I would tree from the city's rule and law, From its fashions and forms cut loose, And go where the strawberry grows on its straw. And the gooseberry grows on its goose; Where the cathartic tree is climbed by the cat tree and becomes a garden ornament. The guildless and unsuspecting rat On the rattain bird at play. I will catch at ease the saffron cow and the cowlets in its hee, oo As they leap in joy from back toough On the top of a cowlsip tree And list while the participles drums his drum And the woodchuck chucks his wood And the dog devours the dogwood plum In the primal solitude. Oh, let me drink from the moss-grown pump That was hewn from a pumpkin tree! Eat mush and milk from a rural stump. Eat mush and milk from a rural stump, from fashion and folly free. New gathered mush from the mushroom vine. Milk from the milkweed sweet With pincushion from the plant. With pineapple from the pine. (G+r-nusk) Machin-broke. Want a wore glass. (Glossy) Glass. Then to the whitewashed dairy I'll run Where the dairy maist haunting hies, Her ruddy and golden butter to churn. From the milk of her butterflies. I'll rise at morn with the earliest bird, To the fragrant barnyard pass, And watch while the farmer turns his herd And Walted Wilhelm the lairner turns his herd of grasshoppers into a fountain. — *Humboldt* *Missouri* EXCHANGE NOTES. The Western School Journal is very interesting even to those taking no part in teaching. We are glad to receive it. The Miami Student, is excellent throughout. Its editorials are strong and well written, and its matter as a whole is arranged in good form. Typographically it is a handsome paper also. The Earlhamite is good little paper. It has no startling or remarkable features, but maintains a sort of an even tenor, which naturally belongs to a college paper long enough established to put "Vol. XVII" at the head of its page. We have received Vol. 1. No 2, of the Pan-Hellenic, published at Missouri State University, by the Sigma Nu, Zeta Phi, Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternities. It gives promise of being a good paper. The Hesperian seems to be getting it right and left, and it deserves it too. If all the rank injustice and senseless rant contained the Hesperian's tirades against fraternities were sifted out, there wouldn't be enough left to keep the paper bound between its covers. Vol.1, No.1, of The Wesleyan Hatehet, published at Nebraska Wesleyan University comes to us as an exchange. It is quite a creditable paper, crude in places, but vigorous and giving signs of energetic backing. It contains several good articles, and the editorials with the exception of the first two, are good. This is the first issue of the Chaddock since it became the style for every one to have the "la Grippe." Well we all had it and do not care for any more thank you. The following "poetry" suitable to this occasion is taken from one of our neighboring papers: "Mr McGinty had a dog, Mr. McGinty named him Enza. Every time the door was open Influence."—Chaddock. For a young man to graduate from an institution of learning with out the ability to make a creditable speech is but to reflect seriously on the institution, and is an acknowledgement on his part that one of the important features of his education has been neglected. The man who knows but little, yet, can express that little well, will advance farther on the highway to success, it matters not whether in a professional life or in social or business circles, than the man with twice the education who can not give a single thought intelligibly to his fellow men.—Miami Student. The following is from the University Argus: "Judge Martin, in answer to a request of the legal editor to give him an item for the Argus, furnished the following report of an examination conducted by him when on an examining board in St. Louis a good many years ago: Candidate: I don't know; unless it is where the attorney puts in his charge for services. Examiner: What is the purpose of the charging part of a bill in equity? Examiner: I see you have an eye for business. Candidate: That's why I am here. Examiner: What is a libel in admiralty? Candidate; A libel in admiralty is a slander against a steam boat. Examiner: You are a man of wit as well as a man of business. You will have to come before us again before we can pass you as a man of law. Call round at the next examination. The College Echoes, from Lane University, is the crudest specimen we have seen yet. The rural simplicity of some of its articles is extremely amusing. The faculty and students have adopted uniforms. The faculty will wear double breasted coats and the students single breasted ones. The suits are to cost $18.00 and are to be made of blue cloth. It is announced that "This suit will always be in style, even on Commencement Day." The twofold object of adopting the uniforms is stated to be, "economy and advertising." The Echoes also says: "We have heard of one silly man who thought this had some connection with the G. A. R. There is no ground for such a thought. No more than to think that it had some connection with the Santa Fe Railroad." Doubtless that man now feels relieved. We also learn that Lane is to have a new type writer, a surveyor's transit and a skeleton. The Echoes does not amount to much as a college paper, but it represents its institution well enough, no doubt.

The Miami Student speaking of the Kansas Wesleyan Advance says: "It contains the winning oration delivered at the State Oratorical Contest The subject was "The Puritan and Cavalier." The exchange editor would like some one to inform him how many orations there are on this subject, as he has heard two delivered and read three on the same subject within the last month." O' you will get used to it after a while, dear Student just as the rest of us do. It is interesting you know to watch and see how the next man will treat this novel and interesting subject. Raymond's Liver Pills are equal to the occasion. The Republican Record gives the University a good notice as follows- Barn Opposite Lawrence House. "We have just received the 24th annual catalogue of the Kansas State University. This institution has been making rapid strides within the last few years, and now stands at the head of all institutions of higher learning west of the Mississippi. The number of students in attendance for the college year of 1889-90 is 508, distributed in the various departments as follows: Science, Literature and the Arts, 354; Law, 57; Music, 59; Art, 40; Pharmacy, 31. Fourteen different states and territories are represented. When students are sent from almost all parts of the United States, it is pretty good evidence that the institution enjoys an excellent reputation throughout the country. Thirty-two of the best educators in the country are the instructors in this institution, and students have begun to realize that it is no longer necessary to attend Yale or Harvard in order to get a finished education, but that they can get it here at home, at the University of Kansas, and get just as good an article as they will have to pay three time as much for in the noted Eastern colleges. The present high standing of this institution, to which any Kansan can point with pride, is largely due to the earnest efforts of Professors James H. Canfield, F. H. Snow and J. W. Green. We notice that there are six students attending the University this year from Neo ho county; this number should be trebled next year." Pat Graham will make your old shoes look as good as new. GEO. R.
