the soldier and tudtey for the valiant warrior

The- question, "Resolved, the third
party is a hindrance to the temper

Friday in the Eutaxian' society.
Among the other uovslties of the week we
observed one of the aeniors sporting an olive
hat; two others had white lists, all beiug the
samo shape. We presume the seniors have
a monopoly ou this shape of hals.
The Lainvnns did not feast on peanuts as
they expected during the holiday w k. This
accounts for the disappbrnti Q and hungry
look which some of these gentlemen now
wear, who remaimd in Eugene through va
cation. Iu the last issue of the paper a mistake
was made by the typo iu describing the
chestuut psrty. It should have read, "Th
chestuut jmrty was a success as every one
well knows on considering that batch camp
Uiimber 1 got it up."
After Mr. McCormao left we heard the
next moruing that he barely escaped missing
thetrniu. We next beard that while board
ing the train at Oregon City he tell and bus
tamed severe injuries. We were nimble to
obtaiu further particulars hut hope he is nut
hurt seriously.
The recently published M. 8. miscalled
the Second Book of Chronicles, which cre
ated something uf a literary sensation in cer
tain circles is evidently spiuious or nt hast
its value has been destroyed by the interpo
lation of liuprinuirded scribe. In proof of
this we cite the urge number of modern
word it contains, tho strange mixture of
archaic aud recent forms, and the astonish
ing conglomeration of Jacobins, Ft titans and
Saiihediims. Well informed petsons look
with distrust on such two-wei ks-nfie -it-happeued
article and sre in liu.d to belli ve
that this questionable manuscript would
be more appropriately culled ths Book of
Chestnuts.
Mr. Brattaiu returned fioiu Portland last
Saturday evening wyth a bran new white bat
and a strange appearing black mustache,
Wbeu Mr. B. Walked the streets next day be
was frequently taken for a drummer. Hard
ly anyone recugnied iu the while hat and
daik mustache the jully-looking senior of
last term, for it will be renn uiln red his mus
tache then was very liuhiiu color, nnd
this sudden change from light lo dark trans
figured h's whole appeaniuce. Mr. Builtnin
probably had bis mustache dyed temporarily
to see the effect. When he attempted to get
the dye off what must have been his terror
aud surprise lo find it was impossible to bo,
removed. He sport it now iu as becoming
a manner as possible. Evidently Mr. Brat
taiu believes "urt is more pleasing to the eye
than Uut ure."
With this issue of the column; tliis pen
will erase to write for tho iuteresta of the
Eutsxian society, for the eiilighteumeiit of
the people, for tho amusement of the stu
dents, for the welfare of the Gcaho, for tho
peace of the Corporation, for the general
benefit of the country. Yes, dearly loved
and respected friends, we know this pen is
so rusty it scratehe and teui s the pap"r. We
hope that any scratches now existing, tho
n-sult of some careless item in the column
during the last three months will immediate
ly heal with tho lust stroke of this pen. For
the scratches and tears were made by the pen
and the existing circumstances not by the
wish of the editor, therefore as tho pen is to
be thrown aside and the circumstances are
changed, there is uo reason whalevt r lo bear
any ill-will against ihe editor. This peu,
although dying a natural death, is worn out
b) the frequent battle wiih Laurean editors.
Wbeu first this pen tntcred oil the editorial
field it looked forward with innocent, trust
ing faith to a peaceful term, unruffled by the
attacks and dissensions of editorial strife,
but alas! how soon was this happy dieum
blasted by a merciless attack cm Eutaxian
ability and integrity Ihrougb. Laurean in
fluence. We were culled upon by the stern
convictions of duty and os ia well known we
upheld anil defended our society even at the
expense of persouul feeling. We are always
ready to protect the society ngsinst any
thrusts of tho Laureans. We advertised the
vrtues ot the senior class to the utmost of
our ability, yet we never expect any thank
for such hard work. We gave an impartial
and just account of the last Laureau open
session, and we huve never received a single''
compliment for our pains. We told the
reason why the Lutaxians visited the Latin an
society that time when both leaders of the
debate had the messlt ( and they accused us
of "taking advantage of leap year " We
suggested that the members of the Corpora
tion, after every affair was settled, burn np
the "mutual agreement stul save the asbes
in a golden sarcophagus, hut hardly anyone
kuows now what became uf that precious
parebmeut. We published a. comical and
veiy uncomplimentary valentine and every
body thought we received it ourselves, .We
advised the Ixiye to chew guiu rather than
waste their time iu idle talk on the postoffice
corner, but tbey spend mure time there than
ever aud chew cigarrette stumps instead.
We tried to make the Gdaiid the leading
paper of the Northwest and even published a
a prospectus of the contributors, but
not one of the gills would write a single
item therefore our grest plan fulled. W
begged the Laureans nut to squander
their money ou trifles but save it iu order
to buy A piano for the society ball, but at
the very next meeting of the society they
lavished money iu paying np the due of
persons who had ni t attended the society
for five years aud probably will never attei.d
again. We edited our column with a roos
ter at the bead crowing over the Eutaxian
victory and some of the Eutuxiaus were of
fended because w didu't have a hen in
stead. We desorilwd ihe last corporation
meeting in Old English stjle and the Lau
reans were so pleased they wrote a descrip
tion of the same subject aud in the same
style as near as they possibly could. We
could tell many more ot the great things we
have done but we will refraiu aud say the
scratching of this pen should have ceased
before the ink corroded the brass aud dulled
the point. The wood-box or wuste-psper
basket into which our pen is thtown should
be kept clean aud neut and everything suita
ble fur the last resting place ut a ru-ly pen.
We ask this favor on the same principle as
the person iu that touching song, "See that
my Grave is Kept Greeu;" so "see that my
box is kept clean. "
