More than a century ago, my great-great-great-grandfather Duff lived and died in Peterhead, a small town on the northeastern coast of Scotland®. He was a good man, pious devout, a typical Scottish clergyman. It is related of him in the family records, that "he was a man of God and a powerful preacher"

THE STOLEN SERMON.
MARY E. RIDDLE.
He had three granddaughters, who having lost their father very early in life, had always looked to their Grandfather Duff for paternal care and material support. All three married when quite young - married young Scotch clerg men, and settled down in different parts of Scotland. When the news of Grandfather Duff's death was received, the granddaughters with their husbands immediately hastened to pay their respects to the departed. The grand daughters went undoubtedly from a deep sense of gratitude and affection, but it is to be feared that their husbands were somewhat influenced by their knowledge of the value and extent of Grandfather Duff's estate.
Duff's catechesis.
The granddaughters wept bountifully during the reading of the will, and the grandsons dutifully let fall a few tears. It was found that all "earthly goods" and possessions," with one exception, had been left to the granddaughters. The last provision of the will stated that in the attic of Blackthorn parsonage the three young clergymen would find a barrel of sermons which they might like to 'peruse for their own edification and delight." It was decided that, instead of dividing the sermons, each young minister should copy such as especially suited his fancy, and that the originals should be kept together and handed down from generation to generation as an beirroom. Accordingly they set to work, and before a week had passed they had succeeded in transcribing the most of Grandfather Duff's sermons.
most far from Peterhead is the little Scotch hamlet of Ellon, Grandfather Duff, during his lifetime, had charge of this parish as well as that of Peerbergh. Within two months after his death an invitation was extended to the three grand-sons to fill the pulpit at Ellon on three consecutive Sabbaths. This was done with a view to choosing one of the three men to permanently occupy the position
Mr Paul preached first. He chose for his text, "Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in stents," and as he proceeded with his discourse, many in the congregation wept, for there was in [the sermon the same power and sympathy with which Grandfather Duff had been wont to move his hearers. Indeed, so much pleased was the congregation with Mr. Paul's effort that they gathered about him and begged him "to fill the she'en" of dear old Grandfather Duff. But, with a magnanimous wave of the hand, Mr. Paul would reply: 'Gi the lattice laddes a chance? A body kent they terrible scholars, and they 'ud be credits tea the parish.'
they'd be. The next Sabbath Mr Campbell, with a preliminary cough, and a furtive adjusting of his sombre cravat announced his text, his voice rang out with a decided nasal twang: "Jacob was a plain man dwelling in tents." The more irreverent actually tittered, but they were promptly frowned down by the elders of the congregation. The sermon was listened to in unbroken silence. The same power and sympathy were noticeable in this discourse as in that of Mr. Paul, but they did not move to tears. One old woman muttered, with an ominous shake of her head, "It's a bonnie-woord, but a ken it's an evil sneerit."

He got no farther. The service was abruptly interrupted by a devout but irate highlander, who arose from his seat, gave his plaid a jerk, and smote the floor with his glengarry.
speerit"
The third Sunday the last of the three grandons stood before the assembled Scotch peanuts. He was a handsome man, tall, broad-souldered and possessing a pleasing countenance. Before he had uttered a word the simple folk before him seemed to recognize in him a leader. A hymn was sung a prayer was offered and then the preacher uttered a few broken sentences testifying to the noble qualities of Grandfather Duff and extending sympathy to the bereaved parishioners.

WASHBURN WAS EASY
THE 'VARSITY TOOK THE RETURN
GAME EASILY BY A SCORE
OF 12 TO 1.
T WAS A HA D LUCK STORY.
The Washburn Aggregation is Fast and Plays a High Grade of Ball. But Was a Littl tuff.
About two weeks ago the 'Varsity lost the first game of its long trip to the Congregationalists at Topeka. The game was a hard fought one and was the best Topeka fans had seen for some years. The Washburn nine played a remarkable game of ball, such hitting, base running, such fielding surprised even the Washburn gang itself. Besides fast playing there was a goodly supply of luck in favor of the Washburn nine. All these things went against the 'Varsity nine and it lost the game by a scraatch. It was after that defeat that the Jayhawkers vowed before the gods that they would wallop that Washburn nine good and hard when it came to Lawrence for the return game. Not only did the team make a vow but all of its supporters made a silent promise of defeat to those from the capital city. It was last Saturday that the return game was pulled off on McCook field and the 'Varsity gave its opponents the thorough thrashing
To be explicit the 'Varsity showed this afore menticed aggregation all it had learned about base ball on its eastern trip and it has learned a whole lot. The 'Varsity played ball like old timers. The team has not played such a pretty game before It pays to take trips and things and see how the game is played away from home. Of course the visitors did not expect to win the game but they did not look for such an overwhelming defeat. They played good fast ball, they are a mighty strong lot of players and they played a clever game, but they were not acquainted with the newly acquired tactics of the Varsity, nor could they hit those things that Hall throws, that he learned in the east.
the visitors lost the game mainly owing to the fact that the 'Varsity hammered Randolph so mercilessly. Randolph is a good man and usually pitches great ball but he was little off and was up against a gang of sluggers. Sixteen hits including two three baggers and three two baggers are enough to win a game from any old team.
Addison Housh started the fire works when the first ball of the game was tossed by Randolph by hitting a three sack grounder into left field. This one hit took a good deal of the starch out of the visitors who were limp the rest of the game. In the second inning the 'Varsity' rather made monkeys out of the visitors. Four men crossed the home plate. In the third the home nine clinched the game by adding three more runs. Eight big runs were more than the visitors could overcome. For the next three innings the 'Varsity was retired or rather retired without increasing the score, but in the seventh it added four more for luck.
The visitors were retired in the one, two, three order for three innings. In the fourth they got a man to first, but in the fifth and sixth they fell back into their old habit. In the seventh, with two men on bases, the visitors took courage and a nice sacrifice by Randolph brought Baxter in with their lonely score. The eight and ninth were repetitions of all the others.
It was all done by pounding. Housh, Tucker, Barnett and Hall made three hits each; Frebert two and the others were satisfied with one, except Moore and Malthy, who did not want to hit the old ball any how.
The visitors had some good individual

The Photographer in War.
The recent war and the present Transvaal war have greatly extended the use of the camera. They have also brought forth a figure new and unique, the War Photographer. Armed with nothing but a camera he enters the camp of the soldiers, stays with them on drill and on the march and with the first crack of the enemies rifles he fearlessly advances with the van into the battle. He undergoes the same hardships and is subject to the same perils as his companions in arms.
In a recent issue, Leslies Weekly published several pages of photographs taken by the photographer sent out by Underwood & Underwood. Tommy Atkins is shown in his camp drinking ale and stout on drill, on the march and even in battle line. The men are shown as they are being rushed to the front on foot, by rail and on horseback. Here is shown a battalion preparing to withstand a cavalry charge.
charge.
One view portraits the charge of the British up a kopje. The troops are under a deadly fire and one figure can be seen with arms extended above his head as he is falling struck by the bullet of a Boer sharpshooter.
Another view by the artist is that of a dying bugler, fallen in a charge. He is left behind by the storming column, Supported on the arm of a comrade he is blowing his last call on the instrument held to his lips. With startling fidelity the photographer presents the thrilling and pathetic scenes exactly as they appeared to the eye of his faithful camera.
The daring, perseverance and pluck of the Underwood photographer has awakened a great deal of admiration. Sent out by his firm at the outbreak of the war, he immediately pushed his way to the front in spite of the military obstacles which up to the present time have prevented any other photographer from securing any but camp scenes. Most of his military views have been procured by the United States government for use at West Point. Leslie's Weekly, in publishing some of Underwood & Underwood's views, add these words in comment on the firm and the
value of their goods: "In addition to illustrations by our own artists we publish several pages in this issue from stereoscopic photographs recently made by the enterprising firm of Messrs, Underwood and Underwood of this city, who seem to be making much more out of stereoscopic photographs than has ever been thought possible before. This firm for a number of years has been sending their stereoscopic artists, regardless of expense, to the very ends of the earth to obtain true impressions of every great event, and to bring home to the people of this and other countries the historical and picturesque from all lands. Heretofore, to a great extent, stereoscopic photographs have been thought of merely as a means of entertainment. Recently, however, a great change of sentiment has evidently taken place, for we hear of the pictures being rapidly introduced into University and private libraries, where they are made to serve an educational purpose.
Many pro mitent educators believe that stereoscopic photographs will eventually have a standard place it all educational institutions.
The artist gives us an insight into the methods of warfare we could not obtain otherwise except on the battle field, and the photographs are so vivid that they transport us to the scene of action.

In conversation with a WEEKLY reporter Prof. Vickery said: "There will be three oratorical contests next year for gold medals. One will be held about November 1, another about February 1, and the third about May 1." These contests are annual events, and the student who expects to try for them should begin his preparation now.
Clyde H. Allpam Wins a Scholarship
Prospect for Oratory Next Year.
Mr. Clyde H. Allphin of Leoti, Kansas, and a member of the junior law class, was this week appointed to one of the three free scholarships in the law department of Nashville college, at Nashville, Teen., given by that college to the state of Kansas. The appointment was made by State Superintendent Nelson from several hundred applicants. This law school is one of the best in the United States, and Mr. Allphin is to be congratulated as much upon being able to attend such a school as this, as being chosen to be one of the three representatives of Kansas. His friends, in and out of K. U., are glad to know this honor is his, and think it could not have been better bestowed.
There has been displayed a great deal more interest during the last year than the preceding one. This has manifested itself in better attendance and more participants. The Freshman class has taken an active part this year and if next year's class does as well there will doubtless be some spirited contests next year.
