It is a question of no little import to
the average student.
Casper Whitney in a recent number ol Harper’s Weekly paid his respects to DePauw football in a way that makes the loyal student blush for shame, that such things should be said about his college. We have no fault to find with his criticism. By the underhanded work of a few students and “interested parties” the fair name of DePauw has been disgraced. Such disreputable proceedings which stigmatized our ’ini team ought never to be 1 repeated. Better suffer defeat a thous and times than win dishonestly. Every student who cared to know was painfully conscious of a most glaring outrage of college ethics. The same article which held DePauw up for disgrace left most clearly the impression that Purdue was a saint among devils. The writer of the article was evidently not in possession of all the facts. He surely did not know that the Purdue manager laid around Greencastle for some time proselyting. Such a breach of college etiquette has hardly ever been equaled. It is better to he a straight out, clean cut sinner than a hypocrite. Neither does DePauw find a place among its instructors for men who are to uphold the honor of the institution on the grid-iron indefinitely. Nor do we make ourselves odious by sending men to other colleges to investigate the personnel of their athletic teams, j in order to hide our own sins. We still have some regard for honesty and uprightness. But disregarding the sins or virtues of another institution, DePauw must always do the right and t lie honest tiling. We respectfully ask, for the sake of old DePauw, her good name and influence and long list of honorable sons and daughters, that the faculty exercise a stricter control of athletics, and that the student s who believe in pure, honest and upright athletics, frown down every attempt to disgrace our sports by professionalism. Honesty comes high, but the re-
turn is worth the cost.
Without A Rival. As a positive cure for sprains,bruises, and pains of all kiuds, Salvation Oil has no equal. Mrs. Frank Juif, 518 Gratiot Avo., Detroit, Mich., writes: “1 used Salvation Oil in my family and can say it lias no rival as a liniment; it certainly cures pains. I sprained my ankle and it cured me and since then I have always used it for an}' pains and bruises.” Salvation Oil is sold for only 25 cents. No oilier remedy will do the work as promptly.

IsvartM'd the Funnel Trick.
Jerry Lynch has finally learned the funnel trick. He took it in two doses— one ou one evening and the other the next. The senator sauntered up to the Bohemian club the other day and saw two or three of the younger members attempting a new feat, and ho watched them with interest. One of them stuck a funnel in the top of his trousers, threw his head back, placed a 50 cent piece ou his forehead and tried to drop it in the funnel by slowly lowering his bead. After all had failed Jerry insisted on trying it, though all had tried to dissuade him from attempting a feat too difficult for them. The funnel was placed in the waistband of his trousers, and ho threw back his head to receive the coin on his expansive brow. At that juncture a pitcher of ice water was emptied into the funnel, and by the time Jerry got through dancing the jokers
had vanished. The senator’s temper im- GOLD
proved with dry raiment, and the next night at the club he started in to show a couple of friends the funnel trick. “It’s this way,” he explained. “You put the funnel in the top of your pantaloons, so, then throw your head back,
so, and—wow!”
Agaiu Jerry was forced to change his raiment, and he is not showing people what he knows about the funnel trick. —San Francisco News Letter.

An Invalid’s Nightdress. The difficulty of changing a nightdress when a sick person is too feeble to aid the process is a problem, the sufferer being often quite exhausted by the effort. Experience of this lias taught mo that a design for a nightdress that would slip on without strain or difficulty would be it boon and a blessing. The simplest way is to make it button all the way down from neck to hem. One of these Is of long cloth, trimmed with insertion and embroidery, tho yoke of alternate tucks and insertion. It opens all Rio way to the feet, tho buttons being concealed by the trimming; but, if liked, the trimming may cease in tho ordinary way a little below the waist, a neat false hem worked with buttonholes carrying down tiie necessary opening to the feet. For such a garment about 4 or 5 yards of long cloth will be required, yards of insertion and 9 yards of embroidered edging, if this is brought ::ll the way down tiie front.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
