The Students Herald of the State Agricultural college, announces that the largest tooth in the world is at that institution. The Baker Orange comes back at the Agricultural college claiming that Baker has the greatest collection of fossils west of the Mississippi river. We hope there is nothing personal in the se remarks.
After a stormy contest at Baker last week, Wednesday, during which some of the divines in the excitement even went so far as to yell out in the meeting. Mr. Robert Alonza Loofbourrow was chosen to represent Baker in the state oratorical contest. Judging from his name we should say that Mr. Robert Loofbourrow stood a good chance of winning second place. Of courses our Mr. Mayers will be given first place
Last Sunday was observed as a day of prayer among the institutions of learning all over the world. This was in accordance with the recommendation of the general committee of the World's Student Christian Federation. The committee that selected last Sunday as a day of prayer was composed of the official representatives of the Christian student nt movement of Germany, Scandinavia, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Japan, Ceylon, China and other mission lands including 1,300 student societies with a membership of over 55,000 students. As a day of fervent prayer it has been very rich in its results. This year it was observed in over thirty countries by Christian students. It is a day set apart by persons who were ardent in the endorsement of Christ among the students everywhere and the movement is certainly to be encouraged in every possible manner. The whole week was fittingly observed at Kansas University as a week of prayer. Several meetings were held during the week and last Sunday the ministers of the different churches of Lawrence delivered sermons especially for the students. These services were well attended.
The Missouri State University Independent publishes a column article on the front page of its last issue about the decline of oratory in that institution the scarcity of orators, the difficulty of getting M. S. U. students to take part in the inter-state debate, and calls attention to the fact that M. U. has not won first place in a contest of that kind for years. It is certainly a deplorable condition that exists at our neighboring university, and much to be regretted, but the funny part of it is that on the editorial page of the same issue there is a windy article
on how easy Missouri will lay Kansas in the shade in the debate between these two schools, ending up as follows:
The preliminary contest in which debaters for Kansas are to be selected draws near. We find many able men in the contest. We are certain of a strong team and the subject is an interesting one and deserving of study. We do not fear Kansas in an intellectual contest.
The Independent man certainly is a funny fellow. This article reminds us of some of the extremely funny remarks the Missourians indulged in prior to the great Thanksgiving foot ball game. We have some of them in our scrap book and they are certainly funnier than most of Judge's or Pucks's stories. At that time it was Coach White who had "coached Cornell to victory," that was going to show defeat down the Jayhawker's threats. It turned out, however, that Coach White never coached a college team in his life before and all his connection with the Cornell team was in the capacity of a "sub." It may be true that Missouri is not afraid of Kansas in an intellectual contest with the accent on the intellectual, but it was the same story before the big football game. They are indeed a very windy set of M. S. U, but their confidence in winning the Missouri-Kansas debate leads us to suspect that they have as they did in football imported some "way up people from back east."
The state oratorical contest will be held at Emporia on the evening of February 23rd. The Santa Fe railway company will give one half fare rate. All students that desire to go should give their names to Mr. Bumgardner at once so he may make arrangements for transportation, and have seats reserved. K. U. has a strong representative this year in the person of Mr. Meyers, and all students should lend their support and presence.
Several publications have given the new WEEKLY management very compliment notices for which we are very grateful.

The party gave last night by the youth women of Pi Beta Phi was exceeding preity.

The grand march was led by Prof and Mrs. Green. Two little people, a boy and a girl, charmingly dressed in evening dress, distributed the programs.

LAW SCHOOL NOTES.
Phi Gamma Delta issued invitations this week for their annual dancing party. It will be at New Eldridge hall on Friday, Feb 23.
Prof Burdict caused a great demonstration among the Smiors on Friday morning of last week by announcing that no examination would be required in Railroad law. The Sniers have been carrying more work of late than has heretofore been required of the seats and in view of this fact he deemed it the proper thing to do. With the close of Friday morning class, he finished all work with the 'oo' class, much to the regret of Senior students. His work through the two years has been very earnest, and great good has been accomplished by his efforts.
The Seniors met last week to decide upon a class picture, but owing to so many diverse opinions as to what the class wanted they adjourned to a future date.
Judge Martina is making fine progress with the Equity class.
The Y M C A had a reception at their house on Kentucky Street for Judge Benon last week on Friday night after class.
The sessions of the Seniors under Judge Benson have been held alternately at the court house and the University during the week.

SIDE TALKS WITH GIRLS.
It is somewhat of an innovation for a college paper to run a "side talk" column but since necessity demands it the WEEKLY will gladly consider all requests. Communications relative to this column should be addressed to the Aesthetic Editor, K. U. WEEKLY.
Spare made reader: Of course rainy day dresses are quite the rage from, in fact they are a necessity. From the point of view of health and economy the custom should be fostered. They do not look as good as long dresses, but they do not look bad. As to whether you would look well in one or not it would be impossible for us to say never having seen you thus attured. There are two classes of girls who do not; those classes were mentioned in the 'Idler Column'" of a December WEEKLY. Any of your girl friends can decide this question for you as it seems you do not from your letter, treat him kindly and do not let him impractilly.
Disturbed boarder: Indeed it does grate on one to see a man eat with his knife, especially as you say when he wears a celluloid collar. You can get some of the boys to give him private lessons in eating, and to dispense with the collar, you might also use the boys. Have them buy the collar at twice its value then burn it in the front yard in the presence of the Freshman and then send him down town to buy some new collars. This plan has proved successful.
Miss N. O Body—No it is not considered good taste to give your lead pencils for hair pins. It looks aggressive and business like to wear a half dozen pencils in your hair, but it is inelegant. You can get an arm load of hair pins for four cents and a nice ornamented box for eleven cents at almost any racket store.
Amy;- It looks bad enough to see a boy picking his teeth in the street. Do not in the name of all the gods and little fishes, use a tooth pick on the way from the club. It shows Missouri or Arkansas breeding,or perhaps better, none at all.
Constant Reader.—If the young man continues to show too much interest in you you might freeze him gently, or plan through some of your friends to let him know that he is too attentive. Or better still, corral your pluck and tell him plainly what you think if you really do care for the young man.

Superstition: To see the moon and 52,-250,146 stars over your right shoulder, in winter, is a sign of ice on the pavement. In summer, it signifies a banana skin. To find a horsehoe in your one'et is a sign that the cook is absent minded. If you wake up in the night and think you hear burglars, and find instead a black cat; it is a sign that the free and unlimited coinage of swear words goes into effect.-Ex.

Washburn celebrated its 34th birthday last Tuesday. It is nearly as old as the state of Kansas.
Many schools over the country are agitating the question of changing the weekly holiday from Saturday to Monday. Baker has tried the change thoroughly and testifies to its advantages. Fort Worth university, after careful observations has found that grades are twenty-five per cent less on Monday than any other day, and has concluded that "Blue Monday" must go.
