YELL!

Editor The Missourian: Yes We
have good yell leaders this year. but
what good are they if the students
don't yell? When a yell leader says
to yell the New Yell" or nine rahs
for the Tigers" he means it and his
English is clear Or is it? From the
noticeable lack of yelling Saturday one
would think the yell leader had in
structed the rooters to keep quiet and
not to yell. What if we did whip Cen
trail by large score, we ought to get
into practice SO when a sure enough
game is played we will know how to
yell. Of course Missouri is going to
win this year but there will be times
when we will have to yell and yell
hard too. By all means back your yell
leaders or when the time comes for
you to yell you won't have any leaders
to lead you. HIS.

A RELIC OF OLD COLUMBIA
House at Walnut and Orr Streets was Famous
Boarding Place-Once Held by
Federal Troops.

At Walnut and Orr streets, in this
city, stands an old-fashioned two
story house whose walls have been
whitened by the storms of nearly sew
enty years. Around it is woven the
history of one of COlumbia's oldest
and most distinguished families-that
of the late James E. johnson.
Mrs. j. c. Quarles of 200 Orr street
is the present owner of the property,
which has been vacant since the first
of the year. Mrs. Quarles' father,
James Entrekin johnson, came to Co.
lumbia with his parents from George
town, Ky, in 1888, and in 1853, hav-
ing married, he purchased a consid-
cradle plot of ground on which stood
the low brick house which forms a
part of the present structure. The
ground was purchased by Henry Cave,
one of the pioneers of Boone county
Soon after buying the property Mr.
Johnson built an addition to the
front of the original brick building,
thus making up the house as it stands
today. The addition was fitted up with
large fireplace in one end, as was
customary with nearly all houses
built before the war, the massive brick
chimney being built on the outhide.
The part of the house erected by
Mr.. Johnson was built OF native lum-
ber, mostly walnut, and in spite of
the ravages of time it is in a splendid
state of preservation. The timbers,
instead of decaying, have become as
hard as flint and the flooring and
doors especially are seemingly as
solid as the day they were made.
Since the day NJ. Johnson bought
it the property has never changed
hands. The deed which has been pre-
served with other papers by his
daughters, is interesting because of
it's queer phraseology and the meth
DDS used for defining the boundaries of
the land. The limits of the land are
fixed in the deed with reference to
certain large rock and a sugar tree
six inches in diameter. The tree has
long since disappeared, but the rock
wnicn marked the southern boundary
line is still to be seer in front of the
old house. The deed " as drawn up be-
fore Archibald w. Turner, a Justice of
the peace. and is dated May Is. 1S43.

CURRENTS FOR SLEEP.

Experiments are being conducted at
Columbia University to try to prove
the truth of the theory that a person
sleeps best when his head is pointing
toward the north magnetic POLE The
supposition is that the magnetic cur
rents between the poles will pass
through the body without great re-
sistance and a person is soothed to
sleep.
The idea is not new or important.
D'Arsonval, a French scientist of two
centuries ago, claimed to have proved
the truth of the theory But Edison
says he is skeptical about it. Natur-
ally that would make us doubt it.
But a knowledge of the course of
the magnetic currents is not neces-
sary for sound sleep. Plenty of hard
work and vigorous exercise accompa-
MED by good digestion and a clear
conscience are great agents to kill in
somnia. Give a man all these and he
will usually sleep well even though
his head might be in a southwest cor
ner and all these magnetic waves cut
ting crOss-paths through his body.
Perhaps there is not a student in
the University who could tell how
much power the magnetic currents
have to interfere with sleep. But
every student can give positive proof
of one thing that prevents sleep

ABOUT THOSE CLASSES

Editor The Missouri: Recently
there appeared in the Missourian, a
viewpoint in regard to professors
holding their classes too long. The
writer no doubt, was right so far as
he went, but to any case. there is
always two sides. One side, that from
the viewpoint of the teacher, was not
discussed. Was the student ever late
to class? Many times a student gets
out of bed fifteen minutes before class
time, take ten minutes to dress and
the other five minutes to snatch a bite
to eat. The rest of the time he uses
to walk five blocks and climb three
flights of stairs is all on the teachers
time. Yet he is expected to be
counted present and at the close of
the term. if he finds he has an "I''
or 'F'' in this course, he wonders why
and thinks he has been treated I'M
fairly. Now the professor many times
waits for five or ten minutes on the
tardy students. 1t is true in many
cases that another professor is to
blame for this tardiness. But the
only way that this question can be
settled is for a cooperation of both
teacher and student Let them both
be on time and leave on time. If the
class meets at s o'clock the student
and professor should be there at s
o'clock prompt and the class should
be dismissed at the close of the hour.

MAGAZINE FOR MEMORIES.

Now comes an addition to the good
publications that go out from the Uni
ersity of Missouri. The Missouri
Alumnus appeared Monday. 1t is pub
lished primarily as magazine for the
alumni of the University but it con-
tains articles of interest to every stu
dent and teacher of the University
The magazine has a real field that
is worth while One of the most pow
erful organizations any school can
have is a loyal alumni association.
But the graduates of a school drift
away to different and remote places.
Their time and attention are seized
by the pressing problems of their

struggling village, tie chief town OF
the county being Smithton, one mile
west of the present court house and
at that time the county seat.
Shortly before the war Mr.. johnson
turned his home into boarding
house for University students, and
for nearly forty years it was conduct
ed as such by Mr.. Johnson, and later
by his daughter, Mrs. Quarles. 1t was
before the time of fraternities, and
good boarding houses were scarce. AS
a rule the students remained with the
same family during the entire time
they were in the University. COnse-
quently the boarders became greatly
attached to old Fort Johnson" as
they called the house, and many OF
them on their return to Columbia
from time to time would visit the old
boarding house.
In the early days many of the stu
dent boarders were the sons of rich
southern planters and the old house
necame quite social center for the
students. Mary CT the boys who
boarded there have since risen to
considerable prominence in this and
other states. Among the best known
of these are United States Senator
William ]. Stone. who spent four years
here, and Judge Guice of the state OF
Louisiana
At the time of the war Mr.. Johnson
was a large slave owner. One even
ing near the end of the war the stu
dents were at supper when body of
Union troops galloped up, took pos
session of the house and turned it into
Federal quarters. The boarders were
turned out, many of them going to
their homes. The family were also
driven out and took refuge with
friends in the country, where they re-
mained until after the close of the
war.
Mr.. Johnson died July s, 1899, at
the age of SO. He had six children.
Two daughters, Mis-. ]. c. Quarles and
Mrs. Luther H. Rice. and grandson,
John Quarles, all of this city, are the
only living lineal descendants.

A NEW KIND OF PHILANTHROPY.

Charity has assumed many forms
in the last few years, but it is doubt
full whether it has ever assumed a
more practical form than in the case
of a man named Hawkins in Philadel-
phia.
Hawkins was wealthy man
Among other possessions, he had
eighteen houses valued at about $4,000
each. Before his death he paid of
all liens upon the property and in his
will bequeathed his houses to the
tenants who had occupied them and
paid rent to him for many years. By
this means these eighteen families
have been put in possession of prop
erty that they have learned to love
by years of association.

Following the announcement from
Washington that the size of paper
money is to be changed comes an
other saying that the present style of
five-cent pieces is to be changed. A
buffalo will replace the Goddess of
Liberty while an Indian head will be
on the other side. No matter how it
is made a five-cent piece will always
be nickel or a 'gitney" and will
go to make up rocks and "kale'.

work. The "Old Grad" would like to
hear from the University often. He
writes to a friend still in school to
know what the Tigers are doing and
everything else that is going on
around the school.
The friend in school is busy too.
The professors have been piling on
the work, he says. After a month or
two he answers the letter with a
scrawled note about Jim and Fat and
getting ready to go to Lawrence. And
after all that time the "Old Grads"
thirst for information has been wet
with a tiny drop when it needed a
bucketful.
But the former student may get the
alumni magazine every month. 1t will
be filled with the things he will want
to know about. He may sit down in
the evening and read it and in fancy
go back to those good old days at Mis-
souri, before he went out in the chilly
world to face a boss in the morning
and a mother in-law in the evening
The magazine will do much to keep
that memory of the University alive
for every graduate. That is surely
worth while.

HIS NEIGHBORS' CHICKENS.

HIS NElGHBOkS' CHlCkENS.
The old question of chickens that
board in the gardens of neighbors has
come up again in Kansas City. This
time the neighbor did not kill the
fowls, nor did his wife start a neigh
borhood squabble with the owner of
the birds. The chickens just kept on
living at home and taking their meals
out.
When, however, Mr.. Neighbor de-
cided to move, he cooped the chickens
and took them along. Mrs. Owner
owns no part of them except the little
chicks she started WITH" he said,.
"All the rest of them came from my
yard and belong to me-"
The puzzle is now which OF the
claimants owns the controlling inter-
est Possibly the poultry department
of the University can decide this far
reaching question.

London, Aug. Something is so
wrong with the British national sum-

planning that the game is becoming
decadent, This criticism comes at n
time which has been hailed as the
banner year for imperial cricket. with
teams from Australia and South AZ

with England for The Championship
of the empire, But thus far the
triangular matches have been eX-
ceedingly disappointing from the
standpoint of attendance. Recently
one of the most important county
matches attracted only lS9 specta-
tors
Most of the critics agree that the
fault lies in the slowness of the
game and that something must be
done to shorten the matches, which
now last generally three days. This
plan formerly suited the Briton who
took his sports as solid part of
