didn't want to get it out—they didn't want to start no run on this bank. They went right away, and it warn't long until every body who had come down to the bank had gone too, and there hain't been no body troubling round here since No," said he after a short pause, "there hain't going to be no run on this bank."
As we went into the vault to put the money in the safe, Tom said to me:
"I thought that I knew how to run a bank; but those old fellows know how to manage a Texas crowd."

Fraternities at one time were strongly opposed by the faculty of Southwestern University; but since the chapters have proved themselves to be worthy, and that their purpose is not that of underhanded scheming, but rather that of higher culture of their members, the faculty encourage them.—Almo and San Jacinto Monthly.

ATHLETIGS.
Baker, 14; K. S. U. 12.
The Yellow waves triumphant over the first of the two scheduled games.
The day was almost perfect for the game, perhaps a little too warm. The strong wind that threatened to make punting very uncertain, suddenly veered around to the south, and that danger was past. The game was one of absorbing interest from beginning to end, Baker winning by means of the superior team work. K. U. seemed to be unable to brace; on good gains by Baker, the team would go almost to pieces; on the other hand, a reverse of fortune would cause them to work like friends. Twice Baker was held at our five yard line for two downs, but the third down found the ball safely over the line.
Our interference was good at the start, but the men did not stay together. The interferers should—always be in close touch of each other. Our ends instead of trying to break opposing interferences, would run around and tackle from behind. The weak spot in our line, caused by Griffith's inability to play from the first, was their special point of attack; Heller, and Taylor, being sent through right guard and tackle, time after time for five and ten yards. Again we were weakened by the indiscreteness of Steinberger and Piatt; although the best tribute that can be given to Johnson is that he out played himself, punting well and bucking the line very effectively. Taylor, when playing end, did a great amount of scrapping when there was no need for it; but it was most noticeable that the moment the ball was put in play, Shepard had him safely out of the way. Harvey, Matteson, and Shepard, did almost all the tackling on the rush line. Both Champlin, and Shellenbarker, made good gains, in fact—the interference and tackling of all the backs was very good. For Baker, Thomas, Pendleton, and Farrar, did the tackling on the line. Toomey's punts were fair, and relieved Baker several times, when K. U. seemed sure to score; but his attempts at goal were very weak. Taylor, Heller, and Toomey,
