BRIEF COLLEGE ITEMS.
The Kansas State Normal oven is not such a warm thing as its name would indicate.
It is announced that there are 942 students at Missouri University. We wonder if that includes Coach White?
The Purple and Gold published by Bellevue College of Bellevue, Neb., is certainly a credit to that institution. It contains valuable reading matter and is neatly and successfully gotten up. The students of that institution should be congratulated upon their paper.
The Washburn Review has caught the fever and last week took occasion to comment on the experiment of the Rev. Mr Shelden. The "Review" is rapidly becoming cosmopolitan.
Poor Washburn Even its basket ball team has been defeated three times this year and the season has scarcely opened.
The Daily Cardinal from the University of Wisconsin is chuck full of advertising and just a little shy on reading matter.
Next summer and fall, Paris will be the scene of the Olimpian Games, in which athletes from America, Germany, France and England will contest in tennis, base ball, foot ball and track events.
The Otterbein Aegis published at the Otterbein university of Ohio is a neat little magazine but it's editor persists in running essays and original poems.
The Ariel of the University of Minnesota is soon to be a daily.
The dramatic club of the University of Minnesota is to present the School for Scandal soon. This club is not any more particular than the one time club of K. U.
The College of Emporia will not have a base ball team this spring.
Fairmount College of Wichita, will receive a donation of $50,000 from a Boston man, providing $150,000 more can be raised.
It is learned from good authority that the Baker students are practicing some "new" yells, and songs for the State Oratorical contest. We wonder where they got them?
ANOTHER GLEE CLUB STORY.
How Manager Copley Was Scared Out of a Year's Growth.
The Glee Club boys report a good joke on their manager, Mr. Copley. While they were waiting at Cherokee to catch the train to Girard, twelve miles distant, one of the members hatched up a diabolical plot to scare the manager out of a year's growth. He had seen Mr. Copley buy the tickets for the eighteen members and he noticed also that the tickets had been carlessly deposited in one of Mr. Copely's side pockets. With the defiance of one of the light fingered fraternity, he relieved the manager of this precious bit of paper and then put the rest of the boys on
It was then decided to let the conductor into the game in order to carry the joke to the end. As soon as the train pulled in, the ticket was turned over to the conductor and the boys all collected in the smoker to see the fun. As the conductor passed through the car collecting fare, he was almost always met with the response, "Company, collect from the manager."
Finally the manager was approached and he immediately dug down into the pocket in which he was accustomed to carry such articles and a noticeable pallor came over his face. From this pocket his hand wandered nervously to others and then both hands were actively employed in racing from one pocket to another, inside and out, only to return to the first and begin again the vain search.
The pallor had given way to a flush as the manager realized his embarrassing situation and the conductor offered to collect the other fares and then return for the club tickets.
But the grace allowed was not sufficient for the discovery of the missing article and when the conductor returned Mr. Copley was still somewhat heated. The conductor was a very kind hearted man and offered his sympathy, but the position left but two courses open to him. He must either collect full fire or pull the bell cord.
A few of the boys volunteered to take chances on the latter course as they were then within a few miles of their destination. But Mr. Copley generously refused to make the boys walk, and he sat down to figure up the amount. While busy with his calculation the conductor made a suggestion which immediately disspelled all traces of care from the manager's worried face, and which brought him to his feet on the instant. The conductor had intimated that it might be possible that the ticket had fallen on the inside of Mr. Copley's vest, or in some way slipped down in his clothing, and that if he wished he could go up in the wash room and investigate.
The manager fairly jumped at the chance and left the car amidst the smothered laughter of the passengers, all of whom had by this time learned the particulars

of the case. It was some little time before Mr. Copley made his reappearance and it was seen from the forced expression on his face that he had resigned himself to the inevitable. He had probably been revolving in his mind the old adage, 'Don't cry over spilled milk.'
It was at this point that the conductor showed the true generosity of his spirit and at the same time made for himself a home is the appreciative heart of Mr. Copley. He offered to accept Mr. Copley's word of honor that he bought a ticket and said that he would telegraph back from Girard to the ticket agent in Cherokee.
Just as this agreement was reached, the whistle sounded for Girard. The promoters of this little joke were the first ones to leave the train and before Mr. Copley could get his heavy grips to the platform there was a bogus telegram in the depot, purporting to be from Cherokee and saying that a club ticket, such as the one in question, had been purchased not an hour before.
Mr. Copley made a rush for the telegraph office and arrived just in time to meet the conductor coming out with the telegraph in his hand. It was a rich treat to the boys and also to the conductor, to see the naturally happy face assume its old time expression.
The conductor could not accept all of the thanks of the manager and hastened away through the crowd to his train.
