AMUSEMENTS
"QUO VADIS."
BOWERSOCK OPERA HOUSE.
"When the public pay their money to see a good play, it is my firm belief that they should be given its value, said Manager Brady when complimented upon the merit of his production of 'Quo Vadis' the grand religious play which is to appear at the opera house on May 3rd and to that end I have endeavored to fulfill my obligations to my patrons, by mounting the play with necessary scenery, costumes and engaging a competent company to properly present the work." If more managers would reason the same way, the theatre going public would show its appreciation by attending in greater numbers, the ordinary theatrical attraction.

Evolution of Comic Art.
Which is the older of human emotions? Did man first weep or laugh? The pessimist would answer that he wept for sorrow at being created; the optimist would say that he laughed at the absurdity of it all.
However so far as the nations have expressed themselves in art, laughter and tears seem to be about equally ancient. The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans may not have had a Punch, Life, Fuck, Fliegende Blatter, Journal pour Rire, but their frescoes and statues show that they had a keen sense of the ridiculous, at times healthy at others degenerate
It has been the same through all ages. With modern nations as with the ancients comic art has in certain epochs become ribald. There is another curious similarity between the comic art of all ages in the subjects made jest of. The mother-in-law figures in the most ancient frescos and in the latest number of Puck which I have before me. Then as now it was the province of the comic artist to ridicule public men, politics, the foibles of women. Egyptian comic art especially directed its shaft at the last. Ganarii the discoverer of "Les sourbouries de femme!" Evolution in comic art? Has there really been an evolution? Yes, but in manner and workmanship rather than in matter.
The ancient draughtsman was more direct, broader, and coarser than the comic artist of today. But by today I do not mean the modern era or even this century as a whole, but a more limited period. For in its highest expression comic art now is refined and beautiful—it being the scene, the situation, or the subject which amuses; not the grotesqueness of the figures or the coarseness of the suggestion. Antiquity may have had Hogarths, or even Nasts and Kepplers; but it required the nineteenth century to produce a Du Maurier or a Gibson. * * *
The early examples of comic art in this country are rare. One does not usually associate Benjamin Franklin's name with art, yet he was the first American caricaturist or comic artist. In 1754 he devised the picture of a snake severed into eight pieces, representing as many colonies. Out of the serpent's mouth issued a scroll calling upon the colonies to unite, tight and conquer. The title of the drawing was "join or Die."
Class rivalry is still intense, though the old manifestation of it in hazing is dying out somewhat. Still the annual cane rush or spree is general, and many customs, more or less local, keep up the spirit. An amusing example is shown by the use of the word fruit at Yale. The fruit of a freshman is the tag of the shirt where the laundry mark is usually placed; the Sophomores endeavor to remove the vii et armis, and preserve them for trophies as Indians did scalp. * * * * * *
Finally, the custom of co-education gives a large and sometimes amusing vo cabalury. From the institutions for females alone only a few terms came which were not in vogue elsewhere. These are all words pertaining to eating, with one exception, swain, from a girl's boarding house meaning a male acquaintance. But the institutions for both sexes give many words, most of them, of course, referring to the tendency of young people to fall in love and get married, which manifest itself wherever they may be, perhaps no more in college than elsewhere.
The female student is known as co-ed.
This word serves as noun and adjective;
the verb to co-educate means to converse
with a person of the opposite sex.
Hen is a common term for the females student. It is used in various compounds, such as hen-medic for a female medical student, hen-roost for a dormitory for women (quail and quail roost are common variations); at Cornell, Sage College is the name of the women's dormitory, and an inmate is a sage-hen, while a male student who calls there frequently is a sage rooster. Calico or calicu is a sort of generic term for the female sex and is used in various connections; e. g., to *fake calc* is to escort a lady to a place of entertainment or social function; a calico course is a course which is much attended by "heens," or in their presence makes the social element prominent; this term is also used figuratively for a firtiation or love affair more or less serious. A co educational walk is one made of two planks with rough stones between them, far enough apart to prevent too close proximity of two persons using them. A cushioned window seat (or sometimes a hammock) is known as a spoon-holder. A cottage course is the term when a young couple leave college, before graduation, to get married. -The Chautauquan.
The two little books recently prepared by Prof. Carruth, called "Kansas in Literature," are the fifth and sixth numbers of a series of Kansas books now being published by Crane & Co. of Topeka.
Kansas in Literature.
It has long been the wish of Kansas publishers to put into more attainable form the literature of Kansas, or at least to publish a more adequate list of it. There have been many partial attempts at such an undertaking, and during the past year or so these attempts have assumed more and more a definite form, as interest in them has been manifested in many ways.
This interest is due in a measure perhaps to the work of so many of our newspaper men, some of whom are literary men of high standing. E W Howe of the Atchison Globe and of late years William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette have done much to advance the name and fame of Kansas newspaper writers. Then many of the newspapers of the state have taken up the idea and have developed it in one shape or another. The Mail and Breeze has always a page of Kansas anecdotes, rhymes, and short selections called from exchanges. Last summer several newspapers had a corner for "Kansas Rhymes and Rhymers."
At last Crane & Co embodied the idea in this collection, which is called a series of "Twentieth Century Classics," and is designed to present not only the best in Kansas literature, but also several volumes on the history of the state, and articles on her mineralogy, her geography, her natural history, and many other subjects of interest to her people. There is also a list, as complete as possible, of the best of Kansas publications. The managing editor of the series is Professor W M. Davidson, superintendent of the public schools of Topeka. It is published in the form of a magazine, which appears monthly, and the work is done by different men of the state. It has been put on sale at all book stores.
The work for this year as regularly planned at first was divided into three heads, and under these, the different topics to be treated are:
1 John Brown of Kansas.
2 Jim Lane of Kansas.
3 Eli Thayer and the Emigrant Aid So society.
4 Territorial Governors of Kansas. Literature:
7 Kansas in Poetry and Song.
2 Selections from Ironquil.

4 Minerals of Kansas.
These comprise what is called Volume I
The next volume will be the final volume.
4 Kansas Birds.
The next ones are to be historical numbers. Each number contains an introduction which prefaces excellently the work undertaken in the book. That of the volumes on Kansas Literature by Prof. Carruth, is a review of Kansas Literature from its first days, and much is told here that is not only interesting, but to many entirely new. The selections in these two little books are the finest to be found in our Kansas productions.
