CHAPTER XII.
In the Presence Of Sheridan.

1t had been dark for nearly an hour
before we entered what was from all
appearances & large and populous
camp. No sooner was l thrust into
the unknown darkness of a hut by the
not unkindly sergeant, than / threw
myself prone on the floor, and was
sound asleep before the door had fair
ly closed behind him.
My rest was not destined to be
long one. It seemed I had barely
closed my eyes when a rough hand
shook me again into consciousness.
Tho flaming glare OF an upllfted pine
knot flung its radiance over half-a-
dozen figures grouped in the open
doorway a corporal, with a white
chin beard, was bending over me.

that the most popular songs in th'
home country were "Yangtze Kiang'
and "Sa Tau Tai" These, they said
took the place of ragtime. The new
Chinese national anthem, Chung Hws
Ming Kwoh," was written by a former
teacher of Chang, DR.. w. w. Yen,
graduate of the University of Virginia
The air was written by Mrs. Yen.
Guillermo Fuentes, of Saltillo, Goa
hula, Mexico, had in the meantime
been doing a deal of talking urging
the others to sing.
"Why don't you sing yourself?' he
was asked
Il cannot sing" he answered.
Then tell us a story" the crowd
urged.
With a good deal of gravity. Fuen-
tes gave 'spiggity" translation OF
what he called LOS Cuarenta Lad
rones," which most of the men imme-
diately recognized. He followed it up,
on the strength of the applause, with
"El Castillo Encantanda," and later
with lei Rey Y Sus Tres Hijos."
When the final remarks of admira-
tion subsided, there was silence for
a while. From the third floor came
the intermittent sounds of a violin.
muted and low, and apparently skill
fully played.
That's John Sholtz playing" all
that. Why should not he come down
and play some of his national airs for
them? A committee was appointed to
bring him down at all costs. They left
and soon returned with Sholtz and his
fiddle.
ShOltz is Jew. who hopes. when
he is graduated from the University

EARLY TO RISEl-NO.

We have had various dissertations
of various sorts on the things we
ought not do, from an Apology for
Idlers" to the Confessions of an
Opium Eater" but why has not some
poet risen to sing the joys of sleep
ing late?
To awake on a frosty morning with
the window out of reach and the rad
iator doing lots of sputtering to little
effect, to reach out with ones toes
to see if the slippery sheets are really
cold and to find that they are, and to
pull them back with a shiver, to hear
the bell on Switzler Hall ring out its
brazen call and then to snuggle down
again among the blankets and lose
oneself in sweet dreamy oblivion -
why, we ask, has not some learned
writer arisen to put on the permanent
page the fleeting glories of this de-
licious but fleeting half hour.
Possibly he is even now seeking
local color, and will arise later to
take up this great work.

for the support and maintenance OF
the state institutions, however, will be
in lieu of appropriations from the
general revenue fund for that purpose
The general revenue fund of the state
will be relieved to that extent.
The appropriation for the support
and maintenance of the University for
the present biennial period was about
one million dollars. On a one-third
basis, the University would receive
from the mill tax fund about one hun
dred thousand dollars more than this.
But the great advantage is in that
while the fund would not be SO large
now it would increase as the assessed
valuation of the state increased and
the growing needs of the University
and the various other educational in
stitutions of the state would be met
without an increase of the tax rate,
The additional 100000, which
would be forthcoming the first two
years and the greater amounts in
years to follow could be used to won
derful advantage in supplying the
needs of the University. Nebraska

why Missouri should not be as lib

nance of her schools.

THE MILL TAX AMENDMENT

No state has made more rapid pro-
gress educatiOnally in the past decade
than Missouri. Yet she is not abreast
of her neighbors in many respects
The University of Missouri stands in
the front rank of the great state uni
versities. Yet she has not been able
to render as much service to the state
as she might have done with suffi-
cient permanent income.
The mill tax amendment which is
to be voted on in this state in Novem-
ber, has been proposed as a means of
raising the educational standing of
Missouri, of bringing her public
schools to higher efficiency and of
providing the University and other
state educational institutions with a
definite permanent income. This
amendment, if adopted, will provide
a state tax of ten cents on each one
hundred dollars valuation annually
levied and collected on the assessed
value of all property subject by law
to taxation in this state. The pro-
ceeds of the tax are to be set apart
in the State Treasury and appropri-
ated by the General Assembly for the
support and maintenance of public
elementary and high schools. State
Normal Schools. Lincoln Institute and
the State University; but in no case
is there to be appropriated less than
% percent of the proceeds to be used
in aiding public elementary and high
schools.
Such a tax. after all expenses of
collection, would provide permanent
fund of about one million six hundred
dollars annually, out of which appro-
priations would be made in accordance
with the needs of the various insti-
tutions. At least twenty-five per
cent. however. must be used in aiding
public elementary and high schools.
In this the amendment is definite.
And whatever sum is given to the
common schools will be in addition to
that now received by them out of the
