flutter wildly as if seized with an intense desire to escape from its sad hot. And well it might have fluttered, had it known what was yet in store for it
In its first week of dish-towel life, he had seen but the least of its troubles. The uses to which it was destined after it had come forth from the first washing, were various indeed. The maid was always forgetting where she had put her holder, and the dish-towel hanging so near the stove was often hurriedly caught up to fill the place of the missing article. Once it was used to pick up a hot stove book, another time to lift a pan of bread from the oven, and once when it had been folded into a square to be used as a holder when the maid was ironing, one corner had slipped down and lain help less on the side of the iron till a great place was scorched almost black. The scorched spot afterwards fell out and left an unsightly-rigged-edged hole.
In spite of misuse and neglect, the towel lived on week after week till finally, one cold winter day after it had dried an unusually large number of lids and had been snuggled in many places by tin edges worn rough by long use, it was thrown, all damp and limp, in a heap upon the kitchen table where it hay neglected and forgotten for many hours. It shivered with cold all the afternoon and when night came and the fire went out, it felt itself growing stiff and numb until finally it lost all consciousness.
In the morning when the maid came and found it frozen, and dirty and buried besides, she flung it in the fire just set roaring in the stove, when all of it that was mortal disappeared in the flames.

In speaking of the diction of an author we frequently say, the proportion of Anglo Saxon words employed is, as the case may be, great or small. So closely connected with French, Greek and Latin is the English language, that few of us realize what a difficult thing it would be to confine ourselves, even in conversation, to Anglo Saxon words. The following sketch shows, however, that it is possible to express ourselves without employing words derived from other languages than the Anglo Saxon:
She was a pretty little child with big, blue eyes and light, silky hair that lay in ringlets all over her head. When I knew her she was nearly a year old, and brimful or coming ways as a little one could be. It kept some one on the watch all day, when she was not asleep, to keep her from swallowing plus or rags or threads that had missed the eye of the whoid did the sweeping, but which baby had found upon the floor. She could not walk yet when I knew her, but she could creep on hands and knees with no small speed. The way she could get over the floor was astonishing. Every morning when she was bathed and cleaned up for the day, she would go flying to the stove in the sitting room. As it was summer, there was hardly ever a fire in the stove and so, if left to her own sweet will, she would sit down, open the stove door, and pull out rags, sticks, ashes, and whatever else had gathered there all in a heap upon her lap. This was but one of the many ways in which she could bury herself for almost any length of time. Another thing she used to love to do was to creep away to the bread box, pull off the lid, hold a loaf of bread under her little fat arm, and strew the floor with blits broken from the loaf. It is needless to say that no care was spared to turn the mind of the little maid to ways of busying herself that would be less worrysome to her elders.

The World's Fair is past, but the people who attended it are just beginning to tell the funny things they saw there. We took dinner in the Woman's Building one day, my father, sister, and L. We had just given our orders to a somewhat elderly lady when a gentleman was given the seat which still remained vacant at our table. Our food was
brought and we were but just beginning to eat when the waiter, having served the man who had seated himself with us, came around to my father and said, "Look at that man, he's dying an't he?" Looking up surprised we saw him bowed down with his face in his hands, but our rear lasted only an instant, for glancing up angrily at the waiter he said, "Madam, I'm in the habit of saying a blessing before I eat."

To-morrow the Athletic Association will take a train load of students and foot bail enthusiasts to Kansas City to support the 'Varsity team in their game against the University of Michigan. Thus far each team has been defeated three times, and each received one of its defeats from the University of Minnesota. Kansas was defeated by a score of 12-6, while Ann Arbor was defeated, 34-20.
Lawrence High school and Topka
High school played an interesting game
of football on McCook field last Saturday.
From the first it was evident that
Topka was outmatched, and at the end
of the first half it was only a question as
to how large a score Lawrence would
make against the boys from the capital.
At the end of the game the score stood
74-0 in favor of Lawrence. Thirty two
points were made in the first half by the
Lawrence High school.
No Cause for Alarm.
Some one who wishes to attitudinize as the prince mover in a scheme, no matter how obnoxious it may be, provided he gain a little cheap notoriety thereby, is advocating a change of the University yell, the grand old 'Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk. K. U.' on the grounds that the phemetics succession is hard on the throat and that the yell is too short. The fellow evidently has a 'pull' on one of the papers, otherwise he would not have been given space for the publication of such nonsense. Who ever thinks of sounding his k'a when he is waving the red and cheering for K. U.?
After our yell has been the admiration and envy of other colleges for fifteen years or more, some one has discovered that there are four k's in it and that their succession kames a constant knoughing and kongestion of the korls. Wonderful discovery! It must be made known at once or thousands of voices will be ruined. 'Lo, I am the benefactor of society!'
As to the length: it is just long enough to be delivered in one volley, beginning with a sharp explosion and ending with a reverberating roar. While other colleges are saving away at their 'Rah Rah, Rah, Zip, Zip, Zip, we are saying multitude with poor poils of thunder, as it were. What more does this would be referrer want? We all know him. His jig is up. Let him seek notoriety by other means.
