"A Guide for Walkers

Why not think of planning a day
off and getting out nearer nature?
Columbia is exceedingly well situa-
ted for one who likes to take long
walks, because of the many good
gravel roads leading to nearby towns
Probably the most popular jour-
ney-by-foot is to Rocheport, four
teen miles away. The well-kept grav-
ei road leads one along the bluffs of
the Missouri river with their oaks
and elms. A few miles south of the
town there are several caves.
To Ashland, fifteen miles away,
one finds an all-gravel road over
which the veteran pedestrian gener-
ally makes good time. This walk
has been made in three hours, an
average of five miles an hour. A
continuation of this trip is to Clays-
vile, a town on the Katy, ten miles
beyond Ashland. One can also go
ten miles farther and reach Jeffer-
son City, thirty-five miles from Co
lGmbia. The walk to Jefferson City
has been made in nine hours.
A twelve-mile walk is to Provi-
dence. Here one will pass the Jewell
cemetery. There is a gravel road
most of the way. Often persons
walk to Fulton, twenty-five miles
due east of here over an all-gravel
road. At Fulton there is the Insane
Asylum and the school for the Deaf
and Dumb. On this trip one crosses
Cedar Creek about twelve miles out.
Centralia is twenty-five miles
away. A part of this distance is
often walked by students. McBaine,
eight and one-half miles Off, is easily
over the Katy tracks.

"EAT EN- UP, TIGERS"

The Missouri Tiger is no circus
trained, painted-dog imitation of a
Tiger. He is a genuine, old, striped
Bengal king and becomes ferocious
when he sees a series of white lines
on a field with perpendicular posts
and cross bars at each end.
The Tiger lost his sharpest claw
in making a meal off Miner in Rol-
Inns Jungle but he showed up real fe-
rocious-like at Ames and came off Q
c'ose second despite his missing fang.
By next Saturday he ought to be in
condition to feast off the fattened
Cornhuskers, and the Oklahoma
Sooner will serve as a light lunch.
Jayhawk is the favOrite food of this
jingle king, and November 25 he
is going to eat enough to sustain him
Z full year.
The Tiger has lots of friends. The
f Lows gather in places where smoke
oils and white balls click to talk
)out his condition and prospects.
: he girls admire him from afar, or
s.nd him home at 10 o'clock, and are
ry much interested in his welfare.
hree months of the year he is
uch talked of animal and his only
eal enemies are a few college profess
sors who really mean very well.

STUDENT PRANK OF 81

How BEG Pardon" Made Trouble
for an Unpopular "PrOf."
The present generation of students
is told that away back in the early
days tricks were performed that
were real tricks.
Prof. B. F. Hoffman tells of a
prank which the engineers played
when he was a student at the Univer-
sity in 1884.
A doctor Spencer, professor of
geology. had become unpopular with
the students. He was a kind and
genial man. and a brilliant scholar.
but it seemed that he was not much
o. teacher. Doctor Spencer was a
Canadian and used the expression
Beg pardon which at that time was
little known in Missouri.
Some engineer painted a life-size
portrait of Doctor Spencer on canvas.
This was suspended as a curtain in
the chapel and one morning when a
literary society was giving an open
program the trap was pulled and the
canvas fell before the eyes of the
audience. There was the painting of
the unpopular professor of geology
and at the bottom in large red let
ters. Beg pardon
THE incident created great ex-
citement. The authorities tried to
ind the jOkers but were not success
ful. 1t would have meant certain
expulsion"

Everybody whistled. The key
rasped in the lock on the big iron
door of the Columbia city Jail. The
door opened and the pucker left each
OF six darky mouths. The visitor
entered.
How do you do. sir,". said the
talkative negro. Suppose you are
just looking around. Well. We are
all happy. Why shouldn't We be?
You know Mr.. Ashlock, the turnkey,
he treats us niggers mighty good"
Some of the prisoners sat on the
floor, and played solitaire. Others
lOunged on a bench that ran along
the wall on either side of the stove.
One prisoner was securely locked
in a cell.
"Introductions are now in order. +"
said the talkative negro.
There were Clarence Thomas,
crap-shooter, Is days to serve; Le-
roy Busch, crap-shOOter, 13 days;

Shall WE PROHIBIT WILLS?

This is a day of fads in govern
nent and of novel schemes for re-
forming mankind. The disposition
and ability of a few to accumulate
vast fortunes and pass them on in
tact, has furnished cause for COM
paint and many have sought a rem
ely. The evils flowing from over
concentration of wealth are legion
AMI a working solution of the prob
lem deserves the best thought of the
nation.
The inheritance tax has not sue
c.edel appreciably in breaking up
/. ge estatts. The tax might be in
| easei, but rich men could defeat it
l. distributing their property be-
e, instead of after death. To fix
an al bitrary limit upon what a citi-
zon may possess, is impracticable.
Changes in corporation laws may
help but will not reach the root of
the evil.
There is a solution. 1t is drastic
but simple. When other plans fail,
prohibit the making of wills. Then,
under our laws, all property would
Ee parcelled out among the heirs
This would break up the great for
tunes and they would be again di-
vided upon the death of the various
heirs. The right to control DISPOSE
tion of ones property after death is
conferred by statute and is of COM
paratively recent origin. 1t has not
been many centuries since children
only enjoyed a preference right to
buy the property of their de-
ceased father. This would be merely
applying an old practice to a modern
problem.
The Missourian does not say that
this is the best remedy but it would
break up the big fortunes.

MADE THE BOWERY A STUDY

Richard Watson Glider, the Century
Editor. Stole Into the District.
One summer evening not very long
ago l saw, to my intense surprise,
Mr.. Richard Watson Glider crawl
cautiously through the barbed wire
fence which was long ago stretched
with his sanction, across the city at
Union City. Once within the ia
booed district, the distinguished
poet and Century editor cast an ap-
prehensive glance about him and
then marched swiftly and resOlutely
down the Bowery. Late that night
7 caught another glimpse of him
standing in the middle of one of the
side streets that lead to the East Riv-
er and gazing thOughtfully at the
tops of the tall tenement houses on
either side of him.

strange errand had brought him to
that crowded quarter of the town,

its social life as had been portrayed,
more or less truthfully and vividly,
in the pages of Mr.. elders own mag

was still marveling at the spec
tacle of the poet in search of facts
when 1 came across one of my East
Side acquaintances, who had seen
and recognized the Century editor,
and from him l learned that he was
pursuing his studies of what is
known in the magazine Offices as
low life," not that he might write
about it or be capable of judging the
manuscript of those who did write
about it. but by virtue of his Office
on the tenement house commission.
