acquaintance with Howells should make haste to do so at once. There is much profit and much pleasure to be derived from the novels and fares of this idealistic realist who has well pictured the American life of the present
**
All admirers of magazine literature will regret the retirement of Mr. Howells from the editorial chair of the Cosmopolitan. His short experience in that position showed him that he could not do the required work, and keep up his private writing. Unwilling to let anything pass under his name to which he had not given his personal supervision, he gave up his position with the Cosmopolitan and will devote his entire time to literature in the true sense of the word. What the Cosmopolitan loses, therefore, will be the gain of a larger circle of readers. His writings will probably appear in various magazines, though he still retains a connection with the Cosmopolitan. Mr. Howells is seriously considering Europe as his future home, but his future plans promise some exceedingly pleasant reading for the public.
MC'S AWFUL PLIGHT,
ad Before Adelphic Literary Society,
"Twas Sunday night within the church,
and mayy had assembled there.
To ring the psalms, to assemble the Lord,
And offer unto him their prayer.
Our president was present
And seated in a pew,
He hoped without disturbance,
To hear the sermon through.
Deep wrapped in thought, he quiet sat,
And never moved a limb.
Until a mouse espied his pants,
And quickly clamb red in
Uu, up, he crawled, Me felt his claws,
And get he dare not yell.
But what he thought and what he said
It wouldn't do to tell.
He must do something quick, yes quick,
No longer could he wait,
For mouse gaited at every jump,
And soon 'twould be too late.
He grabbed the spot where mouse was,
And squeezed it pants and all;
We heard the sound of breaking bones,
Bove "crown him Lord of all."
"We've not the enemy, they're ours"
QoM. We拿 with haughty air;
Then looked for mouse on the floor
But lo, it wasn't there.
To think he could not get his prize,
Indeed, it made him frown;
But soon he fastened on a plan,
That brought the victim down.
He shook his foot, he shook himself
And then he shook his head;
Poor mouse fell upon the floor,
Llifess, brushed and dead.
Mc gazed upon his victim,
Who thus did shelter search;
And prayed that he forgiven be.
Of murder in a church.
Spring bottom pans no more he wears,
Where'er he goes that way,
But tucks securely in his bo ths,
Or ties them d win to stay.

A Demo-Pop Club.
In answer to a call, posted ok the general bulletin board there met in the Jeffersonian hall last Thursday night about sixty-five democrats and people's partyites. This meeting was an adjourned session of a meeting held the night before and was for the purpose of electing permanent officers and adopting a constitution. Officers were elected as follows: Mr. Orr. president; Ben J. Horton, vice president; J. H. Mustard, secretary; J. V. May, treasurer.
Thursday was settled upon as the regular meeting night, and the name "Fusion Club"was given to this body. The meeting was very enthusiastic and the boys left, feeling confident that they would have a good attendance at all sessions.
The unique feature of the Columbian parade in New York was the presence of the Carlisle battalion. These 300 Indian boys and fifty Indian girls, the descendants of those first Americans who were here before Columbus discovered the West Indies, are in themselves an unmatched proof of our progress, and showed that what Columbus hoped—the conversion to Christianity of the natives of this contiment—is now at last in a fair way of accomplishment. —Kansas City Gazette.

THE COLLEGE CAT.
THE COLLEGE CAT.
A little waff with dreamy eyes
Of blue,
That often one'd in mild surprise
At you.
Came to us once as in our room
We sat—
It came and gained our hearts so soon—
This cat.
'Twould sit near by as day grew dim
And purr;
We each had grown attached to him—
Or her.
But Fate* one day came down
Upon
Our cat and fired it out of town—
It's gone.
*The negro janitor.

Fair state of ours where poets sing Of a land of plenty and a home of peace. Where from the furrowed acres spring A wealth for all the world's increase.

Try it fellows, such heat makes good foot ball men.
Kansas is represented in Center college by Buell Duffy, Fulton and Hendee.— Centy.
Ten thousand dollars have been bid for the first World's Fair souvenir coin which has not yet been struck, neither has it been sold.—Clipper.
An admirer of Grover Cleveland calls him the Cincinnatus of American politics. But did old Cincinnatus hire a substitute, and did Grover Cleveland ever plow much?—Inter Ocean.
The University of Pennsylvania foot ball team beat the Crescent Athletic team at Eastern park, Brooklyn, the afternoon of Oct. 15, by a score of 23 to 0.
There lately appeared an advertisement in an English paper for an editor of a first-class journal, it being expressly stipulated that 'he must be a practical man of the world. No one who has graduated at Oxford or Cambridge need apply."-Clipper.
Washburn boasts of a sprinter. Osborne by name, who, they say, will show K. S U.'s fast runner how to run next spring at the field day sports. What's the master with Baker's man? We think we will be in it a little ourselves.—Baker Beacon.
It was K. S. U.'s day Saturday. The tennis players who came up to compete with Washburn took everything easily. In singles, Whitman won from Kelly by the scorca 6-1, 6-3, 6-2. Sherman and Alden won the doubles over Kelly and Elements, 6-0, 6-0—Topeka Capital.
The independent and fraternity men of the University of Kansas are on the war path. The independents have begun a systematic opposition to what they call the "usurpation of honors by fraternity men." These far westerners will make interesting times in the Kansas University. They ought to take example from Centre, where barbs are civilized, frats are fraternal and general harmony prevails.—Cento.
In view of the high price of coul. i may be well for people who are not rich to learn how to make each pound go as far as possible. A ten pound lump of anthracite carried rapidly around the room on the shoulder by one not accustomed to exercise will impart a considerable glow of warmth to the whole system.-Chicago News.
The Centre College Cento devotes a couple of pages this week to the life of Gen. Adlai Stevenson, democratic candidate for the vice presidency. Mr. Stevenson is a graduate of the class of '56 and a resident of Danville. The article, including a fine engraving, is a neat tribute paid by the Cento to an alumnus of the college.
The shooting of the University students at Lawrence by a young vagabond had its beginning in the persistent perusal of dime novels. The young man is a member of one of the best families of Lawrence but like too many boys,
he was allowed to run the streets and early learned to smoke cigarettes and play billiards. He has become self-willed and can no longer be controlled by the home. Now the state will have a chance to try its hand, for he will undoubtedly be sent to the penitentiary, convicted of an attempt to kill. It is a sad termination to what might have been a useful man. —Newton Republican.
The handsomest monthly which has reached this department is the Central College Centre of Danville, Ky. In richness of form and value of contents it is a perfect jewel. It is a good example of what can be accomplished. Furthermore it is conducted by Kansas boys. George Fulton, of Harper county, is editor-in-chief; Al M. Hendee is managing editor. They are "standing up for Kansas" in a creditable manner. Mr. Fulton immediately stepped into the presidency of the State Oratorical association upon his arrival in Kentucky. Center College is the alma mater of Adlai Stevenson, the Breckinridges, Clays and Crittendens.

The barbarians and fraternity men of the University of Kansas are on the war path. The barbarians have begun a systematic opposition to what they call the "usurpation of honors by fraternity men." These far-westerners will make interesting times in the Kansas University. They ought to take example from Centre, where Barbs are civilized. Frats fraternal and general harmony prevails. —Cento.
