PAUL GILMORE THE MUMMY AND THE HUMMING BIRD.
The purpose of existence, or, as the French say it, "the reason for being," is the most important quality in any work of fiction. Drama cannot succeed without it. That "The Mummy and the Humming Bird" is one of the wonderful successes of the present age—and it is, for it has succeeded in all parts of the civilized world—is equivalent to stating that it must contain a wonderful and powerful reason for being. And it does. What is that reason? Humanity, Truth, Courage, Love. Lord Lumley, the dear "Mummy," does not cast the first stone. Oh, no! He is too much of a man to wrong his wife with suspicion. He loves her and he believes her. Neither does he storm nor rave, nor bluster, nor threaten. He boldly but quietly goes to her rescue, and he saves her, and knowing there is nothing to forgive, he magnanimously forgives her. How many divorces could be averted if men followed the dear "Mummy's" example? Nor is it all one-sided. So powerful is the object lesson of "The Mummy and the Humming Bird," in which Paul Gilmore will again appear here at the Bowersock opera house on Friday, April 14, for the last time, that it is not going beyond actual fact to say, no growing miss, no mother, no matron, not even the grandmother can afford to miss seeing this play.

The society voted to have a "go" on the twenty-second, and a committee was appointed to make the necassary arrangements.
In years past difficulty has arisen when the club has had no court of its own,but this season it is expected this trouble will be eliminated.
TENNIS MEETING.
Manager Plank has received offers for tennis tournaments with Missouri and Washington Universities. The meet with Missouri will be held on McCook field. The prospect of a trip to St Louis should be a great inducement to tennis players to try to make the team.
The Mandolin Club met Monday evening to practice some new music for the Haskell concert. The boys have a new University piece, "The K. U. Jollification," which is sure to make a hit with the students. A fine mandola has been added to the instrumentation of the club and will be played by Fred Cambern.
The outlook is better than ever before. About fifteen men were present at the meeting and as many more are expected at the next meeting. The same qualifications will be required of the tennis men as in other athleties, for the club will be organized under the auspices of the athletic board.

After the lecture proper, Prof. Crane showed those present a few interesting optical illusions.

It is amusing to know that our eminent ex-Chancellor Snow has a namesake in the shape of a small parasite. Dr. Snow and his assistant, Mr. E. S. Tucker, in the past year, have sent many unnamed specimens of bees and wasps to a specialist in Philadelphia. He found a great number of species among them and has named them in honor of Dr. Snow and Mr. Tucker. Dr. Snow's winged namesake is called a Snowi, and Mr. Tucker's is dubbed a Tuckeri.
