Kansas University Weekly.
mer law school man two years in attendance at Kansas University, for porter on the sleeper "Athena,"—so I started in good company. I found New York in the throes of a snow storm which made me long for sunny Kansas; secured a fine state room on the St. Paul for a flying trip direct to Paris where I take the express for Brindisi, thence to Athens where I shall hope to arrive in 14 days, just at the close of the games. Mrs. Penny will remain in Zurich for a time.
With kindest regards,
Sincerely yours,
GEO. B. PENNY.
