Prof. Dyche's lectures throughout the state have been uniformly well attended. People like the recital of adventures, particularly when rendered in the Professor's inimitable style.
A Prompt Response.
The following is a specimen letter taken from Frank R. Stockton's Ready Letter Writer:
"From a father to his son at school, in answer to a letter asking for an increase of pocket money.
My dear Joseph: Your letter asking for an augmentation of your pecuniary stipend has been received, together with a communication from your preceptor, relative to your demeanor at the seminary. Permit me to say, that should I ever again peruse an epistle similar to either of these, you may confidently anticipate, on your return to my domicile, an excoriation of the cuticle which will adhere to your memory for a term of years.
Your affectionate father.'"

Dear Sir:
With the progress that is being made in Fine Tailoring, as well as in other branches of art, it is found necessary in order to get Individuality into clothing to make them, as it were, on the man who is to wear them. As it is not convenient for students to come to Kansas City to try on their clothes before completion; in order to give them the benefit of a "try on," I have arranged to come to Lawrence every week for that purpose and may be found in the Gymnasium every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3p. m.
I shall make it a practice to press and keep in repair clothes of our own make which will be brought to Kansas City and returned the next week, free of charge.

Have you seen the Leggin-hose? They are stockings that look like hose. They are so dressy that they are simply irresistable. New York, Boston and Washington pronounce them a grand success. Just what you want for rainy day or bicycle suit. Nothing cumbersome about them. See them in Weaver's hosiery department.
