"GORY GAMBOLS; "
OR THE KROLCISOME FANCY OF /
CHAMPION FOOT-BALLIST.
I love my adversary's legs to kick,
To frisk upon his features with my feet
Or bunt him in the bell 'till he's sick—
All this is sweet.
I smile to hear his collar bone collapse, Accompanied by his expiring serecee To crack his ribs is happiness, perhaps Beyond all reach.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 13, 1892.
I laugh when in the scrimmage wild,
I smash the thigh bone of some lusty
boy,
And see him borne off, helpless as a
child--
That that is you.
My sturdy heel into his spine I jam
To beat his mouth until he pouts at fate,
To punch him sternly in the diaphragm
I rapture great.
And then to batter flat his shapely snout
Is pleasure that can't afford to miss;
To tear a handful of his *giblets* out—
That, that is bliss.
Than to perceive his manly blood run red
No greater joy can unto me be given;
But at one kick to kick him down stone
dead—
That, that is heaven.
—The Lehigh Burr.
No.16.
FEW FACTS.
Presumably Mrs. Lease will now turn all her energies towards the winning of the oratorical contest, in which her son will take part. It Mr. Lease can orate as well as his mother, beware, ye other five, of the six orators!
Of the six contestants who will speak on the evening of January 27, four belong to the collegiate department and two to the law department. Three are Seniors and three Juniors. Five are fraternity men, in fact six, as Lease is a member of the Farmer's Alliance.
SCIENCE CLUB.
The Science club will listen to a very interesting lecture this evening, given by Professor Stevens. The subject will be Diseases of Plants. The lecture will be illustrated by aid of the lantern. This will be one of the most important lectures of the year given by the Science club. All are invited to attend.
On the 6th of January a large number of orations, in fact an unusual large number, were handed to the faculty committee. Six orations were chosen from this number and the subjects and names of the writers are as follows:
ORATORS AND SUBJECTS.
Triumph of Higher Motives, Frank Lutz; A Voice of Humanity, Fred B. MacKinnon; The Jewish Race, Henry Lease;
University of Common Sense, W. H. Riddle; The Future of Monarchy, Thomas Bennett; The Struggle for Liberty, Thornton Cook.
The subjects of the orations and names of the orators indicate a strong contest. Perhaps none are so little known as Mr. Lease, but he comes from that climate which savors of oratory and much is expected of him. Messrs. Riddle and Lutz spoke last year; as the Lawrence Journal put it, "Made a very favorable impression."
THEY RETURN.
The Glee and Banjo club came in Sunday morning from Leav enworth, where the final concert of the four weeks' tour was given Saturday evening at the Soldiers Home. The boys are all looking extremely well after their trip, and are enthusiastic over their success.
LOCALS.
The club traveled over 2,000 miles on the tour, and gave twenty-four concerts and were given eighteen receptions. The total receipts of the tour approximate nearly $4,000. The receipts of the club were nearly one half this amount, and after paying railroad fare, hotel and advertising bills will have left in the treasury nearly $300. Credit is due the business management in so successfully completing a venture that seemed to many rather uncertain.
The Glee and Banjo club has earned for itself a reputation second to that of no other club in the country, and the many earnest admirers of the club and all lovers of good music will be pleased to learn that the club contemplates giving its famous concert at the opera house in the near future.

SATURDAY NIGHT'S CONCERT.
The Pioneer Press, of Saint Paul, seldom bestows such enthusiastic praise as this from its criticism of November 4: "A concert which was exceptional in the high degree of musical excellence it presented, was given at the People' church last evening before an audience overflowing in the amount of enthusiasm it manifested. The Whitney Mockbridge Concert Company demonstrated itself to be one of the most evenly balanced musical combinations which has appeared in St. Paul for a long time, and fully sustained the brilliant reputation which preceded it. No analysis of the program can impart an adequate idea of the superb character of the entire entertainment."
