THE TWENTIETH KANSAS
When the twenty-five veterans of the Twentieth Kansas stood is the assembly room of Fraser hall and looked at the tablet erected in memory of him who had been their comrade in times of hardships and fighting, what were their thoughts?
Did they recall him as a soldier in a tropical country, burned by the sun and clad in the uniform of a soldier? Or did their imagination carry them back to the days when Lieutenant Alford's footsteps echoed through the corridors of Fraser hall?
Probably both. The tablet in Fraser is a memorial which shall last last until the University of Kansas is no more. It is a mark of the undying love the University has for her foster son. It is more. It is a monument to every soldier-hero in the state. As to the memory of the man on the field of battle, there can be no better memorial than the record of all the sons of Kansas who were engaged in that war.
Have you noticed that so far we have refrained from mentioning the freshman who had his trunk sent up to the Chancellor's office?
THINGS WE DON'T DO
If the election of a yell leader could be postponed until after the mid-term exams, no doubt a great deal of unlooked for talent would be brought to light.
Realize the value of Athletic Tickets.
Run up Adams street for exercise Sass the instructor at the beginning of the term.
Smoke cigarettes in Fraser hall.
Take engineering for a snap.
Think Missouri will beat Kansas.
Take the candidate seriously.
Go to the Chemistry Building to relieve a headache.
Manager Hamilton ought to be able to discover an opponent for the open date of the football schedule. October 12 is down on the records as being a very fair date for a discovery.
HUMOR THAT NOTION!
Humor that notion! The next time you are walking about the summit of Mount Oread, forget your troubles for a minute and wander over to the Daily Kansan office. Smile and walk in. Ask us how we get out such a paper every day. Smile again and hand our circulation manager a two dollar bill. We will gladly explain everything.
Come to the office any time. If the circulation manager is not present some one else will be. Let us arrange to make you happy for the remainder of the year. A two dollar bill makes it sure.
If you can't pay for it now, or if you are skeptic hand in your name and use your two dollars yourself until November 1.
If you have not already done so, come over and take a look at our
plant. If you have, came again. See everything in the office; incidentally, a picture of the Chancellor. And when you see the big Miehle press turning out, 2,000 Daily Kansans an hour, and an instinctive notion moves you, humor it.
Our idea of luxuries includes fancy glass paper weights.
HAVE YOU A DOUBLE?
Any outsider can now visit any class in the University, providing they have the consent of the instructor, of the dean, and that they have paid the regular matriculation fee of ten dollars. It is the consensus of opinion that if an outsider could find a double among the students, he would be enabled to visit a class every now and then without the payment of a single cent.
According to Professor Dyche, anybody can raise fish with proper care. This may be true. The real difficulty lies in getting them out of the water.
"HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL."
The entire faculty will meet next Tuesday in the lecture room of Blake hall to plan the year's work. "Well," a student was overheard to remark hopefully, "there's so many of them that they may not be able to agree."
According to the last report, enrollment is still mounting upward. It is hoped that it will not become dizzy.
ENTRANCE QUESTIONS FOR FRESHMEN.

STUDENT HEALTH
Health is one of the important factors that will determine whether a student will succeed.
Scientists tell us that man's mentality and morals are much more dependent upon his health than is commonly supposed. It is usually the weak man physically that becomes the weak man mentally and morally
The moral is, of course, to be careful of the physical health. Regular habits, careful diet, plenty of outdoor activity and exercise normally keep one in good health.
Students, especially those who are used to farm or other outdoor, active life, are liable to suffer from lack of exercise. They discontinue the vigorous life in the open air but keep up their heavy eating. The result is a sluggish brain and decreased mental activity. The remedy is obvious.
Plenty of sleep is very important. The more active the brain the more sleep required. Webster went to bed at 9 o'clock and arose at 5. General Grant, during his campaigns, deferred to the Army until out nine hours' sleep. Bryan, on his speaking tours, slept in a chair between stops.
Outdoor exercise and nine hours sleep will help wonderfully to keep the student in good health. Free from physical ills, he will be able to concentrate his mind on his lessons. He will also pore over their work till midnight but those who are able to concentrate their minds upon their work.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
One of them sat down at the inn, saying, "It is not my business." But the other ran into the flames, and saved much roods and some people.
When he came back, his companion

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
MR. WILLIAM BILL NYE THE COMIC HISTORIAN
The Daily Kanman will publish in
contributions welcome — The Editor.
These early Britons were suitable only to act as ancestors. Aside from that, they had no good points. They dwelt in mud huts thatched with straw. They had no currency and no ventilation—no drafts, in other words. Their boats were made of wicker work plastered with clay. Their swords were made of tin, alloyed with copper, and after a brief skirmish, the entire army had to fall back and straighten its blades.
From Bill Nye's Comic History of England.
GO LOVELY ROSE
England even before Christ, as
ow, was a sort of money centre, and
hither came the Phoenicians and the
arthagnians for their tin.
The writer of these pages, though of British descent, will, in what he may say, guard carefully against the possibility that a swift moment from the right.
From the first glad whinny of the first unicorn down to the tip end of the nineteenth century, the history of Great Britain has been dear to her descendants in every land, "neath every sky.
They also had short spears made with a raw-hide string attached, so that the deadly weapon could be jerked back again. To spear an enemy with one of these harppoons, and then, after playing him for half an hour or so, to land him and finish him up with a tin sword, constituted one of the most reliable boons peculiar to that strange people.
When I resemble her to the,
How sweet and fair she seems to be.

BOWS
But to write a truthful and honest history of any country the historian should, that he may avoid over-praise and silly and mawkish sentiment, reside in a foreign country, or be so situated that he may put on a false moustache and get away as soon as possible; copies have been sent to the printers.
Tell her that's young,
And shuns to have her groces spied,
and she's just shoved.
Go, lovely rose! Tell her that most

They're like jelly beans.
THE CUSTOM IS FORGOTTEN HERE
There was a time once during the Dark Ages when a man's standing in society was measured largely by his ability to defy clean the skull of his adversary in hostile contact, or of his brother in a friendly bout to determine who was the "best man." That custom died of morbid old age, but its spirit somehow entered into our universities and colleges and took the form of "initiatory rites." The other name is shorter but we are glad to note that it is fast losing favor in our best colleges and seldom spoken now except in some dark corner where the speaker can hide the blush of shame that naturally follows its utterance. We are glad that hazing is almost a thing of the past, and that its death blow has been struck by the students themselves. It is a relic of barbarians and ought to have been buried long ago before the old carass became noisome—The Central Collegian.
ENGINEER'S CASTOFFS
Leftover clothes in the Mechanical Engineering building lockers will be sold at auction if present plans of the janitor, Mr. Loree, are carried out. Every year a large number of garments are left in the lockers by students who are in a hurry to leave for home. Formerly Mr. Loree has made a bonfire of the leftovers, but now he is considering the proposition of putting them to some use—University Nebraskan.

Agriculture had a pretty hard start in those days among these people, and now where the glorious fields of splendid pale and billow oatmeal may be seen interspersed with every kind of domestic and imported fertilizer in cunning little hillocks just bursting forth into fragrance by the roadside, then the vast island was a quaking swamp or covered by impervious forests of gigantic trees, up which with coarse and shameless glee could scamper the nobility.
(Excuse the rhythm into which I may now and then drop as the plot levels.—Author.)
Caesar later on made more invasions; one of them for the purpose of returning his team and flogging a Druid with whom he had disregretted his loyalty on a former trip. (He had also bought his team of the Druid.)
It appears that a new use has been found for the skin of the common brown rat. In England, it is said, the bookbinders have taken to using these skins for covers of fine editions hitherto bound in high grade leathers. It is reported that a trade amounting to one-quarter million dollars is made annually and that many skins are imported from Calcutta. Rat skins have long been used for purses and gloves. —Kansas City Star.

The canning department at the University of Missouri put up over 25,000 cans of tomatoes this year. —University Missouri.
The Dean's office is the canning department of the University of Kansas, but tomatoes are not included in the list of what is canned there.
