"This world and one more, and the 'taters to dig'" said the Arkansas farmer to his wife. This week and one more, and then who knows? This is the vital question at the University just now.
Missouri's old rabbit's foot seems to be still in action on the diamond as well as in track athletics. Kansas was surely hoodooed yesterday, or she could not have helped making a larger score.
The first presentation of the senior play last night brought forth only favorable comments on every hand. It is a work of real dramatic merit, aside from the local adaptations, and it is a thing of which the senior class, and its committee, may well point with pride.
Once more the seemingly inevitable has happened, and another track defeat is ours at the hands of Missouri. We can only keep at it in the hope that with the new gym and all winter practice we can sometime turn the tables on our friends across the line.
We wish once more to ask our subscribers who have not paid their subscription to do so as soon as possible. Don't think we won't ask you for it—we're not so backward as that. There are hundred and fifty in the University to whom this applies, a share of that money is needed to pay the expenses of printing for the rest of the year.
The scheme to hold off the reservation of tickets for the senior play lacked a great deal
of the fulfillment of its purpose, if that purpose was to place them on in a lump on Monday morning. The situation was that all the seats were sold and located by the time they were supposed to go on sale. Such is college enterprise.
Valuable Drawings.
Marie A. Greene, class of '04 University of Kansas, teaching fellow in philosophy in the University, has just completed a series of eighty-four drawings representing cross sections of the human body cut at intervals of one-half to two inches. The series is unique and of large practical value. Every detail of structure is shown with great accuracy. The drawings will be placed in the library of the School of Medicine. Miss Greene has been engaged in this work a part of her time since 1903.

Hamlet Gets Death Sentence.
Guilty of murder in the first degree was the verdict of the jury in the Hamlet murder trial at the Moot court in the Law school at Minnesota. Was Hamlet insane when he killed Polonius behind the curtain? This was the question which weighed in the balance during during two days. The jury after being out an hour and ten minutes returned a verdict of "guilty."
Graduating Recital.
Miss Alice Leonard of the Fine Arts department will give a graduating organ recital in Fraser Hall Friday evening of this week. She will be assisted by Joseph Farrell, baritone.

Venerable Mason Visits the Hill Again.
LAID FRASER'S CORNERSTONE.
An interesting character visited at the University last week, and was unnoticed in the crowd of other visitors on the hill. It was J. H. Schaeffer, the man who placed the first stone of Fraser Hall. When the construction of the building was begun there was great rivalry among the masons to determine who should lay the first corner stone of the college building. The honor fell to the lot of Mr. Schaeffer. This was his first visit to the campus since he took his tools down the hill. He was accompanied by a man who had lived in the vicinity of Lawrence for thirty-two years and had never been on the hill before.
Mr. Schaeffer made the remark that even if he had been gone so long there were still pieces of his old shirt all over Fraser Hall. He explained this startling statement by saying that when the stone arches over the windows were put in place in putting in the key-stone, his shirt would get caught and the only way to get loose was to tear away and leave the fragment between the stones. Mr. Schaeffner has a piece of the hand-rail that used to run along the sides of the old steps to the main entrance. This piece is about three inches long and he has it polished and varnished. He told an interesting story of Dr. Snow and his weather reports in the early days. It seems that Professor Snow had begun this work when the University was still housed in old north college. Mr. Schaeffer said it was a familiar sight when Fraser Hall was being built to see Dr. Snow ride a little Indian pony up the hill to observe weather conditions. This is doubtless where Dr. Snow acquired the fearless way of riding which he still manifests in his meteoric flights down Mt. Oread on his bicycle.
Sigma Xi Meeting.
The Sigma Xi meets this week on Thursday evening at the home of Professor Kay, instead of with Professor McFarland as was announced Saturday.
