OUR FOOTBALL 'LEVEN.
We've got a football 'leven,
An' I guess its here to stay,
Though it sometimes goes to other towns
Just to show 'em how to play.
But when them boys come home again,
We greet 'em with a shout.
Fer they always beat their opponents,
'Cause they wasn't watchin' out.
Then sometimes we have visitors Who are anxious fir to try
To win at football nonders
'Gainst our boys so big an' spry.
But somehow they can't beat us.
They don't jesk know what they're about.
An' our boys—they larn it 'em
'Cause they re never watch' out.
Now Nebraska has a 'leven
An' they claim we're very slow
That we're nothing but some babies
An' we need some fir to grow.
Well—sick talk, it sounds quite funny
An' will feel inclined to shout
When I see old "Shorty" Hamill n' Cap tain Mosse again'slow Levin'tow for them fellers
If they're smashed clean to a grease spot.
When they ain't watchin' out.
Layin low fer them fellers Then I'll yell—"Ob, I don't
Then I'll yell— "Oh, I don't know."
Babies air a sort nu avi nuscurrence
If they're right well grown and stout
An' Nebraska—these air Tartars—
Hadn't ye better be watching out?
I seen Saturday's game clean through,
An' we whipped them fellows truly
As of course, we ort to dew-
An' my vision was a true one
If this I've not a doubt—
Fer, ye know them northern fellers I'll never think iv watch out.
So our boys'll win the contest,
They'll be the heroes uv the day
An Nebrasky's football players
Won't be havin' much to say—
'Bout our "babies" and their slowness,
Wen they've put 'em to the rout;
But they'll say each to the other,
"Wish't we'd been a watchin' out."
Good Words for the University.
In a recent number of the Kent, Ohio, Courier, the editor, J G. Faxton, who visited Lawrence not long since has the following to say of the University:
following to say of the University.
The State university has 1,000 students. The buildings stand on a high elevation in the southwest part of the city. The museum attached is one of the most complete museums in the country and the exhibit therefrom won a gold medal at the world's fair.
In a large case in this museum stands "Comanche," the renowned horse that survived the Custer massacre. Comanche was owned andriden by Captain Keog, of the Ninth cavalry. He was wounded seven times and had been ordered killed The man to whom the work was assigned refused to kill the animal and went to work to save its life. He did so and Comanche, the only survivor of the massacre, was sent to Fort Riley, 100 miles from Lawrence. He died there November 7, 1891, aged 39. For several years before his death Comanche had the exclusive attention of one man who saw that the animal had every care and attention possible shown him.
From the top of the main building of the university we could see a distance of about 40 miles in every direction. The view is a magnificent one and takes in the most desirable part of Kansas.
Y. M.C.A.Convention.
The seventeenth annual state convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of Kansas to be held at Emporia November 10 to 13, promises to be a most interesting and helpful one. No pains have been spared by the state committee in securing sneakers of ability and influence.

Mr. Fred B. Stipp, Mr. C. C. Michener and Mr. James Naismith are speakers who will present subjects along their special lines of work.
MISS GANT, DRESSMAKING

Coat suits; reception gowns, corded belts and collars, and evening dresses a specialty. Ladies of Lawrence and vicinity are invited to call and give Miss Gant a trial. First class work done.

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

Something About the School at Manhat
The State Agricultural College at Manhattan has, besides its industrial departments several features of especial interest.
At the beginning of the present school year a college bookstore was started in the main college building, which turns to the students all text books at cost. This saves each student a considerable sum during the whole college course.
There is also a college dinnah hall, where meals are served at actual cost. Dinners may be obtained for 10 cents and breakfast and supper at $7 per cent. The food served is plain but wholesome and well cooked, the bills of fare of Chicago University and other schools where attention has been given to the study of hygienic foods being used. The work is done for the most part by students in the domestic economy department and the meals are served in the new domestic economy building, Miss Minnie A. Stone, the successor of Mrs. Cambell, is a graduate of the South Dakota Agricultural College and has taken courses in the Boston normal school of Household Arts. Since 1866 she has been connected with the University of Tennessee as professor of the department of domestic arts and is well fitted for her work in Manhattan.
The Agricultural college has no frater-nities but social interests center about the tour literary societies of the college. These societies have always been fostered by faculty and regents and nearly every student belongs to one or another of them. Once echevach each society gives what is called their annual, an open meeting held in the chapel to which the public is invited. These are affairs of great interest to the whole college and each society puts forth its best efforts, so it is considered high honor to be placed on the program. The value of work in a good literary society can hardly be estimated in the education of a student.
The attendance at the Agricultural College is greater than ever before this year and though there were many unfortunate features in the recent change in the faculty, the college is not injured as much as many may have been led to believe from partisan papers. Several of the new teachers are men of unusual ability.
Devere Rafter, whose home is at Holton, has been appointed private secretary to his uncle, John A. Rafter, who is surgeon of the Twenteth regiment. Mr. Rafter received his appointment so late that he only had time to reach San Francisco before the battalion sailed for the Philippines. He graduated from the Law department of the State University last spring.—Topeka Capital.

A great deal of interest and enthusiasm is being shown this year by the girls in the gymnasium work and in spite of the extremely narrow and inconvenient quarters and lack of proper ventilation, good work is being done. A piano has been rented and placed in the office and hereafter the various exercises will be done to music.
In the Gymnasium.
The Freshmen girls are doing work in the Emerson and Swedish systems while the sophomores are devoting themselves at present to the swinging of the Indian clubs. A good many junior and senior girls are doing optional work in the gymnasium, recognizing the value of systematic physical training. Mrs. Smith's splendid figure and bearing are a constant example of what development may be gained through scientific and regular training.
Girls should wake up everywhere to the fact that the age where the slender, delicate and lily type of womanhood is no longer admired or believed in and that only the woman of fine physique and graceful carriage is fitted to occupy the high position of perfect womanhood and to do well her work in the world.
That the average University girl stands much in need of systematic physical training can be readily seen at a glance down to halls between classes. There is hardly a girl out of ten that carries herself well. Some are pitched forward, some backward. Many shoulders are bent and heads thrust out. It is an exception to see a girl that really walks easily and gracefully.
To attain physical perfection there is no royal road, but as in any other line of education, it means earnest and systematic training, not for hours and days only, but for months and years.
The time is not far off when girls in all classes will be required to give an hour, at least, each day toward the development of perfect bodies.
HUMOROUS.
"The codfish," said the professor, "lays considerably more than a million eggs." "It is mighty lucky for the codfish that she doesn't have to cackle over every egg
Pat O Flannigan had raised a row at the exorbitant tax laid on his goat; $8 for one goat was preposterous, but the tax collector showed him the clause in the law which authorized the tax and Pat could only grumblingly concur. The clause ran thus: "For all property abounding and abutting on the street $4 a front foot."
A city teacher related recently the following amusing anecdote of one of her second reader class. The little fellow had come to this sentence in the reader, "This is a worm, do not step on it," and not being conversant with punctuation marks or spelling the small chap read in loud clear tones, "This is a warm dough-nut, step on it."
The Physics department has recently ordered a number of standard works on Physics and Spectroscopy. They will soon place an order for the Journal de Physique, extending from 1870 to the present time.
