"Yes sir" replied the clerk, at the same time attempting a clerk's smile.
"Got the 'Man in the Moon?"
The clerk looked at him questioningly, but he, misinterpreting the glance as an answer in the negative, went on.
"Well, give me 'After the Ball.'"
The clerk still looked doubtful, and taking down the music catalogue, blaudy asked.
"Vocal or instrumental?"
"Either one. Don't matter," said our country friend.
After a few moments search the clerk replied that neither of the desired pieces were in.
"All right," stolidly answered the youth as he left the counter.
The disappointed customer resumed his former careless position, but the expression of his face plainly showed his chagrin at not being able to carry back to his country friends the songs that were on everybody's lips.

The proper pronunciation of words of our own language requires daily study. Every time we hear or read a word, the meaning or pronunciation of which is not known to us, we should make it a point to go to the dictionary and learn both. Just as the spelling of words is changing every day, so is the pronunciation. The tendency is to spell words more nearly as they are pronounced, but it will be a long time before colonel will be spelled kurnel. It is no wonder that foreigners find it so difficult to learn the English language, when we consider how many words we have whose pronunciation is the same, but whose meanings are so entirely different. Take the word rain, and just think of the confusion that must arise from hearing rain, reign and rein, all pronounced alike. Certainly there is need of reform in our present system of spelling and pronunciation.
IN THE READING ROOM.
They were oblivious to all the world; for that moment, they lived only for each other. It was a touching sight, their complete forgetfulness of their surroundings in the first draught of love's intoxicating cup, and nearly every student in the reading room—and it was full—stopped in his study to watch the happy couple sitting side by side between the two long tables. He was "from Jawuson county." it was plain, and had not wholly passed the Freshman period of abbreviated trousers-legs and coat-sleeves, of cowhide boots and cellulol collars. She was slider and her shoulders stooped, or perhaps it was only due to her leaning forward so eagerly to listen. He was so tall, however, that he could better lean across; and he was doing so until their faces were all most together. The similarity of their complexions was remarkable; each face looked as if it had been spread over with a layer of pumpkin mixed just ready to be dipped into the pie-pans.
Without doubt the interest that drew them so close was mutual. A month before, nothing could have drawn his attention from the book that now lay open but unused, beside him. She held a magazine in her hand, but her eyes scarcely reted on it, except when she dropped them beneath his strong gaze Their voices sometimes were low, sometimes swelled into an undertone that could be heard to the farthest corner. Occasionally they laughed happily together, and, as their conversation went on, her features lost the scared expression that was usual to them. A librarian stood at the table and watched them. A quizzical smile hovered upon her face, but she retrained from disturbing them, even when their talk was most annoying. An assistant laughed and whispered. "Actually, he has forgotten that he does not know where to dispose of his hands."
A Senior leaned back lazily against the steam pipes, and watched them over his magazine. Time and again he caught their eyes and thought they would know
he had been watching them, but eviden-
ly were too much engrossed to think of that. Two girls sitting closer to them
lurgbed about at some of their actions,
but it did not disturb them.
Presently the Senior got up and tried to pass out between their chairs, but found them too close, and had to go back and around the table. So they batted on delightedly in the stream of their affection. Students went and came about them, and librarians eyed them warningly, but without effect. They could hear nothing but their soul's voices, see nothing but the soul within each others eyes. One by one the readers went out, until but two or three remained, and still the two pale yellow heads hung close together. The six o'clock bell rang without awaking them from their blissful communion, and only the thrice-repeated call of "Reading room closed" roused them from their rapture. Then, as if suddenly becoming conscious of all the attention their owners had attracted, the mixed pumpkin complexions flushed to a deep crimson. The girl looked as frightened as usual, and the hands were valiably trying to find where they belonged, as the heavy boots clupped awkwardly out behind her into the hall.

FOOTBALL NOTES
Princeton and Yale play on Thanksgiving.
All should have gone to Kansas City
Thanksgiving to see K. U., play M. S, U.
Yale has a record of winning 118 games out of 121. The total score is 5520 to 92.
Other games: At Denver, D. A. C, 30,
School of Mines, 12. At New York,
Lehigh, 32. North Carolina, 0. M.S. U.
, 24. Pastime A. C., 12.
The standing of the teams in the Quad-
rangular league is as follows;
Games won. Games Lost.
Games Won. Games Lost.
K. U. 2 0
M. U. 1 1
I. U. 1 1
N. U. 0 3
Thus, K. U. stands a good chance for the pennant.
Yale defeated Harvard last Saturday by a score of 60. This is their seventeenth victory over that team. In the first half neither side scored. The captain of the Harvard team was injured and had to leave the game. In the second half, Yale played an offensive game and succeeded in scoring. The game ended with the ball on Yale's 35 yard line.
It will not be long before our football enthusiasts will have to give way to college oratory. Very little has yet been done among the students in the line of oratorical training. Since chapel orations are no longer required, and our literary societies arouse so little enthusiasm, the oratorical flame has been almost extinished. We must, however, send a representative to the oratorical contest who shall do credit to our University, and the sooner action begins, the better.
Are you still loyal to K. U? Are you at all interested in what is happening daily on Mount Oread? Do you appreciate the STUDENTS JOURNAL? If so, kindly evince your appreciation by sending a dollar at one to citizen of the Business Managers. We cannot waste more time urging this matter and if your dollars are not forthcoming we will conclude that you do not care for the STUDENTS JOURNAL, and will cease sending it. If this is marked it means you!
