He Bowed His Head.
I met her on th' crowded street.
I must have pailed as she went past
For in her eyes I seemed to gretest
A soul light pure and calm and sweet,
That I had lost and found at last.
Her face with all its grace r a s ,,
I'd seen and let it down.
And as one ill lied with i r prurious awe
I bowed my head. I bowed my head.
I ought her out and told her all:
How in her face I a- w-o-md to see
A picture fair I could recall
Thro' some "face past the dark dusty pa'l"
A picture more than life to me.
Her answer like a chime of balls
Came back to me but when sae said
"I must have saw y i n u somewhat else."
I bowed my head.

A NEW GIRL'S FRATERNITY.
What is Thought of it by a girl that is not a Member of a Fraternity.
Who is in it? Who knows anything about it? These are the questions that have been asked quite frequently during the past week by the various members of the several girl's Fraternities here. Of course it will be known at once the questions are in reference to the Fraternity that is now trying to add itself to the list of the K. S. U. secret societies, and everybody is on the tip toe of expectancy waiting for developments. The girls who are fraternity members of course are anxious because any new fraternity that enters here will weaken their influence. The girls that are not members of fraternities, of whom I am one, are interested in any new fraternity that may enter here for an entirely different reason. With us it is will the new comer be like the ones that are already here, making their chief requisites for membership, a girl's face and caring little about her scholarship, or will it look more towards true merit in the selection of its members? By this I do not mean that the girl's fraternities here do not have any meritorious girls among its members, for some of the most worthy girls of which our University can boast are members of Fraternities, but it is to be feared that they would never have been so if they did not have an attractive face or not possessing that, have a rich father who could open up his house when a party is to be given.
Mentioning a party reminds me of another cause for speculation as to the course to be pursued by the new Fraternity. Every one is familiar now with the jealousy that exists among the Fraternities that are already here when one of them gives a party. If special pains are taken to make the guests have a pleasant time, and if one of those present appreciating the attention shown, speaks of it afterwards or perchance he may be connected with some paper and to show his appreciation gives an account of the party, he must be careful what he says for the members of the other fraternities are ever on the alert to find fault with what he says. An instance of this kind is of recent occurrence and I remember how disgusting the controversy became before it was concluded.
comes, if it comes at all, will try to avoid these things that are so objectionable in the others, I, and, I think the majority of the non-fraternity girls will give the new fraternity a cordial welcome even if all of us cannot become members.
If the new fraternity when it

THE STATE Y. W. C. A. CONVENTION.
The Fourth Annual Convention of the Y. W. C. A's of Kansas opened Thursday evening, October 3, with a praise service, in which it was brought out very clearly that the various associations of the state have had much to be thankful for during the past year. The next morning after a short devotional service, the convention began its business by the election of officers Miss Lillian Dudley, of Marion, who was president of our Y. W. O. A. at the University in the year '87-'88, was elected president. The chief business of the morning was hearing the reports of the different associations in the states and of the state officers. About twenty associations were heard from. In the afternoon there were several papers, all of which were good, and were followed by animated discussions. Saturday morning was the financial meeting at which nearly $1,700 was pledged for the state work. As one result of this, our State Secretary will have an office secretary to assist her. Saturday afternoon, after the Question box, the convention was addressed by Mr. Speer and Mr. O'Brien or the subject of missions. At this meeting eighteen signed the missionary pledge. At the Women's Gospel meeting Sunday afternoon there were six conversions.
This brief account of the convention can give little idea of the spirit which animated it. There were present about seventy five delegates, nearly all of whom were thoroughly in earnest and enthusiastic in the work, and were women of culture and refinement, such as it does one good to meet. Besides our state workers, Miss Nettie Dunn, one of the National Secretaries, was present and gave help and encouragement. There were many evidences that the work has had had a wonderful growth in the state during the past year, and is supplying a need which no organization before it has been able to supply. In fact, Kansas is one of the leading states in this work, and the delegates went away from the convention feeling that it had been a grand success and that they had gained good which would last during their whole lives.
OROPHILIAN.
a need which no organization be-
Old time enthusiasm reigned in Orophilian Hall last Friday evening when the meeting was called to order by the president, R. R. Whitman. No program had been prepared but as often is the case that which comes without preparation is often more interesting than when much time has been spent getting ready and an audience was never more highly entertained than the one that was gathered in Orophilian Hall last Friday evening. There is perhaps nothing that will better attest the thorough training that the members of Orophilian are getting than the fact that they can at a moments notice give as interesting a program as the one renderec last Friday evening
The exercises were opened with a cornet solo by Will Curry, accompanied on the piano by Mr. Dick. A very beautiful and realistic recitation entitled "The Ghost" was delivered by Miss Gleason and on being enced she responded with a selection telling how Mrs. Bird joined the Masons. Miss Parks followed with a solo that elicited much applause from the audience. She was folowed by Messrs. Caldwell and Walker, who entertained the audience with reminiscences and old time triumphs of Orophilian. The exercises were concluded with "The Husking Bee" by Miss Gleason.
THE SEMINARY.
A large gathering was present at the second meeting of the Seminary of Historical and Political Science last Friday evening, several of the audience being from the city. The program presented was an unusually good one and was listened to with attention. The preceding meeting was reported by A. L. Burney; Domestic Current Events were discussed by Miss Laura Lockwood; Foreign Events by C. P. Chapman; The October Forum was reviewed by H. F. M. Bear, Prof. Blackmar gave a very interesting and instructive talk on "Some Phases of the Income Tax." Ed Esterly acted as reporter for the meeting.
The next meeting of the Seminary will be held next Friday evening and no better place can be found to spend a pleasant and profitable evening.

Townsend, followed by a declamation by Wescott. After recess the question Resolved, "That the surplus in the United States treasury should be apportioned among the states to assist them in maintaining their free schools, was discussed in the affirmative by Caughey and Palm and in the negative by Markley and King. A. C. Markley was installed as Sergeant-at-Arms.
A Miraculous Cure.
Arora News, March 9th, 1888: A case worth mentioning is Miss Delia Brooks daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Brooks, residing on Bluff street. This young lady's vision was so defective as to compel her to leave school when quite young, but no optician seemed to be able to do more than afford temporary and partial relief. When the watch factory was started she went to work there, but was soon compelled to abandon the job. Her sight was fast failing, and she was threatened with total blindness. She could see nothing at a distance, and was scarcely able to recognize her friends close at hand. But two years ago, when Prof. Samuels was here her mother insisted that she should consult him and make one more effort for relief. He made just the glasses her peculiarly affected eyes required, with which she could at once see so well as to readily distinguish persons across the street, and the improvement in her vision was very rapid. She resumed her job at the watch factory, where she is now employed, and the grateful parents yesterday joyfully assured a News representative that her sight has been fully restored, a permanent cure having evidently been effected, as she no longer uses the glasses except occasionally when compelled to work at night.
The happy parents could hardly find words sufficiently expressive to convey a full sense of their appreciation of the great success achieved by Prof. Samuels in the cure of their daughter's eyes—and this is but one of the many similar cures we might mention.
Prof. Samuels will be at the Eldridge House until Monday only.
