S-S-S-T; 'TIS ALL SAINTS' EVE
Take Your Mirror, Duck for Apples, and Learn Your Future
SPIRITS DID THE MISCHIEF
Fences
But Now Its the Small Boy Who Tears Down the
The night when the elves cavort in the fireplace; the night when the sprites work mischief; the night when ghosts — same as spooks — perform miracles; the night when spirits become visible and are communicative; the night when all things are wrong and nothing goes by theory or practice;—that is All Saints' Eve. Halloween is on us tonight.
All Saints' Eve, or Halloween, as the country and city-folk now call it, was formerly a pagan festival, the only day of the year when things were unnatural. The games of today played on this mysterious event are but an obsession, old pagan but. But what boy will admit that post-office (old-fashioned but still good) is a remembrance of paganism.
BR-R-R-R-R
"Tis the night intended for information regarding matrimonial prospects. But girls only think of matrimonial affairs. The future bespakes itself in large letters. All Saints' Eve is the only time they see a woman and apples have always been used as divining powers for the telling. They still hold sway.
Another spine-curling business of the eve of saints is that of mounting the darkened stairs backwards; then backing into a darker room, there to look into a mirror held so the door of the room will be reflected in the mirror; and finally, face of the young lady's intended and future should appear about this time in the mirror. If no face appears, there is no hope.
THE SPIRITS WERE MALICIOUS
The heathens who started this seary business meant that on this night the spirits abilities woke all mankind along with plenty of mischief. The small boy of the present century carries out their intentions perfectly. The friend of Loki is alive in him. And as fairy stories tell us, Loki was a mighty spirit. He was some spook in his time.
But the small boy is not the only one who is busy on this night of nights. Bigger boys oftimes commit depredations at which many a student finds himself. Even University students do things. The old board sidewalk on Adams street was destroyed last year by University ghosts as a standing remembrance of the actions of spirits. The cards tell us of no events scheduled for this evening by the ghosts, but it is always well to play safe. The ghosts do strange things on even like this.
An article "While Water" published in The *Journal* "Aspect of the Tencent Problem" by Prof. Geo E. Putham will appear in the Quarterly Report of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture which will appear soon. Professor Putham has written another article, "The Federal Farm Loan Act" which will appear in the December number of the American Economic Review.

NEW CLASS ORGANIZED FOR STUDENTS IN ART
Because of the increased enrollment in the School of Fine Arts, W. A. Griffith, professor in painting and drawing, will organize a night class for those students who cannot be given enough time for all their drawing practice in the day classes. The class will meet on Tuesday, until Thursday day nights from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., as well as to students in the University who may wish to take advantage of the night class.
While the night class is a new thing at K. U., it cannot be considered an experiment, for it has been tried in many of the larger schools of fine arts and design. It allows many to take the course who otherwise would not have the opportunity. No credit has been arranged for except that work done at night in the daytime or that one does the daytime for those regularly mrolled in the course.

All excellently made of a rich, lustrous pure Silk Crepe.
$3.98 and $4.98
We bought these Blouses under a most unusual and money-saving arrangement that brought them to us at prices radically under what they would ordinarily cost—the order having been placed months before the excessive rise in the price of silk and in accordance with our established policy, this saving we exercised will be passed on to our patrons.
The allotment of these Blouses is not large and when they are gone—no more of the same style can be procured

READ THE DAILY KANSAS FOR BUYING ADVICE
In the advertising columns of the Daily Kansan you will find copy of the leading merchants of Lawrence. It may be information concerning a dry goods bargain or an announcement of a new lot of shoes just received by one of Lawrence's several shoe dealers. Regardless of what it is, you may know this: It is honest advertising you are reading--it has the guarantee of the Kansan back of it.
And then, too, from a loyalty
standpoint, you should patronize the Kansan advertisers. It is your paper—you should "stand by those who stand by you."
You students who are already subscribers of the Kansan have just a little the edge on those who are not-if there is a real bargain down town you can take first advantage of it. If a new lot of clothes, shoes, etc., arrive, bringing with them new styles, you get the first "whack" at them.
