WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1913. Wind of the Prairie, blowing free. Wind of the Prairie, blowing free, Wind of the Prairie, blow for me,— With shining feet o'er the golden wheat, Where the green corn blades in the summer heat Whisper and sigh as you rustle by,— Blow with impalpable fragrance The little white cloud from the infinite sky, And my heart all clean and sweet. Wind of the Spirit, blowing free, Wind of the Spirit, blow for me,— On wings afire with subtle desire Lift the lily soul from the crumbling mire, And higher, higher and ever higher than the noisy mart and the slender spire. Blow through unspeakable azure deeps, through the sil- ver lane where the comet leaps. By the molten moon, up the starry steeps, Those white soul blossoms through the night In solemn music out of sight. To The Kansas: I notice in the Kansas of September 25th an editorial suggesting that the Kansas is amused at the action of the Alumni Associations of Missouri and Kansas in making an effort to secure a return of the Missouri-Kansas football game to Kansas City. This editorial contains the statement that the movement originated in Kansas City, and that there has been little concerted demands on the part of students at Kansas for the change. As chairman of the committee from the University alumni, I desire to state that the movement did not originate in Kansas City. It originated first among the alumni of Missouri University, who communicated with me early last spring, and requested me, as President of the Kansas University Alumni Association, to ascertain the wishes of the Kansas alumni. Because so requested, I sent out letters to the alumni requesting an opinion in the matter, and the replies were overwhelmingly in favor of the return of the game to Kansas City. As a result of this investigation a committee of alumni was appointed to take up the matter and work with a similar committee appointed by the Missouri Alumni Association. The members of both委员会 were appointed from the Kansas City Alumni because Kansas City is more centrally located, and because the opportunity for holding meetings is much better here there elsewhere, and the two committees could work more effectively from one central headquarters. That the movement has received very little attention from the Kansas City Alumni Association is evident from the fact that until last Friday the Kansas City Alumni Association had never taken any action 'in the matter at all. Our committee has received over two thousand letters from alumni and people of Kansas with reference to this matter, so that the movement, instead of being mostly at Kansas City is not confined to Kansas City but is one that extends all through the State of Kansas, as well as Missouri. It may be true that our committee has been misinformed, but we have always been under the impression that the great body of students, both at Lawrence and Columbia, was anxious that the game be played at Kansas City. EDWIN C. MESERVEY, EDWIN C. MESERVEY, Chairman of the Alumni Committee. The above communication introduces again that sac and faded frazzle, the movement to take the Missouri-Kansas game back to Kansas City. We are first of all glad to be corrected concerning the origin of the agitation to take the game back—that such started in Columbia and not in Kansas City. We were not so much poking fun at the Kansas City attempts to change the game as at the apparent latitude of students here toward the change. It seemed to us that someone else than those most vitally interested, the students of the two Universities, was doing most of the demanding for the change. Moreover, that Missouri alumni and not students started the proceedings is yet another reason for our amusement. The editor of the Daily Kansan can truthfully repeat that to the best of his knowledge there "has been little concerte demand on the part of students at Kansas for the change," and largely for that reason, besides that of being personally against the change, has not worried about the matter. Last spring a number of petitions to the Regents for the change were circulated among our student body, but nothing has been heard of them since. To all intents and purposes the proposition is a "dead one" here. If the students want the change they have kept it pretty quiet. THE KING OF BOYVILLE. (From the sketch by W. A. White.) So his lonely way was strenued with broken stick-horses, which he took from the little boys, and was marked by trees adorned with the string, which he took from other youngsters, who ran across his pathway playing horse. In his barn he sat listlessly on a nail keg, while Abe and the freckle-faced boy did their deeds of daring on the rings and the trapeze. Only when the new boy came in, did Piggy arouse himself to mount the flying bar, and, swinging in it to the very rafters, drop and hang by his knees, and again drop from his knees, catching his ankle in the angle of the rope where it meets the swinging bar. That was to awe the new boy. After this feat the King was quiet. At dusk, when the evening chores were done, Piggy Pennington walked past the home of his Heart's Desire and howled out a doleful ballad which began: Why he like others am not gay." "You ask what makes this darkey wee-eep. But a man on the sidewalk passing said, "Well on, that's pretty good, but wouldn't you just as lief sing as to make that noise." He took that heart to school with him, the next morning, and dragged it over the school ground, playing crack the whip and "stink-base." But when he saw Heart's Desire wearing in her hair one of the white roses from his mother's garden—the Pennington's had the only white roses in the little town—he knew it was from the wreath which he had given her, and so light was his boyish heart, that it was with an effort that he kept it out of his throat. There were smiles and smiles that day. During the singing they began, and every time he could cry his eyes behind her geography, or her grammar, a flood of gladness swept over his soul. That night Piggy Pennington followed the girls from the schoolhouse to the postoffice, and in a burst of enthusiasm, he walked on his hands in front of the crowd, for nearly half a bock. When his Heart's Desire said: "Oaint you afraid you'll hurt yourself, doing that?" Pivert pretended not to hear her, and said to the boys: "Aw, that ain't nothin'; come down to my barn, an' "I'll do somepin that'll make you head swim." He was too exuberant to contain himself, and when he left the girls he started to run after a stray chicken, that happened along, and ran till he was out of breath. He did not mean to run in the direction his Heart's Desire had taken, but he turned a corner, and came up with her suddenly. Her eyes beamed upon him, and he could not run away, as he wished. She made room for him on the sidewalk, and he could do nothing but walk beside her. For a block they were so embarrassed that neither spoke. It was Piggy who broke the silence. His words came from his heart. He had not yet learned to speak otherwise. "Where's your rose?" he asked, not seeing it "What rose?" said the girl, as though she had never in her short life heard of such an absurd thing as a rose. "Oh, you know," returned the boy, stepping irregularly, to make the tips of his toes come on the cracks in the sidewalk. There was another pause, during which Piggy picked up a pebble, and threw it at a bird in a tree. His heart was sinking rapidly. "O, nuthin' much," replied the boy. "I bet you can't do this." he added, as he glowed up into her eyes from an impulsive handspring. "O, that rose?" said his Heart's Desire, turning full upon him with the enchantment of her childish eyes. "Why, here it is in my grammar. I'm taking it to keep with the others. Why?" And thus the King of Boyleville first set his light, little foot upon the soil of an unknown country. To feel the thrill of divinity radiant therefrom; and thus to be with God. To romp and play with the babies. To list to their cooling and crying. Oh, to be with the children! THE RICHES OF CHILDHOOD 15 meet ch 20 meet th Oh, the hidden wealth in the children! To join in their practice and laughter. To meet their expressive eyes with mine, 15 to oben then sure store and reload. Then give my hand upon the head of a child. To join in their prattle and laughter, To hold it there and wait, saying not a word. The animal cravings to be slowly refined, The crudeness to be wrought into goodness; The essence of menhood to be yet revealed, The sweetness of womanhood still unawakened, The secret yearnings for place and performent, The blundering, falling, and rising triumphant, The future attainment to fatherhood, motherhood, The possible honor of winning, the glory of service Oh, the riches of childhood!
