EXCHANGES MELANGE: THE TWO MAIDS. Two maids as fair as maids can be; Fair twins, both blonde are they. But both coquettes and shallow-soused, Dressed up in style to-day. They paint sometimes when color fails; Delight in laces fine. Two maids, two royally-made are they, These russet shoes or mine. —Williams Weekly Williams Weekly. FOR OUR TEUTONS: DIE BESTE MUNDART Man stritt wohl lange hin und her, Was wohl die beste Mundart werer— Ich hаб' gefunden—wollt Ihr'a wissen? Die beste Mundart ist—das Russen! -- Filiëte blaetter The success of a terms work in school depends largely upon the wav it is begun. If a good beginning is not made there is a tendency to drag a long, thinking that next term will be soon enough to go to work in earnest. Much is lost in this way. Be vigilant and make a good start — Holton Informer. The K. S. U. is experimenting with chapel orations this year—Round Table. Yes, and it is hard work too. The republican boys in the big 7th went home to vote and came back wearing crape, and a long face—Round Table. Several K. U. men are of the same crowd and hereafter will claim Lawrence as their home. No. 2 of the Kansas University Quarterly has reached our reading table. The magazine is well printed and contains over fifty pages of valuable contributions to science. It is a credit to the faculty of the University.—Industrialist. The last issue of the Cornell Era was the "Inauguration Number" and infolded a handsome engraving of the new president of that school, J G. Schurman. The Era contains the inaugural address delivered on Nov. 11. It is a strong and inspiring production indicating as all friends of the institution believe, the beginning of a new prosperity tor Cornell University. One would take the Holton Reformer for an organ of the prohibition party rather than a college paper, if a few of its editors were omitted. The College Gem, of Lexington, Mo., says "The Argo-Reporter devotes too much of its brief space to locals, however its editorials are good." Thank you for the compliment and as to the locals we expect to give them the chief place in three issues each month for it is in them that the average student takes the most interest. This however, is our Literary number, and we ask you to take a look at it before making too general a statement—Argo Reporter. You are right, neighbor Argo. Stick to your position. The University of Nebraska has abolished the time honored names of senior, junior, sophomore and freshman and in the future no distinction will be made in nomenclature, save in the case of the freshman year, which will be known as the first year of residence. The number of hours per week taken by each student determines his advancement.-The Illini. The handsome literary edition for November of the Argo Reporter appeared last week. Under Athletics the editor endeavors to tell the truth about Washburn foot ball matters and succeeds in exciting the sympathy of every true bred college man, to say the least. He incidentally pays a tribute to our faculty and chancellor which is all the more appreciated because unexpected: "We once stood for a whole afternoon, with feet on a six inch scantling and hands clinging to the top of the board fence around the K. U. athletic grounds, while a few feet away stood Chancellor Snow in the same position cheering the K. S. U. team on to victory with all the enthusiasm of a boy, and we ceased to wonder why K. U. always won. Chancellor Snow headed the triumphal procession when the boys celebrated their Denver victory, and together with the whole face y has taken an active and vital interest in K. U. athletics." Fuel at lowest prices, Griffin's. The Next Lecture. The next entertainment in the lecture course will be given at Bowersock's opera house Thursday evening, Dec. 1. It will be a lecture by the Hon. Chas. Emory Smith, ex minister to Russia and editor of the Philadelphia Press. Mr. Smith is one of the best known men in this country, and it was by the merest chance that the University lecture bureau was so fortunate as to make this engagement with him. The subject of his lecture will be: "Are we worse than our fathers?" Of this lecture on the occasion of its first delivery, the New York Sun declared that it was a pity that every student in the country could not have heard it. The chart will be a Leis' drug store and will be open at 7:30 o'clock Tuesdav evening. Nov 29. The Faculty Concert. The concert given by the faculty of the school of music at Music Hall last Thursday night, was one of the most pleasant concerts ever given in the city. The hall was crowded and everyone was felighted with the splendid program given. The interior of Music Hall was very prettily fixed up and its attractiveness added much to the pleasure of the occasion. The young ladies of the senior class acted as ushers. After the concert a reception was given the audience and helped make the evening plessuer. AMUSEMENTS. Y "A Social Session," to be presented at the opera house Friday night. Nov. 25, is one of the funniest plays ever written. Riplete with singing, dancing and specialties; a skillful blending of delicious humor, sparkling scenes, melodious songs, popular music, bristling with the livelies: sort of funny situations. A continuous stream of laughter from beginning to end. Saturday night. Nov. 26, the famous Anderson comedians will appear in the most brilliant of musical farce comedies "Two Old Cronies," with an immense cast. The greatest serpentine dancer, our whirlwind trio, the march drill of the lady police, our cute and modest little widows, "the man who wrote Ta-ra-ra Boom de ay," our fine effects and elegant costumes, the song and dance of the dudes. Other eminently pleasing features. Fred Bassett was convicted in District Court after a three days' trial, of the dastardly crime committed last month in the shooting of Will E. Higgins and Jack Cracraft. Bassett Convict d. Alex Mitchell, assisted by J. W. Green conducted the prosecution, against J. Q. A. Norton, Geo. J. Barker and W. W. Newton for the defense. Bassett will be sentenced next week. He was convicted of assault, which if death had ensued, would have been man-slaughter in the fourth degree, the punishment ranging from six months in the county jail to five years in the penentiary, at the discretion of the court. The defense made an able showing considering the hopelessness of their cause. Old Mr. Potter's familiar figure will be seen no more bustling along the streets of Lawrence. Wednesday morning he went up to Snow Hall to look at Prof. Dy he's animals before they should go to Chicago. While standing viewing Gen Custer's war horse Comanche, his heart suddenly ceased its action and he fell dead to the floor. Mr Potter was eighty-six years old and a long-time resident of Lawrence. He was always spry and cheerful up to the very day of his death, and used often with pardonable pride to boast of his long continued physical strength. Last Monday's Kansas City Journal contained a good account of Prof Dyche's exhibit for the World's Fair. The same account appeared in the Record Tuesday night.

There is an a man, woman or child who is so fond of candy that he boasts candy, and did they ever stop to think that there is a difference in candy? one candy is mad of impure and refuse good- and is her inferior covered up with fancy wrappers, while candy when pure is on the stomach only presses the way to a relaxation of health.
