DEAL OF A NUISANCE.
Kansas Juigt, TelU How end Why th
Yontha Get ThesoaolTaa DUllkaJ
Mucb Truth in What He Eaya Com
ments, However, Are Too Drastic.
That the college boy is often too ex
uberant all who know him will admit,
but that he Is as much of a nuisance
as Judge Frank Doster of the Kansas
Supreme Court declares some will
question. "Among other things," said
Mie judge In a recent newspaper arti
cle, "1 would reform the college s.u
dent or kill him off. I knock on him. I
know we pretend to dote on him and
affect to believe that he Is the hope and
nrst care Of the State, but It's a He.
We don't, t Nobody but his mother
does. From the time he first starts out
to render Gallia est omnia divlsa in

nuisance. If at that stage of his ca
reer his own gall could be divided into
3,000 parts Instead of three and he left
with only one of them the relief to
mankind and to himself would be Ines
timable, because an infinitesimal frac
tion of the whole of what he has would
suffice the needs of any ordinary mor
tal.
Why do I say these hard things
about him? I say.lt because he Is
self-important, noisy, conceited, ignor
ant of all practical wisdom, parts his
hair in the middle, flaunts his frater
nity badge and school colors in an of
fensive, challenging sort of way In ev
erybody's face, and prances upstreet
yawping his ear-splitting college yell
to the fright and disgust of all timid.
sensitive folk within sound. I saw
him at the Twentieth Kansas recep

ger even than Gen. Hughes making
more noise and taking up more room
than the whole procession, elbowing ev
erybody out of the way and drowning

good many people In It, and I give it as
ray mature and solemn judgment, based
upon a careful, unprejudiced compari
son of the many classes of people who
cultivate the habit of making a holy
show of themselves, that, with the ex
ception to be hereafter noticed, the
average college student is the most ob
trusive and elephantine ass that fronts
the grieved and frowning face of heav

seir. - : -
Now, I am not objecting to what this
creature learns at school. It's what he
doesn't learn that I am talking about.
He's lazy. He doesn't design himself
for any of the usual work of mankind.
Nobody ever heard of a college student
who was fitting himself for anything
but one of the learned professions, so
called that is,' one of the professions
of learning how to live off the balance
of mankind. ' He's going to be a law

an author, an orator, a statesman, and
no doubting thought ever ruffles bis
serenely egotistic soul that when once
he vaults into the arena of affairs the
things of this world will be speedily set
to rights.
But when he finally does land out
the much-abused, long-suffering world
gets its revenge. The world just trips
him up and rolls its big self over him
and mashes the wind out of him and
then picks him up and chucks him into
a little 8x10 office, with cobwebs on
the ceiling and fly specks on the win
dows and two broken-leg chairs on the
floor and a dozen second-hand books
id a wobbly, old case with the glass
broken out, and. refusing to pay bis

leaves him to learn wisdom from the
ant. - . .-- . ; ..

TAMAGNO GETS A REBUFF.
Tronble Made for Him in Paris by HU
Propensity to Drive Barataina.
Ernesto Tamagno, like many other
distinguished singers, is noted for his
prudence in financial matters, and dur
ing his stay in this country many amus
ing stories were told of his-small econ
omies, which were remarkable in the
case of an artist who has always re
ceived enormous compensation for his
services. ; " .. ' ' . ' i o
That his spirit for bargaining is not
altogether confined to money matters
has recently been shown in a fashion
that has put the tenor into an embar
rassing position In Paris. He went
there on his way to" London, where he
is singing at Covent Garden, to take
part In the performance at the opera
given In honor of the retirement . of
Mme. Laurent, an actress of melo
drama who has been for several years
at the head of the orphanage for the
children of French actors and has been
decorated by the government for her
efforts In this field with the cross of the
Legion of Honor. j -
All the noted French actors and sing
ers were delighted to take part. Even
Mme. Pattl, who was In Paris -when
the plan was proposed, said she would
take the role of Juliette in the third act
of Gounod's opera." Slgnor Tamagno
said that he would sing in honor of
Mme. Laurent .
But it appears that his passion for
bargaining proved too strong for him
and he could not bring himself to give
something for nothing. So he decided
that as it would be out of the question
to expect payment In money on such an
occasion, he would suggest the Legion
of Honor as the appropriate reward for
his services.
He adopted thls-course, says the New
York Sun, with the most nnpleasant re
sults. The suggestion was, of course,
rejected by the officials to wbom.lt was
made by the singer's friends, and Pres
ident Loubet was so disgusted by the
affair' that he refused to attend the
performance. The tenor also declined
to take part, as bis suggestion that he
would like the decoration was received
with so little courtesy. The result of
the matter was that he left Paris vow
ing that he would never return. The
feeling over the affair Is such that he
will In all probability never be asitea
to sing at the opera under any circum
stances. DEEDS RATHER THAN DREAMS.
Decline of Imagination and lta Most
, Noticeable Beanlta.
It will be difficult to impress the com
munity that humanity Is greatly the
loser by the decline of imagination.
President Thwlng of Western Reserve
University professed to regret mis
passing emotion In an address he made
recently in the west, but it was no
doubt largely a regret of the perfunc
tory order, and one naturally to be ex
pected" from a man of letters. If we
have In this practical age lost the
pleasures of Imagination, we have
through the Immutable law of compen
sation gained greatly in realization.
There may be no modern mind capable
of producing another "Faery Queen,'
but there are countless minds working
for humanity's betterment and weav
lng In place of the web of fancy the
staunch though homely texture of en
during benefit. -
The decline of so-called imagination
began with the decline of chivalry. It
went out with the false Ideas of honor.
with the vauntlngs of bedizened men,
with the bitter class distinctions, with
the contempt for the profession of let
ters and with the poorly cooked food
and other ..wretched creature comf orts
of that period of hampered progress.
In its place has arisen a practical
method of thought in which there Is
scant room for the dreamer of dreams.
In its place has come a higher regard
for humanity, a wider sphere for wom
an, a new tenderness for childhood and
general betterment all along the
marching ranks of civilization.
Imagination is a sweet and gracious
quality, but its decline leaves no void
In a scheme of life that believes In
deeds rather than in dreams. The
world may be too much with us, as old
Wordsworth said, but that was a poet's
protest, and poetry is declining, too.

CLUBS MADE UP OF FREAKS.
Queer Association of Queer Individ n
a la in Some Parts of Europe. .
There have been associations of all
sorts of individuals formed in this coun
try, but none of them would bear com
parison for freaklshness with some of
Europe's clubs. At Hoogstraelen, a
small Belgian town, a baldheaded club,
to secure admission to which a calvous
area of twenty-one square centimeters,
or eight and one-quarters square inches,
is Imperative, has lately been founded,
Its antithesis exists In the Long-Halred
Club of Ghent whose members must
wear either a beard of thirty centi
meters (one foot) or hair of "twenty cen
timeters (eight inches) in length. "Les
100 Kilos," a Parisian club for which
no one weighing less than 100 kilos (232
pounds) is eligible, is in striking con
trast with "Les Fifty Kilos" of Mar
seilles, to which entrance is alone per
mitted to such as are over 170 centi
meters (5 feet 7 inches) in height and
under fifty kilos (118 pounds) in weight
For several years the president of
this club was a Mr. Be, who, though
aearly 6 feet, weighed less than ninety-
eight pounds. Two years ago, however,
he took unto himself . a wife, under
whose solicitous care he so rapidly
gained flesh that in less than twelve
months he was compelled to resign his
membership. Berlin boasts of a Big
Mouth Club. In the clubroom is kept a
wooden ball as large as & medium-sized

'And he always plays with Mr. Next-

"What difference can that make."
"Mrs. Nextdoor makes her husband
