Heretofore students in Win*
throp Collogo who have won
beneficiary sholarships have been
nchnittcd without question as to
their ubility t<? pay tuition fees.
This lias all been changed. A rule
.. . J ? . 1 I... 4 I... I 1 1 1 .
u<it>in vr? i n\ i ihj iioiiru <>i trustees
now requires that applicants for
heneficiury scholarships shall show
an inability to pay tuition, else
tho scholarships will not ho nwared.
Heretofore an injustice has
been done the poor girls ?if the
Stato on account of tho fact that
young ladies wheso parents wore
better able to prepare them for
college have been able to carry
otl the scholarships. 'I ho rule now
will give tho girls of tho poorer
class a better opportunity to win.
This is as it should 1 c, and we. do
sire to commend the board of
trustees for their adoption of the
title. It will he rigidly enforced.

A Bountiful Sermon.
A preacher in Kansas the
other day delivered a brief hut
very beautiful funerul sermon.
Hero it is:4'A word to you all. Post
mortem praises an.l love are in
air. People never stop to kiss thoii
living; they hover over open cas
kets in hysteric sobs, but failed to
throw their armi around thoir lov- i
cd ones who are lighting the stern
buttles of life. A word of cheer
to the struggling soul in life is
worth more than the roses of
ChrHtendom piled high on cas
ket covers. Tbo dead cannot
smell the flowers, but the living
can; scatter them broadcast in
their rpatbway, i therefore,] and
pluck out the thorn? before it is
too late."
A small boy teased bis father
