THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
A MODERN GAME
Written for the Courier by Dalonzo.
We watched a very peculiar game
In the Club room the other day,
It had the strongest terms of any
We ever saw them play.
'Twas 'shoot a quarter,' 'kill the bill'
'Some one fade me quick'
'Come up, natural, lovely dice'
'Great Gosh! my point's big Dick.'
'Two in the the Hog-face, let'er go,'
'Make it all or none'
'I wont let loose for fifteen cents,'
'Might as well throw for fun.'
'Look out, boys, for a mess of craps'
'Hold up, my point is Joe!'
'Take in the money, I 'aint right'
'For out on seven I go.'
Such was the game we saw them play,
In the Club room dingy and old,
But the names of those who did the act,
Of course, shall not be told.
Although 'tis a pastime sport, wherein.
They boster away their souls,
Yet their claim on Heaven is as great as t
Of th' politicians within our schools.
Joseph Garrett, of Leaveworth was in the city Friday visiting his Sigma Chi brothers. Several dinner baskets were ";borrowed this week." When the owners went to their baskets to have a quiet meal, they found that some mean persons had carefully extracted the contents. They probably mistook it for "free lunch."

Prof. Lucien I. Blake; has succeeded in establishing electrical communication by wire between the land and a vessel anchored several miles out in the ocean. Prof. Blake is a Kansas man and occupies the chair of Physics and Electrical Engineering at the Kansas State University-Chicago Herald The Herald is in error as to the nature of Professor Blake's invention, the telephonic communication being brought about without the use of wire, the salt water being the only medium.
Fred Funston lectured to the Historical Seminary yesterday afternoon, on "The geography, history and resources of Alaska. There was a good attendance. As is the case with all Mr. Funston's lectures, this one was very entertaining. His trip to Alaska was made under the order of the U. S. government. Having his expenses paid he was enabled to investigate the more thoroughly. He has a valuable collection of stereopticon slides made from photographs which he took while in Alaska.
