Have Patience When You Read Shelley—He Read Job First. Says English Head.
*STUDUE OF LIT, READ THE
BIBLE*, ADVISES DUNLAP
"Of all English classics the Bible is the most neglected by people who really care about literature," declared Prof. C. G. Dunlap of the English department in chapel this morning.
"From a purely literary standpoint the Bible is well worth the consideration of the love of literary art. It's simplicity is marvelous; it's tone of dutiny is unequaled; and the air of naturalness and beautiful restraint which pervade it make it an unparalleled book from the standpoint of art
"Shelley read the book of Job for inspiration for his poems, and Colebridge declared that 'One who wishes to cultivate a sound English style will do well to study the Bible.'"
Mrs. Payne to Talk

"ISHWRY?"—SURE.
YOU SHOULD DO SO
And If You Become Ashamed of Overworking the English Words Try Another Language.
What if the Chancellor should announce in chapel that the University will give a major "K" for the best chess player in the University, or to those that make the chess team?
Nearly 99 and forty-four one-hundredths of the students would unconcernedly remark, "I should worry."
This time honored phrase is nearly worn out but it is still serving the purpose of expressing the thoughts of most the people on the globe. It has been translated into every language which is yet imbued with a spirit of conservation. Not only in America, but in Germany, in Greece, in Asia, even in the wilds of Australia, the use of this phrase, or conglomeration of words, more aptly called, is used.
The German says, "ihle solte sorgen," the Frenchman differs and says, "je sera malheureux." Other nations follow in the same footsteps, and use expressions like these, "Giati anibomono," and "Sarei incensiero."
The easiest way to express this pet phrase is in shorthand and if this could be expressed in print, it might read like this, "ishwry."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 21, 1913.
HUSH! DO NOT TELL THEM
One Kansas University sorority thought that it was entertaining the son of the Governor of the State last Sunday. It does not know yet that the "distinguished" guest was a mere student.
Their Guest, a Mere Student, Not the Governor's Son.
Five students followers of Edward Payson Weston were passing the chapter house in the afternoon when it was suggested that they introduce one of their number to the girls as "Governor Hodge's son from Toneka." All four agreed.
"We're delighted to meet you, Mr. Hodges," they said. "It flatters us to have you visit our new home—Yes, we are." They shouted to the old one. "Just come this way."
And they led "Mr. Hodges" through kitchen, pantry, dining-room, and chapter-hall.

Thoughts Beautiful on Verna Season Gush Into Daily Kansan Office
SPRING, SWEET SPRING HAS CAME IN CARLOADS
Extra carrier service had to be installed to the Kansan office this morning to take care of the mail of the Spring Poem Editor. Hardly had the announcement been published that such a contest had been inaugurated before contributions began pouring in.
When the Spring Poem Editor finally fought his way from beneath the flood of poems that submerged him he gazed at the thousands of sonnets, odes, triolets, villanelles, epics, rondeaus and what nots in constation. The task of selecting a representative effort was a tremendous one.
The Sping Poem Editor's desk was soon heaped high with envelopes of every conceivable shape and hue and by noon today the poems were knee deep on the floor. All sorts of poems were there. Some entirely disgrateful the limit of 16 lines and wooded the muse through several chapters. It seemed to make no difference that the weather without was cold and dreary. The flowerlets twittered and the birds blossomed with as much nonchalance as if they were in a hot-house. Oh yes, and the green grass grow all around.
SOME STUDENT HAS A BRIDAL TROUSSEAU
After much labor, however, he found one that breathed the spirit of the theme and contained many touches worthy of Byron, Keats, or Milton. The atmosphere in the poem is especially good. It is entitled "The Breath of Spring." As we stood upon the gym, steps
(Gee, how that Chem. building stinks).
Gazing northward n^2 the links,
Naught but gopher holes we saw
Going back unto our subject,
Naught but gopher mounds could
see upon that rolling meadow, And three Golfers—only three.
One was Rogers, one was Boynton
One was Davis (Histry gink)
(As we said a few lines previous
How that Chem. building does
stink.)
Ah! Thee down between the stubble Bursts a single flowerlet gay. And the whole wild world rejoices Spring has come at last to stay.
But in springtime or in winter That old stink remains the same, Pouring from the doors and windows Of the Chemistry domain.
Grad Girls Want in W. S. G. A.

Maybe He Dosen't Know It,

Somewhere in the student section of town, potobally relegated to the garret along with other mysteries, antiques and discards that naturally accumulate in a student rooming house with the passing of each generation. The students poses a "large red tin-bound trunk with three straps around it."
And within the sail l. r. t. b. t. there lie all the mysterious articles that go to form a wedding trousseau, form the makeup essential to the blushing bride to the wardrobe of—but perhaps we had best not display our ignorance on the subject of what goes to make up a wedding trousseau.
And over at the Union Pacific dep

they said.
"The trunk mysteriously disappeared from the station platform several days ago," says Robinson, "and has probably been left at some student rooming house by a misguided hackman.
"In the trunk is the wedding trousseau of a young lady from Ottawa who is to be married next week and she threatens to sue the company for alienated affection liable to result from an enforced postponement of the nuptials."

RAG MYSTERY IS NOW UNRAVELED
This dinner was given last night by two girls in the domestic science class, the second in a series being given by different members of the class. The cost of these dinners must be limited to two dimes, and four faculty members must be invited. Those who, figuratively speaking, drew the lucky numbers last night, were Professors Wm. S. Johnston, D.
L. Patterson, G. A. Gesellschaft, and Arthur Jerome Boyton.
The fact that all these gentlemen are bachelors perhaps accounts for the small percentage of dinner being left over. The Cabaret stunts were put on by the guests themselves. The star act was an imitation of prominent professors, given by Mr. Boynton.
"There is nothing in the high cost of living cry," said Professor Boynton this morning. "I never sat down to a twenty-five cent dinner that could surpass that given last night."
Watson is Regaled by Sherlock's Deductions About the User of the Violet Face Powder.
The law student who yesterday dropped his chamois powder applyer may have the same by calling at the Kansan office and paying two-bits for rthis advertisement.
The powder rag . was brought to this office to be advertised by a Y. M. C. A. man of unquestioned probity, and he says he found the same in front of the law building.
The case was turned over to the special Herlock Sholmes employed by the Kansan to help patrons in such circumstances, and his conclusions are as follows:
"The facts, Watson, are these. The powder rag was found in front of the law building. Now the University girls use puffs—soft, ticky affairs somewhat resembling a bunch of whiskers. Therefore this belongs to no girl. The College boys have not yet attained that point of refinement where they would feel impelled to use a six inch square of chamois, decorated with a ruffle of lace like a—well, I don't know what to compare it to."
Herlock smoked three cigarettes, took two drinks of absinthe and an injection of cocaine before continuing.
"As for the engineers, they are out of the question. Why, they are absolutely so barbarous that quite often they have been discovered in public without having used any powder at all.
"None but a law would have sufficiently refined and cultured tastes to feel the need of a chamois powder rag, trimmed with lace. Thus we have demonstrated by the process of elimination, as well as by the locality where the rag was found that the owner is a law.
"Aha! This chamois has been used for violet powder. In the morning we will stroll over to the law building, find a user of violet face powder absent from classes because he dare not appear without his usual make-up, collect the sum of twenty-five cents due for this ad, and bring to a happy solution the 'Adventure of the Chamois Powde Garg.'"
