WHERE THE SUNFLOWERS BLOOM.
[Albert B. Payne in Minneapolis Tribune]
I've been off on a journey, I jes' got home today;
I've v'e availd East an' north an' South, and every other way;
I've seen a heap of country, an' cities on the boom,
But I want to be in Kansas when the Sun-
Flowers
Bloom.
Oh, it's nice among the mountains, but I sorter felt shit in;
"I would be nice on the sea shore if it wasn't for the din;
While the prairies air so quiet, an' there's always lots of room;
Oh, it's nicer still in Kansas when the Sun-
Flowers
Bloom.
You may talk about yer lillie, yer v' let an' yer' roses.
Yer asters an' yer jassimens, an' all the other pos'es;
I'll allow they all air beauties an' full 'er sweet perfume,
But there's none of 'em a patchin' to the Sun-
Flowers'
Bloom.
When all the sky above is jest as blue as blue kin be,
An'the prairies air a wavin' like a yaller driftin' sea
Oh, 'tis here my soul goes saiin' an' my heart is on the boom.
In the golden fields of Kansas when the Sun-
Flowers
Bloom.
The STUDENTS JOURNAL, of the Kansas University, is one of the new departures in college journalism. It's a hummer, and a thoroughly newsy sheet. —Center College Cento.
Platt played a mean, low-lived slug ging game. It will not always be thus. Baker Beacon.
Miss L.—Why! Mr. S. is a fine foot ball player. He is such a nice tackler. Winnie—Wonder how she knows.
Tell the truth, dear Beacon. You called him a gentleman until he beat you at your own game.
We have received the first copy of the STUDENTS JOURNAL published at the State University. It is a very interesting sheet and if it continues in the same manner and with the same end in view it will prove a success and benefit to the school,—College Life, Emporia.
Politica' clubs seem to be an important feature in college life this year. Yale has a Republican club uniformed with blue mortar-boards and light dusters with long capes. Cornell has a Democratic club, Leland Stanford jr., a republican club; the University of Michigan a Republican club which boasts a membership of fifteen hundred; and at Vassar both Republican and Democratic clubs have been organized. Members of the two clubs will participate in a joint debate to be held soon.
A large ladies' class has been formed at our Gym. -Center College Cento.
Professor Ross and his associate in the department of economics have taken upon themselves the task of selecting each week, from the various periodicals, the economic literature of special merit, and on Monday of each week a printed copy of the selections made is given to every student in economics. The object is to tell the students where to go to get the best article on the subjects of the day. It is a new thing here and is fully appreciated by the students. Cornell Era.
The department bulletin board will hold a list that will satisfy every K. S. U. student.
The opportunities for undergraduate work are not one whit better in Harvard, Yale and Princeton than they are in forty other American colleges. And in reality the smaller colleges oter many advantages which cannot be had at any price in the institutions which base their pretensions to being "great" colleges merely upon the great number of students whom they are obliged to instruct and care for at a given time.—Review of Reviews.

The Athletic association is a paying investment.
"Never Defeated," (Can we say that at the end of the season?)
Perhaps the elevation was too great for the Illinois foot ball team.
Next Saturday Rock Chalk will be heard once more on the streets of Kansas City.
No wonder the Illinois team was defeated. Champagne does not flourish well in Kansas.
Stranger from Anywhere; "Yes, I've heard about K. U. It has the best foot ball team in the west."
When the K. U. and Washburn teams lined up, a young lady wanted to know if they were going to fight.
The game of foot ball is over four hundred years old. Was America discovered for foot ball or foot ball for America?
The greatest punishment that the disciplinary committee could inflict would be to hypnotize the refractory student until after the foot ball game.
We have strange art critics in the University. The other day a little curly, lop-ened dog, while visiting the History of Art class, went up to the Rorghese Warrior, examined him (critically and deliberately and then barked his approval
The following remarks made by a Washburn student at the foot ball game, shows that due attention paid to athletics by a university is beneficial. He said: "Next year I am going to K. S. U. I don't want to have the horse laugh on me all the time."
The Nineteenth Century for October has an article on the New Foot Ball Man. It says: "The political economist can not afford to neglect the foot ball glups of our day. * * * * * *
The expenditure on lint and liniments, such as Anti Stuff and Friar's Balsam, is also not slight. One team last season got through a mile of bandages."

The second game of the Triangular League series was played last Saturday on McCook field.
36 TO 0
Washburn puts up a very boor game. They played a game which could hardly be called foot ball.
K. U. Vs. Washburn.
K, U. did not play as well as on former occasions from the fact that the game did not require it.
The only interesting feature of the game were the fine tackling of Shepard and Dumn and the long runs by Champlin and Springer. The goal kicking by Platt was the best ever done in a K. U. game. Platt kicked every goal. The score would have been larger than 36 to 0 had Washburn not required so much time telling signals to their men.
Language Conference.
In the Language Conference yesterday C. M. Sherer read a paper on the Historical Novel. He said writing historical novels is wasting energy; because, supposing that the reader is able to distinguish the historical from the fictitious parts—which one can not often do—more historical knowledge would be disseminated by the same amount of energy if expended in writing real and true history.
Prof. Canfield gaye a talk on the work of Ernest Renan, saying Renan at first wrote dogmatically but later became courteous as his style became polished, and that many affirm that his style is superior to the conclusions drawn.
Prof. Carruth then followed with an exposition of Gottsched's ideas on the drama and comedy. Characters for the drama should be taken from the nobility and characters for comedy from the common people. The professor found that in practice, Shakspeare had not differed materially from Gottsched's views.
