LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEB.11, 1887.
The last remains of the Phi Psi and Beta furniture is being hauled away from before the quondam opera house. Ashes to ashes; dust to dust.
Webster Davis, who laid the foundations of a classical education at K. S. U., will represent the Laws at Ann Arbor next commencement Congratulations.
Houck's moustache has been exciting the envy of his brother Freshmen for some time past. Our local fiend has been trying for a week to think up something about it, but it was too much like tackling an abstract subject.
The last lecture was very poorly advertised. It is not right nor courteous to the gentlemen who lecture here to have their coming treated with indifference.
The obstreperous Freshmen held another meeting last Friday and adopted a class hat which is a little two-for-a-nickle affair resembling a well developed carbuncle. Surely the Fresh is a dude.

Ewing Herbert, the young gentleman who occupied with so much grace the last place in the State contest last year, is city editor of the Emporia Daily Globe and is bringing the local end of that sheet up to the standard attained by the editorial department which is controlled by Hon. Jacob Stottler.
The following note was found on the second floor the other morning. The owner can have it by ringing the door bell of our palatial quarters:
A large delegation of Indian school students visited the building Saturday. One of the "untutored sons" caught hold of a battery in Prof. Nichol's room. After giving vent to a Piute howl closely resembling the "Science club yell," he dropped the handles remarking laconically: "Umph pale face cage um cyclone."
Dear ___Do not come around so-night. I haven't my lessons and besides the other girls will all be here and we can't be alone. I hope you're not disappointed. Your own.
When our "local" asks for news
If you would dispel his blues
And make him laugh for hours and hours together,
Just tell him with a wink
That you are inclined to think
We're having quite a little spell of
We're having quite a little spell of weather.
A small but appreciative audience attended the second lecture of the University course by Dr. Tiffany, of Kansas City Tuesday evening. Dr. Tiffany spoke on the "Normal and Abnormal Eye." Though the subject was somewhat out of the usual run, the lecturer succeeded in making it entertaining to a mixed audience, and told many things about the eye which were of interest to all. The lecture was instructive as well as interesting, and should have had a much larger audience.
The pharmacy boys object to being thrown in with the Freshies in the botany and chemistry classes.
PHARMACY.
One of the followers of the other side in the late election said if they could only get over de ford they could beat the other side, and then they all took chloroform.
The pharmacy department indulged in a grand semi-occasional row incident to the election of officers of the association. Friday two crowds each determined to do the other came into the meeting and as a consequence some considerable feeling was evinced. Allopathic doses of cuss words were administered freely all around and the meeting adjourned with the following officers elected: President, J. H. Deford; vice-president, Corydon Lindley; secretary,
Miss Howard; treasurer, Mr. Wood; executive committee, Messrs. McBride and Rankin.
The complaint has been made that the pharmacy department is too theoretical and that its graduates are unit to cope with the stern realities of the drug business in this State. A last year's graduate applied for a position in a Wichita drug store when the following conversation took place:
"Gradeuate from State pharmacy school eh?" said the druggist.
"Well I need a new man for the coming election and I guess I'll give you a job," remarked the pill pounder. "Ever use statements much?"
"Yes sir," replied the applicant.
"Want ay? If a man should come in and tell you he felt klein weak and all run down like, what 'ud chew do?"
"No sir, wasn't taught that," said the graduate.
"I think I should recommend a little quinine," dubiously explained the youngster.
"Wouldn't say nothin' of beer eh, nor mention a little brandy?" asked the medicine man.
"And if he should tell you his wife was ailing I suppose you might forget to ask him how many bottles he wanted to sign for? Wouldn't get out the statements for a man who said he had a crick in his back, would you?" cried the exasperated health dispenser.
"I am afraid not" replied the embryo druggist.
nocently answered the son of "Young man," returned the Wichita man, "you're but a stranger here, your home is not in this wicked land. I guess we can pull through without you; maybe you can get a job in the Y. M. C. A. lunch counter. Jim go over to the Red Light and see if you can't get the barkeeper to help us out
"No sir I don't think I should," innocently answered the son of Oread-
