A PROMINENT candidate for clerk of the District Court in Douglass county is G. W. Ellis. Mr. Ellis has been a student in the University for five years, is capable, energetic and well qualified to fill the position which he seeks to hold. He has obtained his education entirely through his own efforts and merits the consideration and attention of the voters of Douglas county.
It is very difficult to give the exact meaning of the term pleasure. It has a different signification in the mind of every person. Pleasure to a society girl means a dance, crowds of admirers, entrancing music and a spring floor. Pleasure to a school-boy means tying a tin can to a dog's tail and in exultant glee watching the dog as he dashes yelping down the street. Pleasure to an astronomer means the discovery of a new comet in far off telescopic space; by a man of an enquiring mind it may be found in a curiously formed rock, a foot-print upon a rock buried for ages beneath the surface of the earth. Pleasure to a philosoper, a modern philosopher, a young philosopher, means "liking nothing, dispersing everything and proving everyone a simpleton except himself." Pleasure to a beggar means a half eagle in his hand by mistake for a nickle.
WHETHER IT is the commanding situation of our University buildings or the beautiful scenery embracing valley and hill, wood, brook, river, meadow and town, the visitor to Mount Oread does not leave it without an ardent desire to visit again the leading educational institution in Kansas. There are other Universities in the world and even in the United States which have reached a higher plane of development than our own, which have attractions peculiar to their location and management, yet none of them are more attractive upon a first visit than the University of Kansas.
THE JOCKEY club organized by students of the University the other day is arousing great enthusiasm in Lawrence as well as in the University. It promises to give interesting races in the near future.
