Autumn Musings.
One student demurs to my mentioning the divertissements of the recent light operas, on the ground that "it makes the girls blush." Now I submit [that if he and his girl can sit and drink in the sweet elixir of the ballet without the slightest perceptible tinge of crimson mounting to their sensitive cheeks, they ought not to fall in a dead faint on perusing my very modest allusions to the same subject
"I can say what I please again him, 'cause he's my brother, but I'll lick the first other feller that talks about him." Well, that's the way I feel about my fellow students. There's no set of people on earth who growl more about others meddling with their private affairs than we students, but we are the very worst to pry into other's business. No crowd ever cried more for "harmony" and "united action," and yet was made up of a bigger set of kickers ("independents"). The fellow we most despise is too often the one we all flock after. As I said before, it's all right for me to say this, because I'm "one of 'em." but I'll pound the first fellow that repens it.
I met Vic Linley the other day, and asked him what he now thought about his “John Milton” oration. “Don’t talk to me about that,” said he; “I’m heartily sick of it. That’s all I hear from morning to night. Just look at this stack of letters about it. I tried to answer them at first, but soon gave up. Why, one old crank wrote for my photo, and a dozen or so newspapers wanted copy. So talk to me about something else.”

I am glad that Lindley M. Spray is principal of our Lawrence High School. He is one of those unostentious fellows whose head is not full of visionary schemes never to be realized, who is not given to boasting, and who is without a particle of hypocrisy or toadyism in his nature. Moreover, he is a success at whatever he undertakes.

I remember a little joke on Spray which was pretty well relished by the boys at the time. Spray didn't go much with the ladies, but getting "struck" on one of the new girls, he straightway got an introduction and made an engagement for the evening. His roommate learned of it and fixed up the joke. Twilight came and so did Spray. It was with the ecstacy of heaven that he started down Tennessee street with his fair one on his arm. He had got only a block or so when he felt one tugging at his coat tail and a voice crying, "Pa, Pa, say, Pa!" Quickly glancing round he perceived a seven year-old negro urchin. Spray gave him a shove, and commenced talking vigorously about the moon and the weather. Still the little imp yelled, "O Pa, Pa, Ma wants to see you." The girl looked up with horror in her pretty face and demanded an explanation. Spray could stand it no longer. He shot after the negro boy who dodged round the corner and flew to the parental mansion. Spray gave up the chase and returned, but his "Dulcinea" had vanished and with her his short lived dreams. The only ones to appreciate the episode were a couple of students watching behind a fence at a safe distance. Life is vanity.

The military company has opence with a boom. I am not so terribly struck on the scheme from the fact that such organizations almost invariably end up in a big row—generally over the fact that all want to be officers and none privates. However, now that the thing is under way, I
hope it will amount to something and not go under like the gymnasium and athletic association.
A certain nice little chap in the University is likely to wake up some morning and find himself left. On arriving at the University this fall, he was a mark for members of different fraternities, and found himself in a halo of popularity. Like the brilliant youth that he was, he shunned these advances. One of these orders speedily came to the conclusion that it did not want him, and now I hear the other is seriously debating whether it would not do it more harm than good to take in the leavings of its rival. Our advice to our young friend is to bite quick, if indeed any opportunity is left him at all.
I understand the Baldwin Bakery is boiling hot because I mentioned that one of its students was in the county jail for horse stealing. On receipt of last week's Courten an indignation meeting of faculty and students was called, and adopted the following resolutions, which I publish, wishing to give all sides a fair hearing:
Resolved, That.
1st. No student of Baldwin is in the county jail.
the county jail.
2nd The Baker student who is in the county jail did not steal the horse.
3rd He was induced to steal the horse by vicious companions who were in no way connected with Baker.
4th No student of Baker would so far forget his Christian training as to steal a horse; it was a mule.
5th The whole story is a Courier lie.
I understand also that the thief is erribly mad. He says that if it is known he is from Baker he is sure to be convicted.
Prof. Spring's history of Kansas is on sale. I haven't had time to read it, but from a hasty glance through the leaves I believe it will surpass my expectations, which were almost at the top notch. Those Kansans who rate Jim Lane above Jesus Christ will be mad of course, for the professor has brought Lane down to his true level in history. Indeed, I am told that the Topka Commonwealth, a Lane worshipper, has already opened up its magazine of vile adjectives. Others will follow. This the professor must have expected. The book is handsomely printed and bound, a model of printer's neatness.

Somehow the fraternities seem to have abandoned their social enterprises. The Phi Gamms have had a ten cent hop, the Phi Psis one solitary euchar party, and the Phi Delta Theta has taken their girls to church. That, I believe, constitutes the season's festivities. What's up? SURU
What the Courier Would Like to See
A better attended one than Orophilian.
A better paper than the Courier at fifty cents a year.
Graham acknowledge that he's beaten when he is.
A more peaceful society than Oread.

Also the base ball club.
Curry is Washburn's hard hitter. Washburn ran in a foreign catcher on us.
Fox is making a "rep" as a hard hitter.
Sporting Notes.
Griffith made some splendid catches in center field.
Little had hard luck, being left on the base three times.
Hoge boom distinguished himself at the bat and in the field.
Three of Washburn's men failed to make a single hit off Yobe.
Neal was an excellent umple, all his decisions being eminently fair.
We put Safford, the Washburn catcher, down as the champion kicker.
The second nine downed the K. S.
U. regular nine last Friday to the
tune of sixteen to fifteen.
Washburn will play a return game on our grounds to-morrow. The game will be called promptly at three o'clock.
The regular nine consists of Davis, c.; Yohe, p.; Fox, 1st b.; Little, 2nd b.; Jackson, 3rd b.; Deford, s. s.; McBride, l. f.; Griffith, c. f.; Hogeboom r. f.
We would like to see a game of base ball between two fraternities. What is the matter with the Phi Delta and the Phi Gamms?
The game of base ball at Washburn was called at 3:20, with the Washburns at the bat. From the first it was plainly seen that our boys were too much for them. A strong wind was blowing, which interfered greatly with the game, and caused the score to run higher than it otherwise would. The following is the score.

The State Teachers' Association, meeting at Topeka Dec. 28-30, promises to be the largest and most enthusiastic educational gathering ever held in the State. Even remote counties have given notice that they will be represented. If special rates can be secured of the railways, it is more than probable that a thousand teachers will assemble. The work has been divided into five sections, and about sixty papers will be read and discussed. Every section of the State and every educational institution in the State, will be represented, and the outside world will be given a hearing through Gov. Martm, Noble Prentiss, Web. Wilder, Gen. Caldwell and others.

The encouragement we received the past season from the best trade for the superior quality, style and make of our Goods convinces us that the trade requires a better class of CLOTHING than formerly.
While it is our aim to introduce to the trade a superior class of Clothing, we also keep in mind that our prices must be such as to meet with the favor of the trade.
Having that aim in mind, we have, for the Fall Trade, had our styles, make and trimmings, improved, besides introducing such novelities as no house can equal.
We shall at all times be pleased to have our Goods and Prices compared with those of our competitors.
