That Buffalo Party.
Just about noon on Tuesday, the 4th of June, a party of twelve dusty and tired men got off the Sanra Fe train in Chicago. This was the party which was mentioned in the Kansas University WEEKLY of that week as intending to canvass for Jas.M. Davis in Buffalo,N.Y., during the summer.
The members of the party however were not the same as were reported in the papers at that time. They were: O. T. Hester, Jno. B. Thierstein, J. W. Lanning, C. R. Troxel, J. M. Drysdale, S. C. Sweezy, Leroy Beebe, C. Faulkener, W. W. Haworth, V. L. Leighton, C. J. Moore and W. T. Walker.
V. L. Leighton was on his way to Tufts college and the rest of us were going to engage in the stereoscopic business.
We had left Lawrence at 2:55 Monday afternoon via the Santa Fe and had a few hours stopover in Kansas City. After a few hours in Chicago we again took the train and reached Buffalo at about 10 a.m., on Wednesday.
We found in Buffalo M. I. Payne, the general agent of the company, and three other agents. We were later joined there by L. A. Simons, of Lawrence, and five boys from Drake University, Des Moins, Iowa, and still later by three or four from Meadville, Pennsylvania.
We worked in Buffalo with varying success until about the last of July when the greater part of our party went on to Rochester where we remained at work until almost time for school when we came home singly and in squads.
While at Buffalo we enjoyed many a fine sail on Lake Erie and also the pleasure of a trip to that grandest of all sights Niagara. At Rochester, too, there were many fine sights and enjoyments. The Genesee Falls and river, Ontario Beach, and Power's Art Gallery were each one a treat. Indeed during the entire summer we had an enjoyable time such as there is not space here to describe at length.

Gladys Wallis Coming!
Miss Gladys Wallis, who appears here in "Fanchon, the Cricket," is one of those delightful little ladies who possess the rare gift of personal charm. There have not been many ladies upon the English stage who have been thus gifted. Long ago there was Nell Gwyn, and then Peg Woffington, and Kittie Cleve, all different, but alike in this one particular that each possessed the good sense to be simply natural, and being natural, it was in them to be the idols of all who ever saw them. Miss Wallis, it is true, has not as yet attained to the greatness of any of those ladies, who in their time had all London at their feet; she is as yet very young, having only just risen as a star. But she has won such unequivocal success in Chicago and elsewhere since the opening of the present season, that there is no longer any question of her future as an actress in high comedy. In depicting the lighter emotions in all the phases of bright merriment, childish petulance and womanly devotion she is said to show rare ability and power. At the same time she possesses a fund of good, healthful spirit, sometimes restrained, but ever ready to bubble over in the happiest display of rollicking fun.
The play, "Fanchon, the Cricket," tells a pleasing story, as everybody knows who has been familiar with the stage during the past two
