WILLIAM APPLETON SNOW
General Frederick Funston slowly rode the length of the principal street of San Francisco this afternoon, receiving the applause of the crowded thousands for having heroically done his duty in the face of danger. But he never smiled as he rode. He was thinking of another young Kansan who had met death only the night before while heroically trying to do his duty in the face of danger. And that duty was to catch the first words of General Funston, returning hero, and to make them known to whomever would know them. The one Kansas heron on a great sea-going transport ship; the other Kansas heron, clinging to the wave-swept rail of a tiny newspaper launch that tossed and dipped in a fearful smother of wave and spray in the Golden Gate, catching amid the roar of wind and water the welcome greetings of his college mate and friend, the home-coming hero of war.
It was only a few weeks ago that Will Snow saved the life of a brother reporter who was washed overboard from a newspaper launch exactly as he himself was hurled to his death last night. Only a week or two has passed since the newspaper offices buzzed with the telling of another thrilling episode of which Snow was the hero. And the talkers didn't know it all. They knew the danger of it and the daring of it. But they didn't know what really made the heroes of it. A transport bearing the California troops returning from Manila was at anchor in the night far out in the Gate. A newspaper launch crowded with reporters and artists was tossing near in an ugly sea vainly endeavoring to get the news of the sons of California? Who had died on the way, who were ill and needing help? A whole state demanded to know and to know at once. The newspaper men to be forbidden to board the transport. But the one in charge ordered a young reporter, a mere lad, to attempt to catch the anchor chain of the transport as the launch tossed by and to climb upon the transport. The young reporter is a Kansas university boy who was engaged by the Chronicle only recently through Will Snow's efforts on his behalf. He told Snow that he couldn't swim, that he was not strong, that a slip meant death for him. Will Snow quietly took his place; when the launch came near he leaped in the darkness from its unsteady deck, and managed to catch the lowest round of a side ladder on the transport. He hung a moment over the black waters, and then struggled partly up the ladder. A quartermaster, not a man but a brute, climbed down to meet him and deliberately crushed under his heels the fingers clinging to the iron ladder. Snow hung on with the bones and flesh of one finger crushed away. He called to the captain of the launch to steam away, so that the transport's officers would either have to take him aboard or throw him into the sea. But the launch stood by, and his chief begged him to give up the hazardous attempt. He dropped back, with his bleeding hands, upon the deck of the launch. Today the young reporter whose place Snow took that night tried to tal- about him. He could not.
A newspaper reporter said to me today: "We called him the Prince; Snow was the best-liked newspaper man in San Francisco." And I believe it. The editors of the Chroichle, the reporters of the Chronicle and of the other papers—all those who knew him—cared very much for him. In the whir and the grind of one of those great machines, a metropolitan newspaper, the other parts came to love the true and brave and sympathetic voice of a part, called the "marine reporter." This part was Will Snow.
Will Snow's duty and Fred Funston's duty were widely different in kind. But there is no difference in degree of duty. Duty is a word without comparatives. Will Snow's duty did not lead him before the public eye. But it led him into danger: av, into one danger too many. It is characteristic of the "will Snow that was that he volunteered to take this last assignment, in the attempt of whose performance he died.
for fifteen years I have known him.
This day I have spent among his newspaper comrades, and they, who have known him for a few months only, choke as they try to tell their affection for him.
And I can write no more this night.
This is only to tell his Kansas friends that

Pharmics Organize;
The Junior class of Pharmacy are getting up a lot of class spirit, and organized Monday with:
J. W. Marshall, vice president.
L. F. Keyser, treasurer.
They also organized a football team with Vincent for captain and M. J. Cloys for manager. The team is a good one, and will play the Medics the 28th of October, and probably will play other teams. Baseball will be brought up in the next meeting, besides basket ball, tennis, etc. The pharmics are a class of good fellows, and we wish them success in all of their undertakings.

GOD
REFLECTIONS FROM A GALLERY BOD
The theatre has a fascination for some people and I must confess that I am one of those mortals. To such longing is joined the fact that the chronic condition of my pocket book is not one of plethora; nay, the reverse. The only solution of the problem, then, is to go up.
Thus I joined the company of "gallery gods." Now I am one of the regular patrons whose countenance may always be seen on the front row long before the more aristocratic crowd in the parquet below begins to assemble.
From this point of vantage I have seen all the varied forms of dramatic art. The popular price company with its week's stand, James, Morrison and Keene in classic roles, the roaring farce comedy and the attractions of "1402" and "The Devil's Auction."
The crowds I have seen there have been as varied as the performance on the stage below. There you will always see the old habitue like myself and the omnipresent "coon" who would willingly give his last quarter to see a show. Then when times are hard I see beside me the sport too. In former days, when I have looked over the rails I have seen him in the parquet with a lady by his side. Then he had made a raise. But now he is compelled to find a place on the "first floor."
Still, whenever there is a rise in prices there is a migration upward. As the prices go up so do the students When an especially high priced show comes to town even the frat men come up and mingle with us poor devils who belong to a lower or rather a higher stratum.
The gallery is a great leveler of social rank. Here is your true democracy. When the frat man comes up here and eats peanuts and reads the funny p*perg while he waits for the curtain to rise, he will talk agreeably enough even if he does cut you on the street the next day.
As they come one can easily tell whether this is their regular place or whether it is a case of necessity. The latter class usually avoid me the front row and dislike to have their names spoken too loudly for fear someone below might hear.
I usually see lots of my friends up there. Of course this isn't the case with the popular price shows, but when the standard companies come along, it seems as though lots of the boys have a 25c limit, and when Sousa comes — O my.
That is the only place for a philosopher, anyway, and I don't know but is my constant attendance there that has brought this philosophical strain upon me. There are lots of advantages of such a situation over the seats which are usually considered to be the best. For instance, there is no danger of having a big hat in front of you. But yet I have noticed from what I can see of the lower floor that the ladies are more accommodating now than when I used to go down there.
But I am wandering a little. Well, one will do that when he's in such a mood as this. I know this philosophizing isn't exactly profitable, but it is rather a relief after all. "Nunc vlno, (or something else) pellite curas; cras ingens iterabimus aequor"

Mr. Perry O. Hanson started on a week's trip last week, to visit the Associations in the eastern part of the state. During the next few weeks Mr. Hanson will visit all the College Associates in the state.
From twenty-five to fifty men are expected to attend the state convention at Ottawa Nov. 16-19. Five members of the International Committee will be on the program, besides many local members. The State Committee promises the best convention in its history.
The Junior Law Class was entertained at the Y. M. C. A. home Friday night. A very enjoyable time is reported. Light refreshments were served.
Y. M. C.A. NOTES
The Y. M. C. A. gave a reception to the Y. M. C. A. cabinet and members of the advisory board Saturday evening in honor of Rev. Mr. Fisk and Miss Conde.
The membership in the association has passed the two hundred and twenty five mark and the membership committee is still pushing its canvass vigorously. The membership committee is the largest of the association, having over forty members.
Andrew Baird, state secretary, spent a few house Monday with the local Association.
The weekly prayer meeting was held in Mr. Baumgartner's room Wednesday evening. A large number of christian men were present and a good meeting is reported.
A glee club of fifteen members has been organized and practice on college songs commenced. The club meets Monday nights for rehearsal.
The first initiation service of the association so long looked forward to, was held at North College last Sunday afternoon at 8:30. Rev D. M. Fiske of Topeka, was secured to deliver the initiation address. Mr. Fiske is a new man in Kansas, but is generally regarded as one of the strongest and most brilliant preachers in Kansas. The usual impressive initiation service was used and especial music has been prepared for the day. In all respects this was one of the most interesting meetings of the year.
Captain John Haskell is teaching the normal class of the Bible study department. The department is certainly very fortunate in procuring such an able man for this position.
The department for the study of missions started on their year's work very auspiciously with a large missionary meeting at North College. Papers were presented by Rev. Metcalf, H. J. Whittington and Perry O. H. Hanson and others. The first regular meeting for study was held at the Y. M. C. A. house last Friday evening from 6:45 to 7:15. The class will study Japan this year, using Olis Carey's "Regeneration of Japan" as a text. Mr. Kamra of Japan has joined the class and will doubtless add much to its interest.
Friday at 11:45 the students of all the schools in the University met in the chapel to talk over old times, and arose enthusiasm for the football game. The band played, the boys yelled and everybody had a pleasant half hour's visit.
MASS MEETING.
Everybody Attended and It Was a Good Meeting.
Prof. Higgins of the Law school, was introduced as the leading speaker. Prof. Higgins was warmly cheered by the students as he spoke on "College Patriotism."
The yelling was spirited all during the meeting. The Laws were drowned time and again by the house as they piped their "L. L. B." The Engineers were present in a body and their "Hyperbolic paraboloid," was plainly heard above the scattered yelling of the schools.
He is a good speaker and has the right spirit. After Prof. Higgins, Coach Yost was called for but did not respond. Elliott made a foot ball speech which was enjoyed by everybody. 'Cap' Avery was called upon but did not show up, 'Lord' Buttomer was called out and was made chief rooter, with P. P. Bliss and Theodore Leonard as assistants.
At the meeting of the Inter State Football League last spring Nebraska agreed not to play Iowa, and ever since they have been talking about what a great sacrifice they made. In that connection the following from the S. U. I. Vidette-Reporter might be of interest:
The Way Nebraska Does.
As we go to press it is announced that negotiations have been brought to a successful termination whereby Iowa will meet Nebraska on the gridiron at Council Bluffs, November 4. This game will replace the South Dakota game which will not be played on account of the inconvenience of the trip and inability to arrive at any agreement as to terms.
