them at Atchison, and the 18th at St. Joseph. On the 19th the athletes of the club will join the University students of Brown county in a game of football at Hiawatha, where a concert will be given in the evening. The next day they will be in Marysville, the 21st at Frankfort, the 22d at Washington, and the 23d at Concordia. Christmas night will be spent in Beloit, and probably the 26th at Minneapolis and the 27th at Salina, although full arrangements had not been made with these last two places a few days ago. The next points are Abilene on the 28th, Junction City on the 29th, Topeka on the 30th, and Manhattan on New Years day. From Manhattan the club may go to Holton and give a concert on the 2d and then return to Lawrence.

Leaving Lawrence on Friday Dec. 15:h, the club will give their first concert that evening at Leavenworth where Prof. Farrell's great popularity will ensure them an enthusiastic reception. The next evening will find
GONE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS.

The last ball had rung, but the little German professor, wholly unconscious of everything going on about him, save the conjugation of a verb, showed not the slightest intention of dismissing the class. Rising from his seat at the desk, he walked to the window, emphasizing every step with a nod of the head, and a "Very good. Very good. Very good, indeed, Miss Christy."
Looking out of the window, and to all appearances watching the scattering snowflakes as they whirled around the corner of the building, but in reality not seeing one of them, the professor continued the recitation by calling on "next" to give a synopsis of sitzen. "Next," finding it difficult to get starred on the jingle, as he called it, rather apologetically substituted for the synopsis, the fact that the last bell had rung over five minutes ago.
"Is that so," said the professor, and he hurried back to his desk "Why I had not even heard the first one yet. I beg your pardon, young ladies and gentlemen, for having detained you. In advance, you may prepare the whole of the next lesson The class is excused."
At the sound of the familiar words, which were to set free these restless creatures for two whole weeks, most of the boys and some of the girls made a rush for the door. A moment later the lower halls were ringing with their voices.
John Reed had not been in such a hurry to leave the class room. I can see him now as he sat there wrapping up his books in an old newspaper, in order that the snow might not get on them. With his toes turned in he presented the general appearance of awkwardness His clothes were shabby, but clean; and from under that bushy red hair, these peeped out an honest, bright, though freckled, face He was repeating to himself "One week more and I shall see her."
When John reached the lower hall he found a great comotion there. A crowd had gathered around the bulletin
board, and a tall Freshman was reading in a loud voice the following notice :
"Holiday vacation Dec. 21 to Jan. 3, inclusive."
"Well, I like that," said one.
"The change don't make any particular difference to me," said another, "but I do object to the principle of the thing."
John could not believe his ears, but he was forced to believe his eyes. For there before him, in great big blue letters, was the notice that was to spoil all his plans for vacation. The jests of others about not having enough money to pay the extra board bill, and about having to walk home, were serious considerations for him. His plans had been made and expenses calculated to a penny. Nothing remained but to go home on the next Friday as he hid planned to do, miss three days of school, and probably as many quizzes
He drew a sigh and passed out of the building. In the meantime the German professor up in the top story
"I wonder," thought John, "why it is that no one ever takes me by the arm and says, "Come along, old fellow!" I suppose its my clothes, but perhaps its the color of my hair; it is enough to keep them off."
The disappointed boy walked slowly to the other end of the hall, where a long row of hooks held the boys' caps and overcoats. It was not difficult for John to find his cap, for it was the only one under which there did not hang some kind of an overcoat. But he had an old fashioned rod wollen "comforter" which did service as an overcoat, and he wrapped his throat and ears up in this. If he had no overcoat, he had the satisfaction of knowing that his doing without one and other necessities, had made it possible for his mother to go on a visit to Maine. And it was she whom he was counting on seeing one weeek from that day.
"Come along, old fellow," said one boy to another. "Don't you know it's dinner time? I'm as hungry as a bear!"
football man. His north face, more rugged than handsome, and the rolling motion of his tall, muscular figure, unconsciously attract one. He does not know, as he takes his seat, that we are all furtively watching him When the Pol. Econ. fiend at the desk asks him a question, he colors under his sunburn.—Harvard Advocate.
r. r. j谬论。
"Behold! what a great fire a little matter kindleth." By some piece of carelessness or ignorance on the part of some exchange editor, somewhere, the report was started that Yale College is preparing to relegate Greek to a secondary place in the curriculum. This report, surprising in its nature, has been tossed to and fro in numberless college papers, until it passes for genuine coin. How false the report is may be known by the following words from a man who for several years has been and still is a prominent professor in Greek at Yale College: "The statement that Yale is preparing to relegate Greek to a secondary place in her curriculum is entirely erroneous. Yale has four full professors appointed for life, to teach Greek only, besides two other instructors, and they are all busy and expect to be more s."—College Rambler.
