I WATCHED HER
R.
I watched her as she passed by gate.
With form so pleasing fair,
My heart leaped up aga net its walls
And knocked for cress there.
I caught the ray of bright blue eyes,
Quick raised wi h soft control,
The which 'neth silken lashes gleamed
Like windows of the roul.
I marked the conscious winning smile.
What could weat th eclipse,
And heard the sweet "Good Morning" fall
From rosy-tinted lips.
I listened till her footfalls sound,
Yat faint and fainter grew.
I watched her till the distance dim,
Obscured my further view.
And when at last I turned my gaze
(Fond hopes insatiate)
I wished another morn would speed,
When she should pass the gat3.
A THANKSGIVING STORY.
A Tale of True Love.
CHAP. I.
The afternoon before Thanks-
giving, in the year 187- , Edward
B---- and William S---- , two
students of K. S. U. left Lawrence,
to spend the Thanksgiving vacation
at the home of B---- .
B——, as must he known, was a Sophomore, and S—— was a Freshman. Although, the two had known each other but little over a month they had become fast friends, and S—— had accepted an invitation from B—— to visit him at his home.
S——was a type of youth by no means rare. He was what is commonly known as a "versatile" youth. He chose to regard himself as a "lady killer," and took a great deal of pride in recounting the various hearts he had broken, and the desire that was uppermost in his mind was, that before returning to school another broken heart might be added to an already long list.
And he was not to be disappoited.
CHAP. II.
Attending Bethany College, at Topeka, B——had a cousin, Miss Ella B——, and it happened that she had also concluded to take advantage of the Thanksgiving vacation, and visit at B——'s home. This cousin was very pretty and possessed all the charms and fascinations appertaining to the girl from a female college and consequently she was just the girl to strike his fancy.
He first made her acquaintance at supper, the evening of his arrival and and at once became enamored with her charms. He spent a most delightful evening in her company and when he said good night it was with the thought that she was certainly the most agreeable girl he ever met.
CHAP. III.
B—— belonged to a good old Methodist family and next morning the household prepared to attend church to offer praise for the blessings of the past year and to invoke continued happiness and prosperity during the coming year.
short time of their acquaintance he had given up all ideas of heart breaking, etc. It was a genuine attachment this time.
Of course it came quite naturally for S—— to escort Miss B—— to church, B—— being a cousin and not much of a ladies man anyhow. S—— was in ecstacles for in the
S—— heard little of the sermon that day. His thoughts were on the fair being at his side and when the services were over and S—— walked home at her side he was transported from this world of sorrow and care, to that land where all is sunshine and happiness.
For four days, S——remained intoxicated by the presence of his fair divinity. He was ever at her side. However, all did not go as well for him as he might have wished. She always treated him with politeness and courtesy, but nothing more. For once his charms had failed to work. He showed her every attention possible but she maintained the same coldness towards him. He was in despair.
Bright and clear the morning of departure arrived and with it the revival of S——'s spirits for that morning Miss B—— had exerted herself to treat him pleasantly and he was now in the very elyseum of his bliss, and he was overjoyed when he found that she was to return to her work on the same train with him.
That was a memorable ride to him. For a long time he remembered it How happy he was as the train sped rapidly along, B like the good friend and dutiful cousin that he was, had early taken his place in a forward car and left the happy couple to themselves. How they chatted and what loving glances they cast at each other. And then as the train neared Topeka, thoughts of parting began to grieve him, how his heart swelled with joy as he saw her brush a tear away. Then another one and stil others in such rapid succession that her handkerchief was soon wet with tears. Then he began to console her, and to assure her that in spite of the strict rules of Bethany he would continue to see her. But all of his words were in vain, for as the train stopped at Topeka, "It's all right now" the said as she removed the annoying particle of dust from her eye and as her face lit up with unaffected joy as she caught sight of her Topeka fellow anxiously awaiting her arrival, and a moment later as S——heard the cordial "Why, Charly, I am so glad to see you again," he sank back into his seat with a sigh of sadness.
He had broken another heart, but it was his own.

SYLVIA
The college department of the W. C.T.U. has decided to address a letter to the president and faculty of every college in the country asking them to forbid the use of intoxicating drinks at college banquets and class meetings. This is a good idea, but the committee will save time and trouble by taking Washburn off the list, for her students never drink on such occasions.

Much interest has been manifested in Kansas concerning the proposed Methodist University at Topeka. A meeting was recently held in Topeka to take action and we find the following account of the meeting in the Washburn Reporter:
The meeting at the Grand Opera House last week, in the cause of higher education, possesses a peculiar interest for the students of Washburn. The meeting was called for the purpose of presenting to the people of Topeka the claims of the new Methodist University which is soon to be erected west of the city. And surely, if the appeals of genuine enthusiasm and of brilliant oratory have any effect upon the destinies of our institutions of learning, the future of the University is bright. Gov. Humphrey presided over the meeting. The introductory address was made by Bishop Ninde, of Topeka, who briefly set forth the purposes for which the University was founded, and the hopes that were entertained of its success. The bishop paid high compliments to Bethany and Washburn, referring to the latter as one of the foremost educational institutions in the west. The presence of the bishops of the Methodist church was a fortunate occurrence, and will undoubtedly contribute in a great measure to the success of the movement. Bishop S. M. Merrill, of Chicago, followed Bishop Ninde. He held the liberal view that the public schools should be kept non-sectarian, but that Chris Ian influence and religious education should be sought and found in the colleges and Universities of our land. The address by Bishop C. H. Fowler, late president of the Northwestern University, at Evanston, Illinois, was probably the most elaborate and brilliant effort of the evening. Lack of space prevents us from mentioning the many striking truths and eloquent arguments which he advanced, but, judging from the enthusiastic reports of the students who were present, the impression made will be a lasting one. Addresses were also made by Judge John Martin, Judge John Guthrie, Dr. Linn, Hon. T. Dwight Thatcher and other speakers of local repute.
