RESPONSUM.
A skeptic on a lofty mountain stood,
And viewed with thoughtful mien the busy world.
He saw the struggles for the bad and good,
The banners of the weak with strong unfurled.
"Oh what is God?" in anguished voice he cried,
"Man does but live in sharp and bitter strife,
The high and low together are allied
To find the God who gives each creature life."
"As Christian monk and Jewish rabbi hold
That true religion in his own faith lies,
In every clime, from thinkers manifold,
Unnumbered doctrinal beliefs will rise."
The skeptic, wrapped in silence, pondered long.
He saw the sun in western glory sink.
He wondered then if science could be wrong,
From whose deep fountain he was used to drink.
An owl flew by, the man in sorrow cried,
"You know this life no more than I, forsooth!"
The ardently, with pure and modest pride,
"I am content," he said, "for God is Truth."

The consequences were they had to get a rig and drive over twenty-five miles in order to play that evening at Wellington.

CHAPTER HOUSE.
The Beta Theta Pi fraternity has leased the DaLee mansion on Tennessee street for three years. This place, the property of Col. O. E. Learnard, is one of the finest residences in Lawrence. It is admirably situated and planned for a chapter-house. The Betas will not take possession until next September. During the summer the entire house will be renovated and changed to meet the requirements of the fraternity. This will be the first trial in the west of regular chapter-house life in which the entire management of the house will be in the hands of the members. Should the experiment prove successful, other fraternities will no doubt follow the lead of Beta Theta Pi.
