Hill, of Harvard, appears in a new edition In binding and print, the new book is excellent, but more than this, it is a revised and enlarged edition of the work already so well known under the same title. The former edition was one of the very few really standard works on rhetoric; the present edition is in many respects better One of the main beauties in a book like this is, that it is usable as a guide regardless of class work. It would perhaps be difficult to name a discussion of rhetorical principles which would be more helpful and inspiring to the person th a wants to acquire the ability to put what he has to say into good language and pleasing form.

M. Gibb, Prop. feared that the team would be weak in that position, but to the gratification of all Owen came to the front and has been playing a very creditable game. He is small in stature and very active and very strong. His work at tackling was very good, and for recovering a fumbled ball he was always at the right place. His fifty yard run at Kansas City on Thanksgiving day was a fitting close to his brilliant career. Owen has played football before, two years ago he was the star half back on the Arkansas City team. He was in the University last year, but did not go upon the football field. Owen is 22 years of age, measures five feet seven inches in height and weighs 145 pounds. Continued from First Page. 20 per cent discount on all copyright books at University Book Store, L. M. Gibb. Prop. CHAPEL. Continued from First Page. The subject of chapel talks during the present week, conducted by Prof. Sayre, has been practically of religion. The Christian work of a practical character it was stated, was well represented in the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. These organizations were an outgrowth of the modern idea of practical Christianity and they well represented the later expression of religion. A review of the work of the Y. W. C. A. in the army and navy in the late war was commented upon. It was at the Y. M. C. A. tents where indoor recreation, reading, etc., could be obtained. To these tents the soldiers resorted when they wrote their letters home. Classes in the Spanish language were conducted in the tents by the college members of the Y. M. C. A. The social work of these organizations at the University was alluded to, and the speaker appealed to all of the faculty and to the students for their generous support of these worthy organizations. Professor Sayre also showed wherein it was possible for the Y. M. C. A. to lose its influence by indulging in narrow, possibly selfish schemes, by excluding those who were not "truly pious" etc. He pleaded for greater breadth and liberality. Unless this could be injected into each modern organization, they failed to bring touch with the modern ideas of practical Christian work. The University Book Store is again well stocked with special K. S. U. stationery. Try some. THE MARIA TERESA'S CAT. It Is Now Owned by Gerald Holsinger a Former Kansas University Student. The ship's cat of the Maria Teresa, the Spanish cruiser, is now in possession of Ensign Gerald Holsinger of the United States repair ship Vulcan, a former student of Kansas university who is well known in Lawrence, and his relatives in Kansas City, Kan., have written him asking him to give it to the convention hall prize list of Kansas City, Mo. Ensign Holsinger purchased the cat from a native on Cat island, in the Bahama group, where the ill-fated Spanish cruiser found its last resisting place, and brought it back with him to Norfolk, Va. He told of his relic in a letter to his sister, Mrs, George E. Rose, principal of the Kansas, City, Kan., high school and gave the cat's history. It was the first ship's cat of the Christobal Colon, also of Admiral Cervera's squadron. It remained on the wrecked war ship twenty-nine days after the battle before it was rescued by American sailors. It was in a sorry condition then being almost starved to death. The sailors thought that, as it was a Spanish cat, its pride should be respected, so when the Teresa was floated the cat was installed on board. When the heavy seas opened the plates of the war ship and made it necessary to abandon it off Cat island the cat was forgotten. Its fate was not that it should die then, and it was rescued by a wrecker when the Teresa struck on the coral reef of the island. Souvenir China with picture of K. S.
