About twenty minutes later hearing him moving about his kitchen, I went over again. He was putting away the remains of his scarcely touched Thanksgiving dinner, and was whistling in the most vigorous manner. "Fine dinner that," he said briskly, pointing to what still remained on the table. Ah, never need any one fear for Uncle Dick! While there is life in his body, he will never succumb to useless moping! I went back home, greatly relieved, and never since that day have I found occasion to worry about Uncle Dick. LOCALS. Chancellor's Reception. The annual reception of the Chancellor to the students and members of the faculty of the University will be held in Spooner Library Hall, Friday evening, December 7th. The reception has been necessarily postponed until this time by reason of the delay in the arrangements for the lighting of the building. This will be the formal opening of the Library Hall. All students and members of the faculty are cordially invited to be present. Economie Seminary. At the regular meeting of the Seminary on the 19th inst. J. H. Engle summarized a couple of interesting articles in recent numbers of the Fortnightly Review on the conditions of European laborers, and the experiments with government life insurance in Germany. Other members, who were to have reported, were absent. The program for the meeting of the 26th was as follows. Review of Benjamin Kidd's "Social Evolution," by Professor Blackmar, Report or current economic literature, by B. B. McCall and miscellaneous reports and discussion. Dr. Morrison, a missionary to India, led chapel Tuesday morning. Logan is personally acquainted with the Sylvan Grove bank robbers. Dr. William's Bible class will not meet on Thursday night on account of the Thanksgiving holidays. Piatt suggests that the proper design for a K. U. pin is a brownie holding in his hands a five dollar gold piece. E. C. Ludlum's father, A. Lublum, superintendent of the McPherson schools, visited him last week. Several of the Nebraskans visited the University on the Monday morning after the game. Flippan was one of them. The Glee and Banjo clubs are said to be better this year than ever before. The tenor, which has usually been the weakest part, is very strong. According to the Courier of the University of Pennsylvania, the Princeton "Tiger" is disgusted with the school, and is seeking employment with Hagenbeck. The electric lighting fixtures for Spooner Library have arrived and are being put in place. They have been very much needed for some time, and are as beatiful as they are useful. Gomer Thomas has re-introduced the custom of wearing black court plaster to heighten the complexion. The effect is so striking that a great many of the students will doubtless take up this fad. Last Sunday's meeting of the University Young Men's Christian Association was in charge of the delegates who went to the State Convention at Ottawa. They gave short reports of some of the more prominent features of the convention.
