When,you read that sixteen stu. dente won honors from the Univer- atty of Missouri this year remember that nine of them battled throughout against a pitiless poverty, writes Fred Kelsey, the press editor for the University. The valedictorian of a class of sev- enty-eight supported himself for a year after enterlig the University by |” acting as a kind of scavenger for the University Boarding Clubs. When ‘he finished, he ws assistant in one of the laboratories. The winner of the $300 prize for the best progress dur! ing the senior year in law, paid his expenses throughout by hard manuel labor. ‘Another $300 prize in the law department went to a young man who had fought poverty from the beginning of his career. Saving a little money from teaching, he en- tered the University where he pieced out his allowance by acting as agent for various student supplies. Onthe day of his graduation, his proud old mother, radiant through the deep lines of self-denial, was with him to and desire to protect the weaker sex, we believe the punishment should be cold blooded murder and escape the extreme penalty therefor.

His description of an ideal wife will not meet the approval of all women, but it will of most men. He saysthe ideal wife ie ‘‘a woman who loves her husbend aud her country with no desire to run either.” The facts are, such women wield an influence that is ten thousand times more powerful than the strong-minded, over-strenu- ous kind that aesume the rights and manners of both sexes.

And on the 6th day of June, 1905, two of sald viewers to-wit: Cyrus J. Requa and Charles T.

But it we lower tbe flood line sufficiently to prevent overflow, we de- crease the fall of the ditch, just as much as the flood line is lowered, giving the ditch for the last ten miles a very sluggieh current, if any. If the ditch will prevent the floods, its fall can exceed ten inches per mile; if it does not keep the water off, the fall is of no consequence, The work of the drainage board in regai investigating the feasibility of the project was a farce, no attention being given to anything except @ route for the ditch find that we only considered in a general way. ii We are making Special INDUCEMENTS FOR MEN. to do their trading with ue, we carry an up-to-date line of FURNISHING GOODS and we want you to remember we do uot buy a aingle thing for our stock unless it is the best that can be made for the e ell made with double flat * felled seams, full backs, no piecing — a = cents, best buttons and sewed with best thread, 0 fact made to fit likea f . made like this worth eameen wae eee OUR WORK SHIRTS.
