Herb Hadiey is under the impression that he is a 'statesman out of a job.'

The Glee club will take in the Hasken Institute department as an annex before they make their tour.
Prof. Sterling is talking of getting batting cage and putting the boys at work immediately.
The song "Ba Ba" nearly killed McCall. He fainted at the close and had to be taken down town in a hack.
The Sigma Nus are having their hall papered. They claim to have the largest and finest fraternity hall in town.
Prof. Miller's great astronomical display will take place immediately after Max O'Rell's lecture next Friday night.
Jim Challiss should negotiate with the young ladies in the state contest and endeavor to get them to withdraw in his favor. Jim is quite a diplomat in this art.
Just a little politics this week. Officers of the oratorial association are to be elected and it is understood that the state is fixed.
Mr. Park has stepped his foot in it in attempting, in his infantive way, to squelch Dr. Howland. A Mr. Laslett of Y. M. C. A. fame did the same trick last year.
Prof. Canfield delivered the first lecture on the extension course at Abilene this week. He took for his subject, Shakespeare. Abilene is very enthusiastic over the course.
The city of state, majestic old Topoka,
will soon wake to the fact that K. S. U.
is still in this terrestrial whirl.
Rock Chalk, Jav Hawk, K. U.! Watch that
policeman dance.
One of the most prominent seniors and an orator in the recent contest, in the young peoples meeting at one of the churches last Sunday gave in the following testimony of the efficacy of prayer. He said: "Once there was a bad man, a very wicked man, who had never been known to pray'in his life. He went to church and prayed. As he stepped out the church door he was struck by lightening." The ways of the Lord are mysterious.
Frank Crowell, '88, opens the young men's republican banquet at Topeka this evening, responding to the toast, "Kansas." E. C. Little, also a former K. U. boy, is on the list.
Max O'Rell, the greatest humorist on the stage will convulse his hearers next Friday night on "America as seen through French Spectacles." Get your seats early Wednesday morning.
One of the laws took an icy bath this last week.
What's the matter with Challiss? He's all right you bet! !!
Brown has the state presidency of the O. A. in his vest pocket and will keep it there.
Clarence Hall, city editor of the Journal, forgot to state that Curry presided at the contest.
Many of the base ball enthusiasts were seen on the dryest streets this last week, diligently practicing for the opening of the season.
There is a meeting of the oratorical association today and the order of the day is talk an arm off your friend in an attempt to get him to vote for your candidate.
Rumor has it that Prof. Mayer has resigned his position in the University to accept an offer from the University of Pennsylvania.
Another one of the old students of K. S. U. had added his name to the list of married men. G. W. Harrington, a graduate of both the collegiate and law departments, we learn was married laterly to Miss Hattie Graf, a teacher in the Hiawatha high school. Mr. Harrington is one of the rising lawyers of Hiawatha, and already has a large practice. The Courier sends its best wishes.
HODGE PODGE.
If a man would follow a turned-up nose would he go to heaven?
Marriage has been called a lottery. How many of our seniors drew blanks?
We always wondered which one of ourselves a cross eyed man was speaking to.
Our old friend Jerry Fox has turned into a drummer. Well;Jerry always had a weakness for the girls.

A great many men begin the day by dutifully getting up with the lark and end it by going off on one. —Ed Howe.
The fair Godess of fortune, now that the boys have ceased to tempt her can travel the even tenor of her way unmoilested.
We have often noticed that when a student starts to cut down expenses his girl is the one who suffers. The cigar and necktie bill generally remains the same.
The Industrialist, a col-ed paper of Manhattan has as its latest effort "The Folly of Anger." Evidently the person who wrote it never had occasion to hold a pair of pants up with a shingle nail or crawl under the bed for a color button.
The girl who won two pounds of candy on the contest had better look out as all games of chance are a little off color at present, even the chance of passing in examination.
When we write a dictionary we will define "poker" as an iron-instrument to punch the fire with. "Chips", the refuse from a wood pile and "whiskey" as an antidote for snakebites. "Penny-ante" will be our mother's sister and a cent piece, and "no limit" will apply to a student's credit. The late action of the faculty has materially changed the complexion of the English language as oblied to this school.
The young republicans of the University have it eaten anything for a week past; they will be able to get their three dollars worth at the banquet in Topeka. They got left when they think they would make anything on a student. A man who eats on a meal ticket has an enormous capacity on short notice.
OUR ORATOR
As Others See him and What They Say.
As fast as Atchison statesmen lose their jobs the colleges start Atchison youths on careers of glory. J. M. Challiss was accorded first honors in the State University oratorical contest last week. He belongs to the Champion family, being a son of Dr. Challiss, and a nephew of Colonel Luther Challiss—Kansas City Star.
Jim Challis, who won the local oratorical contest at the state university, is an Atchison young man. He is a son of Dr. W. L. Challiss, the administrator of the Martin estate. Young Challiss' subject is "Shylock and Justice." and his piece is a Shakespear rean study. Challiss is a witty fellow and has had a number of jokes accepted by Puck and Life and Judge. He is a graceful writer and is a big-yoiced six footer. He is going to bother the other contestants at the state meeting next month. Challiss graduates this spring. He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and is a great athletic enthusiast. He is indeed, a perfect type of the college lad of the period and is the idol of the school he represents.—Will White in K. C. Journal.

Died.
The University lost a firm and true friend last Tuesday by the death of Judge E. P. West. Judge West was born in 1820 in the state of Kaukury. Admitted to the bar at the age of 21. He practiced his profession until about 1875 at which time he was residing at Kansas City.
About eight years ago he became connected with the University, a position he has held uninterruptedly until the time of his death. He has labored patiently and faithfully in the geological department of the University and has left an imperishable movement in his work for the institution. For more than seven years he has been constantly at work in the collection and preparation of fossils of our state, making more than any other man, the collection of our University one of which the institution and state may well be proud.
Kansas' Birthday.
All hall! Kansas this day was born;
adged and armed, like fair
Miggy's Fury.
Of Jove, to wing her flight in air,
And chant *Ad asstra* to the morn;
But in the dark and sullen stream
Of civil strife: like one without
A f-iend or home; and tossed about
B
Forlorn, and mocked by the rude shout Of ruffian bands in demon's form.
Sweet Kansas of the fragrant plain:
Thy natal hour shall mourn a dav
Wreathed in flowery love; whose bright ray
slippes.
Shall gild the world, and whose sweet lay
Shall charm like some *Aeolian* strain.
—Joel Moody.
No.18.
The Contest.
Last Friday evening was the momentous occasion when the orator of K. S. U. was to be chosen and a vast throng filled the commodious chapel.
President O'Leary being absent Mr. W. M. Curry, vice-president of the association presided with the dignity and composure of an old campaign veteran.
The first thing on the program was an instrumental piece by Profs. Dan Crew and Duncan Collins. After the invocation by Dr. Marvin, ex-chancellor, Mr. Frank A. Lutz delivered a well, prepared oration and surprised many who had voted him out of the race.
Mr. R. D. Brown again delivered his oration of last years contest and by his characteristic delivery gave his adherents to hope that in the ultimate decision he would prove the victor.
The Indian Glee club, a septet of voices, was the next thing on the program. The deep and clear bass voices with a melody of tenor somewhere, gave an impression of wild wierd fantastic of woodland voices sounding through the solemn forests. The club was given a hearty encore, and responded with a jolly vjol歌 song. "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk K, U," which brought down the house.
Mr. Riddle the next orator had a good oration but was overtrained and gesticulated too much. One wondered he didn't grow weary, W. W. Brown who followed him was the reverse. His oration was imperfectly learned and he evidently hadn't been trained at all.
The Glee club was next on the program and soon the classic strains of "Tom, Tom the piper's son, stole a pig," were wafting a sense of rest over the vast audience. They responded to an encore and the audience was wearied by a sort of "ba, ba, black sheep, have you any wool!" when they were expecting a rousing, jolly, college song bubbling over with fun.
The next orator on the program was J. M. Challis His voice had a quaver in it, but said quaver immediately took a back seat up on the rostrum and before he had finished his first sentence one felt that he was the winner. With magnificent crotch he plead the cause of Shylock and of Justice, and convinced you ere you were aware that Shylock was not so black as he is painted.
Mr. E. F. Robinson gave a good oration and is evidently possessed of a good voice. The sameness of tone was the only feature that detracted from his delivery.
While the judges were out making up the averages and deciding who was winner, Dan Crew gave one of his famous songs and was compelled to respond with another. The Glee Club was called but couldn't come so the seven little Indian boys had to take up the burden and answer the crowd. They did so and did it well. President Curry soon came in and announced that the judges had awarded second place to Mr. R. D. Brown and first place to Mr. J. M. Challiss and then pandemonium broke loose. The contest was over and all were glad and satisfied. We predict that K. S. U. will be near the top of the heap in the state contest.
The Laureate on Football. The sunlight falls on stuffed footballs
The sunlight tails on stuffed footballs
and 'sanguined' levens fierce and gor
And 'sanguined 'levens fierce and gory;
The long light shakes o'er frauds and
fakes
And undergraduates howl for glory. Kick, collse, bick
Kick, cullies, kick.
Send the big sphere a-flying;
Answer cripples.
Dying, dying, dying. —Ex.
