of popularizing the naval spirit,
he said: II thank you for your welcome,
and l want to say that there can be no
more patriotic duty than to join the Navy
league OF the United states and find out
what your navy really means. Most persons
think that we are a lot Of good fellows,
junketing about the world, with a sweet
heart In every port and a bottle of wine in
every trunk-and l must admit that there is
some of that, 100" he said, while his hear
ers laughed heartily.
when the order came from Washington
just before we got away to send ashore all
the men whose terms were to expire within
three months that was a heartbreaker for
US. 1t meant that one-third OF the men who
were to man the fleet and point the guns
were to be raw country boys just from the
plows Of the western f~arms-boys so green
that a COW would bite at them as they
passed along the street. But these Ameri-
can boys have a marvellous aptitude for
the gun pointing game. They soon learn
their lesson. They were the boys who
have made those records for straight shoot
Ing that you have since heard of in the
target practice in Magdalena and Manila
bays. They only had to be licked into shape
and that was our job. / wish l could take
$1,000 boys out of the streets of New York
today and put them on board ship and let
them find out who is the boss, and when
they would come back out Of their terms
OF service they would be better and more
reliable citizens. And II we should happen
to go to war later you would find all thoso
boys coming back to the battleships If we
needed them"
Enumerating the stores Of pro-
visions taken aboard the vessels of the
fleet, the admiral caused a laugh when he
said there were no less than twenty-five
tons OF the best American candy. Now
said he, you may guess from that III
sailors have a very sweet tooth, but that
candy was not for them at all. 1t was for
the sweethearts they were to find on their
cruise around the world. 1t is a fact that
every pretty girl who came aboard received
a box OF candy prettlly decorated, as a
souvenir from the bluejackets."-New York

PASSING OF THE POST BOY
His Picture No Longer EnIivens
the Special Delivery
Stamp.

The historic post boy passed into history
New Years day with the arrival of a new
assortment of special delivery stamps, which
bear designs minus the mythical youth on
a bicycle. Post boys themselves were oboI-
ished from the service about two years
ago, but the design of the boy riding a
wheel was retained on the special deliver
stamps. The new stamps are smaller than
the old ones and are scarcely bigger than
the new f|ifteen-cent issues.
Since the beginning of the postal system
there has been a place in It's heart for
the post boy. 1t was the post boy of our
grandmothers and grandfathers who de-
livered the mail at all times Of the year.
and whose picture adorned the early issues
of stamps. Through softness of heart, the
government at Washington allowed his
figure to be kept on the special delivery
stamps, but now he has to go. The early
stamps pictures him riding at breakneck
speen on a horse, the later ones puts him on
a railroad train or mail cart, then he ran
on foot for a while, and then he was given
a bicycle.
When it came time for the new stamps
the officials were confronted with the prob
lem OF a boyless mail service. All the post
office clerks are men more than twenty-one
years old, and even the substitutes who stay
in the office during the summer have
to pass civil service examinations The
boy has no place in the modern postoffice,
although his elimination has been com
pleted only with the last few years.
The new style stamp IL much different
from the old. 1t is much more conspicuous
being green in color. with glaring edges
that catch the eye. Since the order was
issued in Washington doing away with
the necessity OF purchasing special delivery
stamps there has been a total falling off OF
about 100000 special delivery stamps. 1t
Is advised by officials at the postoffice
that special delivery stamps be used on
letters instead OF using the ordinary ones,
as they quickly catch the eye of the men
handling them and are sure of being recog-
nized,-Springfield Union.
